    In the end, Juiced may go down as a great rental, and a solid racing game. But otherwise it falls into the background as just another underground racing game.

    The game that we have been waiting for. It is the best GTA game on a portable system and it made a smooth transition from console to portable.

    An average card-based game. If you are a big fan of the cartoon series and you collect the cards then you should not be disappointed.

    Of all three Midway Arcade Treasures games, this is the one that probably has the most amount of games you won't want to play for any length of time.

    Frustrating, when things like camera angles get in your way the game starts to loose any fun that you may have been having.

    The environments are beautiful and highly detailed, also are the destructible elements like the vehicles, trees and newspaper stands.

    It stars popular characters, makes good use of music and sound effects, and has a lot of gameplay variety. Add those things together with some nice looking graphics, and you've got a solid title.

    While Nightshade does have its positives, they are far outweighed by the negatives. The hours of frustration because of the difficulty made me want to pull my hair out times. It’s a shame too because this title had so much potential that it didn’t fulfill.

    If you want to play some great classic arcade games, this is your game.

    Pandora Tomorrow, when compared to most GBA ports of console games, is a triumph. You can tell that the developers really took the time to make a game that is worth playing, not just slapping a Splinter Cell label on a half-hearted game.

    The Legends Tournament alone is reason to own NBA Jam.

    If you own a DS, buy it. If there is a gaming bone in your body, you will be more than happy with the purchase. I don’t know if I would call Lost Magic a system seller, but put the game together with the new DS Lite and you’ve got a pretty compelling argument.

    The levels, though beter designed this time around, still aren’t interesting enough to enjoy playing through.

    Aside from the huge disappointment from multi-player and the long load times from levels, the game is great.

    If you have one of the other games in the series, and you're not a die-hard Hunter: The Reckoning fan, you probably don't need this game. Unless you feel the need to play through a different story, you'll pretty much have the same experience as you did with the other games, but with worse graphics.

    While the game itself is short, the levels are pretty long; and there are no checkpoints at all! This is a massive pet peeve of mine.

    With a little more work on reforming the look of the title, tightening up movement orders in the 3D environment, and finding an easier on the eye way of presenting all of the information they manage to do at one time, Squad Assault could develop into an impressive franchise.

    This is such an improvement over "WWE Raw" it's not funny.

    I was glad to see so many different modes, but the only two that were really worthwhile were Story and Memories. Add that to the shoddy graphics and terrible music, and you have a below average game.

    If you like fast and furious shooters that are based on cool Anime flicks then this game should be just right up your alley.

    No, the game doesn't look as good as a "SOCOM II," but the gameplay I think is pretty solid, and it's got some really good online play to it.

    It takes everything you love about "Grand Theft Auto," and adds gameplay to it...[but] I simply can't get into [the PC version] when you don't even have a choice to use a controller. So I am sticking with my console versions for now.

    If you're above the age of 13, you may find this game extremely boring, and somewhat lackluster. It's got the makings of a fun-filled 3D fighting game, but it just unfortunately doesn't deliver like it should.

    The arcade controller is really cool, and the tunes are jammin. The only big issue with the game I have is it's difficulty. You get a little into the game and it just gets too hard to play.

    A great squad based title that sparks enough nostalgia to pay homage, but strikes out in new territory to possibly restablish the original mismanaged franchise. UFO: Aftermath has some of the best combat and control systems seen in games of this type over the last year.

    It's not groundbreaking, but it doesn't have to be. Kids don't care about that. They care about having fun playing it, and I think that is where Activision has succeeded here.

    If you are looking for a game to play for a few minutes when you get home from work to blow off some steam without asking you to think or work to hard, then this might just be a game for you. However, if you want a game that will push your skills to the limit, then you will quickly get bored with this game.

    It has the great gameplay from the original, a new story more, and still looks great. But yanking out the big online feature that made me jump for joy, I can't give the game the same score.
