    NCAA Football 07
    The PS2 and Xbox versions boast a plethora of play modes.

    Glory of the Roman Empire
    Although this is a great game, I’m not sure if it’s a great 40 dollar game. With no online component other than an online leaderboard and some very simple yet addicting gameplay, perhaps 40 bucks is stretching it.

    Night Watch
    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.

    Gradius Collection
    Most likely, only fans of the series that have a PSP will be picking this one up.

    The Movies: Stunts & Effects
    The big draw is for those that used The Movies to create customized movies. With the new sets, free-moving cameras, and stunts, these players will have plenty to help them get their creative juices flowing.

    City Life
    If you really need a life sim fix, I would recommend that other recent CDV game, "Glory of the Roman Empire."

    Half-Life 2: Episode One
    One of Valve’s smartest decisions in Episode One was to not have a timer or countdown. Not only does this make the game less frustrating, but it allows players to explore the still gorgeous environment of the game.

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

    Steambot Chronicles
    What sets this game apart is of course, the mecha. While inside the trotmobile, the controls feel very much like operating a machine thanks to the use of both analog sticks needing to work in coordination to move around.

    Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis
    The gameplay has a lot of depth, it can be played in short bursts like most of the Live Arcade games currently available, and you can always have a match on your hand against a human opponent on Xbox Live.

    X-Men: The Official Game
    This is a perfect rental game, since it’s fantastic in short bursts, and its flaws are only exposed during long play sessions.

    New Super Mario Bros.
    It is almost as if half way into production one of the higher ups saw the progress, wasn’t happy and forced them to stick to the old formula that’s more than a decade old. The game is also really short.

    Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
    Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends is one of those games that you can sit down, have fun then look at the clock and realize two hours have gone by, it’s just that addictive.

    Over the Hedge
    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.
    • 61 Metascore

    Over the Hedge
    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.

    SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars
    I wouldn’t rule Spellforce 2 out completely, especially if you’re a great fan of zerg tactics and don’t mind waiting the sometimes required hours for an open game to appear online. For all you others, spend that 40 bucks on a better RTS.

    DreamWorks Over the Hedge
    As a licensed game, it’s fantastic. It does justice to the source material in both the movie and comic strip, while providing a good game on top of it.

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

    Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
    Sure it has a few faults like a lousy fighting mechanic and not being all that challenging, but it more than makes up for that by delivering an engaging story that not a lot of other games can match.

    Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
    With a budget price of just $19.99, this game has done something I thought I’d never experience or see: a fun video game that also educates. In your face, channel four evening news!

    Tomb Raider: Legend
    This is how the series always SHOULD have played, and while there are some small hiccups in the overall product, much of it is fantastic.

    Commandos Strike Force
    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.

    UberSoldier
    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.

    Top Spin 2
    Graphically, TS2 doesn’t look a heck of a lot prettier than it did on its Xbox debut.

    Kingdom Hearts II
    If you liked KH1, you’ll love KH2 – it’s better than its predecessor in every aspect.

    River King: A Wonderful Journey
    We’re given a lame cooking ability for the fish you’ve caught which isn’t necessary at all.

    Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators
    It isn’t the most beautiful or best-sounding game out there, but it is one of the most diverse.

    Buccaneer's Bounty
    If you’re looking for a few good strategy games and/or have a thing for pirates, you really can’t go wrong with Buccaneer’s Bounty.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Suikoden V
    Suikoden V isn’t a bad game, but it is disappointing. With all of the promise shown with the graphics and damn-near perfect battles, I’m bewildered thinking about the blunders.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Metal Gear Acid 2
    A stylish and unqiue game definitely worthy in the highly successful franchise. Its frustrating, yet successful card system, combined with challenging gameplay, excellent visuals, and funky soundtrack make a satisfying package for fans of the original Acid, strategy games, or something completely different.
