While I found myself disappointed in the percieved lack of effort in Echoes of Time for the Wii, I'll say this much: When you're playing it multiplayer, you quickly forget all about the blocky graphics or the lack of extra content.

The DS version of Echoes of Time stands on its own pretty well as a single-player experience, but most people are interested in Crystal Chronicles games for the multiplayer.

That being said, the game is boring, lifeless, tedious, and a chore to slog through for veteran gamers.

I can only say that it was nice spending the half-dozen hours with my kids playing the game, and that my wrists really hurt from shaking the Wiimote around. There are some funny bits, but it's not as good as the movie.

This one feels like you could finish it in the theater before the movie ended.

Square took their time and delivered a solid port, giving the PC game several graphical and control options. It’s just too bad that the game they ported is such a mess in every other way.

If you like platformers or puzzle games, try Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure. You'll enjoy it.

Discovering what this game has in store for you is a lot of the fun, so allow me to conclude by saying that if you are a DS owner then Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars needs to be in your collection ASAP.

In the end, Valkyrie Profile series completists will probably enjoy it, but I'd tell most other people to steer clear.

Resident Evil 5 doesn’t revolutionize Resident Evil 4’s gameplay, but it does provide a solid and entertaining entry in the series.

If you can handle another round of not being able to move and fire/reload, there is a compelling game in Resident Evil 5.

In the end, Avalon Code is a unique game that is hamstrung by from some incredibly clunky interface and navigation issues.

The puzzles aren’t particularly difficult and there are no bosses to speak of, but Dokomodake has a certain charm and is so enjoyable that gamers will get their money and entertainment out of it.

If you have a child who is trying to get into video games or likes pets, it's a great buy. They'll have fun, they'll learn some basics about gaming and you won't have to feel embarassed to see it in their collection.

Just do yourself a favor, skip this game and go have fun with the real thing.

Plain and simple The King of Fighter 98' Ultimate Match is pure fan service.

Killzone 2 is a title that grabs hold of you with both hands at your throat and doesn’t let you go until the very end.

All things considered, Entrenchment is more of a “completion” of the original Sins of a Solar Empire rather than an expansion.

The bottom line is that I feel like I should be liking it a lot more than I am. I keep finding myself alternating between frustrated and bored - a combination I never thought I'd see from a Puzzle Quest game.

Blue Dragon Plus doesn’t correct the mistakes of its predecessor, and, in fact, creates some new ones.

Street Fighter IV is proof that you can take classic gameplay and update it for today’s game consoles and it will be hit.

In the meantime, go out and get Dragon Quest V, and enjoy one of the best "lost" RPGs of the Super Nintendo generation.

Flower is a mesmerizing game that truly feels unique, and showcases how Six-Axis control can bring the gamer closer to the experience.

FEAR2 is a game that is evolutionary and not revolutionary but also seems to take a step back in many departments. The ending leaves the player hanging, Alma doesn't really make as many appearances as in the first game, the dumbed down AI, and the lack of a multiplayer community might spell death for the game before it even starts to take off.

Simply put, if you own a PSP and do not buy this game, shame on you. You’ll be missing one of the best games of the year.

I hope that this isn't the last Deadly Creatures game we see. The concept is really great, and a lot of times, this game feels like it's laying the groundwork for a pretty cool franchise.

The game is repetitive. If you can get through that, then you might be able to fight your way throughout the entire game.

The graphics are average for the Wii, the sound is out of place, the sword fighting is Red Steel levels of bad and the fact that the bad guys will let their guard down when their buddies are lying dead at their feet all add up to a disappointing game. Hopefully Ubisoft goes back to the drawing board before releasing Tenchu 5.
