This game needed a tutorial to explain itself better. Not even the instruction manual provides ample information to arm you with the knowledge to play at a beginner level. You need to do a lot of trial and error runs to get caught up to speed on what works and what doesn't.

The multiplayer modes are enjoyable, but it's hard to get very excited about them with the 360 version of the game offers both online cooperative play as well as an offline mode.

Sure, the presentation is poor, and the lack of d-pad support is a real drag; but the individual games are just so enjoyable that I can't help but recommend the Metal Slug Anthology to any fan of the franchise or the run and gun shooter genre.

It's a fun beat-em up and a heck of a game. It has more hits than misses and is a definite rental for anyone looking to kill a weekend.

Mobilized feels like it is a victim of the developer's past successes. There isn't a whole lot that has changed over the previous year other than the updated time period and matching weaponry.

With its frenetic, action-packed gameplay that’s easy to pick up and play but hard to put down, and addictive online play, Small Arms is representative of the type of independent development and new properties we need to see more of on Xbox Live Arcade.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a good game that could have been great.

I hope to see the community surprised by the shockingly high production values which its single player holds. That being said however, the multiplayer game of Call of Duty: Finest Hour is practically a throw away. The game modes are generic, communication poorly chosen, and fun level is shockingly low.

Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party is a mildly fun DDR game with Wii-mote functionality thrown into the mix. Unfortunately, it just feels so standard.

A very gratifying game, with a lot of minor problems that ultimately hold it back from greatness.

I would have personally loved to see co-op multiplayer. It didn't detract from the game, but co-op in a game like Spartan is always a nice little touch.

Attack of the Saiyans is the truest game to the DBZ Anime I have ever seen. Not only it is true, but it is really good as an RPG.

Mini Ninjas was a bit of a surprise, I'll be honest. The game didn't receive much hype, and I don't think the name does it any favors. It's not that Mini Ninjas is a particularly bad name, but it does evoke an initial impression that the game might be meant solely for the younger crowd to enjoy.

The latest Tony Hawk outing is overall just more of the same.

Although not super deep, Excite Truck is a fun little Wii game. I’m most disappointed by the lack of four-player split-screen.

Some extraneous features like voice commands are nice features but don't add much to either help or hurt the game. The meat of the action will make your gamer heart soar but ends far too soon.

The graphics and game-play are highly addictive, figuring out the means of taking a bunker, or finding document can mean anything from a few hours of playing to a few days just to pass one level.

With its solid presentation and polished gameplay, this is definitely a game worth checking out by fans of the film and gamers alike.

A great game. You have all the hallmarks that should be there. You even have a wealth of options and content to fill out the package.

Mercs 2 is a largely successful effort that will literally give you more "bang" for your buck than most games out there.

Dark Sector is a great experience and worth a playthrough, but perhaps the largest issue with Dark Sector lies in that much of it is all too similar to what has come before it.

Strangely enough, Endless Ocean is a very well made game. The problem lies in something else: as a game, Endless Ocean isn't very entertaining.

Having a battle fall apart when the healer is killed because you forgot to pay attention to her for fifteen seconds. Uh, a healer should be able take care of herself, at least, right? It's in their freakin' job description.

Prinny, can you really be the hero? The answer is an astounding yes.

A fun, exciting, and intense FPS that has varied and creative environments, well-designed weapons and creatures, fantastic graphics, and fabulous sound effects.

The Club is a game you want to master but might find the lasting appeal is lacking. The multiplayer stands out as being the shining feature of the game but the single-player will be a love/hate relationship.

Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess is a comical title that is great for gamers who want a quick time waster or for the perfectionist looking for top scores.

It will attract new fans to the franchise with it's fast, arcade action. It will deter old fans with it's fast, arcade action.
