A bargain platformer that tried to stuff twenty pounds of game into a ten pound bag - and it shows.

With more time and more polish, this could have been a hit but somewhere down the development line, the game misfires and falls short of something that had the potential to be better.

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.

It is that addicting and, because of it, it is easy to overlook the faults and focus on the satisfyingly simple nature of the game.

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.

NHL 2K10 tries to wear way too many hats for its own good. At most moments it tries to be a party hockey game, and if it stuck to this principle throughout and adopted fast paced, arcade style hockey then it may have had a chance to succeed. But then their attempt at realism rears its nasty head and the horrific, slow and boring gameplay gets in the way of any party you'll try to throw down.

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.

It's time for Armored Core to find its place in gaming again because old fans will find it too different and potential fans will be simply turned off.

There are some strong positives with Furu Furu Park, mainly with the classic gaming angle. However, for a genre that lives and dies by how the next mini-game can out-do itself, Furu Furu Park wanders somewhere in limbo.

Clocking in at under ten hours, Tork is short. With all of its problems there is no reason to play it twice. There are mini-games, but they are nothing to go back for either.

X-Men: The Official Game is officially a disaster.

Loses the battle against mediocrity hands down. The combat is decent, but there's little else to keep you interested. Ultimately forgettable.

Cloudy isn't a horrible or even bad movie game, it just feels limited and sorely lacking the same imagination that made the movie so wonderful.

It is not as good as The Warriors, but if you can look past the SERIOUS glitches, its a fun, but short game.

The games that are fun are very fun, it is just too bad the entire package is so hit-or-miss.

An air combat game with potential, marred by its own identity crisis.

This isn't fun, this is sloppy. Fights devolve into senseless button and stick mashing, and often lead to a lot of controller throwing moments.

For every good part of Cloudy, they were either mishandled or shadowed by a bad feature. Great for the kids to play, but don't get caught up thinking this will hold your attention as well.

One of the most forgettable games I have played in a long time. The series refuses to follow in the foot steps of the great and innovative Smackdown series on the PS2 or evolve much at all for that mater.

With Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords being one of the best puzzle games ever, Galactrix isn't. The result is a game that is unique and interesting but leaves much to be desired for lasting appeal.

Watchmen sets a nice story and puts forth some interesting characters but it can't outrun the repetition of pummeling the same few enemies for the entire game.

Last Rebellion is a niche RPG that only hardcore RPG fans will enjoy.

X-Men: The Official Game is officially a disaster.

If you're in the market for a Wii-mote, pick this up, as you get one with it, and it's only 10 bucks more. If you're not, then pass. It's a little too simple and will be short-lived for most.

Kane and Lynch unfortunately fall a bit flat once again, as this game is about as fun as their crime was successful.

While there is an intriguing idea at the core of MySims, there are just not enough interesting activities worth repetitive engagement.

The bones of the game are brittle and frail since the basics of a RTS games are never fully realized but LEGO Battles will be remembered in case studies as an experiment of how to implement RTS controls into a DS game.

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.
