A very good start for EA with this franchise, as they tuned up the sim, tuned down the arcade, and created a nice cushion to bounce off for future titles.

If you need one game to get for the launch, NBA 2K6 is the way to go, simply because "NBA Live" is more of a visual presentation with very little substance.

While the gameplay is out-of-this-world outstanding, there isn’t too much else to the game other than the basic exhibition and franchise modes.

EA made a daring attempt at trying to portray the 1963 film, which for the most part, reached its goal despite the small lack of fluidity in level selection and plot transitions. However, gamers who enjoyed "Everything or Nothing" will be extremely disappointed to find out that From Russia With Love doesn't even come close to its previous predecessor's gameplay innovation and fast-moving action build-up.

I'm personally glad to have crawled out from "Underground" and to have started something fresh, even if it is a rehashed concept.

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

Born on the Playstation 2, and it looks it. Muddy Textures, low detail. The large gameworld is technically impressive though.

As a Viewtiful Joe fan, I'm pretty disappointed in Red Hot Rumble. The game isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. It's average, when it gets down to it, really.

Just flat out a bad game. Being a budget title does not save this game or excuse any of its shortcomings, as so many of today's budget titles for kids are actually very good.

The game is amazing for its short length, and quick switch from platform to platform.

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.

Mario Party 7 offers much love to everyone that will take it. The mic is accurate and responsive, no complaints there, though it would have been nice to have a few more mini-games that actually involved it.

Zathura unfortunately adds to the ever growing list of bad games based on children's films. This is rather sad because I believe given time, a decent budget, and a talented development team, the story of Zathura could make a good game.

Not as good as the original game, but worth checking out by fans of the first game and film.

With a fairly entertaining, though disappointingly short campaign, the game makes a great rental title to play to kill off a boring weekend afternoon.

While Curse of Darkness is certainly not on the same level as previous titles in the series, the game offers a great action experience through exceptional boss fights and an engaging story.

Just flat out a bad game. Being a budget title does not save this game or excuse any of its shortcomings, as so many of today's budget titles for kids are actually very good.

Levels are often quite redundant and boring after just a few minutes, players can feel as if they've already seen and done everything.

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.

It is not the best brawler on the market, but Shrek SuperSlam is a good one that gets held back from greatness due to some weak parts.

Detailed and fluidly animated characters duke it out in impressively destructible environments. Framerate and texture issues hold the game back from graphical greatness.

Rough around the edges, but the story and setting draws you in from beginning to end.

An auditory feast for Nintendo fans. Everyone who grew up with Mario and friends needs to see what the game has to offer, even players who have never touched a dance game before.

With more gameplay variety than the average game and just an overall happy feeling, there is a lot to be enjoyed here for both fans of the movie and gamers alike.

So if you're looking to play a great action/strategy game, or you just want to make up for the videogame genocide you have committed on all zombies, Stubbs the Zombie is the game for you. Just remember to bring a friend.
