    Still, if you don't mind paying a dollar for what will likely be a couple of hours ofentertainment, you'll certainly have as much fun here as you could hope for from any brainless bludgeoner.

    It's this lack of content that keeps MLB Power Pros 2008 from being a great video game. Enjoyable controls and decent graphics make it one of the DS' best sports games, but for $29.99, we expected a little more.

    Capcom should have tweaked a few things to make this more of an ideal get-together, namely the graphic presentation and the multiplayer options. As is, it's still not bad, and it makes us yearn for a third chapter.

    If you're a Guitar Hero fan or someone with a passion for music, you're bound to like Modern Hits just as much as the previous two games. However, Activision needs to shake up the system and add more features and DSi support. Without it, this series will flame out.

    Glory of Heracles is a good RPG that looks and feels too similar to the competition. That'll please fans that eat this stuff up, but we'll wait for a quest worthy of the gods.

    Link The Slug's real problem, then, is that it's fun to a degree but also very often simply too clever for its own good.

    In the end, Riddick fares better than most movie tie-ins, mainly because of Gaming Corps' dedication to good stealth play and stage design. It could've been better, though, especially with superior action elements and more involvement from Diesel.

    Seeing as how it's $20, MGS:DGN is one of those "what the hell" purchases. Even if you're not a Metal Gear fan it's worth checking out, if for nothing else than to admire the slick art work and check out a confusing story that you might have missed.

    The cheery 'bloop-de-bleep' repeated throughout the entire game is enough to make ears bleed.

    The overall lack of accessibility knocks Iron Man 3 down several pegs, but considering the unimpressive history of superhero video games, this one still manages to shine, with its intense flying, daily challenges and fan service. Money improves this title considerably, but you don't need to spend it to have a decent time.

    The game lacks in genuine long-term appeal due to the repetitive settings and modes, but still has enough to make it worth a look.

    OREO has a neat little gimmick that's executed very well but that's really all it is, and the bulk of the game is exactly what you'd imagine it to be: marketing. You'll certainly get a quick blast of fun from this entirely free download, but you'll soon be left feeling hungry for something just a little more substantial.

    The only thing holding Van Pershing back is a lack of creativity.

    Had RayForce been $0.99 or even $3.99, I would've recommended it, since the game has plenty of fans and takes me back to the 90s. The price, sadly, is a huge sticking point, and quite frankly, you can pick up plenty of better games for less.

    It's hard not to be cynical about a game like Hoshigami. It tries so hard to be ignored in so many aspects of its design that it's a quest just to find the game's heart.

    We understand The Game Bakers' vision with Combo Crew, but the initial game requires some tweaks to become special. For now, it lags behind those old school beat-em-ups it tries so hard to emulate.

    An amazing technical achievement on the PSP, and is leaps and bounds better then last years Blazin' Trails. However you can't help but feel like you're playing a ho-hum console game that will leave you wanting more of almost everything.

    While playing this game, I couldn't help but think I would have enjoyed this more had I been 10 years old.

    If you like boarding or you're a fan of the winter sports gold medalist, Shaun White Snowboarding just might be your game. Otherwise, there's no reason you can't stick with the inexpensive copy of SSX On Tour.

    Issues aside, Kitchen Carnage is well worth a buck. Bottle Rocket not only captured the spirit of the show, but also designed a cool game with potential, providing the developers come through with the promised new updates and horrible deaths. Now excuse us while we dig for those leaderboards.

    Bookworm Heroes is a tremendously fun word game, and it's one that's packed full of fun characters, special abilities and addictive gameplay. But when you produce a game that makes even Zynga looks generous, you really have to wonder if there isn't still a little extra balancing to be done.

    The freshness of the self-referential humor, the EXCELLENT music, and the juxtaposed watercolor/pixilated graphics certainly make Contact an experience. The somewhat boring and repetitive combat, coupled with the somewhat boring, repetitive line of quests dampen that experience somewhat, however.

    Even though Band Hero is still a strong musical performer, its problems keep it from stealing the show.

    Asphalt Overdrive's cool 80s vibe, classic cars and different modes will keep people interested, but its stamina system and in-app purchases hold it back from greatness.

    And hey, you don't have to worry about getting fitted for cement shoes later, am I right? I just wish the presentation was a bit more illustrious.

    While your time with Party Wave will certainly be enjoyable, it's likely to be rather short-lived.

    With a little bit more development time, The Force Unleashed could've been a monstrous hit, even bigger than the Death Star. However, it's good for lightsaber nuts looking to play something on the go.

    Let Me Loose wouldn't be our first recommendation to anyone who'd yet to set eyes on a mobile physics puzzler, but if you think you're up for a serious challenge then you might want to check the game out.

    All in all it's good enough fun, but despite the variety of zombie behaviors on display in the game, RIP Rally does represent gaming at it's most primitive - and it's a bit of a one-trick pony. With all that said, the couple of hours you'll spend mowing down the undead are fun ones, and we'd encourage everyone to take this latest zombie shooter for at least one quick spin.

    My Om Nom is an adorable pet simulator that could have been made better with a lack of wait times and other bizarre design decisions, but as is it's still a fun on-the-go sim that you'll pick up and likely put down after seeing all it has to offer, wait times included.
