    Fans of the series will be both pleased and slightly disappointed at the same time with the second Castlevania game to hit the third dimension, but to the casual gamer, it will be nothing more than an average action title.

    There are too many glitches, the graphics are poor and the game just isn’t fun to play.

    Pick it up if you really love the Ninja Turtles, because although the game does have more merits than its console brethren, that’s not saying much.
    • 53 Metascore

    It’s a boring, repetitive, dull hack n’ slash game with bland visuals, unbalanced gameplay, and useless ninja scrolls.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is too shallow to make it a good tycoon game, and the puzzles, in the end, feel too much like homework to actually be fun.

    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.

    Heroes of the Pacific isn’t perfect but it’s close enough for government work and the result is the most enjoyable dogfight you’re likely to see.

    Even if gamers have grown tired of World War II, Call of Duty 2 features the largest battles and most detailed environments of any game to date, making it worth a look.

    I really only consider Ratchet: Deadlocked as a bonus game in the series, but it's a great bonus game with a heavy combat emphasis and the same style of televised humor that the franchise is known for.

    If twitchy, button mashing games that require some thinking skills are your cup of tea, Gunstar will certainly deliver.

    Lego Star Wars is a fun, adventurous one or two-player game for the whole family, and it features all the recent Star Wars lore and more active scenes for those who just love a good, old fashioned Star Wars fight. It's a quick trip, though, and the game is quite easy to play, even with the few difficult puzzles and racing/shooting sequences.

    I was stunned by how well made this game was. Stories certainly is a wonderful achievement for the PSP, but it does have a few drawbacks with the slowdown, camera issues, battery and a lack of online play, but you still can’t be that disappointed as this is the best game on the PSP.

    It’s a CD that adds about 20 endangered animals to your existing game of Zoo Tycoon 2, and that’s about it.

    Fans of the first two should pick it up for sure, and other RTS fans would be smart to do the same.

    Shadow of the Colossus is a spectacular game for the PlayStation 2 with splendid visuals, a great artistic atmosphere, a unique horse mechanic, and magnificent, towering colossi – but it’s limited by the power of an aging system.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It’s a pretty good title with impressive graphics, a lot of tracks and cars, a deep single-player adventure and full online support with many game modes.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The graphics and voiceacting for the game are very solid, but the long loading times and limited difficulty make the game nothing more than just your average fighter.

    There are just way too many issues at hand to recommend picking up this sequel until it hits the bargain bin.

    Disney did put together a solid product instead of coming out with a sloppy game to market with the movie, but they still didn’t quite close the deal.
    • 75 Metascore

    A refreshingly original game. It looks wonderful, and its blend of humor and addictive gameplay is very entertaining; it will certainly keep you amused from beginning to end.
    • 77 Metascore

    The new gameplay additions like the bert slide, nata spins, and the BMX bike really don't make the game any deeper than the other recent TH games. Add to that the short story and classic modes and some disappointing and over-hyped features and what you have is a Tony Hawk game that fails to live up to the expectations set by its predecessors.

    While the main game can take about 15 hours at most to beat, completing all of the additional side-quests may take you up to three times as long.

    The Warriors may be the best example of a movie being transferred to a game, ever. You can tell by the entire production including the audio, graphics, controls and gameplay that Rockstar cared about the film’s origins.

    Online play with vehicles, giant maps and customizable weapons are a blast that you won't get tired of any time soon, and the single player mode is a nice diversion especially with the addition of checkpoints.

    Despite the lack of multiplayer options, there are plenty of things to do in the single-player tour mode, and its steady progression in difficulty is wholly satisfying.

    The new lockdown stick makes defense in a basketball game fun again, and the return of the field general play calling easily make this feel like you’re playing a true college basketball game. Despite some of the horrid blemishes that make this feel like a somewhat incomplete game, NCAA March Madness is still a decent college basketball title.

    If you’re looking for a classic-style FPS with gorgeous visuals, Quake 4 is your cup of tea.

    • 53 Critic Score
    From the unbelievably dense traffic with the inescapable crash sequences, to the poser-fest plot and the explosion of brand placement, this game is a definite multiple-offender.
