    Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis
    The game really shines in multiplayer, where the variety in play styles means that every match is different and challenging. Often players will volley well over 30-40 times on each point, which creates some very intense matches that can easily go either way. Whether playing online or against a friend, multiplayer is the best Table Tennis experience by far.

    X-Men: The Official Game
    X-Men: The Official Game is too short, too bland and too rushed to be considered anything more than a three-day rental (and barely that).

    X-Men: The Official Game
    Fortunately there are a few interesting boss type fights in the game to keep it from becoming overly stale including some interesting members from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

    X-Men: The Official Game
    Although playing as Wolverine and Nightcrawler is more fun, in the end, even their missions eventually become monotonous. The game definitely could have benefited from more mutants.

    X-Men: The Official Game
    Granted, the targeting system is pretty unique to this kind of game, but thanks to it being fairly unresponsive, especially when things really heat up on screen, it ends up being completely derogatory.

    X-Men: The Official Game
    As I played through it, there were times when I was just plain bored out of my noggin'. The Wolverine missions are so darn banal.

    New Super Mario Bros.
    With a concept as timeless (and downright fun) as the one that the Mario Bros. games adhere to, it would be tough to screw this game up. And Nintendo didn't ... not by a longshot.

    Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
    When it’s all said and done Rise of Legends is a solid RTS. The single player skirmishes with the computer are much better than playing the campaign and the multiplayer option is an absolute blast.

    Guild Wars Factions
    The series could benefit from features such as other playable races or a crafting system, but you'll likely be so busy adventuring that you won't have much time for gathering herbs.

    Black & White 2 - Battle of the Gods
    It's a fine addition to Black & White 2 but in the end it's more of the same - entertaining more of the same, though, for under $20.

    Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
    The game is such a blast because you only have about ten minutes each day to prove that you really are as quick and sharp as you were the day before.

    Odama
    I love playing games that sway from the norm and try something new, and for that reason alone I was excited for Odama and wanted to give it a great score. Unfortunately, it fails in its execution and becomes a lesson in frustration.

    Keepsake
    With all of its mysticism, strange but curious creatures and dazzling surroundings, 'Keepsake' will be a sure-fire hit with the Harry Potter crowd if they don't mind exercising their wits as well as feasting their eyes.

    Far Cry Instincts Predator
    Excellent storyline, fantastic game play and next generation graphics, its well worth the price of admission.

    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
    The joystick obviously offers the best option for control but the preset controls for the game are quite odd and, for me at least, changing the layout was not possible.

    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
    Ground targets like tanks and trucks look oddly crude, and there's some very noticeable slowdown when you're flying low and strafing, especially through smoke.

    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
    The game looks pretty good from the air - especially the awesome blur effect when you speed up - but it's almost embarrassing to see some of the details up close.

    The Godfather
    A riveting game that you can't refuse.

    Crime Stories: From the Files of Martin Mystere
    We wanted 'The X-Files' and instead we got 'Columbo'.

    Suikoden V
    Instead of picking where to go from a menu on the screen like you were searching for Carmen Sandiego, you actually get to roam around the various cities and other places on the map.

    Metal Gear Acid 2
    With the improved graphics, increased card selection and better mission design, Acid 2 stands well above what was already a unique and fantastic PSP experience.

    Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal
    The pacing is so slow that trawling through the usual scenarios is completely unrewarding. It¹s not particularly bad, just boring.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Godfather
    In many ways, The Godfather is much better than "GTA". The producers have taken the "GTA" gameplay concept as a starting point and then made it their own by surrounding it with a well-established storyline that gives everything purpose and charm.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
    Everything that was great about Morrowind is here in spades, but with smoother gameplay mechanics, snazzier visuals and a faster-moving storyline.

    Tetris DS
    Even if you only have a slightest casual interest in the greatest puzzle video game ever made, the stack of gameplay modes and the introduction of online play are completely reason enough to warrant purchase.

    Metroid Prime: Hunters
    A great achievement for the DS that should be worth the wait for fans of the series and those dying for a fully-fleshed out FPS with online capabilities on the dual screen system.

    Neopets Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing
    Don't have any idea what the difference between a PetPetPet, a Neopet or a PetPet is and could care less? 'Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing' is probably not for you then. For fans of the odd little beasts and their quirky little ways, the PSP release is a faithful expansion of the Neopet universe.

    Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
    A perfect merging of sneaking and shooting missions, Dark Mirror’s gameplay flows rapidly from scenario to scenario.

    Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
    With some of the highest production values seen in any game and more extras than you can shake a silenced tranquilizer gun at (all of which are on top of an amazing and improved single player game) result in a title that is easy to recommend and enjoy.
    • 90 Metascore

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
    It has a great mix of tactics and action, it has a cinematic, engaging campaign mode, and plenty of multiplayer fun to keep everyone on Xbox Live happy for a long time.
