A great addition to the series, Guitar Hero III offers some great new tracks for hardcore fans, while the more responsive controls are great for newcomers.

An average game that needed an infusion of hardcore "controllable" action and an improved combat system. The missions needed to be varied from the beginning to the end.

Overkill is a high-octane thrill ride from beginning to end... or in other words, fun.

While it may not be as deep as the latest RPG, or as intense as the latest action game, Solitaire is like Tetris: a timeless classic that anyone and everyone can enjoy. When you put this many different versions in such a compact package, it’s an easy recommendation.

Leave this one alone … you’ll thank me. Even if you like the show, it’s annoying and the aggravating execution along with the boring story and level design won’t provide much more than MAYBE a couple of minutes of fun.

Close to achieving Naughty Dog greatness in level design but far away from that success in other areas, Crash of the Titans isn’t on par with its 2D, Game Boy Advance predecessors.

You can’t play a racing game when there are walls – literally walls – that prevent you from driving more than two miles an hour.

Somewhat of a niche game, The Eye of Judgment nonetheless makes the whole trading card game genre accessible and graphically entertaining.

Clive Barker’s Jericho doesn’t provide the same degree of deep and engaging gameplay as Undying, opting instead for a more accessible, mainstream adventure that can be frightening at best, and repetitive at worst. Still, the game has no shortage of action and intensity.

The FPS elements are stock and the levels have a feeling of guiding you through the game because the maze of ruins you encounter will only allow you to go in one continuous direction. Still, the controls are easy to learn and the game does have its share of heart-start moments.

An extremely short and derivative game that tries very hard to emulate God of War, but fails to be as compelling or nearly as fun to play.

The gameplay is very familiar and the only major hold up is the lack of camera control. It makes the journey a bit more frustrating at times.

Castlevania fans will certainly find a lot to love about The Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP and, while the different versions of these classics are still too hard, these classics are just way too good to pass up.

It has everything you want in your fighting games with the exception of online capabilities.

Ace Combat 6 is an accessible and exciting flight combat game with great arcade-style gameplay. While the story elements are pretty cheesy, the game itself is a lot of fun.

The point-and-click system may not attract all gamers, but in all seriousness, I fell in love with the controls. As of right now, the gameplay stands out above everything else on the Wii.

While it’s certainly not for everyone, Mega Man ZX Advent offers some of the best 2D shooter action in years.

Even when I became involved with the story, I’d eventually get tired of text tapping the screen, and quit playing altogether. Fans should pick up this title immediately. Newcomers should be wary of the genre, not the game itself.

The interface is clunky and once you can get past that, you will find this is a game that is very much in step with every RPG stereotype. Yep, there are load times, too.

Tools of Destruction feels a bit short at times, but that is only when you are just driving through the game, going from point A to point B in the shortest route possible. When you take time to explore, you realize how expansive this game is, and how wonderfully designed.

An assortment of lackluster games with only a few shining stars. Unfortunately the shining stars are just not enough to keep this collection above water.

This game is for young fans of the Naruto series, and I hardly think it could appeal to anyone else. There is a fully fleshed-out RPG experience here, though, even if it is unremarkable.

There must have been another reason for the delay, because the game is not much different from the Xbox 360 version.

Capcom’s attempt at bringing a strict motorbike racing simulator is a good try but it just doesn’t come together smoothly in all the right places where it counts the most.

The presentation sucks, but games are ultimately about something more than that. They’re about the entertainment value, and if you’re a fan of chess or don’t yet know how to play, Chessmaster is great game to have on your DS.

Obviously directed towards the children here and now, the presentation and lasting appeal of EA Playground does not grab hold of any adult’s hand any more firm than a child itself.

While it’s certainly not for everyone, Front Mission provides awesome tactical combat and enough customization options to keep even the most hardcore gamers busy.

If you’re looking for the next big title for the Wii, Victorious Boxers Revolution isn’t the game. If you’re looking for a solid title that offers some great control options, especially for the Wii, then this is your game.
