With airtight controls, improved defensive and offensive AI, more animations, a deep and rewarding franchise that allows you to actually own a team this season, John Madden football looks to big in a great position to continue their reign as the undisputed champs of video football.

Like a full-priced "Serious Sam" title. It's fine if you want to jump right into an action-packed mashing session. Just don't expect it to keep your interest past 30 minutes.

While it has some nice changes, I found myself growing bored with it quicker than I did with the original. I do believe this would have not been the case if the game were primarily the adventure tracks.

It's very short, not too difficult, and feels like a watered down expansion pack to Hassle in the Castle than a true follow up.

A fast and fun game that does everything that hasn't been done before. The game is totally fresh and unique.

The effort in style and ideas are evident, but working on the same engine, and just building on it just doesn’t do the series justice. Give the game a face-lift please.

One of the most amazing aspects of this game is how the world responds to your actions. It is very open ended, and the decisions that you make during the course of your adventures directly affect the outcome of the entire game... One of the greatest RPGs that I have played thus far.

The real reason to pick up this version over last year's are the presentation upgrades.

This game is for the hardcore fans, and they are the ones who will enjoy what K1 offers the most. It’s very real, very authentic.

The gameplay, graphics, flexibility of options and entertainment factor make this the best volleyball game to date, hands down.

This game comes in a very…and I mean a very close second to "Outlaw Volleyball" in terms of great game play and lasting appeal.

Pirates controls very well in first person mode, but while in 3rd person that pesky camera gets on your last nerve.

A good, just not great game. If you want more diversity and ability to choose the length of your evil doings, you may want to give Port Royale a spin instead.

The best racing game I’ve played in months, and anyone looking to release a title in this genre now should look long and hard at what Rockstar’s been able to pull off here.

This game certainly isn't breaking any new ground, neither have the past few that came before it.

It's not that Road Rage is terrible, as much as it is unintuitive and frustrating. You can see the potential for something better, but it just never comes into being.

The lasting appeal is weak with the lack of a user's bike and persona. You are stuck with the riders they feed you. No career modes no create a bike; no create a track, no Xbox live play, and no real options other than the norm.

Thankfully it all boils down to a great, hour eating, and life sucking game that you won’t put down for some time. If you love to draw, Magic Pengel shouldn’t be missed.

A tremendous translation of the home console versions.

The genre has moved on. I hope that the next entry in this series can catch up.

Star Trek fan or no, there is plenty of fun to be had in this shooter that takes a tired concept and makes it a joy from beginning to end.

I can't think of a single positive thing to say about Buffy. It's boring, unoriginal, ugly, takes only an hour or so to finish, and falls far short of the mark. Even if you're a hardcore Buffy fan, I wouldn't recommend this sorry excuse for a game to you.

If there had been more secrets, perhaps some power-ups like the Mario games, and more variety to the action the game would have scored much higher. As it is, Wario World delivers on the action, but falls short when it comes to actual substance.

This game certainly isn't breaking any new ground, neither have the past few that came before it.

Everything else gets repetitive pretty quickly, which has to be expected from a game based on redneck jokes. In small doses, that's great. I support mean-spirited humor on almost every level. But because the game's two focuses, driving and trading, are so shallow the humor is the only entertainment left.

A very solid title with small flaws that keep it from taking the crown from the current king of portable racing.
