The main problem with taking the series back onto the Playstation portable from the PS3 is that the series loses the grand depth that was created in God of War III. Sure, this is set in the timeline after the first God of War, but veterans of the series have already gotten used to the more complex combat system and epic bosses.- Video Game Talk

Playing this game, it was hard to not compare it to Just Dance 2, largely because they are the same game, with different music and visuals. The problem is, Michael Jackson: The Experience comes up short in any comparison, thanks to less modes and the inability to expand the title without an in-game store.- Video Game Talk

Clearly, there wasn't a ton of time put into the development and launch of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction for the PSP. I- Video Game Talk

You are looking at about 20 to 30 hours of gameplay in the single player story and more replay value if you enjoy the multiplayer mode. Highly Recommended!- Video Game Talk

I can't recommend the Xbox 360 version of EA Sports Active 2 to anyone. You are much better going with Your Shape: Fitness Evolved for a fitness game or even Dance Central to shake your booty's calories away if you pick up a Kinect this holiday season.- Video Game Talk

In the end, Criterion did something that no developer has been able to do with the Need for Speed series in over 10 years; bringing the game back to its roots and making me feel like I'm still at that computer watching my brother.- Video Game Talk

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

In the end, I'm really judging my enjoyment level of Pac-Man CE DX compared to how addicted I was to the previous title.- Video Game Talk

Splatterhouse isn't a bad game, but it's riddled with enough inconsistencies that I can't wholeheartedly recommend it.- Video Game Talk

Is "Black Ops" a game of the year? No, but it's still a very good game. Highly Recommended.- Video Game Talk

Yes, it will sell like crazy this holiday season, and it's certainly not bad, but I find the game's potential to ultimately be more exciting than the game itself.- Video Game Talk

Seriously, EA?! Why do you insist in crapping all over the franchise during its final hours? The game takes about 5 to 7 hours to complete, but frustration kicks in after the first 20 minutes of play.- Video Game Talk

While the cute factor is off the charts, Kinectimals never really offers the addicting gameplay and depth of a game like Viva Pinata.- Video Game Talk

The end result is a game that's among the most entertaining overall on the Wii, and easily the finest example of a first-person shooter the console has to offer.- Video Game Talk

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is a collection of ups and downs. On the plus side the core gameplay is fun and rewarding, character models look great, and there is decent online support. On the downside button mashers can destroy everyone, there's no penalty for dropping from a match, to get the most of the game you have to play through countless hours of single player, and environments are bland.- Video Game Talk

As expected, the virtual playground that is the Sims doesn't convert very well into the console world. Even with the added gameplay components like Karma, the experience is very much like Sims 3-lite compared to the larger world in Sims 3 for the PC.- Video Game Talk

Undead Nightmare is a great piece of DLC. A solid, well produced, and very funny single player story attached to an already stellar game engine, it's hard for any Red Dead: Redemption fan to pass this by.- Video Game Talk

Toy Story 3 is clearly targeted at a much younger demographic of players than the vast majority of Xbox 360 releases, but there's plenty of entertainment value for young adults that grew up on the Toy Story movies.- Video Game Talk

Ultimately, fans of GT4 are going to find a great deal of value in GT5. Just don't expect to see the same advances that have been made in racing games over the last three years.- Video Game Talk

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.- Video Game Talk

Of EA Sports Active 2, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout, the latter has the absolute best use of motion tracking during the actual exercises as well as the motivation to keep you going.- Video Game Talk

If it's not clear by now, I'm not recommending that anyone get suckered into purchasing Sonic Free Riders. It's very clear that Sega did little QA on the final product before shipping it to meet the Kinect launch date and the end product is an absolutely mess.- Video Game Talk

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.- Video Game Talk

nail'd is often a frustrating game to play due to the problematic physics engine. It also doesn't convey much of a personality as an arcade racer; applying a dated presentation to lackluster arcade racing doesn't make for a tremendous experience.- Video Game Talk
