An entry to the Guitar Hero series focusing on the history of one band is a risky move, but fans of Aerosmith should enjoy this retrospective.

The game does provide a challenge, but unlocked characters from GH 3 should have rolled over into this title. And while there is a great list of songs here, others that might have provided a little more variety to the compendium of the band’s best songs of all time are missing.

A title for hardcore Aerosmith fans and gamers that must have their next Guitar Hero fix. If you’re a casual Guitar Hero gamer you might be hard pressed to justify getting the game since the core Guitar Hero experience hasn’t changed.

Aside from the fact that the game can get a bit repetitive and is rather on the short side, Wolf of the Battlefield is a retro-styled shooter that’s hard to put down.

Operation Darkness takes an intriguing idea, but ruins it with some awful gameplay.

The main problem is that the developers really didn’t do anything to make this game stand out from other platform games and it isn’t “deep” enough to keep older gamers coming back.

Wall.E is another disappointment in a series of movie/game disappointments. Kids will tire after their parents have long left the room but there will still be hours left to beat game.

Wall-E on Wii isn’t a terrible game, but it feels like a rushed one. Developer Heavy Iron Studios has some good ideas here, but the poor graphics (particularly the frame rate) and sketchy sound really hold back the overall package.

It’s a solid adaptation that should entertain the younger crowd who fell in love with the film.

A platform game that just passes muster, which is still better then the Iron Man and Hulk titles.

But the game itself is not rewarding. The game is, like so many with a license attached, little more than a rental you'll quickly forget.

A slight improvement over the first Naruto PSP offering, The Phantom Fortress still plays the same while not really pushing the fighting series to exciting new heights.

This is a game that had potential, but that potential was not fully realized. The game is not terrible, especially in a multiplayer setting, but it just fails to connect in a truly long-lasting entertaining way.

Without really breaking new ground in tactical gameplay, the game is still able to give you plenty to think about during the excessively long battles. Character and job classes offer something different on the battlefield and this is good news seeing as there are hundreds of quests to take on aside from the main quest.

If you hated the kiddie aspect of Pikmin, I suspect its stellar gameplay – most of which is present in Overlord – will turn you into a fan of Codemasters’ series now that Nintendo’s overly happy atmosphere has been replaced by a world that’s darker, more evil, and likely more appealing to the average gamer.

Sadly, for returning fans there is very little here that is worth a purchase seeing as the rest feels like a rehash of the first game.

It’s nothing mind-blowing, and it’s almost identical to the original, but Cake Mania 2 is still a fun way to kill some time with your DS.

It’s easy to pick up and play, and hard to put down at first. However, after a few hours players will probably get a little tired of playing.

The game’s biggest boon is the great destruction engine, which is not only technically impressive, but adds some great new elements to the gameplay. The missions are also very meaty and go on for a good long while, never letting up on the intensity level.

An entertaining and well-designed game experience that keeps the action flowing. The Frostbite engine ramps up the strategic elements and the game’s story arc does a nice job of tying all game elements together.

While the controls will take a while to get adjusted to, once you get used to them you will find depth and a challenging game that will last for months on end.

There is a huge learning curve and some frustration when you, as the gamer, react but the controls are sluggish in responding. However, once you find that flow in the controls, and once you start to work up your player to the point where you can compete well, start getting a feel for the court, serving up aces or returning that power stroke inside the line, the game rewards will a real sense of achievement.

While the storyline might ward off those who are driven by involving plots, the gameplay, fluid controls, and attractive graphics wrapped into a $39.99 package should provide more than enough fun and entertainment for any C&C or RTS fan.

Top Spin 3 for the Wii is a case of missed opportunity. The control elements are there, but rather than give the game the staying power of the other next-gen releases, the game modes seem more geared to those who want to invest small amounts of time rather than settle in and stay a while.

Top Spin 3's hardcore AI is on par with the console versions, but the overall package isn't nearly as fun.

This is a decent expansion, but it is not a must-have one.

If the minor frame-rate bugs were nonexistent, the gameplay of Supreme Commander would be nearly flawless. The strategy mixed with the player’s desire to destroy the enemy mesh together well here.

While the flight does get bumpy at times due to some wrist issues and limited song choices the overall experience is still intact.
