Ultimately, Friend or Foe will not be confused for an epic and will likely be soon forgotten among Wii titles, but it is nevertheless a decent beat-em-up and is worth a rental or a bargain-bin purchase for co-op fanatics or hardcore Spidey fans.

Friend or Foe attempts to give players their ultimate fantasy of controlling the legendary webslinger and his infamous villains. However, redundant gameplay and level design are hidden behind a solid presentation with great voice-work and clean graphics.

It is groundbreaking in every sense of the word, and successfully bridges that gap between the hardcore and the casual. A feat that is in no way easy.

NBA Live 08 is a disappointment in no small part because EA impressed early with the sports potential of Madden 07.

Overall, Balls of Fury for DS delivers surprisingly solid touch control ping-pong action on the go.

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party is a solid entry in the series and a great place for the uninitiated to jump in.

Disc Sports as a concept has great potential. Sadly, this attempt fails to tap that potential and comes off feeling half-baked. Golf is playable, but that's about it. What's sad is that with a critical eye and bit more polish, it could have been truly stellar.

New and old interwoven, Sonic Rush Adventure is a shining example of what a sequel can and should be.

With bolstered controls and a development system as deep as most RPGs, Tiger Woods is still the game beat when it comes to golf.

For portable golf, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 has it where it counts. Its flaws should encourage a cautious purchase, but in many respects, the robust multiplayer makes up for it.

While most shooters transport players inside a character's head, Corruption throws players inside the entire suit by giving the complex Samus realistic controls.

Madden NFL 08 isn’t the quantum leap that last year’s version was, but in most respects, it’s better.

Football is finally good on DS. Madden NFL 08 is solid where it counts, and the small problems that do exist aren't bad enough to pull the game down.

For most people, High School Musical: Making the Cut will feel like a sandwich with no meat.

Mega Man Star Force can be either good or bad, depending on how you approach it. If you want something that's completely different and pushes the envelope, you'll likely be disappointed with the end product. On the other hand, if you've grown accustomed to Capcom reinventing its franchise series by increments, you might just warm up to Star Force.

Like SSX Blur, Boogie is another audio-visual feast with flawed gameplay.

Ultimately Mario Strikers: Charged is worth buying.

Those looking for a serious RPG effort or a robust multiplayer, however, should hold onto their $50 for now.

The title's design is too flawed to recommend it for purchase, so make a deal with yourself and avoid buying this game.

It's a poor port of a poor Flash game at an unreasonable price. Quite possibly the worst handheld video game ever.

The problem is that Chicken Shoot isn’t $5.

Sadly, the beauty is only skin deep, and the core content of the game is really a disappointment. The game is very short and the missions are poor.

At the end of the day, Decepticons comes out feeling half-baked.

The ultimate version of, what some perceive to be, the greatest action game ever made.

In the end, loyalty to the movie plot is what weighs Transformers: Autobots down. Still, Autobots is the version to buy for REAL Transformers fans.

Essentially, Time Ace is a flawed, but fun 3D shooter that values action over realism, which is fortunate, since time travel isn't much of a down-to-earth concept to begin with.

With a variety of modes, great stylus control and online play, Intelligent Systems has come up with a puzzle game that's hard to beat.

It may be subtle, but they add a spritz of freshness to what many feel is a stale series, and is reason enough to purchase Mario Party 8, especially for those holding out for something new in the franchise.
