If you've already got a version of Pac-Man on any of the dozens of collections its already appeared in you probably don't need this one. But if not, and you've got five bucks to spare, you really can't go wrong with Pac-Man.

In general Ys: The Ark of Napishtim is a competent game that isn't really flawed technologically aside from the loading issues, and is better than other US-released role players, but the game isn't exactly brimming with excitement thanks to a cliché story and ultimately repetitive hack and slash action.

Sadly, Brain Age 2 doesn't do much of anything to differentiate itself from its predecessor to reverse this trend.

I just can’t imagine how a youngster without all of my adult patience would feel playing this game thinking it’s the one to get while waiting for a Mario title. Make no mistake: this is not Super Mario Galaxy; it’s more like Wii’s Lair.

Despite the rough edges, the price alone makes Sneak King worth checking out, particularly for the younger audience.

The new missions are nice but the lack of major gameplay changes or new PCs is a drag.

Honestly, anyone interested spending over $40 on a game like this would be better off with Super Monkey Ball.

Mercury can be quite fun and quite challenging, though ultimately short, but sometimes sweet. The project feels somewhat incomplete.

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.

There are lots of save points but they can sometimes blend into the background making them hard to notice. The jumping around can get tedious and I found myself sometimes at a loss as to which parts of the background were interactive and which weren’t.

Just another squad-based shooter that will really only serve to pad the lower-middle ranks of the Xbox game library.

Far from being an impeccably, unbroken, master of its craft. Barring that discrimination though, the busily scopic alternatives in the field to thrive past demanding circular sales makes up for some of the faults in this intriguingly orgasmic Playboy experience.

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.

It's fun in spurts and, as I said, the only game in town for shooter fans on the DS.

Simply put, the 360 pad was not designed to handle the tight turns taken by Ms. Pac-Man. It's very easy to zig when you want to zag and barrel straight into a ghost. The analog stick doesn't work much better.

Folks looking to this game to fill in the gaps before Dragon Ball Z will have a better time just spending their money on one of the DVD sets (preferably uncut, if you're 18 or over).

If this game interests you at all, let me make a recommendation – buy Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 instead.

An experiment in crafting a new style of extreme racing game that ultimately fell flat on its face.

Gang Battle, the pub mini-games and, to a lesser extent, free-roaming mode make this title fun for a bit, just not enough to justify a copy at full price.

It’s twice as beautiful as the PS2 version and twice as long with twice as many characters, too. Sadly, its near-perfect presentation tanks because of awful camera angles and poor controller mechanics, both choppy and unsuitable for an action game like this.

RA suffers from a boring "bad vs. bad" storyline, the game play is more annoying then anything else, and the graphics still look like they are stuck in the 90's.

It picks out a crew of three playable X-Men no right-minded comic book geek would pair, and slaps together a fairly mediocre combat system without a good deal of balance.

Dragon Song doesn't completely suck. It has flaws. It has numerous crushing issues. It's an RPG you shouldn't probably be even wasting your time on if you care for RPGs at all.

Managing your own nudie magazine isn't for everyone (for God's sake you better keep this away from your girlfriend or wife... unless they are very liberal, heh heh) but you may be surprised at how playable and interesting it is to be just like Hef.

The concept of team battling is presented in a very entertaining, addictive way, and the ultimate cross between strategy, RPG, fighting...and of course racing games is enough to make someone's mind explode. But it's all ruined by unpolished, at times horrible control, nearly rendering the game unplayable in spots.

Overall, Fuzion Frenzy 2 manages to bring back some good memories, but fails to improve upon the original in many ways.

Plays an average game of pool while also offering some variable game modes and functional online play.

Tries to place its players into a real-life war when the experience is less about the true occurrences of the way the war was and more about a game that, even as a game, ShellShock isn't that terribly amazing.
