    This one should keep the kids occupied for a weekend or two but will not be a game that holds a players interest a long time.

    Come for the charm. Stay for the roguelike learning experience. Endure for an insomniac's cure.

    Sight Training is an okay title, those who want to feel better about their eyesight will probably get a bit out of the game, but the exercises do become repetitive, which is not a good thing when you'll be doing the exercises every day.

    Although it’ superior to the PlayStation 2 version, there still lacks an overall polish and depth to make it stand out from the crowd. Best left for die-hard fans only.

    Average. Not exactly bad, but not any good, either.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Such a broken game that you'd be better off waiting for NBA Live 08 to hopefully rectify some critical issues.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon fails to avoid the movie tie-in trap, but it's functional gameplay will satisfy anyone who wants to know more about the titular movie and has low expectations.

    A serviceable adventure game that does a few things new but is unlikely to tide anyone over or bring back renown to the adventure genre.

    The Time Crisis: Razing Storm compilation is a really mixed disc – for those seeking out a light gun game that implements the Move controller well, it will only be partially satisfying, given the weakness of Razing Storm's motion controls. Thankfully, the package is partially saved by the controls and fun factor of Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates especially.

    Unique and engaging foundations wrapped in a package that fails to capitalise on the potential. If content is king, then this is a pawn.

    • 55 Critic Score
    Combat can be repetitive and duels are boring. The game can be a lot of fun, the game just isn't as enjoyable as we'd hoped.

    Battle of the Bands offers some casual fun, but if you're looking for an engaging rhythm game there's much better ones out there.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This once fantastic platformer title has been struck down into a very sluggish and amateurish conversion and leaves us here at PALGN questioning what exactly happened?
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sadly the novelty of the game quickly fades, making it painfully obvious that the core drawing mechanic isn't enough to sustain a full-length console title alone. Ultimately, the scribbly shenanigans of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter are far from picture perfect.

    • 55 Critic Score
    Dungeons & Dragons Tactics may just have enough for fans but it's otherwise too slow and restrictive for anyone else to be interested.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Ultimately, Front Mission Evolved isn't a particularly satisfying title for those who are fans of the series, mech games or even third-person shooters in general. It might be worth a rental if you're a fan of pyrotechnics, but other than that, expect an utterly mediocre title.

    A disappointing title and a poor addition to the Rush franchise, the Rush series is better left in our memories now.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    TRON: Evolution is a generic and competent action game that will appeal to fans of the franchise the most.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Kids who loved the movie will like the game. Everybody else will be bored to tears.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An enjoyable gameplay experience - but it's all over far too soon.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Broken in both single and multi player, Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2 is a barrel full of missed opportunity.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    John Daly's Prostroke Golf works as an example of the PlayStation Move, but ultimately fails in every other aspect. The core gameplay is good, but overall isn't enough to sell a package that is put up against other far more successful golf franchises.

    • 65 Critic Score
    The fans of Bleach will get a kick out of Bleach: Soul Resurrección, for while at least. Anyone else need not bother with it.

    Jackass The Game is a game that is enjoyable while it lasts, but once you've completed it there isn't much reason to come back and play the title again.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Two gameplay styles, both under-implemented. Only fun for those who don't mind repetition.

    While you can find some enjoyment out of Pet Aliens, the overall product is fairly average despite its high points. Probably one for the die-hard fans only.
    • 58 Metascore

    Reasonably innovative and inventive, Alone in the Dark has some great elements, unfortunately these are hampered by an equal dose of awkward negatives, preventing the game from truly bringing glory back to the franchise's name.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity should please fans of the series, but everyone else will find its generic gameplay dull and repetitive.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    With technical problems that could retroactively plague any Crusade, Altaïr's Chronicles are best left forgotten.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Samurai Warriors 2 was a missed opportunity. It had a story, several characters and some multiplayer. Sadly, with low AI, shocking drawing distances and repetitive gameplay, it doesn’t stand out from the crowd.
