    There are two huge flaws in the release of Asteroids for Xbox Live arcade; the fun factor and the price.

    ”Warhammer: Battle March” doesn’t come close to being an enjoyable game. The core game play while basic is too repetitive, and the wonky controls will test your patience quickly.

    One of the glaring problems with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Predator is that it becomes more taxing to play the longer that you are on the device; specifically due to the cramped, confusing feeling of the control scheme.

    Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is a repetitive and bland hack 'n slash experience with a thick anime coat of paint.

    The biggest problem with Create is that there's no key presentation element tying the game together. In fact, it's more of a playground or sandbox than a game that's compelling to play.

    Facebreaker should be reserved to only the very dedicated and level headed gamer, as the enjoyment level goes from quite high to excruciatingly not fun in a matter of seconds.

    It's not innovative or surprising in any way, but the graphics and gameplay are enjoyable and the multiplayer is a fun option.

    As a freebie for preordering Fable II, Pub Games is an average bonus and will appeal to the fans of the original Fable on the Xbox. As a standalone game on Xbox Live marketplace, Pub Games certainly isn’t worth the 800 points ($10).

    Despite quality graphics and sound and a responsive control system, there just isn't anything here to make Star Trek DAC worth playing.

    Call it Ratchet and Crank-lite if you want, but that's giving Spare Parts a bit too much credit. You are looking at about 3 to 4 hours of play time, most of which is reliant on monotonous combat.

    Here’s a better idea, though: Find a cheap used copy of Soulcalibur II for the Gamecube and play that on the Wii. It’s the fighting game that you expect Soulcalibur to be, it’s a deeper game, and hey… it’s got Link.

    Cross Edge features a brilliant combat system and the character roster is like a dream come true for many J-RPG fans. Sadly the rest of the game stinks.

    Ultimately, The Sims is a game you can lose yourself in, as you get caught up in the antics of the little digital people you've created. You share their hopes, their fears, their ups and downs. Or, at least, you can do that on the PC. On the 3DS, you mainly have to mop up a lot of messes, half of which are created by your Sim wetting themselves. It's about as fun as it sounds.

    While not a total loss, there's just too many other titles to choose from to give this one a slight rental recommendation.

    Red Factions: Battlegrounds is a waste of 800 Marketplace points and will disappoint every Red Faction fan right out of the gate.

    Unfortunately the gameplay still becomes stale after a couple rounds of play and the controls are definitely frustrating for new or old players.

    More variety in the gameplay and more clarity in how the game actually works would have been much appreciated.

    Though it includes some interesting ideas, Cubic Ninja is a puzzle game that really fails to set itself apart from the pack.

    Control issues plague Resident Evil Mercenaries Vs. and drag this Capcom title down into the murky depths of app store purgatory. The clunky, slowing moving characters that don't understand how to move and shoot at the same time are next to worthless, even with the slight tweaks I made.

    Namco Bandai has failed to created anything that's actually enjoyable in Knight's Contract, likely due to poor QA and so many design revisions that the original concept of the game has mangled beyond all belief during the development process. It's absolutely frustrating to play through and ultimately joyless.

    As a fan of role playing games, it pains me to see Two Worlds released in such a haphazard condition. It’s actually an entertaining, rewardingly difficult RPG, unfortunately locked up in a graphical engine wrought with massive problems, containing gameplay riddled with design issues, and features a currently lag-filled multiplayer.

    Wall-E is yet another movie tie-in game that doesn’t meet the quality of the Pixar film.

    Sadly, this game's finicky, terribly frustrating control setup makes the game impossible to recommend, despite the entertaining story and general solid presentation.

    Poor graphics, poor sound, and half-hearted game design makes this a tragic clunker. Skip It.

    The two main problems that Adrenalin Misfits face are a lack of replay value and an overly easy level of difficulty.

    As it stands, the game is a rental at best, and even then only one to bother with if there's literally nothing else for you to play.

    You'd best forget about World Championship and find something else to eat up your time.

    While the MSRP may not scream bargain title, the overall package certainly does.
