With a meaty single player mode and a fluid gameplay model, FIFA Street 3 for the DS is a surprisingly competent package.- Thunderbolt

Everything feels crafted with care, and it's a fun and stylish strategy game.- Thunderbolt

An interesting experiment in genre-bending. Unfortunately, the process wasn't handled with enough care for the result to be anything more than an interesting interlude in between sessions of Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3.- Thunderbolt

The machine gun fires with the same "oomph" that you'd expect if you were firing a pellet gun. There's no power to the shots.- Thunderbolt

There are simply no redeeming features to justify recommending Griffin's Story, even for people who are inexplicably fans of the movie.- Thunderbolt

In the grand scheme of things, they mean so very little because every waking moment spent in St Mystere is an absolute joy to behold.- Thunderbolt

If you’re ready for some fun multiplayer action and don’t mind a single-player side not as robust as some other puzzlers, Poker Smash is ready for you.- Thunderbolt

Turok may not be original, or genre-bending, but it is a great deal of fun. It's the classic summer movie syndrome: sure, it won't win the Oscar, but it's still a movie worth seeing.- Thunderbolt

Devil May Cry 4 doesn't concern itself with much outside of fighting, and here the focus and dedication shines through with a solid and ridiculously in-depth battle system, rivalling even that of modern fighting games like Tekken and Soul Calibur.- Thunderbolt

For what it’s worth, you could do a hell of a lot worse than The Spiderwick Chronicles. It seems perfectly happy to get through the six or so hours of game time merely meeting criteria to an acceptable standard and never anything more.- Thunderbolt

Even little tasks, such as assigning new officers to freshly conquered fiefs become annoying. Running an empire is no easy task, and I didn’t find it particularly appealing in Nobunaga’s Ambition: Rise to Power.- Thunderbolt

Its depth and flexibility are great for letting a player define their own experience but are also part of a laundry list of features that will discourage the new strategy player from exploring this universe.- Thunderbolt

Building zoos is a piece cake and there are enough options to satisfy most players. Serviceable graphics detract from the experience, as do technical limitations, but those can be forgiven.- Thunderbolt

One of the most incoherent, bat-sh.t mental videogames ever created has just got itself some clarity – magical.- Thunderbolt

Admittedly, PixelJunk Monsters doesn’t offer too much different from many tower defense titles, but what it lacks in originality it more than makes up in polish.- Thunderbolt

Much like the career of English sprinter Dwain Chambers, this title seems like a great opportunity missed, as sheer laziness becomes a huge enemy, and a lack of variation takes its toll.- Thunderbolt

Paradise is a success because of it's originality within the Burnout series. Innovation isn't always EA's strong suit, but much like "skate," Paradise is an all-new concept that pays off, big time.- Thunderbolt

No More Heroes joins the ranks of other video games that were too smart and/or bizarre for their own good. Gamers who enjoyed the head trips that were "Metal Gear Solid," "Katamari Damacy," and "Persona" will feel right at home with No More Heroes.- Thunderbolt

If you have any interest in strategy warfare games whatsoever, then do yourself a favor and get this game. It’s a wonderful departure from the happy-go-lucky Advance Wars games of old.- Thunderbolt

It's a great MMORPG, and while it begins as a fairly overwhelming experience, it soon evolves into an almost casual game.- Thunderbolt

I suppose things could've been worse: they could've done a poorly emulated version of the Intellivision hit "Maze-A-Tron."- Thunderbolt

It’s cheap, plays well and is a nice little time waster. Unfortunately, it's a forgettable experience that will only occupy you for a few hours.- Thunderbolt

People may turn their back on this thanks to its 2D visuals and oddball soundtrack, but not sampling this small nugget of gold for yourself, for those reasons alone, would be not be sensible at all.- Thunderbolt

The tedious, unavoidable cutscenes and one-dimensional characters add little to the experience, regardless of the flashy graphics and vivid presentation.- Thunderbolt

The puzzle sections are great fun, and could have been their own game. As it stands, however, the Race mode just doesn't cut it.- Thunderbolt

An excellent game. With amazing graphics, a steady framerate and keyboard and mouse support, the PS3 version of UT3 is a worthy companion to its PC counterpart.- Thunderbolt

Essentially its predecessor with more characters, more challenging content, minor gameplay tweaks, and better controls.- Thunderbolt

A solid, proven shooter, Galaxies is an excellent way to kill time, as well as one of the DS's better shooters, unlike, say, Metroid Prime: Hunters, which tended to feel a bit clunky at times.- Thunderbolt
