Put all doubts about how the control scheme fits with the Wii-mote aside, and just embrace the greatness of what this "realistic" Zelda.

A great launch title for the Wii. It demonstrates the Wii’s controls perfectly, even though it goes a bit over the top in the mini-games.

If you enjoy the genre like me, or if you like handheld games with 'a lot of tapping', you simply can't go wrong with the quirky troupe that is the Elite Beat Agents.

With virtually every facet of DJ featuring a sizeable amount of quality gameplay, it is no understatement to say that Activision’s latest offering is an undeniable success.

Its quirky cartoonish charm and simplistic, yet fun gameplay bodes well for anyone looking for a simple traipse through Cartoon Network.

If you enjoy Naruto or fighters in general, you can't go wrong with one of the final GameCube releases before Revolution day is upon us.

Despite the fact that Rocket Slime is somewhat of a Zelda rip-off, it’s still a solid title.

This is just a great game, hands down. It is a shame that some of the aspects like actually having to put effort into getting a Game Over remained put, but like I said before, this is a game geared more for our little brothers and sisters.

While not without flaws, SFC most definitely brings the franchise backs to its former glory.

It's mostly been done before and done well. 07 is really no different. You'll undoubtedly have a good time, and the game will entertain for a good while, but déjà vu will slowly permeate the whole experience. That's not necessarily a terrible thing though.

After completing the main story, another 50 levels in the main dungeon are unlocked. Not to mention the dialogue changes from playing with different characters and summons.

Break’em All is certainly worth a purchase, especially if you're an old-school gamer. It offers classic arcade action when wanting to kill some time.

But what is most important about the obvious simplicity of everything this game has to offer is that it really is just an enjoyable experience, flat out. You’ll find yourself trying to improve your old scores for the sheer joy and self-satisfaction. That is all you need to know to realize that this game is a fun one.

Magnetica is surely a decent piece of software to commence Touch Generations. While the whole 'being approachable by anyone' deal isn't entirely accurate here, the game is definitely something that many can delve right into.

While some may argue that it’s too short or lacks difficulty, I definitely have to disagree. I had my fair share of deaths and the replay value is heightened significantly if you collect the myriad of coins disseminated throughout the game.

The mixture of simple platforming and stealth make for an enjoyable experience, not to mention the fact that it’s a pleasure to look at.

Repetition presides, but the amount of things you can do keep you coming back. The controls are very simple and they only encourage you to play more because it is so easy to handle.

I suppose the best part of this game is the fact that it’s the first Tetris game in years that doesn’t suck, which unfortunately, is actually an accomplishment.

Astounding.

The main game is fun, depite being easy and short, and the added content from unlocking items adds a good amount to the title’s lifespan.

Overall, REDS delivers and fills fans’ hearts with hope for an even better sequel for the DS.

I'd love to see more platformers come out of their zany brains in the near future.

A really good game. However, it is definitely not for everyone, as the general lack of difficulty and slow start would put off many people, if the image hasn't already.

True Swing Golf easily outdoes Tiger Woods in the entertainment department, even if it doesn't host the excitement that the PGA can bring.

If you've got the patience and the drive, Mega Man X Collection is a fun title that challenges your gaming skills and gives you a good history lesson in the process.

Electroplankton is also one of those games for people looking for a change in game design or a form of innovation.

Whether you're a fan of Final Fantasy or RPG's, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up, especially if you haven't played it before in the other two versions.

If you’re thirsting for something else after playing "Advance Wars: Dual Strike," this game will easily fill your tactical appetite.

A game that will last forever. Regardless of whether you have human friends or are just playing the game alone, it will likely last you a long, long time.

Everything fans of the series would want after the disappointment from "Warrior Within."

But don't let the linearity fool you--Partners in Time is an excellent game no matter what platform it's running on.

A great DS game. The short and relatively easy story mode is still a blast to play through, and the other modes make it a fun game.

Any Sonic fan, or fans of sidescrollers in general, would be a fool to pass this game up. Sonic Rush is truly a blast to play and a fine example of what Sonic games should be all about.

If you have the ability to use the WFC and own a DS, I can’t stop recommending purchasing MKDS.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Gun, but I came out having a blast. While it's a short ride, beginning to end is an amazing experience.

Through and through, Donkey Kong Country 3 is a port of the SNES original title. While a fun title to play every once in a while, the short, linear levels can get a bit boring at times.

There's very little wrong with it (although that lack of a save feature is irritating) and a lot to love. If you like pinball games, this is the one to grab.

If you're new to the series, this game warmly welcomes you with its brutally easy difficulty. But steroid-using DDR veterans will dominate this game in a couple of hours, and won't give it a second thought.

The campaign mode generally lasts anywhere from 25 to 40 hours.

The diverse characters and humorous outbursts that occur in the courtroom are enough to make Phoenix Wright an enjoyable experience and what helps keep the player interested into it.

Everything looks great, from the character models to the environments. The game also has an amazing sense of speed.

Dawn of Sorrow is easily the killer app of the system’s short existence. If you own a DS, you must go out and buy this game. It’s more than worth your money.

Uses the Nintendo DS’s touch screen beautifully, and also has an awesome concept in its hands.

If you want replay value, then you probably want to count the 15 times you have replayed a level before beating it.

Gale of Darkness is one of those games that will use its claws to grab you by the gonads until you complete it.

As I like to repeat, if you have trouble with micro-management, Lost in Blue isn’t for you.

Frogger isn’t for everyone. While it’s aimed at kids, I find it funny that many kids won’t have the patience that is required to last throughout the levels.

I guarantee that anyone who enjoyed "X-Men Legends" will love Rise of Apocalypse.

Donkey Kong has never been more unique and ingenious in terms of gameplay. However, ridiculous difficulty, less-than-stellar multiplayer games, boring graphics, and level design that borders on the atrocious makes King of Swing seem more like Peasant of Swing.

Unfortunately, Battalion Wars fails horribly in the replay value department. While it is a fun game to play, it isn't exactly enough to make you play the campaign over again.

This is a great game to have if you enjoyed the Advance War or Fire Emblem games. While it isn't as good as those two games, the engine takes parts from both of the above-mentioned games and makes a great play for around 24 missions.

It doesn’t quite measure up to current DS standards in the presentation area, but other than that, it provides a very fun, laid back gaming experience.

I can’t help but say this, but Nintendogs will get boring if you don’t have others around to play it with. After you’ve mastered tricks, beat the competitions, and unlocked some cute accessories for your little puppy, everything will just be the same old thing again.

I’m still amazed at how full that tiny little DS card is full of information. I still haven’t even explained the extra modes.

The unique multiplayer modes offer a different type of multiplayer experience and can be a ton of fun for long term FPS fans. In addition (I reiterate this point), the style of gameplay is so rarely seen that I suggest everyone at least try it out before turning away from it.

Quite the interesting game, especially for one that is just a clone of a game from a few years past.

Despite having an incredibly short adventure mode (8 missions which last about 5 minutes each), Nanostray brings a surprising amount of content to the table.

Laced between the confusing story, unique gameplay, and interesting sounds is SUDA 51's dream of a game that breaks all boundaries and really tries something new and innovative.

When it’s all said and done, Meteos is by far the best puzzle game for the Nintendo DS platform.

While the story is nothing to pay attention to, the gameplay is what really shines here.

It takes a lot of time and effort to have the best experience. If you are like me and eat this stuff up like breakfast, Sacred Stones will last you 70 hours at a bare minimum.

One of the best GBA games I have ever played.

If you've heartily devoured Ruby and Sapphire, however, you're probably better off waiting until the next full-fledged new adventure to check out the latest improvements.

It's a great game but there just isn't enough to it to justify it being a buyable game, unless of course -- you're looking for a dose of nostalgia with an updated look and a neat twist.

Overly simplistic graphics and sound should have been worked on to make the final package feel more like an actual game, but alas it still felt like a glorified tech demo in the end.

As soon as you can get the hang of grabbing guards and completing the objectives, the game will fly by in a whirl of fun.

Even if its plot isn't original, its concept most definitely is. It's got a few major gameplay problems (namely boredom), but there's not too many flaws in its presentation.

The game’s plot keeps it interesting and the huge worlds keep player sucked in. The sloppy camera and tight controls can sometimes get you frustrated but the feeling will pass.

A larger variety of weapons than that in "Timesplitters 2," as well as more levels, characters, and challenges make this game very impressive and a welcomed addition to the series.

You've got to admit Rayman is incredibly cool, but no measure of awesomeness can cover up troublesome controls, average visuals and mediocre gameplay.

This game is unbelievably fun, despite certain longevity issues along with recycled boss levels.

Not even a masochist would venture through Konquest Mode more than once, and the Puzzle Kombat and Chess Kombat will only take you so far.

While I found just about everything likable, I never really felt "into" the game. This is probably due to my general distaste for sports titles.

Sure the difficulty of later puzzles can get on your nerves but all you need to do is take a breather and set your head straight and everything will be fine.

While you may find some of the game’s extras a bit gimmicky (as I did), they still offer a great deal of creativity.

The physics, the color combinations, the cut-scenes are just flawless.

Feels like racing Hotwheels with your buddies on steroids, speed, and a whole lot of caffeine.

Why play complicated b-ball when games like V3 utilize the basics so magnificently well?

The quick pick-up-and-play gameplay technicality will immediately pull you in. The cutesy graphics and sound set the game’s atmosphere nicely.

Offering 20 to 25 hours of splendid gameplay, RE4 is undeniably the greatest survival horror title on the market, and my new favorite game of all time.

Those feint of heart and stomach need not bother, there is enough blood and gore in this title to bring to Dracula his knees in nirvana.

Besides the game play extras and combat changes, both games thrive visually and the music sounds fantastic.

Control worries aside, I found tons to enjoy from the many mini games available to even the weak multiplayer mode.

Old-school gamers rejoice-VJ2 is somewhat of a second coming.

From the side scrolling gameplay to the unique level design to superb audio I really enjoyed Donkey Kong Country 2 as I never had the opportunity to play the original on the SNES, I'm glad I did now.

Other than playing on a harder difficulty, or during an attempt to recieve 100% completion (if that was missed out on the first time through), there isn't much of a replay value to the game.

Graphically, the game manages to trump even Metroid Fusion, which itself outdoes Super Metroid.

XIII just happens to be another unfortunate instance of a game that's great but no one bought.

Of course, it could very much be sleeper hit of the year or the most underrated game of all time.

Truly a great game. It's one of the best adventure titles for the Gamecube, and one that was horribly unnoticed.

The graphics in those cut scenes are better than what we had really seen in a tactical RPG up to that point.

Viewtiful Joe is an artistic playground. As an artist myself I can say this is interactive art.

Every character, human, demon, lizard, and Hylian, moves with realism.

The best part of Zelda games is having an entire world to explore however and whenever you want to. The latest incarnation completely delivers in this area!

Luckily, the sound more than makes up for any graphical shortcomings.

As far as extra features being a reason to own it on the Gamecube though, there isn't much incentive other than having the full series on the GCN.
