A fun little game. It does a great job of keeping everything that made The Sims so interesting on the PC. However, the game isn't as well suited for consoles as previous Sims games were. The removal of a real story mode is certainly a detriment. The actual gameplay is top-notch as always, though.

Overall, Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors is quite fun to play, especially for fans of the movie or the first game.

The gameplay is reminiscent of "Ghost Recon" and "SOCOM" but much more action-packed. Before you’re done, you have destroyed important Iraqi locations and helped your teammates survive.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a superb action game especially for fans of the character. This is the Wolverine game that fans have been waiting for. It’s not incredibly varied and a lesser game would have suffered because of this but Wolverine is just incredibly fun.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is certainly the most refined game in its series (including its prequel and the X-Men Legends game before it).

It has solid gameplay, a good presentation and a nice ranking system that makes you want to replay levels.

The game’s soundtrack is good, fitting the happy nature of the game. The sound effects are plentiful, especially the ambient effects like birds chipping in the background and Harry weeping when he enters dark places.

NBA Live 08 doesn’t add a whole lot of new modes, but the stronger gameplay goes a long way. The improved, more realistic gameplay, coupled with the excellent presentation package make NBA Live 08 a must-have for basketball game fans.

The game’s visuals are awesome. The characters are sprite-based and extremely faithful to the show it is based on.

It’s a very fun, engaging game that fits in with Sony’s casual positioning for the PS2.

The game includes tons of gameplay, a plethora of Marvel characters, a great presentation, and successfully balances the action and RPG elements, while letting players choose just how much they want to micromanage. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance has something for everyone.

But ultimately how much you personally enjoy Guitar Hero: Aerosmith depends on how much you like the band. If you love Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is easily the best Guitar Hero yet.

Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is an incredibly fun game and one that will definitely keep you entertained until Guitar Hero V arrives.

While there is nothing particularly wrong with it, it just doesn’t do much beyond what is expected in terms of actual gameplay.

The game's single-player campaign is enjoyable despite some questionable design choices, and the multiplayer is capable, as well. That said, while Finest Hour is always good and often times great, it never quite reaches excellence.

If you can get a group of friends who don’t mind, the game becomes insanely fun. And those videos can later be used for blackmail.

The game was designed to play in short bursts on the PSP, and it’s still superior on that platform. If you don’t own a PSP, though, Mercury Meltdown Remix is still a solid puzzle title.

Many of the new features are well-received and while the others will take some getting used to, this is undoubtedly a move forward for the franchise.

NBA Live 08 doesn’t add a whole lot of new modes, but the stronger gameplay goes a long way. The improved, more realistic gameplay, coupled with the excellent presentation package make NBA Live 08 a must-have for basketball game fans.

It’s one of the rare times where you should purchase both the console versions and the PSP version since both offer different yet extremely compelling racing.

As a fighting game, it’s very flashy and somehow shallow, but fans of the cartoon will appreciate this as well as the careful use of the license.

Undoubtedly a fun little platformer. The game boasts respectable gameplay, and an impressive audio-visual combination, as well as a comical plot from the folks at Dreamworks. There’s plenty to do in the levels, and plenty to unlock for a second play through.

Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground is easily the best Tony Hawk game to date. Everything from the varied career mode, new gameplay features and video editor come together in a great, cohesive package.

The Third Age, the company’s entry into the traditional RPG genre, takes some liberties with the Lord of the Rings story but matches it with conventional RPG gameplay to produce a compelling RPG.

Your enjoyment of Excite Truck will depend on how often you want to bust out the game for multiplayer purposes.

Combined Assault takes the already great multiplayer and adds a solid single-player component to the game. It’s a no-brainer.

While Scrapland is not without faults, namely the repetitive missions, the game is recommendable thanks to its charming nature, technical dominance.

The presentation isn't enhanced by the highly compressed FMV interviews, either. There are only a few too which is a shame.
