The graphics were amazing, the gameplay was fun and adrenaline filled, and the cover system was implemented successfully.

The story may not be the greatest, but the gameplay is solid and for that alone you should check it out.

The game is not only bigger, but also better in almost every way. The graphics, the animation, the lighting, and the overall storyline cohesion – the whole package is vastly improved. There are some issues such as repeating voice work, more persistent framerate stuttering than the PC or 360 version, and a hyperactive camera while indoors, but the rest of the game more than makes up for these shortcomings.

Pokémon Conquest's replay value is through the roof. After the first campaign is completed many more stories that allow the player to control different warlords open up. These different stories have their own objectives that the player has to complete in order to win. After 33 of these stories are completed, a campaign similar to the first one becomes available. In addition to these, more stories can be downloaded from the Nintendo WFC. All of this, combined with online multiplayer, will leave one with hundreds of hours of Pokémon themed turn based strategy excitement to enjoy.

The game has a lot of atmosphere and more options than a typical fighter. However, some may be put off by the pace of the game the unknown format.

If you are a fan of the series then you absolutely have to play this. If you are a loot junkie, like I am, then you have to get this game, but if you are a hardcore RPGer looking for a challenge, you will be disappointed.

The relation between the actual battle in real time mode, and managing an empire in turn based mode, is pure bliss.

If you're looking for a definitive motorcycle racing sim, look no further.

For the people who have not played any of the games in the series up until this point, I would advise finding a copy of Armored Core 2 or 3 and play it first, as the difficulty in this one is not forgiving to anyone out of practice.

If you just enjoy good adventure games with a heavy dose of action, then be sure to give Shattered Dimensions a look.

For those of you that want a good game of hockey that you can play online and may have a little less simulation than "ESPN NHL Hockey," this game is for you.

If you just enjoy good adventure games with a heavy dose of action, then be sure to give Shattered Dimensions a look.

The good news is Rune Factory is long on farming, exploration, and relationships and short on the sillier aspects of the franchise. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the game is long, varied, and a great deal of addictive fun to play. Pick this one up especially if you have a long trip coming up.

GoldenEye 007 is a great step in the right direction for this long-neglected franchise.

Most of the time I dread reviewing 'kid titles', but this time I'll have to offer my hearty thanks to THQ and Blue Tongue for bringing us this sequel!

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 is a surprisingly good RPG that is deep enough for veterans of the genre and yet accessible for newcomers.

It's another great WiiWare game that will give you about 5-7 hours of playtime, and as long as you're a fan of Punch-Out or even like it in passing, you'll enjoy Rage of the Gladiator.

A great game. Because of the differences from previous iterations it may be a little disappointing to die hard Mario Kart purists. But for anyone who likes the series in general, the decision to get this game is a no-brainer.

The humor, story, and gameplay are all top notch.

If you enjoy games of the stealth/action variety, and are willing to make the adjustment to the controls, this is an excellent game.

If you like strategy at all and you need a game to get you through the long hot summer nights, get Dawn of Discovery.

The score is brought down a bit because of the timed nature of many missions. The car-based missions are especially tough because of the loose controls and the small amount of time you have to complete your mission.

Pay attention movie companies...THIS is how it is done.

So where do we stand with Singularity? It's not going to set the world on fire with new features as a great many are borrowed from other games. That said, they are handled with care and given a new coat of polish courtesy of the Time Manipulation Device.

Cloudberry Kingdom is a terrific gauntlet romp through classic gaming’s hallowed halls.

CivRev has been an extremely pleasant surprise. It’s not perfect, but it does a fantastic job of taking one of the most complex gaming franchises and boiling it down to the fundamental aspects that make it so much fun.

You will have to look at the list and see if it covered your favorites or if you don’t know enough of them to justify the $39.99 PS3 price point or $29.99 PS2 price point which does not include those last 5 tracks!

Put plainly, this is a very welcome distraction from all the running, jumping, and silly key and coin collecting that you can enjoy with your friends and family.
