    Mega Brain Boost
    If you want a good, fun, and challenging way to work your mind, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Professor Layton. The 130-odd logic puzzles found there-in will do more for your brain than wasting time and money on a poor Brain Age knock-off.

    Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
    Harvey Birdman's big problem, however, is length. The five cases will take you a few hours to get through, at best.

    Draglade
    Draglade won't change the way you game, and Atlus has released more memorable games than this in the past.

    Geometry Wars: Galaxies
    In all, Geometry Wars: Galaxies is an expansion done right.

    Master of Illusion
    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.

    Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
    When a game is supposed to be strategic, I expect strategy... and when it fails in that regard, I personally cannot believe it's a great game. That's not to say FFXII: RW is bad or that it isn't competently designed, it's just that it could have been much more and it's sort of infuriating to know it isn't.

    Mario Party DS
    The truth be told, Mario Party DS is one of the better games in the series, with replay value galore -- especially if you got friends around.

    Contra 4
    Contra 4 is a wonderful throwback to the Contra days of old, a jam-packed blastathon guaranteed to get your blood pumping. Grab your gun and let's hit it, before you get stomped, tattooed, hanged and killed.

    Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends
    But as a return player, it barely added anything of significance to improve gameplay and the multiplayer they added actually worsened the overall value.

    Ultimate Mortal Kombat
    No, truth be told, this is far from the quintessential handheld MK experience. Mortal Kombat Unchained did more for the PSP and it's available at $20 less than this release over at EB Games.

    Silent Hill: Origins
    While the game is short, it never feels like you've wasted your money... the world is packed with little details to find, and there are also multiple endings which encourage replays.

    Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
    SquareEnix did its hardest to push the Nintendo DS on a technical level, and this crude approximation of Level 5's graphical work with Dragon Quest VIII can at least be admired on that level.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
    Lego Star Wars: The Compete Saga is an exceptional home port for the series, and a fine return to form for the Nintendo DS.

    SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike
    SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Tactical Strike is tactically unsound and just not very fun to play overall.

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
    Although we'll take one of the higher-up versions just for the sake of looking at the unimaginable frame rate and getting some online multiplayer in, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is still a solid recommendation on the handheld front.

    Ben 10: Protector of Earth
    I'm not saying it's all bad, I'm saying so many games do this sorta thing so much better that it's not really worth the time or investment unless you keep posters of Gwen Tennyson on your wall.

    DreamWorks Bee Movie Game
    Bee Movie Game, sadly, is just another example of a wasted license.

    Super Collapse 3
    There's not much more to discuss about the Super Collapse 3... it is what it is, and that's not exactly a bad place to be.

    Dementium: The Ward
    At the end of the day what you can hope for is what we actually got, an extremely noteworthy effort that bodes well for future releases from this company.

    Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century
    Don't buy into this Scam.

    Mega Man ZX Advent
    Overall, Mega Man ZX Advent reinvents the wheel in a way, but it still spins just as well as it ever has.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
    If anything, Trials and Tribulations is guilty of just being the "same old thing". After all, the formula hasn't really changed whatsoever from what was present in the first two games, aside from some tweaks to the defense system.

    Naruto: Path of the Ninja
    Naruto: Path of the Ninja doesn't go out of its way to offend anybody. It's thoroughly playable from beginning to end without any major problems, but the little things along the way tend to stick in your craw.

    Napoleon Dynamite: The Game
    In the end, Napoleon Dynamite: The Game does little to fight the stereotype of low quality licensed games.

    Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day
    Flash Focus: Vision Training In Minutes a Day is cheap, checking in at $19.99, but even that doesn't seem to justify what you are actually getting here.

    NBA 08
    Still, we can't fully recommend a basketball game if the main function of the game is this broken. If you can't shoot worth a damn or defend worth a damn, then, really, what's the point if the AI is just going to run right over you?

    Bleach: The Blade of Fate
    Really, though, it's all about getting together with a few friends and beating the living tar out of each other. Up to four players can take part in a fight, selecting from 26 characters throughout the game.
    • 66 Metascore

    Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck
    Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck isn't bad, it's just an idea that wasn't stretched out far enough to cover the space provided in the cartridge.
    • 74 Metascore

    Sega Rally Revo
    The point of the matter is that Sega Rally Revo brings the series back to life without dumping what made it so damn crucial in the first place.

    Holly Hobbie & Friends
    As wary as I came in, nothing could have prepared me for just how fundamentally broken this game is. I can only imagine how frustrating this experience would have been to an infant (assumedly, the target audience). What could have been a quick-and-easy cash-in for Majesco, recommendable to the most hardcore of Holly fans, is a complete mess, a Holly Hobbie that nobody could care for and sadly, should have been aborted.
