    While the overall presentation may lack the visual punch of a next-generation title, there is no doubt that the innovation in the gameplay and control areas more than make up for it.

    The driving model takes a little getting used to, but once you do the variety of vehicles will keep you racing for a long time to come.

    Much like Katamari Damacy, the simple goals and controls pulled me in, and the high production values kept me playing.

    The combat system is different and requires more strategy compared to other RPGs.

    If you ever think about picking this game up, put it down and slap yourself for thinking such a thought. Run far, far away from Bomberman Act: Zero.

    This is a solid contender for RPG of the year (along with "Oblivion" and the unreleased "Final Fantasy XII"), and is easily the best SRPG to come along since Disgaea itself, if not Final Fantasy Tactics.

    Although there aren’t multiple endings, this game lasts for long enough on its own and creating a new character always adds something different to the game.

    The game looks and runs great, controls wonderfully and is a perfect example of gaming done right on the DS.

    While it’s a better game than it was last year for the 360, it really isn’t THE football video game that we hoped for.

    Madden '07 does make an effort at improvements at the running game but everything else seems to be a bit stale. From the graphics to the defense to the lack of Madden himself, it seems like EA is almost playing out the string.

    Good choice of rock music in the playlist.

    One of the best, if not THE best game for the PSP. If you own a PSP and are a fan of fighting games, picking this up is a no brainer.

    The main benefits are the intriguing single-player scenarios and the tweaks to make warfare a more feasible strategy.

    While there is an addictive quality to the game, the bugs and bizarre behavior of your citizens can sometimes pull the game into the realm of frustration instead of enjoyment.

    Everything is good, but could be better. The omission of features that are present in last gen systems is inexcusable.

    You need to be aware that this is not the high-speed game like Virtual-On, or Armored Core tends to be, but more of a giant robot chess match. If you are up for that sort of war, we’ll keep a spot open for you on the GT Goonsquad.

    If you are looking for something that you can play leisurely, then you might want to take a look at it. If you want something with a bit more depth, you would be better off looking elsewhere.

    Disney may have a massive hit in the theaters but they have one heck of a dud for the PS2. This almost recalls the fabled "ET" in terms of rushing something, ANYTHING, out the door to cash-in on a popular movie only with better voice work.

    Unfortunately, Over G Fighters doesn’t have the sense of speed, graphics, action, or mission structure to make you feel like you are flying the unfriendly skies.

    It’s surprising that none of the developers noticed the glaring issues in the game. This is really too bad as the multiplayer is actually a lot of fun and a bright spot in this otherwise piece of garbage.

    WTS has the chance to appeal to everyone and, for a handheld like the PSP, we could use more games like it.

    The fighting game is fairly solid with several elements that, while not completely unique to the fighting genre, mix together for a unique experience. It takes the source material and does it justice.

    A "Diablo" clone done right! With excellent balance, cooperative multiplayer, addictive loot gathering, and a great graphical presentation, it is easy to overlook the few flaws within the game.

    It made me interested in tracking down the movie to play, and gave me a good number of hours playing an enjoyable RPG.

    A chance to go out and have a taste of what it's really like in the world of NFL coaches today. It's a job, and a game that only a chosen few will really be able to embrace and get the most out of it.

    The mixture of RTS and action game doesn't really mesh well, the game runs really poorly, and the game includes Starforce. Unless you've got a really high end machine and want to play something somewhat different, stay far, far away from this title.

    Sometimes nostalgia can disappoint because of how childhood can blur how bad something really was. Gradius doesn’t disappoint.

    It adds an incredible amount to the original product, and improves every aspect of your movies.

    Games are for relaxation and fun – copy protection that impedes that and causes the user to spend time repairing their OS instead of enjoying their purchased product run counter to that.

    The story of the Half-Life universe is propulsive in its own right and the sheer zeal Valve has for this world and the characters in it is a joy to experience. Partnering with a truly responsive AI also has to be seen to be believed.
