    The Tenchu series needs a series reinvention, but Z plays just well enough to warrant a look for anyone with a thirst for honourable blood.

    Call of Juarez has a few flaws but is still a solid game that's recommended to those who want a shooter but are sick of killing Nazis.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Even though it is unlikely to appease veterans for very long, Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek is a more than serviceable adventure/mystery game.
    • 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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Splendid graphics can't overcome the game's steep learning curve, irritating gameplay elements and overwhelming sense of familiarity.

    If you're a hardcore gamer, there are certainly better games to be spending your money on. If you have kids, or you're a fan of the movie, you could do worse, but the game likely won't keep you entertained for long.

    Mad Tracks not only feels like a game that's designed to get as much money out of consumers as possible, it also lacks a real sense of speed and feels uninspired.

    Just like the physics, the trained ear will noticed that all the engine noises are unique, and change with exhaust modifications. Not only that, but they sound just like the real thing, which will no doubt send motoring enthusiasts to their happy place.

    Shadowrun is a decent multiplayer with a great idea that needed some more time to be fully utilised.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 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.

    Crush is easily one of the PSP's best games, thanks largely to a fresh premise and highly addictive, brain-teasing gameplay.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Grand Phantasm isn't absolutely terrible, it’s just entirely bland.
    • 71 Metascore

    Mortal Kombat Armageddon hasn't changed much in six months. There are a few new bonuses and executing moves is done different but the game is still very enjoyable.
    • 60 Metascore

    Wartech: Senko no Ronde is a hard game to recommend to everyone due to its sheer lack of content but fans of this rare and dying genre should definitely check it out.
    • 79 Metascore

    A huge collection of some of the toughest, chewiest, and most enjoyable crossword puzzles around.
    • 47 Metascore

    Although Death Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom is by no means a bad game, it lacks an overall polish and a certain oomph to bring it in line with other DS games on the market.

    If you’re a fan of Marvel Comics or the trading card game itself, then you’ll want to pick this title up. Others should keep in mind it takes a bit of patience to learn the basic rules.

    There simply isn't enough in Naruto: Ninja Council, but only a select few who enjoy the multiplayer might be able to forgive this.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 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.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's a shame that a decent IP has succumb to so much average, derivative, and plain boring gameplay.
    • 66 Metascore

    Could this be the best game version of At World's End? Sure, but realistically that isn't too difficult. Good for a run-through.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The best retro compilation ever, even without many big names.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Shrek the Third is a typically generic movie tie-in. Children won't be fooled by the thin gameplay and been-there-done-that feel to the game.

    While it definitely isn’t GOTY material, it’s a solid game that’s worth playing and offers strong value for money. As long as you don’t mind bad voice acting and a limited score.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The brilliant yet poorly-executed premise, the mediocre graphics, and the surprisingly relaxing music - all meld together to make a pretty strange game.
    • 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.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    It's not that Heatseeker is a horrible game; it just never aspires to be anything more than an average one.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Poor camera? Check. Boring Combat? Check. Movie tie-in? Check.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    But we can safely say that even if you have the slightest interest in board games, it’s definitely worth the purchasing price, and we are definitely looking forward to some other big-name board games popping up on the Xbox Live Arcade in the future.
    • 62 Metascore

    An average affair with only minor high points. There’s a big emphasis on explosions which gets old too quickly.
