    Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes
    Heroes is not one of those games that will immediately sieze you by the breastplate but once you have mastered the multi-tasking and on-the-spot strategizing that's required, it really does grow on you like a Shambling Mound and in this case, that's a good thing.

    X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
    There is an assortment of plot twists too that provide surprise after surprise as you continue forth. If nothing else, X-Men Legends 2 is a well-crafted and executed storyline that gets progressively intriguing the more time you spend playing it.

    X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
    It has pretty graphics, plenty of extras and an engaging storyline. I may have taken a whole lot more from it if I was a hardcore fan of the history of X-Men, but it still has enough going for it to keep all types of gamers happy.

    Ultimate Spider-Man
    It ended just in time - the end of the game comes down to, more than anything, one big boss battle after another - and left us with a true feeling of accomplishment.

    Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
    The Mortal Kombat transition from fighting game to action-adventure experience is handled exceptionally well in Shaolin Monks. As Scorpion would say, "Get over here!"

    MediEvil: Resurrection
    While it's not the most original game of its kind, fans of MediEvil should like this slick redux of the popular PlayStation platformers. The wireless multiplayer minigames are a nice bonus, too.

    Burnout Revenge
    Another amazing asset is that the opponents that you face aren't stupid. These are some top-notch, intelligent drivers! These opponents actually try to set you up to crash in a race.

    Burnout Legends
    With its wide variety of vehicles, numerous tracks and racing modes and its undeniably addictive sense of speed, Burnout Legends is by far the best racing experience to be had on the PSP.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Burnout Revenge
    Contrary to popular belief, Revenge is a dish best served hot. It's the best Burnout game ever.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown
    There's little need for varied strategies throughout Lockdown, and once you figure out how to sweep a room efficiently, the entire game is pretty much open for completion. It makes for an interesting twist on the strategy based shooter formula, because the need for absolute teamwork is almost entirely diminished.

    NHL 2K6
    Whether you're starting a new franchise from scratch or simply playing a game of Dodge-the-Barrels, NHL 2K6 is a stunning addition to the world of sports games.

    Nibiru: Age of Secrets
    A game which has enough to keep you engaged with it all the way until the final crucial discovery about the nature and meaning of Nibiru.

    Mario Superstar Baseball
    Mix a basic but solid game of baseball with the usual hallucinogenic properties of Mario's special toadstools and you get this fun and frothy confection.

    187 Ride or Die
    The developers of 187 Ride or Die definitely had the right idea. The game is easy to just pick up and play and has fun multiplayer modes. But the laughable plot, disgusting language and weak (very weak) single player mode keep this game from being great.

    Nintendogs: Lab & Friends
    While it's not a game so much as a pet simulator that you fiddle with for a few minutes every day, Nintendogs is ridiculously charming and cute. And virtual dog poop is a lot easier to clean up than the real stuff.

    Nintendogs: Chihuahua & Friends
    While it's not a game so much as a pet simulator that you fiddle with for a few minutes every day, Nintendogs is ridiculously charming and cute. And virtual dog poop is a lot easier to clean up than the real stuff.

    While it's not a game so much as a pet simulator that you fiddle with for a few minutes every day, Nintendogs is ridiculously charming and cute. And virtual dog poop is a lot easier to clean up than the real stuff.

    Advance Wars: Dual Strike
    One of the best strategy game franchises gets even better with the addition of new DS-specific features and tweaks.

    Lizzie McGuire 3: Homecoming Havoc
    That's 100 games and 10 dance offs in 10 stages, folks. Yep. Moms and dads, this game will have your kids tied up until doomsday...or shortly thereafter.

    That's So Raven 2: Supernatural Style
    That's so Raven 2: Supernatural Style doesn't fair as well unfortunately although it is more of an arcade style experience.

    Death Jr.
    The graphics and sound in Death Jr. are nothing spectacular. The music is catchy but repetitive, and the sound effects are sparse and basic.

    Geist
    Playing as a ghost who can possess people, animals and inanimate objects is a definite novelty, but a lot of the game's action sequences have a been there, done that feel.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike
    Does exactly what it's supposed to do - kill time and appease the masses before its full follow up comes a few months from now.

    Outlaw Tennis
    For anyone looking for a deceptively solid tennis game, grab your balls and get ready to make some racket with Outlaw Tennis (aren't I creative?).
    • 71 Metascore

    Nanostray
    The graphics in Nanostray are some of the prettiest on the DS, hands down. The environments are varied, there is a ton of vibrant colours and except for some very rare slowdowns, the game runs at a smooth 60 FPS, no small feat considering how much is always going on on both screens.

    Sid Meier's Pirates!
    This faithful port - no pun intended - of the seafaring PC game shines just as brightly on the big black box. Beware the siren call of its addictiveness, though.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Killer7
    Just like a Lynch movie, debate over the merits and meaning of Killer7 will no doubt rage for months to come, if not years. But just as some dismiss surrealism as trivial waffle, others will find great delight and much scope within the fixed parameters of what is presented here.

    Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack
    Is it possible for an expansion disc to qualify as contender for Game of the Year?

    Fantastic 4
    It's very amusing playing it together as a team.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Fantastic 4
    It is passable as a button mashing brawler with a few interesting concepts (namely the bosses and that fact that you control four, old-school comic characters), but suffers from a variety of game elements that just weren't done quite well enough, such as poor control mechanics, middle of the road graphics, lack of variety with the combat and more.
