Although Ace Combat is far from perfect, it still offers entertainment. This game is one of the few titles to actually marry the idea of realistic graphics mixed with arcadey controls and gameplay.

Namco Museum Remix is a decent compilation, but it will have gamers wanting more, especially for the higher price point.

Its average battle system and unimpressive graphics really doesn’t do much, and there isn’t anything to really appeal to the average gamer.

If nothing else, Napoleon Dynamite gives you a unique experience, but it doesn't necessarily give you a consistently fun one.

This game, unfortunately, is one big negative.

Without question, Beautiful Katamari is an entertaining game, especially for newcomers to the series.

Fish Tycoon is a game that could easily be a great addition to the simulation video game genre, but it is flawed with overly complicated menus and a weak graphical coat of paint.

Everyone who has bought every Tony Hawk game thus far knows what they’re getting; a game about skateboarding, and that’s all. And when it comes to that, it is pretty good.

While this may be Tony Hawk’s 9th game it is hard to say that much has changed since the other games. At a full retail price of 60 dollars it is hard to recommend this game over any of the other now bargain priced Hawk games.

I believe this game could have been made with better graphics, more innovative controls and some real customization for your skate park.

There really isn’t much to put it on top of the frustratingly huge avalanche of card games based on absolutely everything. You might already be playing it, and if so, it’s worth checking out simply for the online play. For everyone who isn’t a fan though, this isn’t worth playing.

A weak attempt to cash in on consumers who don’t know any better.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe isn’t an awful game. It’s just a terribly forgettable game.

Spiderman Friend or Foe contains nothing but broken gameplay and was created to make a quick buck from the ignorant consumer.

While the GBA version of this game isn't quite on par with it's siblings on the Wii, DS and PS2, it's still a simple and enjoyable game from start to finish.

For fans of the genre who love to have their brain teased as well as hung up for hours however, this is to be expected, and you could do much worse than what the developers of this game have come up with here; a genuinely challenging, if a bit inclusive adventure.

The game is rightfully priced at a cheaper $20 price point, with Pac-Man Vs being the obvious highlight of this compilation. If you need a classic gaming fix from time to time, then this game can satisfy that craving.

All in all, there’s very little reason to get Digimon World: Data Squad. Between the simplistic-yet-frustrating battle system and the absolutely terrible graphics, there just isn’t anything positive to say about the game.

This is a pity, as Digimon: Dusk has really taken the genre in new directions and done things I only wish Pokemon and other games like it would do. Some call Digimon an imitation. I call it an evolution of the genre.

This series is quite possibly the biggest surprise of the PS2’s final years.

Fighting game aficionados are encouraged to download this.

While Capcom did come up a sliver short of a real “HD” Remix of Puzzle Fighter, this is still one of the premiere downloadable games.

The graphics are from about 15 years ago, the programming is poorly coded, and the written dialogue is laugh out loud embarrassing. The budget price of $20 is not worth the frustration.

Even with the budget price of $20, this is not a recommended game. The quirkiness is a little too over the top and the touch controls are shoddy at best.

Like Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3 should be picked up by every Wii owner, even if you didn’t play the other Prime games.

This game is not even worthy of a rental so I strongly advise that you stay away. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go play a better game…it’s called Sneak King.

Overall we were deeply impressed with Bioshock for the PC, but do wish that the developers had made available the toolkit used in its construction - I shiver contemplating what the fan community could make from its art and building resources.

The story, the huge decaying city, the personalities of the people you see, hear, and listen to...all of it combines together to create a masterpiece of gaming.

Only try it if you are a hardcore fan, or if you are willing to master an inefficient and frustrating control system.

For those of us that find ourselves longing for an RPG that we can enjoy for awhile, without ever feeling rushed or overly caught in minor details, Brave Story can fit that bill on the PSP.

Bomberman is all about having that easy to play, casual multiplayer gaming session...the same motif that all Live Arcade should possess. Do yourself a favor and purchase this game as soon as possible.

Ninja Gaiden once again makes an amazing showing on another system, too bad the game was cursed with a full retail priced release.

Transformers is nothing special but it will entertain as a decent rental and it should be noted that it is better than your average movie licensed game.

Much more than your basic first person shooter. The game of course does have its flaws, mostly with how confusing the story gets towards the end, but what really hurts the game is that it seems to always be building towards something, only to let you down. Fortunately everything the game does well makes up for it by giving you one of the best mixtures of action and plot with the end result of a truly immersive adventure that really is worth your time and effort.

In summation, all I can say is that, if you really want to get your hands on a WW2 FPS worth playing, get Call of Duty. Anything else will lead to, as the boys in Deep 13 used to say, “Deep hurting! Deep hurting!”

Just about every other tactics game is better than this game. Stay away.

Play the DS or 360 version instead.

While I have serious issues with this game's graphics and gameplay, the numerous little innovations that are at its core force me to give it a stay of execution. While I think both versions of Transformers could have been great with more work, I wasn't expecting much from it in the first place, so I remain pleasantly surprised.

Even though the combat system is kind of lame, the graphics are pretty much on par, and the WiFi mode is limited to single player, I still enjoyed my time with this title.

Scarface: The World is Yours for the Wii probably won’t change the world, Other than using the Wii’s pointer to aim, it doesn’t do much that the Grand Theft Auto series hasn’t done in the past, but it does what it does extremely well.

Mad Tracks starts off fun, and each level will entertain through the first play through, but the replay grows flat sooner rather than later.

Racing Simulation games have been done before, but they have never been done this well.

The game really holds no value for anybody outside of a Naruto fan, and even then, this game is simply not worth the money and frustration required for it.

Continuing the Shrek saga, The Third is a pretty bad game…but any gamer could probably assume that just by looking at the title on the cover of the packaging.

If you value your time, stay away from this game. Go see the movie instead

In fact, I might go so far as to say a parent might enjoy playing this title while their kid is doing his homework. Though I still wouldn't recommend they buy it for themselves.

If you look at this as a racing game that uses skateboarding, you probably won't want to buy Downhill Jam. But if you like skateboarding games and want something new from the Tony Hawk franchise, then jam on over to the game story and pick up a copy of this game.

As a licensed game, Spiderman 3 is exceptional, but its problems and shortcomings stop it from being a notable game altogether.

No where near as good as the other versions of the game. In fact, the unusual control scheme is so messed up, I think I would rather play Spider-Man 2 or Ultimate Spider-Man on Gamecube through backwards compatibility on my Wii than play this new version.

Some of the puzzles do take some thought and occasionally some wild guesswork to complete, but apart from one or two tough spots the game is a must buy for anyone who likes point and click adventure games.

It’s easily one of the best games on the Nintendo DS, and fans familiar with the series will be able to dive right in and get into the game.

This game is capable of sucking away hours of your life without you noticing, which is always a great sign of addictive and highly entertaining gameplay.

Medal of Honor: Vanguard isn’t a terrible game. It’s just that the majority of the game is so mundane and average that the only part that really sticks out is the points that are below average.

Like everything they release, The Shivering Isles is a highly polished gem, well worth every penny. I just wish that they'd tried a little harder to give "honorable" characters a way to win.

Spend about 30 minutes to an hour of time with this game and you will realize that the makers of EDF just didn’t put their all into the title.

The game promises the a lot but in the end, absolutely fails to deliver any kind of entertaining experience.

I dare say that Custom Robo Arena is my favorite action game for the DS, due to its endless experimentation, strategy and replayability.

Overall God of War II shouldn’t be missed by fans of the first God of War.

Every thing about this PSP installment screams the term, “dumbed-down” due to the hardware limitations of the system. After living life in a mansion, it is hard to go back to living in a log cabin.

Make no mistake about it -- Burnout Dominator is a fun and addicting arcade -racing game that fans of the series will enjoy, it’s just missing some key features that would make it a one of the series’ best, for that we’ll have to wait for the true sequel later this year.

Most likely, the developers adding in all these gameplay elements to make it easier on the player, something that the target audience -- younger kids, would appreciate. But to the fans of the first title, it is like a slap in the face.

This title is definitely a sleeper hit.

A dumbed-down, bastardized version of the N64 hit. All the touch screen control and mini games completely suck to high hell.

This game alone should extend the life of the system for a while longer.

If you’re the kind of person who ranks plot as one of the most important features in a game, Hotel Dusk is worth the 15 hours it takes to beat, and another few hours to watch the story over again (and possibly unlock one of the multiple endings). However, if you’re looking for a game to bend you brain over with difficult puzzles and a thrilling exploration experience, you’d be better off with "Shadowgate."

The game tells you HOW, but it doesn't tell you WHAT. This is not bad, except for those few games that you just can't figure out. However, it's easy enough for anyone to just pick up and play.

Taking one part "Bionic Commando," one part "Starship Troopers," and one part action, Lost Planet results in an entertaining game.

I have to award Telltale Games a high curve score here because of their good level design, the extremely good voice casting, and the hilarious situations and the equally funny dialog that goes a very long way into making the game such an extremely funny game.

As nice as it was to return to the space-combat genre, particularly seeing as how this was a Trek game, I was, in the end, left a bit flat by Legacy's final presentation.

Taking into account that the story doesn't really go anywhere until you're about 4 hours in, it could turn some people away. However, the fun boss battles, wide variety of skills, and the everlasting charm of playing a Vampire Hunter is there, and kept me coming back for more.

This game will make you carry your PSP around with you wherever you go in hopes of finding a new random access point to unlock a new soldier.

With a compelling offline story, fun co-op, and an addictive online multiplayer, it would be hard not to like this game.

Yeah, the game feels unfinished, but it gives a good impression of what the future of First Person Shooters is capable of on the Wii.

The controls are as perfect as a port could possibly be, and never get in the way of your quest.

This is one you can feel confident about showing your family and friends who are normally saying things like "pish-tosh" when you bring up video games.

The gesture system is a comfortable way of controlling the heroes. Unfortunately the graphics do not scream next generation, but the Wii is more focused on the gameplay aspects, which are certainly unique in this game.

The control method is interesting, if not slightly flawed and the audio capabilities of the Wii do more than an adequate job of immersing us into the single player campaign. If you are lucky enough to own both an Wii and an Xbox 360 then we still recommended you opt for the latter as the graphics, tried and tested controls and online capabilities are more adequate for this particular game.

The split in styles between single and online play takes advantage of the strengths and necessities in each, and really pulls the game together.

There aren't many unique mini-games after the first few stages.

In the very least, it's a fun way to get bragging rights over your friends without actually inflicting pain, and hey, it could be worse - we could be playing "Raw 3."

The game is rather forgiving in the sense that it passes out free lives like tap water, but the dastardly soundtrack is not.

From the backgrounds to the hiding spots that slowly diminish as they take continued fire, the developers couldn't have done a better job at providing the perfect environment.

Newbies will feel constantly overwhelmed and will dismiss this game in a heartbeat due to its high learning curve.

If you haven’t played Lumines before, Lumines II is a great place to jump in, especially because of that extremely attractive $20 price point for a very entertaining puzzle game.

If there was some slight fine tuning, this would have been a killer game. Unfortunately, the isometric view can be more annoying than welcomed, but the graphics and sound track are stellar enough to bring the presentation levels sky high.

Compared to the SNES version, this DS game just doesn’t cut the mustard.

A highly polished game that is fun to play for many hours, but lacking in certain abstract deliverables the Final Fantasy series and the RPG genre are renowned for.

Where it falls down is in originality: for all its polish, in the end it's really just more of the same as I've played countless hours before.

Though not that pretty to look at, it serves its purpose as a fast, multiplayer friendly old school beat-em up, even if its all been done before.

The learning curve can be an obstacle to enjoying it fully, but give it a little time and play it on easy first as the tutorials gradually teach you everything you need to know.

Unfortunately, I now know the reason why this game was delayed for such a long time.

Though not that pretty to look at, it serves its purpose as a fast, multiplayer friendly old school beat-em up, even if its all been done before.

When you put together how fun Sam and Max: Culture Shock is to play, all the added content you get from GameTap, and how funny the interchange between Sam and Maxthemselves are, this game makes for a perfect fit.

Remember mom and dad – Bully's just a game. And in games as in life, everyone has the freedom to choose whether or not to play by the rules.

The game is very accessible to veterans and newbies alike, and it offers a great single and multiplayer experience.

All in all, this is just a watered down port of an already mediocre game that is nothing short of crappy.

A month ago, I liked Summon Night as a single innovative game. Now, I like it as a quality series. It manages to do what so many other series neglect: Improve while not loosing identity.

And if you're a fan of The Justice League or The Flash, I emphasize that you should not buy this game, as it may taint how you feel about both of them.
