My Word Coach might turn on English majors, but that's about it. It's doubtful that many will find its premise to be entertaining – at least not for long, anyway.

The main problem in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is that the game has no Wii-specific features, and it certainly doesn't have that next-gen presentation that many might expect from a Wii title.

Call of Duty 4 is Infinity Ward's best game to date, the best military shooter ever made, and one of the best games of the year. If you are not a fan of first-person shooters, this game will make you rethink your position.

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.

What Half-Life2 did for physics, TimeShift attempts to do with time. By and large, TimeShift succeeds where many have failed.

Virtua Fighter 5 isn't a perfect fighting game, but its damn close. It's easily the best fighting game available on the Xbox 360. Fans of the genre owe it to themselves to pick this game up, along with an arcade stick.

Even little kids will probably be turned off by the lack of options – unless they don't mind literally playing the same over and over.

It is easy to tell that the developers had fun making The Simpsons. The humor and satire is on a level video games rarely achieve. This game can be safely recommended to gamers longing for such a quality.

The Simpsons Game is yet another lackluster licensed game. The difference is that this lackluster licensed game has The Simpsons writers and voice cast behind it, meaning that the humor and atmosphere in the game outright nails the source material.

This is a game that's definitely for the hardcore stealth gamer, not the casual crowd. The violence is too edited for you to see anything clearly, so concerned parents need not obsessively worry.

In the end, the formula is shallow and the experience marred by too many small problems. That said, it is a likable and fun Wii title that merges qualities from the action and RTS genres into a one hybrid genre.

When you balance out the positive and negative aspects in Guitar Hero III, you're left with scale tipping very strongly in the positive.

Eye of Judgment is unlike anything the gaming world has seen yet. Eye of Judgment is aimed at a specific audience so that doesn't make it for everyone.

Clive Barker's Jericho is a mish-mash of great concepts and stupid design choices.

If you loved any or all of the previous Ace Combat games, we recommend you pick up Ace Combat 6 immediately. If you were never a fan of the franchise or the genre before, Ace Combat 6 doesn't offer anything that will change your mind.

When we first started playing Zack & Wiki, we found ourselves instantly liking the adventure. There's something undeniably fun and enthralling about this point-and-click adventure.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is like asking for a pony for your birthday only, when you open your present, it turns out to be a unicorn.

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.

Napoleon Dynamite does a good job at staying faithful to the movie and adding some gameplay mechanics. However, there are some poor design choices like the flash-like graphics and some frustrating mini-games.

Truthfully, we were pleasantly surprised with EA Playground when we got our hands-on the final version. However, the number of activities in the game is subpar, leaving little to do and see once you've experienced each only a couple of times.

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

Every component of the Orange Box stands as a unique triumph in modern game design and serves as powerful representation of what's possible when you have one of the most talented and dedicated developers in the industry working at the top of their game.

Sega Rally Revolution is the kind of game anyone you know could pick up and start enjoying immediately. It's not the deepest game you'll ever play, but it is fun and an excellent way to kill some time on the weekend.

If you can get past the limited modes, non-descript tracks, and overly simple menu the gameplay is a blast.

From the superb narrative, to the simple, yet effective gameplay mechanics Folklore is genius that shines through.

It's impossibly hard to like Donkey Kong Barrel Blast; it's fundamentally flawed from the start. The Wii-waggle controls hope to compensate for what is otherwise a poorly designed Mario Kart wannabe, but it all backfires – they're the game's leading failure.

Project Gotham Racing 4 feels like an update to Project Gotham Racing 3 more so than a full-fledged sequel.

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.
