    Three types of laser-blasting fun: on foot, in a tank, and in a spaceship. The first two are pretty close in controls and level layout. They differ in speed and weapon type, but not much else. The last one – the spaceship – is a slow clone of the top-down, side-scrolling space shooter genre. It’s only fun you have something to blast.

    The sprites are all there, the frenetic control schemes, but in this package is also a solid interface that allows players to easily navigate for instructions, to set up multiplayer sessions and to embark on an entertaining trip down memory lane.

    Gears of War has easy to grasp gameplay with solid controls and tons of action. Plus, the weapons are great (you just can't beat the chainsaw attached to a gun).

    Fans will love it, and newcomers will quickly go and buy the previous installments in the series.

    A wonderful puzzler that is only slightly compromised by its visual makeover. A must have for any PSP owner.

    CoD3 does what is expected, in many ways. It delivers the CoD experience with the next-generation console touch. There are some welcomed additions, and the game is a visceral treat. The improvements are minor.

    This is Tony Hawk and that means pulling off sick tricks and working your way up the rankings to show you are a top boarder. There is a lot of challenge here and some new features that should please fans of the series.

    Combined Assault isn’t a major leap forward for the series but this is still one of the most addictively fun military shooters available on the PS2.

    Thanks to its broken controls, awkward combat mechanics and uninspiring mission objectives, it’s hard to recommend this game to dedicated fans of the show.

    Whether you’re someone who never owned a Sega Genesis or a gamer wanting to relive some of gaming’s peak moments, this collection - made up of 28 of the system’s finest offerings - is a true standout.

    The next best thing to Pokemon ... when Pokemon still rocked.

    The gameplay is fun enough that even after playing a song 20 times, you want to play it 20 more times. No other game makes you feel like you are accurately rocking like Guitar Hero 2.

    It’s short, but it is a delicious bit of eye candy and rather fun to play.

    The game was built for DBZ enthusiasts, but anyone who loves a great fighter will get into this high-flying, non-stop experience.

    If you play games at all, you'll instantly see this game for the unbalanced, unfair and unattractive mess that it is. [May 2007, p.77]

    While not as breathtaking as the next-generation version of the game, Call of Duty 3 for the original Xbox will still not fail to impress with its great visuals, intense action and great multiplayer mode.

    When a game is as much to play as the first Lumines then it’s hard to accept limited imitations packaged as new editions.

    There were a lot of times I was laughing out loud while playing this game. The cut scenes truly are great, and the gameplay itself keeps getting better and better as you progress.

    It is evident that the designers, Related Designs, put their heart into this game, along with a lot of money. The result is very satisfying and there is a lot of bang for your buck.

    The game isn’t very long, and it doesn’t have the great, highly responsive controls of the original Dave Mirra. But if you want low-cost excitement with a lot of replay value, and if you want something to play after finishing "Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam," BMX Challenge is worth a look.

    A great presentation of a TV show that most kids will enjoy playing. The gameplay is solid, and there are no frustrating aspects. While not overly long, the variety of mini-games will have most kids coming back to play.

    One part action, one part RPG. One part Metroid, one part Zelda, one part reminiscent of the PSone era. Technically this is a GBA title, and unfortunately does not take advantage of everything the DS has to offer. But that doesn’t prevent the game from blasting through.

    It takes a lot of guts to completely change the entire formula of a well established and beloved series such as this. The developers took on this monumental task and proved that it is a great chan[g]e of pace.

    It is graphically very nice, has solid sound and has addicting gameplay. Much fun to be had here, with the entertainment factors far outweighing the few flaws the game has.

    The single-player missions are rather linear but the gameplay mechanics create an environment where players won’t be fumbling with controls, but will be able to experience the game for what it presents.

    Fast, frantic, and highly entertaining gameplay – from the first Power Stone. Power Stone 2 isn’t nearly as exciting. The sequel is worth playing, but know that this is not worth buying as a "collection." Buy it for the original if you love the original.

    It’s exciting, has a wonderful trick system, excellent courses, and all the addictive content the series is known for. It’s more of the same, and for the third time running. But unlike other series that just love to repeat themselves, this one is still really good.

    You can't make a choppy action/adventure, darken the imagery, add a less childish lead character, and expect players to come running.

    A creepy and atmospheric FPS with great survival horror elements as well as all out action.

    Konductra is a great and highly creative puzzler that might be too much for most gamers to handle.
