The Sudoku mini-game is worth the entire game itself and will provide many hours of fun.

The game does a pretty good job of delivering a play style reminiscent of classic top-down action games, and the addition of fun bonus missions is, well… a bonus.

There is little replay value, except for multiplayer. This game is only recommended for the extremely hardcore ATV fan, and anyone craving a fun and challenging racer should look elsewhere.

If you like games that step outside the bounds of normality – games that defy reality and present the strangest imagery imaginable – Persona 3 is your RPG. But if you prefer the lighter Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy style of games, stick with those. Persona 3 was not made for that audience.

Provides fun, simple tactical action, and really, who could ask for more?

Heroes of Mana shows that it is possible to have an RTS game work on the Nintendo DS and remain fun. The main problem with this game is the dumb AI and very slow-paced gameplay.

This game earns a spot next to Advance Wars DS and Castlevania: DoS as an essential title in the library of anyone who enjoys top-notch single-player experiences on DS.

Simply put, this collection is true to the first four 2D fighting games but somehow the series just doesn’t hold up as well as it did back in the day.

It is nice to finally have nearly all of the features back and playing them on the Xbox 360. All of the new features and additions make this a game that will be played for hours on end.

The PS3 version falters when compared to the much-better 360 version by slogging down the framerate substantially.

Madden NFL 07 for the Nintendo Wii is a great game. Even though this game has its fair share of glitches and the graphics engine is not updated, it still remains a blast to play. The inclusion of all of the multiplayer modes is a great treat and will make this a game not to leave your Nintendo Wii for some time.

With Madden 08 I enjoyed the Superstar Challenge the most since it allowed me to replay great games from last year in different ways. Visually the game is both solid and underwhelming at the same time.

The game is befitting the license. Good job to A2M and Disney for not providing us with the same drivel that normally coincides with these types of games/shows. Any High School Musical fan would be proud to have this title.

A tentative little game without much depth.

For those who recall Lara’s first exploits, this new version has a few surprises but remains faithful to the original.

Just remember to take your Crazy Taxi in small dosages or you might get a little indigestion.

Despite the name change, Mega Man Star Force inherits all the traits of Battle Network – the good and the bad.

It’s fun for a short season, but it won’t hold anyone’s attention for long.

Don’t expect the game to have much to do with a true re-enactment of the Pearl Harbor attack and accept the fantasy that this game brings to the foreground. What it does, it does well.

Thus far the DS has been met with innovation from the adventure, simulation, puzzle, and mind-teaser genres, but this is the first action game that has made a serious impact on Nintendo’s handheld.

A must for players who have longed for a 3D Final Fantasy to be made for Sony’s handheld.

Still unique and oddly enjoyable, Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl might not be as perfect as the console games but it’s still just as interesting on the PSP.

This is Picross at its finest. If you are looking for something to keep you busy for those long bus rides or even while relaxing at home, Picross DS offers nearly endless, addictive gameplay, and with a $20 price tag you can’t go wrong.

It really is a shameless excuse to try and cash in on a license. Fans of the series will be disappointed in this brain numbing exercise.

Young girls will enjoy the cute ponyz and the mini-games at first, but they will soon tire of doing the same things over again. Best for younger players.

In all, it’s going to please a young gamer, which is the point. I fear that the lack of replay value will not keep them coming back for more, which is a shame.

Escape From Bug Island could very easily be a long-lost Dreamcast title, with hastily-added motion controls. Were that the case, I think I’d rather it had stayed lost; I can’t even imagine anyone enjoying this.

Wing Commander Arena should only be downloaded by spaceship nuts that need to play every sci-fi game. Otherwise, you may want to pass on it.
