It's about as middle of the road as gaming gets and suffers from a few lazy design flaws, but is still oddly enjoyable.- PALGN

It’s a little rough around the edges and there’s not much in the way of variety here, but what it does do it does well.- PALGN

Aeon Flux is your standard movie to game adaptation. It's not terrible, it's just extremely average.- PALGN

Not bad for a TV tie-in, but sadly lacking when judged against the entire DS catalogue.- PALGN

Driver: Parallel Lines is better than it's predecessor but far too much of a Grand Theft Auto clone to be anything other than an average game.- PALGN

Mater-National features more of everything: more tracks and more opponents. It is a great game for kids and one of the best racing games on the Nintendo DS.- PALGN

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was on the right track but needed more time to be great. Only fans will find any enjoyment.- PALGN

If you're at all interested in puzzle games, you owe it to yourself to check out Myst. For those who've already played it, it's like taking a trip down memory lane... and stumbling over every stone in the path.- PALGN

SimCity DS is classic SimCity, but with a cluttered interface and a bunch of other minor annoyances.- PALGN

Enchanted Arms is something of a run-of-the-mill effort but it does enough differently and enough well to warrant a look.- PALGN

Earth Defence Force 2017 might be a little rough around the edges, but it offers non-stop action on a breathtaking scale.- PALGN

If you are looking for a console shooter on the handheld, then this is your best bet. It's unfair to expect more from the PSP when the demands are so huge, but the PSP is easily online ready, and Star Wars Battlefront II just doesn't feel the same without going online.- PALGN

Unremarkable, offering none of the flash or depth of other fighting games based on an anime license.- PALGN

While the action is at times shallow and clunky, WET provides gamers with light popcorn entertainment that's an arguably short, but fun ride.- PALGN

Magical Melodies doesn’t foal around. What kernels of entertainment can be extracted from its time-consuming gameplay are let down by lazy aesthetics and an overall confusing design for newcomers to the franchise.- PALGN

Although it sets a new standard by giving players the ability to change Wii remote sensitivity and button mapping, at the end of the day The Conduit is an average run and gun shooter.- PALGN

While the vision is pure, the final execution is anything but. However, purity has never been a requirement for some, and for anyone after a simple, if shallow Hawk experience on the Wii, this may provide the goods.- PALGN

An interesting marriage of RPG cultures, while Magnacarta 2 plays well and offers a lot, it suffers from a lot of the usual RPG follies.- PALGN

Rarely has a game so clearly demonstrated that 'less is more'. There's a great game here for those who know what it's about, but you have to wade through to it.- PALGN

Maniax isn't necessarily a bad fighting game, it's just that it has gradually been eclipsed by franchises such as "Tekken," "Soul Calibur" and "Dead or Alive."- PALGN

Ghost Squad isn't a revolution, or even an evolution of the arcade light gun shooter. The game is simple to play and the addition of a few Wii bonus options does add a little more to the package.- PALGN

While poor programming undermines the single-player, Operation Flashpoint: Red River offers an engaging and challenging cooperative experience for shooter fans of all levels.- PALGN

At its worst it can be as irritating as its recent predecessors, but when you’re sliding down the back of a dinosaur, skipping gracefully over deadly spikes and screaming through the air on little more than a beam of light the game is immensely fun and rewarding.- PALGN

A fun addition to the Buzz! Junior library, Dino Den is an entertaining romp that should keep the kids occupied, and enjoyed by the whole family should they want to give it a go.- PALGN

The game play is very varied, with every ten minutes bringing something new to be done. Stealth, action, platforming, all genres make some kind of appearance.- PALGN
