    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.

    Until you’ve decided and played your hand, the Pokibot is extremely slow. If you’re used to Internet Hold’em play, this game seems quite boring.

    Fan boys of the original will surely be picking it up, but overall it’s a frustrating experience, and probably not for those new to the Street Fighter series or to retro fighting in general.

    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.

    While Viking isn't a total disappointment, the biggest problem here is a matter of the game feeling wholly and entirely unfinished.

    So, the game does deliver its promise – upgrading a classic sports game while keeping the original gameplay intact – but it does it in such a way that introduces new problems and irritations.

    Overall the game is decent and fairly enjoyable, but considering how it doesn't really take advantage of what the system is capable of, it isn't much of a good game to have released alongside the new Kinect hardware.

    Nobody is going to be converted to this game series by this entry, it doesn’t offer anything phenomenal to gamers.

    The glitches and poor level design don’t quite ruin a game that should have been so much more than the sum of its parts. Still, there’s some fun to be had here with a weekend rental.

    While it is impressive how much of the gameplay nuances of the home versions have made it into this handheld cartridge, there simply isn’t enough gameplay to keep you interested for very long.

    The classic Hans Christian Anderson story is a nice setting, but its use here leaves a lot to be desired.

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

    The security features and high-resolution photo abilities are a nice plus, but they do little to hide the fact that OpSpy is a very mediocre game. Only the most hardcore EyeToy fans need apply to this Spy mission.

    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.

    NHL 2K8 should be sent back to the minors for some retooling. Gameplay is king, and 2K8 plays fourth-line checker to the competition’s first line superstar.

    However all of these facets don’t change the fact that Lux-Pain is nearly impossible to recommend. While it succeeds rather surprisingly on almost every technical level it’s still a hard sell due to the translation.

    The killing part is fun when you find the special X-Men powers amusing, but that river runs dry approximately an hour into the game, which is actually a decent ratio when compared to the total playtime of about six hours.

    However, it hasn’t been patched yet, six months after its release, so it’s unlikely it ever will be. Sadly, this game is thus doomed to end up in the bargain bin.

    The graphics and environment are beautiful, and the open-ended gameplay with RPG-like elements work great, but they cannot recover from the other shortcomings.

    The problem with Rocky Balboa is that it just doesn't have enough depth to satisfy any real boxing urges.

    There are a few good points to the game, but in general it’s a very unremarkable experience. There are no areas of the game that are particularly bad, but then, there aren’t any that stand out.

    Poor interface and bad pacing. The story isn't terribly great either.

    Unless you're a soccer hooligan who already owns the better soccer games on the PSP, you really shouldn't bother with World Tour Soccer 06.
