While Touch the Dead is fun for a short while, it quickly becomes frustrating due to the cumbersome reloading controls and the designer’s cheap attempts to make the game more difficult.

You'll probably find a couple hours of fun in WarPath but overall, it's really only worth a rental when there are so many other superior shooters out there at the same (or even cheaper) price.

It's an average beat 'em up that I'm sure fans of the movie will enjoy for a weekend rental.

Though it has a lot of potential, Gretzky NHL 2005 falls short, especially in a genre that’s still competitive.

And its a sad day when the best part of your "game" is the CG and movie clips. They're getting closer, but a great Terminator game is still not here yet.

If aiming, shooting, and moving are often frustrating, the tactical game and its controls are where the fun is at in Brothers in Arms: D-Day, and where the designers should have focused their attention when transferring the game from PC to PSP.

Far more action than RPG, and along with a ridiculously linear path and almost no variety in gameplay, even lacking a decent story and highly dumbed-down mechanics, there's not a whole lot to recommend here unless you really, really love the genre and don't mind playing something that doesn't require as much micromanagement while waiting for some legitimate entries on PS3.

Advent Rising is too easy, too short and too buggy to justify spending your hard earned money on it.

MediEvil Resurrection nails a whole lot of things, but doesn't quite get a handle on its most important aspect – gameplay.

I don't think it's the idea that you put a swordsman against an army of outlaws in the Old Western period that doesn't work well for Samurai Western. Rather, it seems to be the presentation of it.

A textbook example of wasted potential.

What Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has going for it besides the coveted movie license is a fair amount of missions, the ability to play as both Autobots and Decepticons and the unexpected online multiplayer, which isn’t always a given in movie-games.

The crap-to-gold ratio is much too high and the fact that MKII, MK3, NARC, Gauntlet II and Rampage World Tour are still so damn playable after all these years is the only thing keeping it from the dustbin.

While the plotline is moronic, there's still a little fun to be had from James Bond 007: Blood Stone. I wouldn't recommend buying it, but shooter fans may find a little fun in a weekend rental.

The addictive gameplay hasn't aged, but the graphics and the almost non-existent sound effects certainly seem dated.

You'll play Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll in spurts, because it's fun for a while. But the game's control problems will eventually cause the charm to wear off. And then the lid will be nailed back on the barrel and the monkeys won't come out to play again.

The concept is more fascinating than the execution. Maybe I’m too used to killing Metroids, but to me this game was just boring.

NBA 06 is a tale of features over gameplay – and that's kinda sad seeing how skimpy the feature set is.

At its heart the gameplay is functional, but the speed is actually too fast for its own good and the players thus can't be controlled well which leads to the hassles of controlling the puck.

What Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has going for it besides the coveted movie license is a fair amount of missions, the ability to play as both Autobots and Decepticons and the unexpected online multiplayer, which isn’t always a given in movie-games.

This series shows promise, but currently lacks what it takes to be in the next echelon of its genre.

I’ll say it again, Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is for the fans and even they may find this game unappealing.

Not all of them are hits; however, there are a couple of gems that deserve being rediscovered.

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.

As for the gameplay itself, Worms: A Space Oddity is neither ground-breaking nor a bore. It is simply a Worms title for the Wii; fun to play, best in multiplayer and always a good laugh.

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.

The new 3D effects are nice, the Xbox Live support is great for replay value and the great 2D-like gameplay is still here, but it's all been done before and it has been done better.

While Pokemon fanatics will eat this game up, many other players will grow bored within the first ten minutes.
