Splinter Cell Essentials is nonessential for any Sam Fisher fan.

The impressive amount of characters to play with, along with the striking character graphics and animations, gives the game a good presentational value, and the exciting boss battles and interactive levels make this an entertaining game that is worthy of at least a rental.

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

Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends is an ok game, but I’m sick of the blatant milking of this cash cow.

It isn’t the next "Quake," or "Call of Duty," but UberSoldier does provide an entertaining ride while it lasts.

You’re probably going to be more hardcore and surprised at the light-heartedness offered in Broken Angel, but that by no means makes it a bad title.

Despite the fact that Konami’s series has a static playlist, you’re better off buying another version of DDR than dealing with this piece of crap called Dance Factory. Or better yet, just pop in a CD and groove your own way.

Racing is quite fun with its simple trick system, fast sense of speed, and the cool turbulence riding mechanics. However, the constant monitoring and replenishing of the air meter drags the game down quite a bit.

It does feature a nice variety of games, a solid career mode and online play, but struggles in the graphics, audio and artificial intelligence which take the title down.

An uninspiring platformer with unintuitive controls, bland gameplay, repetitive environments, and a missed target audience – kids aren’t going to have neither the skill nor the patience to play this game, if they even have the desire to.

The impressive amount of characters to play with, along with the striking character graphics and animations, gives the game a good presentational value, and the exciting boss battles and interactive levels make this an entertaining game that is worthy of at least a rental.

Rainbow Islands Revolution will only appeal to fans of the original game who are accepting of the new changes. Other than that, it really doesn’t offer anything new when it comes to touch-focused games because other games, like Kirby: Canvas Curse, does it better and with more polish.

What we’ve got here is a fair game that I wouldn’t recommend to anyone except for a mindless, young teenager that likes shooting games and puppies.

It’s a boring, repetitive, dull hack n’ slash game with bland visuals, unbalanced gameplay, and useless ninja scrolls.

Tedious and boring with very few games and they quickly get repetitive. Some of them hardly even utilize the camera.

The Da Vinci Code does keep intact a solid storyline of conspiracy and corruption, but the actual playable aspects of the game are pretty dull. You primarily find yourself sneaking around, fighting enemies and solving puzzles, but none of these aspects are done especially well. Overall there should be no question for gamers that The Da Vinci Code is one mystery that should be left unsolved.

The impressive amount of characters to play with, along with the striking character graphics and animations, gives the game a good presentational value, and the exciting boss battles and interactive levels make this an entertaining game that is worthy of at least a rental.

Takes an interesting concept and hammers it into the ground with a ridiculously high difficulty level and several issues and bugs which should have been resolved before the game shipped. Unless you are a die-hard fan of turn-based strategy, you should look elsewhere for your gaming fix.

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.

There is a nice variety of combat amongst Wolverine, Iceman and Nightcrawler and the voice acting by their movie counterparts is solid. Beyond that though, X-Men is disappointing in just about every other regard. The graphics are dull and lifeless, the enemies are predictable and the gameplay is brain-damagingly repetitive.

There's no reason to bother playing this game, period. It's cute, it's got an equally as cute presentation, and it's got five minigames that will quickly bore you, and nothing more.

Because those I-Ball controls are unresponsive and some certain broken mechanics like the anklebreaker meter, and a boring story mode, what And1 fans were given is a complete stinker.

I hate to say, but I really can't see anyone actually wanting to spend money to play this.

The game fails where it counts with bad mini-games, terrible instructions, slow controls and a pretty worthless multiplayer option.

Crusty Demons should be left collecting dust in a bargain bin near you.

Only if you’re a fan of the classic blue oval should you even consider plopping down cash for this budget title – emphasis on budget.

Lackluster story, flat characters, and a mere fifteen or so hours of gameplay really make this hard to recommend even to the most hardcore RPG players.

This game would be most ideal for children so young that they don't play games for their quality but for their content.

This is an extremely poor copy of Nintendogs. The visuals are nice, the music is easily ignored, and there is some worthwhile puppy variety (18 breeds isn't bad), but its boring gameplay is repetitive to the point where you just want to die.

The developers have taken some of the components that have made a lot of today’s games popular, mixed them together, thrown in a sexy thief, and blended it all together nicely.

An uninspiring platformer with unintuitive controls, bland gameplay, repetitive environments, and a missed target audience – kids aren't going to have neither the skill nor the patience to play this game, if they even have the desire to.

Despite a decent online offering, it’s not enough to save one sorry game. Avoid this game like the plague.

A train wreck.

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