Despite some minor platforming quibbles, DreamRift's crafted a wonderful number that defies any generic description, and platformer/role-playing/adventure enthusiasts (hah) should definitely check it out.

There is some fun to be had in Deca Sports 3, and it's a sure-fire hit at parties. Not a hard-core sports simulator, but some lesser-known sports that don't get the full retail package are also nice to find here.

What's surprising about the different sports is how each one has a few different modes, meaning you don't have to play the same exact competition twice in a row. Most of them have three or more different variants, so you'd better sharpen up your skills.

The loading issues may plague the experience somewhat, but Raving Rabbids Travel in Time stands out on Wii in a crowded mini-game compilation field. The game works best as a family experience, aiming toward a younger demographic, but boasts some impressive online integration that even the most hardcore gamer will enjoy.

Everything about Donkey Kong Country Returns is so fluid and smooth. Retro constantly surprises players with new game mechanics, striking set pieces and tons of Donkey Kong charm. This title is quite possibly the definitive side-scrolling platform experience for Wii.

Ghost Trick also proffers a satisfying and rewarding conclusion, wrapping up quite nicely, even with a complex plotline (a rarity in gaming).

Sure, with its simplistic graphics, it's definitely a budget game, but it's one that actually deserves a place outside the bargain bin. Those worms want to be on top, after all.

Even with the rough edges, Supermarket Mania features a fun management time for spurt gaming. The title does not proffer anything remotely innovative, but achieves success in its smart controls and normalcy.

This is a pretty lifeless game that, while perhaps appealing to the hardcore National Geographic reader, will probably not hold much value for the rest.

The sequel takes everything loved about the original games and updates it for new hardware.

n-Space has been meticulous in its efforts to keep the Call of Duty franchise interesting on DS. Rather than trying to revolutionize the genre with every release, it has slowly been adding features and honing the gameplay to make each entry noticeably better.

Unfortunately, good artistic design just can't fully make up for a few glaring flaws. If you can see past those flaws, though, you'll find an enjoyable game that will help you waste a few hours. If not, this might be one to leave off your Christmas list.

With so much effort going into presentation, it seems like more could have been spent on tweaking the game mechanics.

It is a competent enough game that will generally please the monster truck fanbase, but it is also a fairly limited game that isn't as deep as it might appear.

Purchasing this title is contingent upon whether or not you have any other Namco Museum entry for GameCube or Wii and if you absolutely need your classic Namco fix. All others, it's probably best to stay clear.

For what it is, PokéPark Wii is an endearing little game that is sure to incite nostalgia in longtime fans of the series.

An improvement over the original in almost every way.

Super Scribblenauts shines with polish, cleverness and ingenuity.

Given the fact that this is the franchise's real debut on a Nintendo console and Wii's success in bringing in new gamers, Samurai Warriors 3 is going to be the first chance for many gamers to try this controversial series, and to those people I definitely recommend at least giving it a try.

For fans of Pac-Man and party games, this is a sure bet and would be a great game to get for households with multiple kids.

Aesthetic and functional design, boundless creativity, fantastic soundtrack.

Most importantly, Eurocom nails the Bond look and feel, letting Wii owners step into the shoes of the secret agent.

Sluggish controls, poorly designed weapons, lousy online functionality.

Like, it all feels like one of those LEGO-type adventures that I've heard so much about, only with more charm since it's got Scoob's and my personalities and all of the gang here to help out.

Ultimately, Warriors of Rock isn't bad, it just doesn't live up to the legacy and quality set by previous titles.

Kidz Bop Dance Party: The Video Game is not a bad game. In small doses it's actually pretty fun, but the more you play, the shallower it feels. It's one of those games that will be great for the target demographic, but everyone else should just leave it alone.

Great visuals and over-the-top hack-n-slash awesomeness.

It's a nice taste of a budget, licensed title that's actually much more decent than anyone might expect.
