Pac ‘N Roll has very good pick-up-and-play value thanks to its short levels and easy to learn gameplay.

Overall, All-Pro Football 2K8 is a solid first entry from 2K Sports, but it comes a year too late as the Madden series is already plowing away at full stride on the 360 and PS3.

Those looking for a lengthy adventure will be disappointed for sure, while those who are just looking to do whatever they please to mankind will surely be thrilled.

Featuring fun multiplayer and a lengthy and challenging campaign, you’ll spend a good 20-30 hours on Phase Two. However, its camera issues are too big to keep it from scoring high.

All seven games hold their own without any stinkers to clutter things up. If you’re a fan of the series in any sense, or just a fan of old-school 2D gaming, then you must have Metal Slug Anthology.

WarioWare Smooth Moves is a definite rental that most gamers with a Wii can play through before returning, but if you and your friends are a bit bored with Wii Sports and need some new multiplayer action, a purchase is highly recommended.

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.

The game is really good one time through, but to suffer through Duchovny's trance inducing voiceover again sends a shiver down my spine.

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.

The game has no real replay qualities too, but this game is so long that it doesn’t need it.

This one is not for the impatient. The campaign mode does drag out for a long time and loading times are on the lengthy side, but should you be patient enough to overlook these details, you’ll definitely have a good time.

The game will take you about eight hours to beat and it will entertain you for most all of that time. Maybe it was the character jumping or maybe it was the generic feel the game puts out, but I just couldn't really get into this one.

Devil Summoner is a must-play for anyone who has enjoyed prior SMTs, or for someone who wants something a little different than the RPG norm. The battle system and music here fit that bill, and help it stand out against the Final Fantasies of the world.

If you have fond memories of the arcade, have a sibling that stinks at games or just want a solid collection of games then Taito Legends is for you.

The graphics are as beautiful as ever, Aba is a good addition to the roster and the new backgrounds and soundtrack will be adored by fans of the series. If you aren’t a Guilty Gear diehard, you should stay away from Isuka and try another part of the series.

The old adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” fits this game well.

Overall the question of the day is whether or not this upgraded version of Marble Blast and distant cousin of Marble Madness is really worth your 800 points. To be honest, due to the addictive nature of the gameplay and the set up of the multiplayer, dropping the money for this download is a no brainer.

Even though it’s short and not a technical marvel, this is still the most fun I’ve ever had playing a Star Wars game.

It’s quirky, it’s funny, and it’s challenging. It’s everything a side-scrolling shooter should be.

Pacing in Rub is a bit off. Level five is sometimes harder than level seven for example.

The thing about "Let’s Cook" that seemed bizarre to me is there was no real story to it: you don’t know why you’re cooking, your relation to Mama, who you’re cooking for, etc.

The Xbox Live Arcade game’s only true weakness is the 800 point ($10.00) price tag. If there were a couple more modes, the original game was included or perhaps a multiplayer mode was added I’d recommend it for everyone. But at it’s current price, it’s just too much compared to other excellent games like UNO that are only 400 points ($5.00). Still, if you don’t mind the cost, it’s definitely worth a look.

Shadowrun is a good online FPS.

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.

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

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.

Sure it has some rather noticeable flaws that detract from the experience, but it has a certain element of charm that kept me hooked until the end.

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