    There’s just not a lot to this game. An incredibly short playthrough and lack of any stimulating thought don’t make it really worthy for purchase, even for a budget title.

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

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

    Overall, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is a fun game. Parents looking for a good clean game for the kids to enjoy should look no further.

    As far as SvR 2008 is concerned, it makes for a decent rental but either of the previous entries of the series can just as well satisfy your wrestling fix.

    Nothing has been improved in the six years since PSO. Worse still, PSU actually managed to take steps backwards (level design, story, online play, mission counters, equipment, mags, etc) and ruin the memory of the Phantasy Star legacy.

    The AoF Anthology had its fans and the same holds true for the FFBA. Anyone who is looking to play one of the more recognizable 2D fighting franchises could do a lot worse than this.

    Whether you crave adventure in itself or seek a twist on the genre, The Experiment just about fits the bill.

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

    If you're a gamer who finds that modern FPS are too easy and want a challenge pick up Serious Sam HD. Mixing challenging encounters with interesting boss fights you really can't go wrong.

    Despite its few shortfalls, the main issue standing in the way of recommending this title to our readers is the instability factor.

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

    The gameplay isn’t terribly challenging, but the mystery portion can sometimes be a brain scratcher.

    Despite numerous faults, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is a decent sequel to a fabulous game by Ubisoft.

    “Mario and Sonic at the Olympics” turned too quickly into “Player versus Mario and Sonic Olympics”, and the result is an unhappy gamer with a set of sore arms.

    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.

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

    While Fantasy Wars may not set any new records or break the gameplay barrier, it is a solid turn-based war game with an addictive twist.

    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.

    Regardless, the game is still pretty good, except for the inability to distinguish easily between units and the steep learning curve, and so for those who enjoy strategy games, it’s a solid title overall.

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

    MvA doesn’t do anything wrong per se, it’s just not the game that’s going to bring new fans over to the sport of motocross.

    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.

    If you are into shooters, then there are definitely better titles than this one. Operation Flashpoint: Red River suffers from slow pacing and too much time not even taking part in firefights. It deals more with having you playing Nurse Nightingale healing yourself and your team than a death-dealing marine. If that sounds like your idea of a good time, then go nuts.

    In general, Transformers for the DS is decent considering the scope of which the developers had to work, but still falls short in a few areas.

    It works. And you can kill some stuff. But that's about the only positive things I can say about it.

    A basic city building game is joined with simple combat, trading, and research. CivCity Rome is very plain and not very fun to play.

    Like the protagonist Kane, it’s decent but has too many flaws for comfort.

    Full Auto 2 improves on its predecessor, although not in an extreme way. The sheer destructiveness will make anyone feel truly bad to the bone.
