Simply put, SimCity doesn’t seem to work well on the DS and makes you realize that a good idea can be implemented unsuccessfully.

Despite serving up a retread with one new mode and but adding a load of new characters, I still say itfs worth a buy from fans of the series that already have Ultimate Ninja in their libraries.

A surprisingly pleasant game if you’re into fast pick-up-and-play gameplay and are enticed by cute visuals, card collecting, and card battling. It’s a fairly quick adventure, though, and a bit too easy to maintain an adult’s interest when more complex, similar titles are available.

The game doesn’t feature spectacular crashes or a significant ability to modify your vehicles. Instead players are forced to perfect laps and drive very accurately meaning the title is either a hit or miss, there’s very little in between.

The game features plenty of content, solid audio and terrific AI. Without question the game does have some deficiencies in relation to its slightly awkward controls and graphics, but The Warriors is a terrific game no matter the console and it comes in at an affordable price making it a sure fire recommendation.

If you’re a war fan or love strategy titles, Battlestations Midway is definitely worth a spin. The only problem is that it’s more than likely going to be a hit only for hardcore gamers.

It's not an awful game, but it’s not exactly good either. Simply put, Mercury Meltdown Remix doesn’t feel comfortable on the PlayStation 2.

The problem though is that the game isn’t fresh anymore and it gets even worse when you consider the fact that there is no online play.

Not only does the campaign mode offer a solid 14 hours of gameplay, there’s a reward system that will ensure replay. And let's not forget about the unlimited replayability of two-player co-op and the various multi-player modes.

The game features terrific controls, graphics and plenty to do both online and off.

The game fails miserably in the gameplay, sound, modes, and enjoyment and for Sony to slap a $60 price tag on it is terrible.

Untold Legends sticks to its roots and doesn’t quite feel like it’s made the jump to the next-generation.

The only problem for Ridge Racer is the audio which is less than stellar, but in the end Ridge Racer 7 makes an impressive debut on the PlayStation 3 and is worth a look even if it is just to drool over.

One of the best basketball titles in recent memory.

The problem though is the framerate, graphics, and controls are miserable and certainly don’t show off any of the PlayStation 3’s capabilities.

The only thing I need to say about the graphics is that they're perfect. Character models, vehicles, environments, weather, it's all spectacular but not overwhelming to the point of distraction.

Although simplistic, the graphics are solid and impressive.

While Combined Assault may not be the leap forward we would like to see in the SOCOM series, it’s still a very solid title that’s worth checking out.

While not as earth-shattering as the original, no fan of rhythm games should be without Guitar Hero 2.

An awesome variety of modes, a huge roster, customization, and the entire Dragon Ball story tied up nicely in one package add up to a title that every DBZ fan ought to have.

It has a lot of what FF fans have come to expect – high quality presentation, a grand adventure, a likeable cast, and lots of fighting. But, it also has a lot changes to which not everyone may warm up – gambits, revamped battle system, and a different way of storytelling.

The good heavily outweighs the minute problems with the artificial intelligence and soundtrack. Despite these few complications, Fury 4 is still a very fun and enjoyable racer that is worth a spin.

Just about the only thing that is going for it is the online play, and even then $9.99 is a pretty steep price to pay for such an underwhelming experience. In the end, the game is a big disappointment due to its lackluster graphics, sound, and gameplay.

If you’re expecting a revival in the franchise, then be prepared for a massive disappointment.

It may offer more than the first one, which was a launch title, but it doesn’t offer that much more.

Age of Empires III: The War Chiefs hits its target pretty accurately – representing a healthy addition to what’s already there.

A train wreck.

The gameplay is miserable with sloppy combat and driving controls. Add to that the fact the missions are terribly short, dull and repetitive and Gangs doesn’t provide enough interesting opportunities.
