    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.

    Defendin DePenguin is definitely aimed at the younger crowd, and its audio-visual style may turn off older gamers and genre veterans.

    If you've ever played mahjongg solitaire then you've already played Mahjongg Artifacts. If you like spending money on games you could get for free, go ahead and buy it for the portability, it's definitely not the worst game out there and it is a really good time waster. Just don't expect more than what it really is.

    While the game does something new and is perfect for a quick game session on the way to work or on a break, it lacks the potential to be anything more.

    The game’s pacing, gameplay goals, and presentation might be a little too slow for today’s younger gaming age.

    Despite its flaws, any fan of Star Fox should play through Star Fox Assault, but don't be too quick to pawn off your copy of "Star Fox 64" on eBay.

    If you are fan of point and click adventures, there is absolutely no reason why you should not buy this game even with the shoddy programming code.

    E2A is a game you should stay away from, but parents will buy this for there kids anyway because they know what they are getting: a non-violent children’s game.

    A good choice if you're looking for something that is the complete opposite of the latest offerings of shoot'em, smash'em, kill'em brand of games.

    Retailing at the budget price of $20, you might want to take a second glance at this game, pun intended… And if the game’s higher difficulties are not challenging enough, trying downing a few shots and a couple beers to give this game that pub-like feeling.

    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.

    Blood Stone is a straightforward and plain 3rd person experience and is hard to recommend beyond a weekend rental. But this weekend rental should be an enjoyable one, although shortly lived.

    Granted, Xbox Live capability is a great incentive, but considering the pedigree the Samurai Shodown series has of quality fighting games, its biggest fans will come away from this game wanting more.

    For the price, Unsolved Crimes isn’t bad.

    As a whole, Women's Murder Club: Games of Passion was a laid back and interesting game for the Nintendo DS.

    It is not that this game is bad, it is just a little harder to justify a purchase when Guitar Hero does so much more.

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

    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.

    Pipe Mania is an okay game possibly worthy of a rental for big fans of puzzle games, but it doesn’t have the staying power of games like Tetris, Columns, Braid, and Boom Blox.

    All in all, Neo Contra plays like any 2D action game that goes vertical: less than it should. The game carries the name Contra, but the similarities in where it would count end there.

    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.

    Just an average shooter.

    At a reasonably priced $15, this game is bound to have some replay value if not only for the fact that, in order to get any enjoyment out of it, it must be played long enough to build up a character that can withstand a gunfight.

    It’s nice to see the addition of vehicles, though they’re not as fun as you'd expect.

    The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon is one of those games you really want to love to play, but it is impossible to ignore all the flaws in the programming and design.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    The combat, plain and simple, feels hurried. That isn't excusable. Add in the fact that there are just so many great fighting games available on the Live Arcade right now, and there's no reason to even consider buying this game.
