Still, the nostalgia factor wears thin pretty quickly, and the tennis isn't deep enough to keep you playing this title longer than a couple of hours.

Though some games are more fun than others, they're all classics, and always worth revisiting.

While it doesn't embarrass itself or insult gamers, it's not going to be near the top of the list of must-have titles for youngsters this holiday season.

Ultimately, Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars is mostly a fan service to devotees of the series.

This one is strictly for the kids who aren't able to relish the true humor of SpongeBob, and who aren't quite adept enough to see how much of a rehash Atlantis SquarePantis on the Nintendo DS is.

I've been a sucker for the pulse-pounding excitement of the MotoGP race days for a few years now, and couldn't be happier with how MotoGP 07 turned out.

It's more visually appealing than anyone could expect, while the varied missions and weapons kept me on my toes throughout the short but satisfying campaign.

The Nintendo DS version of Marvel Trading Card Game is a clear example of a poor interface sullying an otherwise great experience.

Definitely not the worst choice for your PSP, but it’s sad to see the stalwart Sonic standing on such unsteady feet these days.

If you're willing to overlook the length and price issues though, then Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law becomes a fun extension of the series.

The greatest illusion accomplished by Time Crisis 4, aside from making the player feel masculine while controlling two of the most flamboyant leads in shooter history, is the transformation of your PlayStation 3 into a full-blown arcade machine.

Sega Bass Fishing is worth a few quarters in the arcade, no question, but just doesn't cut it over the long haul.

Even with its issues though, MX vs ATV: Untamed is a rollicking good time, incredibly well-suited for a portable platform.

As for me, my trip is over, and it's one game I'm never going to revisit.

Altair's Chronicles is a stale, uninventive rendition of the universe of our favorite wall-jumping assassin, Altair and should be avoided at all costs.

Eventually, even the card element wears a bit thin. For a title that has 20th Anniversary plastered over the front cover, Starforce isn't so much a celebration as it is a remembrance.

While the combat can be rough and punitive, and the graphics won't make you stand up and shout, its whole is greater than the sum of its parts. While by no means a perfect game, it offers a fun and decidedly different take that's unique to the PlayStation 3 platform.

Yet another black mark on Sega's formerly meaningful name, and easily one of the most disappointing Sonic games ever made.

While NIS is known for developing and publishing games with cutesy 2D art, Dragoneer's Aria sports rather bland 3D visuals.

Hot Pixel just isn't very good, despite a few decent ideas. It's a collection of mini-games of variable quality bound together by an obnoxious urban style, and throwing in some classic Atari touches isn't going to make it any more tolerable.

The goal of becoming a chef is quickly lost in the mundane nature of most of the missions.

Brain Assist is mildly entertaining, but I'm not feeling any more clever for having played it.

In the end, though, the biggest problem with Avatar, just as it was with its counterpart on the DS, is its almost criminally short length.

Overall, Empire Earth III just feels cheap. Poor visuals, poorly thought out design choices, a completely lack of originality.

If you can ignore the occasional glitches and poorly thought out menus, Two Worlds can be a fantastic single player experience. Just don't buy for Xbox Live...at least not yet.

The problem is that three bad games plus six ranging from barely adequate to decent plus a final "pretty good" one doesn't add up to anything worthwhile.

Food Frenzy has an interesting visual style based on the ending credit sequence of the movie, but that's not enough to spice up the repetitive nature of the gameplay.

Operation Darkness isn't going to keep the poetic part of your mind captivated, but the strategist in you could get addicted.
