Some of the best stages in the game are ruined by gimmicks and poorly implemented ideas. It doesn’t make Nervous Brickdown a poor title, but it drags it down from being a truly great Breakout adaptation. Sometimes simplicity is a good thing.- Thunderbolt

A great example of how licenses can work in videogames when given time and devotion, something that you can give in return for this brilliant piece of video gaming.- Thunderbolt

Unfortunately, stellar graphics can’t save Pokemon Battle Revolution from utter mediocrity.- Thunderbolt

The gameplay is broken in countless ways and the A.I. is comical at best. It's an ugly, unoriginal, inadequately tested and terribly implemented mess that has no place in anyone's game collection.- Thunderbolt

The fact that it is built upon completely ordinary tasks may seem pointless, but it's all the more believable for it.- Thunderbolt

It may be a little short but the replayability comes in from the extra difficult levels and their newly gained in-game bonus features.- Thunderbolt

The graphics are some of, if not the, best I've seen on the system, and the variety of racing available ensures that you'll never be bored or wanting more.- Thunderbolt

While the WiiMote combat can be a little flaky, it still outclasses the clunky, unintuitive controls of the original.- Thunderbolt

For the short time that the game does last it is an example of how Live Arcade titles should be done and how an old game can be refurbished, yet still retain a nostalgic edge to please all types of players.- Thunderbolt

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 is a fairly enjoyable game, with a really attractive and striking visual style and presentation. It’s brought down by undeveloped town sections and cheap fighting tactics, but if you are a fan of the animé then this is worth a look.- Thunderbolt

Being able to apply a world that has already dug itself into the minds of many thousands of Al Pacino fans is something that shouldn't be passed up on, and then giving those extra little things to be that Tony Montana with thousands of wasteful dollars is a joy. It's a world that shouldn't be wasted.- Thunderbolt

For fans of serious stealth, the title is a must buy. Less hardcore gamers will probably be better off with something more mainstream, but if you're trying to understand what "cult classic" means, Tenchu is probably a safe bet.- Thunderbolt

The frustration of the platforming and stealth in Billy's levels is too much to go unnoticed, but thankfully the villainous Uncle Ray saves the day with his rootin' tootin' shooting action.- Thunderbolt

Unless you value multiplayer competition, Pac-Man’s latest effort is one that is worthy of attempting, and may just allow you to become infected with ‘Pac-Man Fever’ once more.- Thunderbolt

It is a great time killer but the mental challenge of the game makes me feel like I’m actually doing something, a feeling I don’t get from many other games.- Thunderbolt

Maybe the fans will find something enjoyable about controlling their favorite heroes via a randomized deck of cards. For the rest of you, go play some Solitaire. You deserve it.- Thunderbolt

Fans of the original Panel de Pon may be put off by the adult-oriented presentation and lack of a story, but the sheer amount of options make up for it.- Thunderbolt

While the visuals leave something to be desired, they're easily overlooked thanks to the brilliant job the developers did with the actual gameplay. And really, isn't that all that matters?- Thunderbolt

Dr. Reuben’s inaugural experiment is no failure, and just like with all well performed experiments, Crush delivers a satisfactory result and serves to enlighten us on what the bright future holds.- Thunderbolt

A truly different experience in many respects, but the repetition is frustratingly similar to that of countless other games.- Thunderbolt

It’s not that the Art of Fighting Anthology is necessarily bad. It’s just that its games haven’t aged well.- Thunderbolt

It’s just a real shame that the PC port was subjected to a half-arsed effort, because on consoles Resident Evil 4 has revitalised a stagnating series.- Thunderbolt

Perhaps the only disappointment that comes with Calling All Cars! is the lack of content. With only basic offerings online and offline, it feels sort of empty.- Thunderbolt

With Tiberium Wars finally correcting so many of the problems that have beset the genre since its console inception, it would be hard not to recommend this as a purchase to any 360-owning strategy fan.- Thunderbolt

It's a shallow, lazily-upgraded and rushed game that could have done with being taken back to the drawing board at an early stage to better encompass the power of the new hardware on offer.- Thunderbolt

I'm sure that younger gaming fans especially, will be able to appreciate swinging around in pajamas. The rest of us can find an entertaining game hidden underneath a pile of little flaws.- Thunderbolt

Although the depth of the gameplay is barely knee-deep making Super Rub-a-dub not quite the splashing debut as was hoped, it’s still rollicking, simple fun while it lasts and quite possibly the best way to play with vinyl-plastic rubber ducks without getting yourself soaking wet.- Thunderbolt
