The difficulty may turn off a lot of gamers, but if you have a bit of patience to spare or are a fan of puzzlers such like "Super Monkey Ball," the game can offer many hours of gameplay.

The story lacks depth, the same way the cartoon did, and when you have such a run-of-the-mill platform game you really need an engaging story.

Sports gaming is on the brink of a new age with the coming of new consoles, so here's hoping the 2k series continues to raise the bar by producing the best game on the market, as they have – again – with NHL 2k6.

What sets it apart from the rest, though, is the much more lighthearted and more adventurous feel it holds.

NHL 06 is as good as it gets in console hockey.

There's a lot of charm in it, not to mention the gobs of replay value that come from having two endings and over 175 recruitable characters. At the same time though, that charm does little to ease the blow of the unsatisfying conclusions, nor does it help much when you run into one of the few rough patches and, let's face it, there's only so many inane sidequests one can tolerate.

Rebelstar: Tactical Command's shortcomings are vastly outweighed by the ingenius design and fun gameplay.

If you consider yourself a series NASCAR fan, you must own NASCAR 06. This is the game you have been waiting for and offers more game play options than you can handle. Casual racing fans may be confused by the concept and might want to consider this a rental at best.

It really is hard to imagine how games this good keep getting better and better, but they apparently are finding ways.

Wrestling games past and present have suffered from the same basic flaw: lack of depth. We gamers are a sophisticated bunch when it comes to our melee. We can handle it. Imagine us not as stupid cavemen wielding funny looking colorful misshapen clubs (read: controllers).

This whole game just offends me. Offends me more as a gamer than anything else.

No bells, no whistles, just boring repetitive driving. So boring in fact that I actually nodded off twice while playing it one Sunday afternoon.

The essence of the Hulk – his chaotic power and affect on normal civilization – is captured perfectly.

Building up a powerful gang from nothing under the watchful eye of the man sounds like fun, but the process in Beat Down is shallow and tiresome.

Not only can you play for nostalgia bragging rights, but also NMBC offers a cool Co-Op mode where you can share the high score with a friend or loved one.

Pac'N Roll unfortunately isn't terribly long, but the chance to go back, improve on your scores and unlock a few goodies is still worth the purchase. This is an ideal title for any fan of puzzle games or just a fan of Pac-Man himself.
