Crime Lab: Body of Evidence is undeniably an ambitious game, but it comes off as below average due to its strange attempt to blend the accessibility of casual games with the tedious and confusing puzzles found in lackluster adventure games.

I could recommend this game if it came with a download code for the amazing soundtrack, but since that isn't the case, only the die-hard Sega junkies need apply here.

Am I glad to see this Dreamcast title on XBLA? Yes. It is just too bad a little more work didn't go into the porting process.

The initial game is only three or four hours long, but the high score tables and somewhat mysteriously appearing achievements lend it decent replay value.

To put it as simply as possible, this is one terrible fighting game.

Even though it looks and sounds great, with plenty of extras to keep players going, the game that all of this nice presentation rests upon is an unplayable mess.

Simply put, the entire game is one huge mess that is caked with technical problems which makes the game boarderline unplayable and definitely not entertaining. .

With such a vast library of interesting and fun to play DS games available, this game is doomed to sit in cardboard displays of bargain games across the country, and for good reason.

Unless you are being forced at gunpoint to buy a DS game for a gamer that you strongly dislike, there is no reason to buy or play Monkey Madness: Island Escape.

It isn’t very exciting, which may be disappointing for people who expect the game to have any sort of attitude or personality beyond its atrocious music, but it works decently and has a great deal of unadvertised potential as a relaxation aide for stressed out people that have a fondness for ATV racing.

Adventure games are not inherently boring, and neither are murder mysteries, but all of the pointless procedure that this game throws at you will, at least as you play it, make you forget all of the enjoyment that you ever got out of either of those things.

I can’t say anything “nice” about this game. So do yourself a favor, save your money and go buy a good game, like Little King’s Story.

With no multiplayer options and an extremely weak tutorial system, it isn’t hard to see that Jewel Master Egypt was created with a tight budget. But with flawed game design, frustrating level structure, and inaccurate style control, DS owners are much better off looking elsewhere for their puzzle gaming fix.

If you want the real Diner Dash experience it on XBLA or on PC.

As a whole, Chronicles of Mystery: The Tree of Life is an average game that could keep adventure gamers busy until they finish and forget it.

As I actually played Vegas Party, though, I realized that I’d rather be alphabetizing my CD collection than finishing up the game.

I’m a gamer who regularly plays adventure games with at their core are nothing more than glorified fetch quests, but I just can’t bring myself to call this game an “adventure” because it isn’t an “adventure.” A better word to use is “job” because it is work to have to play this game.

It is of the lowest quality.

It is difficult to deny that Monster Trucks Mayhem has a very precise purpose and audience in mind while playing it, watching others play it, or even while looking at the box, but it is essentially successful at what it sets out to do.

From the glitchy programming, the poor graphical quality, a camera that never listens to the player, and horrific level design, Brave: A Warrior’s Tale is an incomplete product.

The music is simple, though repetitive and the graphics are actually pretty good compared to the game play. If I was a little kid and my parents bought me this game, I’d get a few good days of play out of it before trading it in for a well made game… or any game really.

It is quite obvious that Puzzle Kingdoms had a low budget to work with. They tried to recreate Puzzle Quest to make another quick buck, but fell completely flat.

The entire product feels rushed and is definitely of budget title quality.

X-Blades feels like an incomplete game.

Fans of the show will appreciate this title more, but I cannot even recommend playing past level 1 for even the hardcore.

Even for the deeply discounted price of $20, Redneck Jamboree is absolutely not worth the price of admission and should be avoided at all costs. If you need your casual mini game fix, just stick with Wii Sports or Wii Play.

For people who are looking for this particular niche of gaming there really isn’t much. That said this one should still be avoided for any reason besides a few sad laughs at someone else’s expense.

Say, if you buy a 10lbs bag of these chocolate morsels, this crappy Wii game could have been bundled with it...like finding a toy in a box of cereal.
