The quirky sounds you can add to your bongos are a humorous touch and should be good for a few laughs.

I must say that while it doesn't even approach gaming's Pantheon of Gods nor does it really aspire to do as much, it does succeed as a pure action gaming experience.

Yes, it's strange to be able to damage cops but not have a scratch even when they hit harder than Ike Turner.

This is a solid game, but there isn't much in the way of innovation here that I can see apart from the obvious graphical improvements.

This title is pretty much just a straight forward JRPG. Fans of the genre will enjoy their time with this title while others might want to look elsewhere.

It is a breath of fresh air for the Suikoden series, and definitely should pique the interest of tactics-lovers.

Once you hit that first chip in eagle, you will be hooked, and you might even forget all about the lack of online play.

All this being said, The Bourne Conspiracy is definitely worthy of a rental for fans of action games. It’s a short game that pretty much does what it sets out to do, which is entertain.

Despite some hiccups in the hit detection, the annoying commentator, and no reload button, Silent Scope is a good game. The story mode seems short at first, but soon a whole new mission will be unlocked.

Let's have me stop now before I go over the line, but I urge you grappling fans to pick this one up, as it's truly one of the last great wrestling games for this generation of consoles.
