    GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
    Rogue Agent doesn't just feel like it should be better, it yearns for it. It is so close to being a good game, but just falls short in every major category of gameplay.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent
    The storyline, which is actually one of the best in the franchise, can’t make up for level design that feels boring and controls that frustrate.

    James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
    If you play this game with low expectations, you'll be impressed but if you're expectations are any higher than that, prepare for disappointment.

    Fatal Inertia
    Fatal Inertia offers new and unique weapons and the single player experience is a fun ride even with its problems. The lackluster sense of speed and physics are incredibly frustrating.

    Capcom Fighting Evolution
    CFE offers nothing new to merit a purchase; the fundamentals are there, but Capcom could have done so much more with the game.

    Build-A-Bear Workshop
    For young children, this will be a whole lot of fun and will be greatly enjoyed. Letting kids create their own virtual Teddy Bear and customizing it to their own style will really bring a smile to a young child's face.

    Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
    Basic, uninspired, glitch-filled gameplay; extremely poor graphics; and noticeably absent film talent- all of the elements of a half-baked attempt to cash-in on the rush for Star Wars memorabilia are here.

    The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga
    Collection is a fine fighter to add to your collection.

    Risen
    Risen's sometimes engaging story and realistic characters aren't enough to save it from being benched as the stars take the field in this year's first quarter.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Gardening Mama
    Gardening Mama and Cooking Mama might as well be the same game. The change of setting is nice but that alone doesn't differentiate it enough from past Mama games to make Gardening Mama feel completely home grown and fresh.

    Crash: Mind Over Mutant
    Fans will be pleased with what Crash brings in this new addition. Unfortunately, the well-paced action frequently stutters to a stop due to problems with the fixed camera, and players will quickly grow bored of being sent from one end of the island to the other across well-worn paths.

    Shaun White Snowboarding
    Shaun White is a game that is almost there, but doesn't quite make it.

    Conflict: Vietnam
    The games controls are horrible, but other than that and the low replay value its a pretty fun game.

    Bakugan Battle Brawlers
    Fans of Bakugan will certainly like this game. There are some liberties taken with the rules but that is to be expected and they only enhance the game rather than take away.

    Sonic Unleashed
    If you're a true hardcore Sonic fan, give the game a rental and enjoy the day stages. Otherwise, don't bother.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
    Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is a good idea on paper, but in simplifying the engine they have used in their other Marvel-based games, Activision may have done the game too much of a disservice. The challenge is severely lacking and there is not much in the way of variety in terms of enemy characters.

    Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
    Wait for it to drop down to about $20, then grab it with both hands. Fans of Phoenix Wright or Harvey Birdman, this is a decent buy.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Dark Void
    All in all, Dark Void falls short of the expectations set forth by largely ignoring what makes itself stand out and muddling with gameplay mechanics that are average. The inclusion of the ground sections makes it feel like Dark Void wasn't confident enough about the jetpack to really drive the gameplay with its use.

    Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku
    Made for the hardcore fans. Everyone else is going to find a hard time enjoying its clunky gameplay and bland graphics.

    KrissX
    To anyone with the ability to read and even a small English vocabulary, this game is going to become boring in a few minutes. The lack of multiplayer hurts, too, but not as much as the $10 price point.

    Squeeballs Party
    This is a good first effort for a new publisher.

    Sonic Riders
    On the whole Sonic Riders is enjoyable, but could have been much more. It needs less attitude and more solid gameplay.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness
    Even with the charming Pokemon theme giving the title some added buoyancy, the old and simplistic formula barely floats these days.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Victorious Boxers: Revolution
    Victorious Boxers: Revolution is just the kind of game the Wii was made for. Just don't expect it to the be the definitively boxing game for the Wii, but rather think of it as a solid game to hold you over until that game comes out.

    Bleach: The 3rd Phantom
    The 3rd Phantom is a game for Bleach fans. All other gamers can safely pass at this title and feel like you aren't missing anything you haven't seen already.

    Amazing Island
    The game would be a lot better if there was a wider variety of mini-games and a few four player battle mini-games. However, as it is, there are 30 mini-games and only about 15 are genuinely unique.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Robotech: Invasion
    Overall, the game is pretty mediocre. The multiplayer falls short and the single player can be beat in less than 12 hours, the controls are rather awkward at first and the cyclones are hard to control.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled
    There are going to be gamers that will devour this game and relish how this brand new adventure feels like a ported title from the 16-bit era and some more discerning RPG gamers will lament the fact that some polish and fine tuning weren't completed in time for the final product.
    • 58 Metascore

    Gunblade NY & L.A. Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack
    There isn't much use trying to analyze the content in this combo pack of games. It feels so far removed from the arcade roots that it would be hard to believe that these were once a bonafied exhilarating arcade experience. The only saving grace is the $30 price point, which is essentially the price of two downloadable game titles. Still, without the smoke and mirrors of a busy arcade, this pack of games shows how shallow they are at the core.
