The $60 question will determine whether or not you should buy this. It really depends on how desperate you are for this type of game. I can't really stress this enough…GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption are much, much better. If you've already played those and are looking for another crime-themed game, then this is worth checking out.

But because the developers took the extra time to develop an excellent online mode, this is a game that should be played by all PSP players. And where else can you blow up zombies with a viral chainsaw dressed in a Santa suit?

The battles require some thought and are a blast to execute, but can often still be completed in ten minutes or so—depending on the battle.

Overall, if you missed this on the GBA and like a challenge in your RPGs, then Yggdra Union will be right up your alley.

Hammerin’ Hero is simplistic to a fault: short gameplay time, straight forward combat, and jobs that don’t really carry any type of variety.

It's also fun to explore gambling at the casino, shopping at the stores, and giving gifts.

Guilty Gear Isuka is to 4 player fighters as "Half-Life" is to first person shooters-a benchmark that every game in the genre should follow.

I finished the game in about seven hours and I’d expect anyone else to be able to do about the same.

Even the audio is a bit underdone, and gunfire doesn’t sound different in enclosed spaces from how it sounds out in the open and helicopters may become nearly inaudible depending on which direction Sterling faces.

Unfortunately, in the case of Laser Squad Nemesis, the developers inexplicably chose to turn their back on the 21st century in regards to its online componant, a step backwards that hobbles what might have otherwise been a compelling title.

I-Ninja is about quality over quantity. Most gamers can probably finish this game in about 9-10 hours but each minute will entertaining.

While X-Men Origins: Wolverine has some nice features, it ultimately can’t shake its mediocre gameplay.

As fun as it was to team up Marvel greats and take down evil, the game feels like it wasn't quite up to snuff with its predecessors.

While the game is still decent, it simply isn’t as great as the original installment. Though it still offers spectacular plot, it just isn’t as deep in its character customization as it once was.

Perhaps the 'true' longest journey is the journey to find the unique narrative voice of video games. Tornquist, in this regard, fails to merge interactivity with narrative, to unite the partners in the dance, but he sure knows how to weave a tale and develop characters.

None of the puzzle modes are individually at the pinnacle of the genre, however, and the trial-and-error-based gameplay might only appeal to enthusiasts.

Summon Night: Twin Age doesn't really take any new steps to advance the action RPG genre. Instead, it builds off of gameplay techniques that have been created in past games, creating an enjoyable but slightly used feeling.

It adds an invaluable community aspect to the game, which was badly desired by the AO faithful and includes a special new kind of epic battle that gives veteran players an entirely new challenge in the land of Rubi-Ka.

Wallace and Gromit’s second adventure is a success in my book. It was a short book though, only taking a few hours to complete…which is ok because it only makes the player want to check out the other episodes.

Moderately entertaining.

If you really want to get into the KoF series, but can’t deal with the low grade graphics, then pick up "KoF: Maximum Impact," but if you want a solid, fun, high-quality fighting game that delivers masses of playtime, then King of Fighters 2002/2003 is well worth the investment.

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.

In closing, Line Rider 2: Unbound is a fun, charming puzzle game that may fall victim to a steep learning curve, but remains enjoyable nonetheless.

Pinball games are usually hit or miss, and Pinball Hall of Fame is a hit… but only if you are into pinball as these games are usually only played by long time fans.

None of the games are of Street Fighter II or Golden Axe quality, but that shouldn’t discourage you from seeing what SNK has to offer, you might be surprised.

And yet, for all that I find wrong with this game, namely the lazy copy n’ paste treatment RotS has received, I still loved playing it. I could not put it down.

Soulstorm does many things differently than many of the other RTS games that have been released in the last ten years, and it does all of them amazingly well.

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.
