    Metal Slug Anthology is another one of those Wii games that tries to get creative with the new controller but just falls flat on its face.

    Like the movies, the game is more style than substance, something that needs to be corrected for any future sequels.

    Entertaining because of its excellent presentation and over-the-top multiplayer hijinks. Additionally, the game benefits from a well-designed feature set that includes unique characters, bot support, drop-in and drop-out features for online play, and proper tutorials.

    For Star Wars fans, The Force Unleashed is required playing to continue your membership in the Star Wars geekdom.

    A fun game that could have been made a lot more enjoyable by adding a couple of checkpoints here and there.

    At $20, Raiden Fighters Aces is a good collection of three classic scrolling shooters and fans of the genre will find a lot to like at a low price.

    There’s something about “God Hand” that just feels unfinished to me. Whereas previous Clover Studio games were almost polished to a fault, this one seems too rough to be complete.

    Dante’s Inferno has taken a bit of flak from the gaming community for borrowing a lot (and I do mean a lot) of gameplay elements from God of War. But when it’s all said and done, Dante’s Inferno is a fun experience.

    Beautiful Katamari is a great game for fans, but not something that will interest those who didn't like the first three.

    With one disc that's got a nice plethora of new (new controls, new interface, new parts, etc.), and another disc that's got old made into new (not to mention those many unlockables to top that sweet cherry), you've really got one of the best and broadest Armored Core games on your hands that you could ever dream of.

    They look, sound and feel just like the originals.

    While the mechanics of the game are fun, and it all sounds exciting on paper, the overall experience is marred by clunky and unnecessary controls, and the fact that once you’ve played an hour of Excite Truck, you’ve seen just about all there is to see.

    It just goes to show that true classic games will always be fun, no matter what the next generation comes up with.

    With easier to see note icons and the new strumming mechanic, Guitar Hero is the definition of "you get what you pay for" in the music game app world.

    I was disappointed with this game. While I can see that the developers put a lot of time and effort into making one of the largest most comprehensive Dragon Ball games yet, the sheer complexity of the controls work counter-productive to their intentions.

    There are plenty of things to do like finding recipes, item creation, or fighting in the arena. The inclusion of the second story arc lengthens the game’s life quite a bit, allowing you to put in 50+ hours.

    This game defines what Nintendo meant when they first used the word 'new-gen.'

    It’s a little more technical than Budokai, but nowhere near as technical as the hype would lead you to believe.

    These factors, combined with a lack of special features, makes Dementium an undeserving purchase for all but the most die-hard survival horror fans.

    The Saboteur is one of those games that gains points due to its atmosphere and setting, making up for any shortcomings that might pop up due to the fact that the game is yet another open-world sandbox game, or if you want to be more cynical, Mercenaries 2 in a World War II skin (which it admittedly is, just way more polished).

    Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe is a solid fighter with good mechanics and a great story mode.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    While it’s hard for me to generally recommend this game to anyone, I know that old-school fans of the game and masochistic gamers who enjoy relying on dumb luck along with insane difficulty will enjoy the game.

    Medal of Honor is more than just a reboot of a storied franchise. It takes the FPS genre to a whole new level.

    I didn't expect to be blown away by WWE 12, but I also didn't expect to be so disappointed by the final game. While the virtually limitless possibilities of Universe 2.0 do give the game an incredible amount of replayability, the questionable AI and disappointing second version of Road to Wrestlemania leave much to be desired.

    It doesn’t feel quite as polished as Konami’s PS2 Contra titles, but the bosses are large and feature a similar robotic look that many of the Contra bosses are known for.

    If you're still a fan of music games, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is another good, solid entry into the series. However, while Neversoft is in a position of releasing serviceable titles every year, but don't seem capable of making real fundamental changes to how the game is played.

    This game plays somewhat differently – for the better – than the previous release, and the online mode is still good fun.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Sure the police AI can be highly questionable, the visuals are pretty blah as is the sound, but on the track, 5-1-0 is a good time on the go, and is a marked improvement from "Rivals."

    It's disappointing to see to see an imaginative world drowned out by the generic gameplay offered, but unfortunately that's exactly what you get with Mushroom Men: Spore Wars.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Features a staggering amount of features despite the shortcomings of the gameplay.
