Jak 3 can be completed in a weekend, minus the egg missions.

Although it rigidly adheres to the gameplay mechanics of its spiritual forebears, it does successfully weave an interesting story, in an unusual and graphically lush setting.

It's addictive, simple and fun. It's pretty, it sounds excellent and it will run on almost any system that has played a game in the past four years.

The game is fun and has lots of replay value. The difficulty keeps it from getting old after a week. Though it could benefit from some more modes of play like other Mario sports games have.

Most of the game is nicely done, but the bad AI kills what could’ve been a real must-buy.

Overall, there really isn’t anything to terrible to say about Eternal Sonata. The first hours are definitely the slowest part of the game and are very “Japanese,” but any RPG fan will enjoy the balanced combat system and haunting musical score.

The bottom line is simple: if you love true RPGs, then you need to pick up this game.

Despite some shady collision detection, disappearing corpses and enemies walking unchanging lines, seemingly oblivious to your presence and the death of nearby comrades, Future Perfect is a solid package offering a huge amount of Easter Eggs and content with a great sense of humor, both online and off, that will keep you coming back.

The game really only takes a few hours to complete but its charm has the most staying power.

Gamers looking for something to get them through the summer months will find Dead Rising a welcome addition to their library. Welcome back my undead friends, welcome back

Other genre entries could learn a thing or two from this game for multi-functional weapons and minimized load times.

A fun diversion for fans of either the iconic comic book character or the shooter genre in general.

Gyromancer is fun though, despite the weird difficulty curve but playing against human opponents can be more entertaining. Here’s the skinny: it’s defiantly not as great as Puzzle Quest, but it’s defiantly better than the oft forgotten Puzzle Kingdom.

Factions really doesn't break any new ground, but it does play well to its core competencies, namely delivering a beautiful world for players that love PvE and exploration, alongside a finely-tuned set of PvP and Arena areas for the more competitive crowd.

Let me put it simply; this is a fun game. It has a quickly developed plot with interesting characters and an exciting enough battle system that you'll never be bothered by the frequency of fights. However, it suffers from the curse of most great games; it's short.

Sam and Max continue to deliver humorous adventures on a monthly basis. While this is probably one of the more difficult games that they have released recently it is also one of the most fulfilling in terms of story.

You know this game is repetitive. You know this game has the most simplistic gameplay. You know this game has a terrible plotline, graphics, and audio qualities. You know spamming attacks is an incredibly cheap tactic that throws off the balance of the game. But with all the negative aspects going against it, X-Men Arcade is still absurdly entertaining - a quality very few games possess.

A good game, but it doesn’t even touch the greatness of any of the other Suikodens. The story simply falls short of the epics found in all its predecessors and is, for all intents and purposes, just a ball of clichés.

The one major downside seems to be that the character's moves list is fairly limited, so it does not take very long to get accustomed to each one.

It throws clunky mechanics to the side and opts for something more fluid, which is definitely worth the purchase if you don't expect a revolutionary storyline or funky-fresh graphics.

A surprisingly satisfying tactical endeavor. With four unique storylines to play through, many hours can be pumped into this game.

Shooting down a chopper with a rocket or launching a RPG right into a guy's chest just never gets old.

Still, the PC version of Plants vs. Zombies remains the one that most gamers will want to start with, but if you only have a DS or want a full-featured portable version of the game, the slowdown is the only major problem with the port.

The platform experience is wonderfully balanced and the game's pace is spot on.

The actual running and production of the magazine is executed terrifically, and truly makes you feel as though you are making all of the decisions regarding its ongoing production.

Super hero games have a particularly bad reputation among most gamers. For every rare decent licensed game there are always a slew along the lines of the abysmal Aquaman Now that I’ve succeeded in sending shivers down your spine, I am pleased to announce that X-Men Legends most definitely does not suck.

A worthy successor.

Smuggler's Run is a solid addition to any action or racing fanatic's collection.
