If you’re a Dig Dug fan, you’ll be quite satisfied with Digging Strike. If you’re not, this won’t sway you.

While it isn't the most innovative platformer out there, it is one of the more enjoyable ones I've played as of late, and the fusion of Pac-Man stuff with regular platforming action is far smoother than I thought it would be.

The gameplay does have its flaws, but I still manage to have a lot of fun in the many types of game modes available.

If you hate turn-based strategy and card collecting games, this probably isn't for you, no matter how big a fan of the series you are. But if you can keep an open mind, or if you really want to learn more of the Prince of Persia back story, this is a fun game that has a lot going for it.

Remove the decade old plot progression, fix up the difficulty, balance out the characters and you would really have a contender on your hands.

Don’t look to the expansion to add anything new to the game that will get you very excited unless you’re completely in dire need of more animals.

The control is flawed and attempts to handle the system's limitations in an imaginative, yet dysfunctional manner. There are many problems here from the button configuration and poor AI to auto-targeting.

Boring, repetitive and not even close to being fun whatsoever.

Red Steel simply screams that it's a rushed launch game, which is a shame. The game has a stylish presentation and a unique premise that, with another months of development time and polish, could of worked well.

Gothic 3 is not a budget title, for $40 I expect a pleasant gameplay experience not frustration. That’s like paying a guy $40 to punch you in the face repeatedly.

Unless you are a die-hard ATV fan who can put up with frustrating gameplay mechanics, I cannot recommend ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin’ Trails to you.

But the real problem with Stacked is that it’s not worth the price tag. You can get the same gameplay for drastically less.

Accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. It provides a simple game play experience that will entertain younger children quite effectively.

The Life is an innovative addition to the genre that indicates to me that Sony is serious about sports games again.

The gameplay is fun at times, but the manner with which you have to progress through single player to unlock cards is downright grueling and unrewarding.

While the graphics are pretty good, the game just isn’t scary, and it really didn’t make you feel that saving the main character from the curse was really important.

Truly a poor game. It introduces us to 1080p resolution and a cool gameplay mode in NBA Replay, but fails on almost every other level.

The game also has several bugs, such as moving through cars, and the fact that you only suffer from car crashes by a temporary drop in speed before accelerating. In this sense, the game feels like it was rushed.

If you must pick up this title because of a significant other, then buy another version. I can’t guarantee the controls will be better, but you’ll save a few bucks and the GCN version does play on the Wii as well.

A unique and totally serviceable game, but the thing is that it just isn’t all that fun.

Commandos: Strike Force tries to combine its tactical strategy roots into a FPS, but you'd never be able to tell it, especially with a game like Brothers in Arms out on the market.

An addictive, fun, and engrossing adventure. Puzzle game fans will enjoy this, and anyone looking for a good way to kill a half hour in style should give this a shot.

Over the Hedge features good co-operative action based off a movie that's sure to gather many fans. It's an excellent game for parents to play with their kids after seeing the movie.

The PSP doesn’t have a whole heck of a lot of good platformers. PMW3 won’t go down as one of the best of all-time, but I will give it props for being one of the few that nails down the storytelling that makes it that much fun to play through.

This one doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does add some nice bling to it.

The audio is about as enthralling as the graphics are, which is to say not that much.

A well-crafted game with few glaring problems and a high, but manageable learning curve. I think its replay value is hurt somewhat by a lack of Wi-Fi play, where a player vs. player time attack mode could probably work really well, but since so many parts of the game are rock-solid, I’m willing to easily forgive it for not being present here.

It's a shame that the rough edges weren't smoothed out, but I expected there to be far more problems than there are. The few issues here aren't game-killing.

I just found the frustration level of this game just slightly more than I’m willing to put up with.

An incredibly unique game in today’s gaming scene. If you’re in the mood for something new, give it a shot.

The fact that many of these titles are indeed classics may be a convincing enough reason to pay for this collection, but most gamers would be better off spending their money on one of those newfangled 3D games.

These games aren't cutting-edge, but they are classics. Each game brought back great arcade memories for me, and reminded me that I've been playing games for almost 25 years.

The voice acting is actually very nicely done and very authentic. By authentic I’m talking about lots of swearing and sexual comments, this is a college setting after all.

One thing that the other launch titles have shown is that navigating the menus in DS games can be very simple and straightforward. Here though the whole system is clunky, with some icons placed on the touch screen being so small you need to use the stylus.

For all that it does right with its combat engine and Lunar system, Blade Dancer does something wrong. Playing the game frequently feels like you're taking two steps forward and one back and you'll get the sense that you're not really going anywhere.

A poor game for no matter what it is priced at. I can’t recommend a purchase or rental, even if you are a huge survival horror junkie. Curse is well, just that.

It is a semi-lengthy RPG, as the adventure clocks in roughly around 20 hours, and the online portions are pretty entertaining.

Unlike some other games in the genre, where discerning how a levels’ puzzle works is only half the battle, Frantix can be a walk in the park after you solve each level’s puzzle, which is disappointing.

Shot-Online has a tightly knit community. There seems to be constant tournaments and other events going on to keep the community there. The MMO stuff just doesn’t do it for me.

Looking at the game as a whole, the music and atmosphere are easily the best parts of Rule of Rose, while the controls are the weakest element by far.

An extremely well-written script. I constantly found myself laughing, tears of joy pouring heartily from my eyes (slight exaggeration). Still, the gameplay is boring and repetitive, and there’s virtually no replay value.

Over the Hedge has exactly what you’d expect the typical movie-licensed video game to have: unoriginal, repetitive gameplay that’s obviously cashing in on a movie which had much more work put into it.

The problems lie mostly with the game design, which is enjoyable, yet flawed. While Samurai Shodown V isn't necessarily a bad game, it doesn't quite hold up to previous entries in the series.

Dirge of Cerberus only serves to illustrate that you can have too much of a good thing – even if it is the cherished and adored Final Fantasy VII.

Sure the new single player experience is a nice change of pace, but there isn’t anything revolutionary added to the franchise that will make you ponder ‘why did I miss out on this one?’

As much as it pains me (a long-time SNK fighting fan) to say this, SVC Chaos is probably the worst overall fighter I've ever played from SNK.

Overall, Shrek the Third is another by-the-numbers movie licensed game. There’s nothing remarkably wrong with this game, but nothing that great about it either.

Given the shortness of the game combined with no multiplayer option add in the fact that there are other great FPS’s out there that are cheaper, will last you longer and have a multiplayer mode.

With its short play time, and lacking mini games, it won’t take the average gamer more than a few days to get their fill of Shrek, Donkey, and Puss.

ProStroke Golf – World Tour 2007 is an obvious first attempt into the genre. Hopefully, the feedback can be taken well by the developer, as they could, some day, have a good golf game on our hands that doesn’t have the name Links or Tiger Woods.

Shrek the Third isn’t an altogether bad game, but is certainly a sloppy one.

Many people won’t bother getting far enough into the game to appreciate the visuals, but if you give it a chance there’s a good game here. The camera problems unfortunately keep it from being great, but it’s a welcome diversion from the FPS and sports titles that have flooded the PS3 launch.

If you’re looking for a decent single player game to plow through in a weekend, Bullet Witch would make a terrific rental.

Whether you just want something to play Texas Hold ‘em on your PS2 for, or something with the depth and customization of a sports sim, All In is your best bet.

The emulation of the arcade games are perfectly nailed and it's a shame that it was wasted on such a poor game selection.

The only thing that saves this game from getting a big fat zero is that the graphics look good, it has plenty of bells and whistles (costumes Frogger can wear, multiplayer, challenge mode, etc.) and the background music goes well with the levels.

Night-Watch is a rather average horror RPG based on a movie you may not have heard of. You could certainly do a lot worse, but unless you’re a fanatic about the film, your money could be better spent elsewhere until this one hits the bargain bin.

The Live play is done much better than it has any right to, especially when one considers the likely shoestring budget given for this.

Playing through the game takes only a few hours the first time, making it great for quick gaming spurts. Combining that with the lackluster multiplayer modes and shoddy controls you won’t be going back very often though. It just isn’t worth the headache.

Ultimately, History Channel: Civil War is a game that should be played by most war FPS fans just to experience something different. It may not be the most innovative or exhilarating war FPS, but it is a breath of fresh air from WWII FPS #205.

Right now, its price point is simply too high and it offers too little compared to the previous DOA X.

While it may not sell out or win any awards, it is an excellent pick up and play game for kids.

Though it sounded sweet on paper, developer Nival Interactive couldn’t translate it into a great game. Hopefully, Hammer & Sickle’s failures will inspire the creation of games that can more fully realize its potential.

Taken as a whole, Over the Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts is an average game with a unique premise. While it controls just fine, there’s too little excitement here to really recommend a purchase to anyone.

This is a perfect rental game, since it’s fantastic in short bursts, and its flaws are only exposed during long play sessions.

Konami still has a ways to go before its Rengoku series can be called respectable, but Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N. is miles ahead of its predecessor. The visuals look better, environments look great, and the customization in the game is addictive. Should the combat improve in the inevitable third iteration, this will be a franchise worth checking out.

We’re given a lame cooking ability for the fish you’ve caught which isn’t necessary at all.

There’s nothing done well here that wasn’t already done in the Force modes, which is quite sad.

Brooktown High is poor by design and though the concept running it may be admirable the execution is not. Bad conversation, lackluster mini-games, pointless statistics, and a below average presentation don't necessarily help the dating sim genre make headway in America.

Even though this is a budget title, I recommend that you save your $19.99 and put it towards a driving game that will keep you entertained via the actual racing mechanisms, rather than the same running joke.

There’s a lot of game to Tao’s Adventure, so if you can put up with all its flaws it should last you quite a while. But frankly, you’d be better off just getting something else.

Even die-hard fans should steer clear of purchasing this, as there just isn’t enough of a game here to justify spending $40 on.

Even for you gamerscore whores, sitting through this one for the 1000 points would kill you. Even with its budget price, it’s not worth the headaches that the anything but random card shuffling and tedious tournaments would bring you.

If my Mom ever bought me a game like this when I was little, I might have had a tantrum.

The gameplay is too repetitive and boring to be worth anything, the main game can be beaten within seven or eight hours, and the extras offered just aren’t worth coming back for.

The gameplay is oversimplified, gimmicky and unoriginal, with clunky controls and some high elements of frustration.

Wing Island is classic early console fodder: something that sits on the shelf next to good games and waits for clueless customers to pick the game up before it shows up in the budget bin for more clueless customers to buy because of its price tag.

On the other, it’s impossible to deny just how flawed some of the remakes are. I can’t help but be disappointed by their lackluster quality, but by the odd lack of the original games being on here.

The few genuine improvements are easily forgotten amid the many things that were made worse from the first game into this one.

The gameplay is horrendous with clunky control, button mashing repetitiveness, and a headache inducing camera system.

A bottom of the barrel poker game. It does have some cool things that most other poker games don’t like craps, and sports betting, but the bad far outweighs the good. Avoid this one at all costs.

I don’t care how much you loved the film, do not buy this game. If your children absolutely loved the movie, then give Zathura a rental at most for them to get their thrills.

If you’re really into battleship warfare, or looking for something to get your grandfather who’s a World War Two navy vet that needs something else to play on his DS besides Brain Age, you’ll like this game. Everyone else should go play Advance Wars: DS or one of its earlier titles.

While it isn’t very original, it can be very enjoyable in short bursts. Unfortunately, the camera problems prevent it from being ideal for long-term play, and make extended play sessions very frustrating due to how needlessly hard it is to see what you’re doing thanks to the poorly-placed camera.

If you have Live, this can be an incredibly enjoyable game once you get used to the profane and immature nature of players that frequent the lobbies.

Nice try, Eurocom, but let’s face it: the track and field genre of videogames is still dead. Honestly, developers should just give up on making them.

Pocket Racer[s] screams budget title in every way. The gameplay is generic even by mid-’90s standards, the graphics are bland, and the sound will leave you wanting a lot more.

I really wanted to like The Shield. Unless you’re a Shield enthusiast like me, you’ll be safe passing on this one.

This game insulted my intelligence as a gamer and a human being. I found very little entertainment while playing this game and feel ripped off that I spent five bucks on it.

The controls in Torrente are hideous. Sluggish control of the character, whether that be in 1st or 3rd person mode, is constantly apparent.

Probably the worst Bomberman game to ever be unleashed upon the public. Just about everything you ever liked about the franchise has been destroyed and little good has been created.

Family Feud fans like myself will enjoy this game no matter what, though not so big fans will probably be peeved at the crappy time limit for answer inputting and the very limited graphics and sound.
