For Bond fans, the complicated controls, lack of an original story, and mediocre graphics may cool the ardor for owning any and all Bond-related products.

Fallout 3 is an experience in itself, and while it may not offer as much replay value as Oblivion, it’s so much more then an “Oblivion with guns”.

I have found little to critique about in this review and with good cause since SIBOS is really a fantastic game, a great video game rendition of a board game and even better rendition of trivia than the original SI games provide.

I would not recommend Tornado at all. It’s a decent concept (one we’ve seen before) but is executed in an extremely frustrating manner.

While the story of Fable 2 is the weakest link in the game, the buffet of available extra features is sure to keep you salivating for quite some time.

So long as you only play the game in small bursts, Far Cry 2 is an interesting experience.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 is not a completely bad game, nor is it a broken game. It’s just a game that has no real depth to it anymore.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a great game. While the combat is pretty repetitive, it is not boring thanks to the two suits and the seamless transition between them.

While Web of Shadows is not the perfect Spider-Man game, it’s certainly a quality offering and is heads and shoulders above the previous Spider-Man DS title.

The gameplay could use a tune-up, and more of a plot would’ve been appreciated, but fans of the Midnight Club series, and street racing in general, will not be disappointed.

If it weren’t for the online multiplayer and map editor modes, there wouldn’t be much to say about Age of Booty. But this game wasn’t designed to be played as a single player game so a lot can be forgiven.

Simply put, X3: Terran Conflict is one of the most in-depth space-sims released yet, and if you’ve got a hankering for the genre, you can’t get much better than this.

The only reason to put any effort into the game at all is to set up a team for a multiplayer or Wi-Fi battle.

Once again, from every angle, Saints Row 2 is golden (shiny like the box). You’ll drive around and conquer Stilwater for many hours to come.

Dead Space is a scary, intense, engrossing, and invigorating adventure into the heart of deep space.

Dead Space is a scary, intense, engrossing, and invigorating adventure into the heart of deep space.

It’s easy to play and it’s challenging but with bland visuals, unimaginative design and a truly flawed multiplayer mode, the cons outweigh the pros.

In the end, it turns out a lot like space: majestic and somber, but even emptier than air.

Everlight of Magic and Power is a pretty good point-and-click that just so happens to still be burdened by the limitations of the genre.

Valhalla Knights 2 does nothing with the power of the PSP and is a rather bad game to boot.

All this said Mega Man 9 has a lot going for it. It isn’t terrifically expensive but you can have hours of fun with it, trying to master the stages and the Robot Masters.

A thinking man’s shooter, it just might rejuvenate your interest in the World War II genre. At worst, it will give you a good story and gameplay, not to mention a hefty challenge along the way.

In the end, Lego Batman is just a crappier version of Lego Star Wars or Lego Indiana Jones but with a guy in a cape.

It wasn't a bad game, just too much too soon. I hope that Lucasarts and Travellers Tales learn their lesson from this mistake and wait a while for the next LEGO release.

The harsh difficulty level and simulated driving makes for a frustrating experience if you’re not in it for the long haul.

While there are gamers of all varieties seeking groundbreaking games in their appropriate niches, everyone and anyone is sure to enjoy an experience that is so innovative and downright fun.

Overall, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a pretty good game. If you are a Star Wars fan, you owe it to yourself to add this to your collection.

Overall, while the connect-the-dots mechanic in this game is decent enough, I’m not really sure if it warrants an entire game based around it.

While Crysis: Warhead doesn’t really bring anything new to the series gameplay-wise, the expanded-upon storyline and better pacing of the game will intrigue any that enjoyed the original Crysis.

Mount & Blade is fun to play. It’s not good to look at.

Armored Core: For Answer has it hits and misses.

Armored Core: For Answer has it hits and misses.

Overall, however, it comes together as a good post-apocalyptic first-person shooter.

Despite the things RocketBowl gets right, most players are more likely to pick up on this thread of general lack of ambition over anything else.

There are other, better, games out there to play now and unless you’re that obsessed reliving the once great games of the past there’s no reason to look back.

Overall, NHL 2K9 is a respectable first effort with on the Wii. Still, the subtraction of key features from other titles and atrocious graphical presentation hold it back from any sort of rookie-of-the-year consideration.

Infinite Undiscovery is a flawed, frustrating but still strong game experience.

Vampire Rain: Altered Species is truly a terrible game, offering horrendous gameplay, atrocious AI, and an overall unpleasant experience.

A decent game for all ages, Defendin’ de Penguin is something anyone can pick up and play. All in all, it’s certainly a fun and enjoyable title to lose a couple hours in.

Penumbra: Requiem, as a game, doesn’t know what it is.

Overall, this is a fun, Mario “party” game that is a good addition to the Mario sports collection.

Despite falling short, Too Human ends in a way that suggests there will be future games made, which will thus permit the developers to take what they got wrong and make it right.

It's still worthy of purchase to those that haven't played the original, but to any who have, just play the original for the same experience.

Order Up! Is a perfect example of a budget title done right.

Immortals is not a game that I would choose to play in order to relax or pass the time in the airport.

Honestly if this game were taken back and reworked into a cartoon then I’m sure it would be plenty of fun for kids and adults alike due to all the double entendres but as it stands it’s an amusing cartoon interrupted by bland game segments.

There is a game buried beneath all of the menus and statistics, but only the truly patient and dedicated will have the time or will to find it.

It’s hard to say that Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is a bad game, it really isn’t. However it is most definitely not worth the full price that is being charged for it when it could be played to satisfaction as a weekend rental for all but the biggest completionists.

Commando 3 is a great addition to your gaming library if you're aware of its merits and its faults before purchasing it. Dying isn't just something that happens every so often in this game, it's a way of life.

The key aspect of The Continuum that separates it from the common RPG (besides its Flash-based construct, of course) is the environment in which your characters battle.

Griping over old issues aside this is a great package for any PS3 owners to pick up if you’ve never played Overlord in any form before.

On Tour is sort of a mixed bag. On one hand, hey, portable Guitar Hero. But does it really need to be portable at all? The peripheral comes with a bevy of problems that can affect gameplay and enjoyment, and that’s the center of the entire gaming experience.

Crazy Machines 2 as a whole delivers a certainly interesting experience.

Avoid this game like you would that girl in the eight grade who used to pick her nose and munch on the contents.

So go outside, read a book or just pick your nose for a couple of hours. Wacky Races: Crash & Dash isn’t worth it.

Unless you're a serious fan of boxing games seeking a fix while you wait for the next Fight Night game you may want to pass on this one.

Soul Bubbles is a welcome addition to the DS. It’s fun, it’s challenging and most of all, it’s worth your time.

Fans of DBZ won’t be disappointed with Burst Limit but for the rest of us out there, this game can be recommended as a fine rental but nothing more.

All in all, Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor is a pleasing rhythm game that honors the legacy of its classic characters.

Most puzzle games wish they could bring out that “just one more stage” mentality in its players and fail. This is something that Roogoo succeeds in and does so quite heavily.

When buying the Bourne Conspiracy you have to be aware of what you’re dealing with. If you’re like myself and are expecting a huge game of awesome hand-to-hand combat you will be disappointed.

Whether or not NG II reflects a purchase for you really depends on two things. Are you a fan of the previous games in the series and are you sadistic enough to put yourself through one of the most challenging games of this console generation?

It essentially boils down to this: If you're a racing fan, arcade or simulation, you owe it to yourself to give GRID a try.

The only thing that is better than a good game, is a game that everyone expects will be bad, and turns out to be pretty good after all. Kung Fu Panda is such a game, which offers a fun, easy going experience coupled with some action, some platforming, and even a few role-playing elements.

The frustratingly slow pace makes things feel even more dull, and over all it just feels like the game doesn’t deliver as well as it should have.

Despite the fact that Dracula: Origin is rather short, Frogwares has achieved the apex of what designing intelligent and entertaining puzzle/adventure games is all about, thus making Origin’s twenty-dollar price tag seem unfit.

Despite some early promise and hype, Haze has a lot of trouble living up to those high expectations set forth by its developers’ past triumphs.

The Nintendo DS has other logic games in its repertoire that are more exciting, stimulating, and feel more like a complete package.

All in all, Great War Nations: The Spartans is just such a generic game that it’s hard to recommend at all.

GTA IV is the kind of title every gamer must have in their collection to justify their title as said gamer. It's near perfection in all areas, and in all honesty, I won't be reaching for my copy of GTA III anymore whenever I need my fix.

In the end, I'd have to give Nintendo a big pat on the back for this one.

There are better rhythm games out there, and without any real meat to it, Battle of the Bands feels like it has lost this one.

When you want to ‘civilize’ some barbarians with the blade of an empire, Europa Universalis: Rome is the game to play.

If you're expecting a good Rainbow Six game, you're just going to be disappointed.

Teenage Zombies is full of great ideas and concepts, all wrapped together in a charming and funny package. Unfortunately, the slow-paced gameplay, short length, and terribly linear design conspire to undermine the positive elements.

At the end of the day, Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis is impressive in its own right, but doesn’t set any groundbreaking standards.

For just 800 Microsoft points you get what is possibly one of the best games released on the Xbox Live Arcade and the single best top-down shoot 'em up of all time.
