    SOCOM: Confrontation feels unfinished and unpolished, and could have been a whole lot more with a few extra coats of paint.

    Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow is a well-made 3D action RPG, but unfortunately, it ends up feeling like a poor man's Dragon Quest IX.

    The game just feels so dull and a real letdown considering the game’s amazing detail and depth.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There is plenty of content in the game, but the difficulty level and average controls may mean that most people don't see all that the game has to offer.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's ultra-realistic, and terribly serious. But so long as you know what you're letting yourself in for, and can invest the effort required, it should keep you glued for some time.

    Even with the backing of HC Andersen characters, the game fails to excel pass preexisting point-and-click adventure games.

    • 55 Critic Score
    Grand Phantasm isn't absolutely terrible, it’s just entirely bland.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A unique experience that improves upon the original in almost every way, but the excitement of the story is washed down by limited content.

    With some interesting and fun gameplay ideas, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War is worth playing for fans of this style of game. Unfortunately, its undeniable flaws will keep it from becoming the success it could have been.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Feels like a game with a lot of wasted potential. There are emulation issues and the game takes a long time to get into.

    Confusingly caught between the world of arcade and simulation, Shaun White Snowboarding provides a competent look at the snowboarding genre that will draw you in for a couple of hours, but won't compel you to stay on the mountain.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although a few hiccups are met along the way in the form of the touch screen elements, gameplay remains solid enough to keep you playing until the end. Multiplayer is the game’s saving grace.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's a missed opportunity weighed down by cumbersome and lacklustre design. The multiplayer provides some fun, but with Mario Kart on it's way, it's worth neither the hassle or expense.

    The King of Fighters XII is a brilliant fighting game at the core, courtesy of its fantastic new graphics engine and a solid 2D combat mechanics but the home version really could have been so much more.

    A very solid title for anybody with an interest in superbikes, SBK-08 makes a good debut on the current generation, despite perhaps being a little too complicated for the majority of gamers out there.

    Revenge of the Fallen is just a competent third-person shooter, with bland presentation, a fun multiplayer mode and some cool unlockables.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Fracture offers action fans something new, but unfortunately, it suffers from the same problems seen in countless other third-person shooters.

    Given the music quality and selection, it's a shame that Michael Jackson: The Experience is a little too demanding for the audience that it's aimed at.
    • 62 Metascore

    The "fans only" moniker is an awfully clichéd one, but players of Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles should not experience it any other way.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It fails in most areas due to its ordinary graphics, stupid A.I, and boring level design.

    MotoGP 07's sheer lack of content is offensive, given the asking price.

    A bit of disappointment for Dynasty Warriors fans and newcomers alike. A great deal of potential has been wasted.

    Uno Free Fall is a decent budget priced Game Boy Advance puzzle game. It may not be as fun as actual Uno, but it's easy to pick up and play.

    Silverfall is not particularly a bad game, it just is not a groundbreaking game in a genre that has had several heavyweights that still shine to this very day. The game has a handful of irritating bugs that you would typically never see in other games, and ultimately hurts the final product. There is still plenty of enjoyment to be found with Silverfall though.

    As a first attempt, TNA Impact! is a fun yet incredibly shallow showing for the little-wrestling-company-that-could. While the foundations are there for a potentially awesome sequel, this debut could definitely have used a bit more time in training.

    Mystery Dungeon is far from being a poor game by any standards, it’s just a game that makes terrible choices that limit its appeal greatly.

    • 55 Critic Score
    The only thing that barely saves this is that it's a four-player game with some light competitive play. Otherwise, it's eminently missable - wait for something better unless you absolutely must have a Wii-based four-player board game.

    If you can get past the potential motion sickness, you've got a simple but lengthy and engrossing adventure with Marathon: Durandal.

    An okay platforming game that provides some adequete platforming entertainment. Everything in the game has that same "been there done that" feeling, but as the game doesn't have any major flaws fans of the film and small children may find some fun in the game.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While the PS2 port of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters isn’t a bad game, it is still the worst game in the series and doesn’t live up to its predecessors. Probably best for die-hard fans only.
