The flaws hold the game back from being as entertaining as it could have been, yet its over-the-top take on a classic formula is worth more than a few laughs to fans.

For its time, Yie Ar Kung-Fu was the hottest game in town and played like it too, other than its control issues. The Xbox Live enhancements to Konami’s original ROM once again make this classic coin op title worth its cheapy asking price, especially to those who respect the family tree of video gaming.

It doesn’t seem like Playlogic dug in to finish the game, which left it to work (or not work) based on its gimmicks. Sadly, those gimmicks aren’t strong enough to maintain the game across its entirety.

Qix++ is fun, but may not be worth the investment to a lot of folks unless they’re willing to splurge for the DLC.

There’s some gruesome battling here, but nothing that’ll push you all that hard.

NARC, while flawed in many areas, still finds a way to provide some good quality fun for a budget title. The amount of humorous moments that are provided by the sheer volume of consumable drugs is great to see, and busting bad guys even has its moments.

Although maybe not pulled off with aplomb, Crusty Demons takes advantage of a developer's decent gameplay engine and musters up an entertaining extreme experience.

Fans of the movies will dig JAWS Unleashed for the most part I'm sure, but be ready to fight the controls as much as you fight the angry Amity Island residents.

All-in-all, Wing Commander Arena is what an Xbox Live Arcade game should be about- fast-paced pick-up-and-play action with a dash of depth. If you can live with being lost in space, and in only one plane of such a vast expanse, then download Wing Commander Arena post-haste.

We like that MXWT has higher priced features like custom soundtracks and a decent control set, but there just isn't a lot to do in this title.

Anemically lackluster gameplay and hideously sparse graphics do this game absolutely no service.

The trucks give a good sense of weight, but stay away from being too touchy as the game is very much an arcade style driving game. The game's trading system is fairly interesting and adds to the gameplay value, but the overall lack of depth enables the game to become too repetitive too soon.

Battlezone is definitely one of those old games that has been vastly surpassed by present-day titles, but it still has the gameplay appeal to make it worth a look.

An addictive mixture of fast-paced vehicular combat that combines a fluid arcade feel with vivid graphics, making it yet another worthwhile addition to the growing library of Xbox Live Arcade titles.

The simple fact of the matter is that the game has a lot of potential, but it’s ultimately critically wounded by poor gameplay design and one of the worst engines in recent memory.

I've gotten used to not expecting much from movie games, and when I played the final version of WALL-E, it met those light expectations.

There are some redeemable moments in Reservoir Dogs, including the bullet festivals and signature moves that each of the characters possess. The rest of the experience can feel a little clunky and undercooked, with plenty of weird little mishaps that blemish the game beyond the point of salvation.

The core gameplay isn't balanced or rewarding enough to warrant a purchase, but it will more than suffice for a weekend of mindless action.

It is apparent that Ubi Soft is taking the Rayman license for every dime it is worth and I am sorry to say that they came up really short this time.

Voltron's Survival Mode mechanic and shoot 'em up stages help try to keep the gameplay unique, but it is bogged down by uninspired base gameplay and a bizarre boss battle system. There are better dual stick shooters out there, but the amount of nostalgia they've packed into the game may make it a worthy purchase for Voltron fans.

What could have been a very unique and innovative title failed in several key areas. With a very clunky wrestling/fighting engine that will leave the player frustrated, and more than lackluster visuals, Backyard Wrestling needs plenty of touch-ups.

Bicycle Casino isn't up to current Xbox software standards, but it does offer online play, mediocre network code, and is also an exclusive on our beloved system.

Practically nothing works the way that it should. Guns are bad, the camera is worse, and the mature departures that the story takes from the rest of the series are truly what will have the fans raging on the message boards.

All the elements of this game add up to a game that should be rented not bought, bottom line.

Being a modern military aircraft lover, I can easily look over the sketchy graphics, the odd interfaces, and the brief missions and just enjoy the impressive lineup of birds. While it’s still hard to justify paying sixty bucks to fly a MiG, Eagle, or Raptor, this is as close as most of us will get to the real deals.

The perfect title for those fishing enthusiasts that would appreciate the sim-like experience and huge assortment of lures.

True fans of the Gundam universe will surely get their money’s worth out of Gundam 2, as will longtime followers of Omega’s Dynasty lineup. The rest of you will be better off with a rental at first, as the novelty of controlling a mech in large-scale, strategy-oriented skirmishes wears off quicker than one might imagine.

The arcade racing physics and handling engine by Rat Bag is about as sweet as the Lee's insignia orange paint.
