    CID The Dummy
    The game is much more frustrating than it is fun, and the very small glimmers of hope offered in the opening moments are quickly plowed under by the title's myriad flaws and lack of anything that might make it an even remotely compelling experience.

    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal
    Overall, the first outing in the Tales of Monkey Island series feels a lot like riding a bike for the first time in over a decade. Sure, you may wobble a bit at first and you may not be able to pull off all the same tricks as you could in your younger days, but things ultimately fall into place and it isn't long before you relax into a nice rhythm.

    The Punisher: No Mercy
    Sadly, The Punisher: No Mercy is a complete waste of a license for a comic book antihero that does have out there amongst gamers a loyal following.

    Trine
    Trine is one of the better platformers I've played this year, and it's definitely worth buying.

    Worms 2: Armageddon
    For the $10 price of admission, Worms 2: Armageddon is a hard game to pass up if you've ever remotely been interested in the series. There's a slew of content here and lots of replay value due to the massive quantity of unlockables and level of customization that the game allows.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    Altogether, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is not a great game, but it's decent enough to be playable, and I can see the charm that younger fans of the franchise will enjoy.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    Terribly flawed audio, bland visuals, cut scenes that make no sense in the context of the preceding or following gameplay, miserable Quidditch, horrible potion-making and awkward dueling all add up to make this title a train wreck from which you can look away.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for the Wii simply does not have enough magic in it to fly on its own.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    When you get down to it, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is absolutely boring to play on the DS. It's a constant series of fetch quests that's rarely broken up by the wand duels, potion-making and Quidditch matches.

    Roogoo: Twisted Towers
    It's worth checking out, and it's certainly a unique take on the puzzle genre.

    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
    All in all, the campaign has plenty of solid action, but the lack of variety in objectives causes the gameplay to wear thin after a while.

    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
    Between the fantastic characters, wonderful story and largely entertaining gunplay, this is a title that's worth checking out.

    Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament
    All in all, Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament is a pretty bland and boring offering from Irem on the PSP, and it's the first big miss I've played from the company in quite a while. Even if you're a fan of the original PS2 title, you're not missing anything by skipping this one.

    Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
    For the child and the child in all of us, give it a whirl, but if you steadfastly insist you grew up a long time ago, please move along; there's nothing for you to see here.

    BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
    The actual gameplay; in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger; is relentlessly crazy, to the point where even two complete novices flailing away at one another will be entertained by the ridiculous crap they're able to pull off.

    Infernal: Hell's Vengeance
    Infernal: Hell's Vengeance has a neat premise, and that's it. The gameplay is botched in every conceivable way, and the graphics and voice acting will grate on you endlessly.

    Mega Man Star Force 3: Black Ace
    Nonetheless, Mega Man Star Force 3 is going to be popular among its fan base, and the upgrades will help them get the most out of the game. Non-fans probably won't find a lot here, though, and by repeatedly exploring the same elements of Geo's life, Capcom seems to be falling into a comfortable rut here.

    Droplitz
    Droplitz is one of those under-the-radar games that, in spite of how good it is, has gotten lost in the commotion and hoopla of the summer games season.

    Fight Night Round 4
    All told, Fight Night Round 4 is a solid game, and it's more than just a rebranding of the franchise.

    The Conduit
    Going out on a limb, but a thick limb, The Conduit is an FPS that will stand well among lots of contemporary shooters, but the game is by far the most fully realized, expertly designed experience of its type available on the Wii.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
    Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor is easily one of the best strategy-RPGs on the Nintendo DS and may even be one of the better strategy RPGs ever made.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
    Down to brass tacks, if you're expecting a gameplay masterpiece that expands on the Michael Bay Transformers mythology or merely sticks quite close to the new movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen won't fill the bill.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
    Overall, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a mindless and fun third-person action game that should suit the needs of Transformers fans.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Autobots
    Overall, I'm not sure that I'd suggest Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Autobots to anyone other than die-hard Transformer fans, even though it really doesn't do the franchise any justice.
    • 77 Metascore

    Pangya Fantasy Golf
    Pangya: Fantasy Golf is a decent golf title on the system, and it's nice to have something else to play other than Hot Shots.

    Dawn of Discovery
    Aside from those minor quibbles, I really enjoyed Dawn of Discovery, but keep in mind that if you're not already a fan of real-time strategy games, this game might not be the one to suck you in, especially not on a console. It's certainly well-adapted, but the difficulty curve is pretty high, and I'm not sure that people will have the patience to go through the tutorial that's masked as a story mode. However, if you're willing to stick it out, there's a ton of depth here that can keep you busy for hours on end, and it's a great value at $30.
