    I appreciate that they expanded the tricks, and added some real players to the mix. And the new Gamebreaker is nice. But overall the trick controls are just as difficult, if not more, than the first game. And not having online gameplay is a big big big issue for me.

    Just not as good as I hoped. And not having online gameplay is a big big big issue for me.

    It keeps the classic feel, but has enough new gameplay to make it solid. And it's the first real console-based Gauntlet game ever, which adds a new element to the 4 player co-op play that was a cornerstone of the series.

    Features some very good arcade-style gameplay that will somewhat take you back to the start of the videogame era, the days when you could play a arcade game for .25 cent, the days when you thought games like "Pac-Man" and "Pong" kicked ass.

    I have to say it's one of the more graphically impressive PSP games I've seen in the system's youth.

    A decent game. The graphics, sound and gameplay are all entertaining enough to keep most gamers happy. The challenge isn’t exactly that of Everest, but it is definitely worth one run through.

    The game looks great, no doubt about it, but it controls terribly, and just isn't any fun to play.

    Music and sounds are solid, but Harry Potters voice is like a cheese grater on the brain.

    Midway and Pitbull Syndicate missed a golden opportunity to really give "Burnout Revenge" a run for it's money, knowing what I know about the series. But instead, this game goes after "Midnight Club." And it does it without online gameplay, which I can't figure out at all.

    The biggest problem is that there is no online gameplay. And for the more experienced and hardcore adult gamer, this game will get boring very quick[ly].

    Graphics are not very great though, and coming from Sega I was very disappointed. Also I wish that you could have been able to do more as well in terms of gameplay.

    Just all over the board in terms of gameplay, graphics and sound. One minute you will enjoy it and the next you will be wondering what you miss because you are stuck and cant get to the next level.

    This game just ends up being a very mediocre FPS with the name "Robotech" slapped onto it. The controls are so-so, the voice acting is horrible and the music is very basic.

    So here is the game in a nutshell. For 20 bucks you get a solid playing game that you basically could have had for the last 2 years. And if you're a Slugfest: Loaded player, there's simply no reason to even bother with Slugfest 2006.

    One thing that I was kind of disappointed about with King Arthur is the fact that it goes by too damn quick. You basically hack and slash your enemies until the end, and that is pretty much what the game comes down too; hacking and slashing.

    The one thing that brings the game down in score is the still lanky graphics engine.

    For those who aren’t familiar with the series, you won’t find anything here that will knock you over. Without understanding how good the other games were, you won’t have the context to see this one as anything but a sub-par WWII game.

    This is a game that mom or dad can feel safe buying for their child to play.

    If you already have any zoo games, you can just skip this one, as it does little to add to the genre so it is not a “must have”.

    It’s the coolest Nam game of 2004.

    Until the next Shrek movie comes out (or we're treated to "Shrek Swamp Golf"), I'm going to close the story book on Shrek games.

    Given all its shortcomings this is not a title that I will be shouting about from the mountaintop.

    The younger generation will probably enjoy this one, but anyone who remembers Rocksteady and Bebop shouldn’t even bother.

    I am not usually one to judge a game based on its graphics, but it is unforgivable to have a game look this bad so late in the Xbox's life cycle.

    I wish I could say that a lack of true wireless online gameplay and sometimes frustrating controls would make me want to not play Splinter Cell: Essentials. But then I would be lying. The missions and the level designs make the game so fun overall to play that it hides some of the weaknesses in the controls.

    If you’ve never played a Tenchu game before, this is definitely not the one to start with.

    The bonus is the Virtual Training mode, where you and seven other players with Nintendo DS systems can download the game and go head-2-head for some killer carnage death matches.

    Wii remotes are in limited supply, and ten extra bucks isn’t a bad deal for the set.

    The Story mode was a great idea that just fell short in its execution. The fighting was a little bit shallow, but it was still fun.
