    I just want to take the time to request that everyone take notice of Conquest mode. It’s really a shot in the arm for sports games and should really be present in every other title in the genre.

    The Orange Box is packed with enough content to keep gamers satisfied for a long time. In addition to the original masterpiece of Half-Life 2, the continuation of the saga with Episode 2 and Portal provide more fun than we’ve seen in years.

    If you are a fan of fighting games, then you’ll definitely want to consider picking it up, as it’s one of the best fighting games on the DS.

    The game isn't very good as an overall package, although the budget price might make it worthwhile for pinball enthusiasts looking for a couple of new tables to play.

    The combat is engaging and unique, and the storyline is compelling enough to keep you coming back for the duration.

    If you really want to run a park and be that altruistic owner that wanders amongst the crowds to know about every detail then you might have a bit of gold in here.

    It is commendable in a way since you know right from the outset that this is a game where you can just play. It is a lot of silly, good natured fun that, while not long in duration, provides a good time.

    The game is pleasing to the eye, has a play style that encourages teamwork, and has a nice variety of characters.

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

    Levels are incredibly linear.

    Being able to jump into the game, and back out, without losing any progress or exit to the main menu makes this especially family friendly.

    This is definitely an action oriented title which also happens to feature a sizeable amount of platform hopping. If you can get past the hiccups and slight annoyances, you’ll find a game that is fun to play.

    The 2005 and 2006 titles had their fair share of little hiccups, but this title irons out nearly all of them. From top to bottom, World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets is a solid Poker title – bring your chips – they’ll look good in my stack.

    Clearly Bungie's efforts were focused on the multiplayer facets of this game; and that alone makes it worth owning.

    The game has some interface issues, unsatisfying military options, and an overall lack of variety in the cities you build. As impressive as the cities look, they all start to feel the same after a while.

    This game is not fun, and should be played by no one on this planet. Period.

    If you want to learn how to play correctly being dipping your toes into betting Poker games, this would be an excellent tool to learn, and a way to not lose money through playing with a bunch of buddies for real money.

    With the graphics, the online play, and the engrossing singleplayer campaign, this game is definitely worth your gaming dollar.

    A good port of a great PSP game.

    SingStar Amped! continues in the same vein as the previous titles, good and bad. Whle the game doesn’t make any huge improvements other than the soundtrack, it also doesn’t make any new mistakes.

    If you are curious about the card game and don’t mind the cartoon character interactions, then the excellent tutorial should provide a good explanation of the basics.

    The boss battles and incredible cutscenes are compelling enough to keep you going, but the tedious fodder battles and inconsistencies stop the game from living up to its maximum potential.

    If you can adjust to the ProStick controls, you’ll find a control system that really makes you feel like a part of the game.

    Stranglehold is a fun time for action gamers but the major problem is it's over way too quickly and there aren't many compelling reasons to come back to it. I liked it but I wish there were more to it.

    Unfortunately, once you land on the ground after your airdrop, Airborne feels just like any other WWII game that you have played before.

    Being able to see more of the battlefield due to the widescreen form factor of the PSP is nice for aiming.

    Were THQ holding a bazooka next to your head demanding that you play Worms: Open Warfare 2 or they just might pull the trigger, then it might be worth turning on.

    Lair has some serious problems with the controls, but the fact of the matter is that it isn’t irreparable.

    It definitely give PS3 owners something to tide them over until some of the bigger titles hit later this year and next year. I look forward to coming home from work and playing for 30 to 40 minutes and getting new ribbon or badge.

    The problem here is that there really isn't anything to justify spending the money on this game, especially compared to both Tiger Woods 07 and even Tiger Woods 06.
