    It's a solid production all around with some addictive gameplay and diverse fighting styles to tinker with. The addition of online play is key to the success of this title and it creates an unlimited arcade experience right from your sofa.

    Soul Calibur IV brings the supremely balanced fantasy fighting to the next gen systems, with great success. There are a few drawbacks, such as the spotty online and the woefully inadequate storylines, but the pros far outweigh the cons.

    1942: First Strike is highly entertaining… while it lasts.

    Final Thoughts: "NCAA Football '09" could use some graphical polish and the AI isn't dazzling, but the game remains an entertaining time overall and the online dynasty mode should keep fans busy for the Winter months.

    The gameplay is flawed from the moment the game starts and right up to the end it never really gets better.

    Overall, I was pretty happy with Civilization: Revolution. As a longtime fan of the franchise, I hesitant to pay 60$ for a watered down version of a game I own more copies than I count.

    Those unfamiliar or new to the series will have a bit of a learning curve as they become used to the speed and controls. But, patience and practice will be rewarded and any FPS fan will enjoy this solid title addition to the 360 library.

    Guitar Hero Aerosmith isn't a bad idea, but the execution is so lazy that it's hard to recommend.

    This is about as good as it gets for a game that can be purchased on the cheap.

    The game feels unfinished and sloppy from start to finish with a terrible story to back it up and greatly varied presentational merits.

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

    I'm not sure that this release really deserves the price sticker attached to it because it's mainly just an upgrade but it's still a decent experience just the same.

    Secret Agent Clank is a fun diversion for fans of the franchise looking for something else to sink their teeth into.

    I hate to break it to fans of the sport but NASCAR 09 is not the be-all and end-all video game experience. This year's edition is decent but it doesn't stand out in any way and it doesn't really raise the bar of expectations.

    Check out the demo for this title before purchasing Roogoo if you enjoy single player puzzle games.

    Kung Fu Panda isn't a title designed for adults, but rather the young fans of the movie.

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

    Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is overpriced considering the lackluster single player and dated design.
    • 76 Metascore

    While the stylish production value of the title is utterly fantastic, I can’t recommend a $20 game with an obnoxiously easy difficulty level that lasts about 4 to 5 hours.

    Free Radical and Ubisoft missed quite a few things in the quality assurance department with this one and it would seem that the project was rushed somewhere along the line.

    If you have points to spare, or don't mind plunking down some cold cash to obtain a few, you cannot go wrong with this fun title.

    And in the End... Most older players won't get an extended life out of We Ski, as the game play can get a bit repetitive, and starts out very easy, though for families looking to play together, it's worth every penny.

    If you loved other GTA titles or have developed an affinity for sandbox style games then this will stay in your PS3 for months to come.

    "Grand Theft Auto IV" is a remarkable title, boasting not only exceptional online play, but a terrific main story that contains much finer dialogue and character development than previous games in the series.

    This game gets a high recommendation for the multiplayer aspect but if you're in a position where you're going to be exploring single player consider this merely recommended.

    And in the End... It's the rare game that can be ported to a new system two years after its original release, nearly pixel for pixel, and yet still feel like a fresh new experience, but "Okami" is just such a game, thanks to an excellent implementation of the Wii controller on an already engaging game.

    Unless you are a die hard shooter fan who craves any and all titles, this game, while not a must have, is still an enjoyable title that would be a good addition to your library.

    If you're looking for a new Naruto game to sharpen your kunai on then Ultimate Ninja 3 is definitely worth a spin. The gameplay may be the same as ever but slight improvements in just about every department help flesh out the experience.

    I certainly like the depth and variety of the XBox Live Arcade offerings. There are truly some gems in there that are worth their cost in points. Sadly, Rocketman: Axis of Evil falls short of that mark.

    Chains of Olympus is a game of mythical proportions. The God of War franchise is rock solid to begin with but considering how well Ready at Dawn brought it to the PSP, I must admit that I'm stunned.
