    NBA 2K6 is, without question, the rookie of the year. It will be interesting to see how well this rookie will improve his game for next season.

    A great single player campaign combined with a near inexhaustible well of multiplayer madness, PDZ should be in the library of every shooter fan with a 360.

    The Warriors for PlayStation Portable captures the 1979 Walter Hill movie in a near-perfect port of its 2005 PS2 and Xbox counterparts.

    The new environmental hotspots and graphical polish help give Xbox 360 owners something worth checking out, even though this series has just about reached the end of its arc.

    A fun (if ultimately shallow) single player campaign is dwarfed by an incredible online component that takes everything you loved about the first game, adds some new twists, and turns the whole thing on its head.

    Although Trials and Tribulations doesn’t present anything new to the series, it helps to close out one of the greatest video game trilogies in recent memory.

    At last, I have come to terms with understanding what the heck was so great about being a Pokémon fan. With this knowledge and with this experience, I can officially say with a passion always and forever...I hate Pokémon.

    While the game may still have some areas to iron out in terms of a few gameplay quirks and missing features, it still is one of the only choices on the market, but thankfully, it's a strikingly good one.

    There's almost as much game in the $10 Rage of the Gladiator as there is in the $50 Punch-Out!! Students of Doc Louis would do well to plunk down 1000 Wii Points to take the fight to ancient Rome.

    Whether your time with it lasts a few hours, a whole week or a month, OutRun 2006 will not disappoint.

    This is, perhaps, the best videogame ever based upon a comic book. Combine that with the rich pallette of characters that are still untapped and it's no wonder that a sequel is already under way.

    Puzzle Quest 2 lives up to fans' high expectations and delivers a fun and lovingly addictive evolution of our favorite gem-matching RPG.

    It lacks the name brand value of EA Sports and the low price of "MLB 2K5," but MLB 2006 is a damn good baseball game and in many ways superior to the bigger named hardball games on PS2.

    If you own and still play the Nintendo 64 version, I still believe that it is worthwhile to pick up the GameCube version because of the updated graphics, new power shots, characters and courts.

    It may not be the flight simulator that many people may have been hoping for, but it doesn’t detract from being an enjoyable arcade shooter. Highly recommended.

    The developers did something rare in gaming today, they covered their bases and made sure to execute the most core aspects of the genre successfully.

    Online play is addictive and challenging despite its frustrating flaws and oversights, the realism of the game despite the cartoony look is great, and most importantly, the game is extremely fun.

    It keeps all the technicality of the original and spices things up with it’s handful of new features. It’s great to see portable fighting titles are nearly on par with their console brethren these days. It’s only too bad that the PSP just wasn’t designed with these sorts of games in mind.

    Newcomers to the series can feel comfortable starting with Double Agent, knowing that they're playing a game that's every bit as good as the first three, in spite of a few bugs along the way.

    Too often, an old game becomes an "extreme" game with the addition of pulsating light displays and techno music. But after the colorful, swirling backgrounds turn to black, Space Invaders Extreme is still just Space Invaders, a game that is over 30 years old.

    At the end of the day Dark Athena doesn't stand next to the original title. It lacks the innovation, and on top of that, the new campaign missed much of what made Escape from Butcher Bay so grand.

    Darwinia+ is one of the most unique looking games on XBLA and with Multiwinia, is one of the most fun.

    A great wrestling game still, but one that is falling into uninspired rehash territory very quickly.

    It might not be the same sort of revitalization that "Resident Evil" got last year, but make no mistake, this is a very good game with plenty of thrills, twists, turns, and thanks to some great stages and tons of personality, Legend doesn't just bring TR back, it will make you forget everything about those old, dusty PlayStation games as well.

    One of the best racing games the PSP has seen so far.

    Overall, Fable III isn't a bad game, but neither is it a step forward for the franchise. The nasty bugs, the sluggish and uninspired story, and lack of difficulty make it the least enjoyable of the series.

    Despite some of its flaws Star Wars: Battlefront delivers what it promises – massive Star Wars engagements that drop you right into the films.

    Dead Rising fans - you know who you are - are going to love this game. If you still bust out your copy of the 2006 original, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

    There’s certainly a lot to like with the online offerings of Virtua Tennis 3, but the core gameplay and single-player experience don’t quite hit the unique balance of arcade action and simulation trappings that was found in the first entry in the series.

    The features of Cloning Clyde are certainly good, and the gameplay works for a while, but a little more shape to the story and game experience would’ve really helped grab gamers for the long haul.
