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

A Pokemon fan will definitely get a kick out of it, especially if they like the collect-a-thon side quest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A mediocre story just doesn't cut it anymore, and this one is especially mediocre because they are presenting a story everyone knows and do nothing to spice it up to keep us interested.

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

Sure Yoshi was extremely innovative with its unique controls and I had fun but when does innovation mean that the overall game play experience to painfully short and lackluster? I felt cheated and so will tons of other DS players.

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.

The GBA just isn't made to support this much combat variety at the kind of pace Revenge of the Sith requires you to act.

Sure the FMVs look incredible and unnecessarily violent, but there aren't enough of them.

I can describe the overall feel of this game in one word: repetitive. Levels, enemies, graphics, music, almost everything feels repeated at least once in this game. It’s hard to even give this a rental, as the game lasts a few hours at most.

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.

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

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.

Yeah, it's a strange game.

Multiplayer mode is a blast, however single-player mode is useless when compared to the aforementioned.

By no means a terrible game, Madagascar is nothing more than a little above average. The only reason I even credit it with that is because I really enjoyed it for an hour. After that, the sloppiness just becomes too much to bear.

Those who aren't fans of mindlessly pressing a button to gain another level will be better off with another game this holiday season.

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.

When it comes down to it, I'd much rather take a short game with a great idea rather than a lengthy one without any innovation.

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

Even though it's short, and the backtracking can be tedious, I would still recommend this game. I wouldn’t recommend paying full price for it, however.

It's actually a decent clone of Castlevania gameplay mixed with good ship combat.

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.

Words can’t describe the boredom I feel just thinking about Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits, let-alone playing it.

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.
