    Naruto Shippuden: Naruto vs. Sasuke is a good DS title for what it is worth. The story is quite short, but it does make up for its length with modes and extras to unlock. While the platforming and boss battles are fast-paced, fighting in the platforming stages could have been thought out more. Still, Naruto fans will enjoy the experience.

    Halo 2 is Vista only. It doesn’t offer any new features, gameplay, graphics, or audio. It took three years to arrive. But it is still Halo 2 and does rock to play with friends.

    This isn’t a game for the elite soccer fan, but rather those who would rather kick a ball around with some well designed motion controls. If this sounds like you, feel free to jump in with both feet. For the rest, FIFA 10 comes with a yellow warning card.

    Timeshift starts off with a bang, with impressive visuals and God-like powers at your fingertips. The bang, however, fails to last throughout the game, and you’ll constantly find it harder and harder to keep going.

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

    It’s a good shooter romp that could have been great.

    Downhill Jam will stay in my skate pack for some time to come, and all I can hope for now is that others start picking it up too.

    Wanted: Weapons of Fate doesn’t suffer from the “Bad movie-license game” curse. It is not that bad. But it suffers from being too short and not having enough after you beat it to keep on playing.

    Those buying this or looking into it due to its morphing/transforming angle will be disappointed since it really isn’t as big a focus as the box art makes it out to be.

    There’s not too much to the game besides the few modes, and though the character selection screen is certainly filled with choices, it’ll still be quite obvious that you’re playing in the same modes over and over again.

    Your typical survival horror, with sub-par gameplay but excellent style. Underneath, you’ll find a twisted story that takes some time to digest, one that doesn’t necessarily have a happy ending.

    It's still a solid puzzle game. So if you've got the points, and you're bored of "Bejewelled," check out Jewel Quest.

    However, considering how affordable the previous versions get when the new titles hit the shelves, you’re better off picking up one of those games and saving your money.

    In the end, if you like this kind of game, complete with turn-based fights and random encounters, then you'll have next to nothing to complain about, but for those who find this isn't their cup of tea, they'll be hard-pressed to find many things they like. Dragon Quest VI is already available in stores for the Nintendo DS.

    The fact that Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s has nothing more, and in some cases, less content than the previous titles, while still charging the same price, is the problem here.

    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.

    Big Willy Unleashed is an interesting title to play, but it lacks the longevity of other sandbox titles like it.

    Bodycount is viscerally fun. It plays fast and sounds great thanks to all the carnage you dish out. However, it isn't really deep. The story almost seemed like a second thought and AI makes most levels feel like just a shooting gallery. If you like your shooters shallow, it is at least worth a try.

    For casual gamers, the repetitive missions, complex gameplay mechanics and steep learning curve may leave many feeling bitter about a purchase.

    There’s potential here for something fantastic, it just wasn’t taken there, and that’s a flockin’ shame.

    When I played the game in front of a few friends, they were constantly screaming at me that I was getting surrounded by ants and yelling "constructive" advice in my direction. Any game that can elicit that sort of reaction from an inactive audience must be doing something right.

    G-Force isn't a horrible game, it's just not that fun.
