    TMNT's pitiful difficulty and technical shortcomings overshadow some solid platforming action.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mega Man Starforce is far from a bad RPG. It's just doesn't do anything that hasn't been done better before.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    While Lost in Blue 2 comes across as a carbon clone of its faulty predecessor, its small negligible improvements may prove intriguing to discerningly patient fans of the series.

    The idea is sound, but the execution most definitely isn't.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The bottom of the barrel for real-time strategy games.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Still a fairly average game, but if you just must own one either the console version or the PSP version then the PSP version is the better choice.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Fatal Shadows isn’t awful, but it’s simply too primitive for anyone else but Tenchu fans to bother with in this era.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    The DS version of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent was doomed from the start, given the terrible game upon which it was based.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rocky Balboa is a good boxing game and a fitting commemoration for the franchise, but there just isn't quite enough here.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wii Play excels at what it sets out to do, and as a package deal with a Wii Remote is a no-brainier purchase for new Wii owners.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Under-use of the Marvel license, focus on style over substance and a rushed developer have ensured that Marvel Nemesis will be the turkey of the EA holiday lineup.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Rabbids: Alive and Kicking is a collection of party games that's worth picking up if you plan on playing with others, but if not, only hardcore Rabbids fans need apply.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A severely outdated action game draped in the richest of modern presentation.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Driver 76 is nothing more than another generic attempt at a free-roaming action game with very little in the way of redeeming features.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    As yet another uninspired victim of its now dated and unwelcome subject matter, Frontline: Fields of Thunder completely misses the bounds made in today’s PC real-time strategies.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    As a change of pace, Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu works reasonably well, though still manages to stumble on some of the typical card-game pitfalls.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Full of glitches, boring modes and a poor frame-rate at times. We have given it exactly the same score as "DRIV3R" and who actually enjoyed that game? Avoid it and you’ll be happy, and we’ll be happy.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    NASCAR 08 feels very bare, though there is still a reasonably good foundation for EA to build upon for future years.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Boogie is a nice looking package, but the gameplay simply doesn't stack up to the competition. Very stylish, but way too simplistic to be taken seriously.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    With the wonderful "Street Fighter 3" and "Guilty Gear X2 Reload" on the Xbox, there's really no need to even touch this despite its low price.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    If this is the best example of the PSP’s capabilities, the developers are better off making a different game because the load times/screens make the game lose portable appeal and a lot of functionality as a game in general.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Even though most players have been here and done this, Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 actually provides reasonably portable hack-and-slash action. That is, if you can put up with it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    EyePet on PSP is cute, sure, but there isn't much you can do with it aside from simple, boring mini-games and unimaginative augmented reality gimmicks.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Faery is really quite a bland game with an uninspired combat system and basic storyline. Still, it does serve its purpose as a nice bit of eye candy.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends shows just how little milk Koei has left in the proverbial cow.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Legends has ruined many of the fun elements of previous Stronghold games, and reuses clichéd real-time strategy themes such as dragons and magic that really make no sense at all to the final product.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, as a recreation of the show works and has plenty to do, though there is no excuse for it being worse than its predecessors.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    A budget title that very much feels like a budget title. The interface is clunky, the gameplay can be slow and each title has a few problems, you've really got to enjoy these board games to get any fun out of this title.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ultimate Board Game Collection is a decent game, but it's still a little bit overpriced for our liking.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A squandered opportunity. Too many bad design decisions overwhelm a potentially solid little game. Hopefully, though, this won't be the last we see of W40K on the DS.
