But one can't help but find a slight disappointment in comparison to Brain Age, as it doesn't really allow us to expand our smarts like we want it to.

Tony Hawk's Project 8 for the PSP isn't as great a game as the console versions. How can it be? It has no real way to resemble the controls without a second analog stick, and the graphics almost feel like an afterthought.

Great Little War Game HD is much better than a three out of five. We just couldn't award it a higher score knowing it crashes on iPad 2. If you can deal with that, or have the iPhone/older iPad, this App comes highly recommended.

Docking Sequence is an entertaining diversion, but only if you're willing to experiment with different ways of solving puzzles. For everyone else, that may be a little too involved.

If you're the type of hardcore gamer who purchases things with the intent to become challenged or reach a high score, it's probably best to avoid this title. Acting as a ice breaker is where the game is best, and beyond that mesmerizing developing minds with the interesting gimmicks and showpieces.

Prince of Persia isn't bad. You'll need to turn down the music, get used to the touch-screen controls and deal with the fact that you'll often die for no reason. Accept all of that and you might just like this game.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a hard sell at $9.99, due to its quirky controls and lack of new content. On the other hand, if you love the original or need a quick skateboarding fix, you could do worse than ollie up the cash for it.

Bottom line, Little Deviants is a good game. If anything it brings to mind numerous iPhone and iPad titles we've seen over the years. Thing is, none of those games cost $29.99 individually, and would probably not cost more than $6.99 in one package. As it stands, this game doesn't have what it takes to compete against Vita's better offerings, but if you give it a chance (and have the money to burn), it does the job.

It's ugly, but Kage feels like a Shinobi clone and that's not a bad thing. We just want a little more from today's releases, even ones priced $19.99. But for what it is, Kage 2's blade is sharp enough to cut into our game time.

It's a cool game that'll keep you busy for a little while. Just keep your clothes on.

We can't help but feel that the game will divide players though, as while it has enjoyable characters with refreshing gameplay, it's gameplay that nevertheless becomes rather repetitive, rather quickly.

Chipotle Scarecrow looks great, plays alright once you've mastered the tilt controls, but ultimately does very little to grab your attention for long. The controls can be very frustrating, and the message underpinning the game is delivered with sledgehammer subtlety. It may not be the worst game-disguised-as-marketing-message we've ever played, but it will leave you hungry for something just a little more substantial.

It's a shame the somewhat barebones package doesn't give gamers more of an excuse to come back to the excellent soccer engine.

That said, Flick Champions comes up a bit short, but for the price, Tennis, Hockey and Bowling make the package worth it.

We keep coming back for more, largely because the developers did an excellent job making it seem easier than it is, like doing a keg stand or tying a cherry stem with one's tongue. What? Not everyone can do that? Nonsense. Well, in this case, we spend upwards of 30 minutes failing to break 200 meters.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is far from a disaster. Newcomers to the whole LEGO phenomenon will probably dig it, but the poor visuals, frame rate jitters and lackluster objectives left us wanting more. It's time for this franchise to evolve in a big way.

It all comes down to how much you're willing to invest. Personally, we grew tired of grinding and may never play Slam Dunk King again. PikPok went a little overboard with the prices, and it remains to be seen whether users will fork over the cash.

Flick Rocket lacks content. The endless mode will keep you busy for a little while (with Game Center support), and the story mode provides a bit more value, but we want more; the developers have an update on the way.

We'll stop short of calling Egg Punch bad. There's fun to be had throughout its six unique worlds. As for a true mini golf game, the search continues.

A solid adventure that'll appeal to retro fans in search of a Genesis fix. At the same time, there's little to do once you plow through the main quest, aside from inviting a friend to play via Bluetooth. Regardless, the game takes roughly two hours to complete.

We had a concern when we previewed the game that the game's pace and repetition may go against it in the end, and it's certainly true that (boss-fights aside) the game becomes a bit of a trudge once you've taken on the first dozen or so levels.

The graphics and multiplayer options should've been weighed out more, but are made up for with excellent gameplay and decent Wi-Fi against a friend. If robot bashing is beating heavily anywhere in your body, it's time to settle in with a few rounds of this game. You won't be sorry.

At $6.99, Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies is a tough sell. Plenty of other games offer more content for that price (or less). What's more, having just one map and no online play definitely hurts this title's appeal. Worth the dough if you're a high roller. Otherwise, wait for additional maps and online co-op.

Lacks a career mode, offers laggy multiplayer, and is fairly unpolished.

A good, but not great, beat-em-up always looking for a handout. You don't have to pay. At the same time, you probably won't have as much fun if you don't.

If you can deal with its warts, WWE All Stars is yet another entertaining brawler that leaves the door wide open for even better efforts from THQ in the future. Not bad by any means. Just a little frustrating.

Does an excellent job building suspense, and so long as you have the proper lights, works quite well. Not exactly the game that'll save AR, but after several years of failure, it's a step in the right direction.

Puzzle Scape is not a great game, but is a game that should be purchased by enthusiasts only.
