    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion pulls off a miracle – it's deep enough for the hardcore ES fan, but designed in a way that even the average player can get into it without too much intimidation, though it can be overwhelming at first until the basics are grasped.

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

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

    There are some interesting moves and the environment is well done. However, as a TMNT game it’s sorely lacking.

    If you were expecting a new Pilotwings for the Wii, you’re just going to have to wait.

    Come for the nostalgia, stay for the great online co-op.

    With all the attention directed to the next-gen systems, here comes a game that shows that the PS2 is still the baddest boy on the block and probably will be for a good while.

    Worms may lack all of the bells and whistles that purists have come to expect, but the core game (especially when played online) still holds up – and that counts for a lot.

    At the full asking price, NBA Street Homecourt is a rushed, shark-jumping next-gen cash in from the masters of such practices, EA Sports.

    It’s not as classic as "Takedown" or "Revenge," so it’s a step backwards, but still it’s an enjoyable racer that has it’s problems, but it can be as addictive as the series has been in the past.

    While the lack of online co-op and steep difficulty level will deter some players, it’s hard not to be captivated by the charming presentation, varied action, and enjoyable boss battles present in Alien Hominid HD.

    It won’t dethrone Tetris from the pinnacle of puzzle games, but every royal family needs a hyperactive little brother and Lumines Plus fills that roll nicely.

    Formula One Championship Edition’s high-definition graphics, intense sense of speed and ability to be appeal to rookie and veterans alike makes me happy that the franchise finally reappeared in North America.

    The very short length and ease of gameplay makes this a rental at best, which is a bit of a shame since a little more work and effort could have made this a truly fun and engaging game.

    Metal Slug Anthology is the ultimate collection of the seven most intense run-and-gun video games ever made.

    Virtua Fighter 5 may not go down as the most charismatic fighting game around, but it gets it done in the gameplay department, which is what matters most anyway.

    Overall the multiplayer experience is sort very vanilla. This is mostly because the games don’t feel very innovative and the formula itself has been done more than Paris Hilton by the Mario Party series and other Wii mini-game titles like WarioWare and Rayman Raving Rabbids.

    If you're looking for a serious story of epic proportions and melting the senses graphics and sounds, Izuna may not be your cup of tea, instead you might want to pick up Final Fantasy III. If you're looking for a solid dungeon crawler packing a challenge, Izuna is the ninja for you.

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

    I’d say overall Wii Play is worth it, if only for the extra controller. I now have three. If you know an easy way to get another nunchuck I’d love to know.

    Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure gets a lot of things right, even though it gets a lot of its cues from other adventure games, namely Zelda or Kingdom Hearts. On top of that, its more childish overtones may prevent older gamers from giving it a chance.

    This was the first time in a long time that I felt like I went on a real traditional RPG adventure.

    Rogue Galaxy fails to live up to its promise as a "Final Fantasy" killer. Sure it's one of the best-looking games to date on the PS2, nearly loading free, and has an awesome voice acting crew, but the story and repetitive battles can occasionally becoming trying at times.

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

    The storyline and characters are compelling in a way that many recent video games lack. Likewise, the puzzles, while on the easy side, were generally well crafted and require the player to use brains over brawn.

    A simplistic shooter that is charming precisely for its simplicity.

    Although the new areas are largely designed for levels 1-20, they provide a refreshing pace after going through the Alliance’s starting points about five times.

    In a nutshell, it’s a satisfactory entry into the Phoenix Wright series without much deviation from the original. And so I bring down the gavel.

    While the single player mode won’t last you a long time, challenging others to break your score is where the game’s bread-and-butter is at. Highly recommended.
    • 79 Metascore

    While the story itself doesn’t work that well in some areas because of moronic dialogue, confusing logic and characters you would rather strangle than help, the gameplay is unique and generally entertaining.
