The best version of soccer that EA has put up to date, and just gets me excited for what lies in store for the full game called FIFA 09 this fall!

A slightly above average romp on home consoles that won't be too challenging for the age group of 13 and above.

Combat is definitely the highlight of the game, and it really blows away the home versions when it comes to that. However, the rest of the title is pretty standard fare.

Pixeljunk Monsters was a fantastic addition to the PSN library, and while Encore builds upon the foundation well enough, the challenge can be more than off-putting to the casual player.

Not a bad portable racer by any means, but there has been better. I'd suggest this one more for the younger crowd, due to the simplified controls if for no other reason.

Crosswords DS is a fun game for those who enjoy word games.

Incredibly distinct and interesting, priced right at $9.99, and is absolutely worthy of much more attention.

There is one thing that did stand out at all times: the story, which is undeniably one of the most fun rides you'll ever have in gaming, and one of the most compelling cast of characters to go along with it.

Mario Kart Wii is the penultimate multiplayer experience on the Wii, and a must-own title for anyone serious about gaming.

TWEWY is definitely the current reason to own a DS right now, and you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you choose to not check it out.

Pick this one up while you can still find it, even if you've already played the hell out of Persona 3. Absolutely worth the time, and it'll hold your attention for the entire ride.

Nevertheless, Target Terror is here and if you buy it, the Terrorist have already won.

In the case of NBA Ballers: The Chosen One, not only is concept stale, but some of the new features hurt the game more than help push it to the next level.

Give it a rental if you're thinking about picking it up, and try to play together with someone else to see what you really think about this one.

Bottom line for Pokemon fans is: try before you buy. You'll either love it or hate it.

Pick it up if you're looking for a short time waster, just don't expect too much out of it.

While it sure isn't a AAA game, it's hard to fault Dark Sector for anything past the seriously broken melee attack.

All together, Obscure: The Aftermath is a pretty bland survival horror experience.

There is a new 55 mission storyline that is exclusive to the game and gives Naruto fans a whole new reason to make this a must have title.

Everything is fluid, and the framerate is incredibly solid considering the amount of enemies that can appear on screen at once, and also considering the massive size of each boss you'll encounter.

Not only is Crisis Core one of the best looking PSP games on the market today, but it also marks the best spin-off Final Fantasy title that has come out of Square's big Final Fantasy VII Compilation effort, easily blowing away such dredge as "Dirge of Cerberus."

Condemned 2 does succeed at what it what it intends to do, which is providing a truly horrifying experience for a player unlike the majority of "survival-horror" titles on the market. However, a bit of that "new" sheen has worn off the second time around, and while improvements have definitely been made, there's still more areas that need a bit of work.
