When it comes down to it, Shining Force Neo is an average title with a couple of nice game mechanics.

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.

It's a disgrace to see such prime material squandered over such a mediocre game. While it's not horrible, it could have been much cooler.

Section 8 mixes many elements from previous games in the genre, and actually does so pretty well, but the control issues, overall weapon imbalance, and even slight learning curve prevent this game from being all that it can be.

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.

Military Madness has the potential to please its remaining fans, but bringing newbies into the fold might be weighed down by the gravity of the game’s antiquated gameplay.

With it short gameplay and high action, Wet will make the perfect weekend rental, especially if jacked up on Code Red Mountain Dew.

Although there are many "this could have been better" elements in Hoopworld, it contains short bursts of entertainment once the goofy control scheme is learned.

While most of SNK's compilations have been fighting game-exclusive, this one brings everyone else into the fold. Check it out, people. It’s worth picking up.

The game is bogged down by a slew of issues that simply negate any true aspirations to master this game.

Aside from the aerosol adept and the just plain curious, Getting Up holds little appeal.

With a total of twelve levels, including two bosses, Swarm may not be the longest game in its price range, but you'll be replaying each level at least a few times in order to collect the five DNA strands scattered across each needed to unlock the bosses, as well as to earn those coveted Death Medals.

Gamers who like a little more structure in their FPS's, like Halo's mixture of skill with rock-paper-scissors combat based gameplay or Gears of War's stop-and-pop shooting mechanic, should definitely look else where.

If you want to get back to your FPS roots and have a good time fragging with friends, pick this game up…no really please pick it up. I'd like someone to actually play online.

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 overly cryptic and many-layered interface, particularly the combat and leveling systems might well appeal to the more hard-core gamers out there. However, this facet of the game is so very difficult to learn even the basics of, that it may drive away the casual gamer—quite a strange choice for a game that’s doubtless counting on broad fan appeal for its bread and butter.

One word sums up CTTR... average.

The half-decent and fairly challenging gameplay is offset by shoddy graphics, horrible sound, poor voice acting, and shallow character design.

For even a huge fan of the series like myself, you can't consider Dynasty Warriors 5 anything more than a letdown.

The Metal Slug package should be purchased by the most hardcore of fans only.

If you and three of your Live friends are looking for a game to pickup that allows you to blow a lot of stuff up with fun weapons you can’t go wrong with this purchase.

For those not familiar with the Sokal’s previous games Sinking Island can probably be skipped. But for those that are willing to overlook the faults and truly enjoy the process of figuring out just what is going on in Sinking Island it is reasonably priced enough to warrant trying out.

Brink breaks my heart. It has all the ideals and elements to create a balanced and enjoyable multiplayer experience, but just lacks that final coat of polish that puts the shine on the packaging. Playing multiplayer with a group of your buddies might be good for a few hours, but in the end, you will go back to the Left4Deads, Halos and CoDs.

When you take a look at this game as a whole, even fans should be able to see the basic gameplay, last-gen graphics, and linear plotline.

In the end, his sassiness may save the day, but perhaps Blinx realizes that he, like the rest of us, is just along for this ridiculous ride. If Microsoft was looking for a system mascot to equal the likes of Crash, Mario, or Sonic, then they'll have to keep looking.

Hexyz doesn't do anything at all wrong, but it misses the mark pretty clearly on doing almost anything very well.

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

With nothing truly new or original to be offered, many hardcore gamers may be put off, but if you're looking for light-hearted or semi-quick gaming sessions GTA: Advance is perfect.
