    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007
    The new grapple and action system is wonderful, but everything else either stays the same or ends up falling flat in its execution.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007
    Flaws are plentiful and at times glaring, yet somehow, the game is so shamelessly addictive that once you actually play it, you can't be pulled away.

    Trauma Center: Second Opinion
    While I'm a bit disappointed in the relatively small amount of new content, the overall gameplay is solid and different enough from the DS counterpart to be worth playing.

    Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles
    Although Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles does many things right, the semi-repetitive missions, frustrating save system, and lack of replay value won't impress the average, seasoned gamer.

    GT Pro Series
    How can a game this bland and uninteresting compete with the likes of "Excite Truck" and "Need for Speed: Carbon," let alone the scores of racers available on other consoles? Simply put, it can’t; and it should be avoided at all costs.

    NFL Street 3
    There's nothing groundbreaking here, and it provides more of the same, with few improvements, and therein lies the rub: NFL Street 3 plays it far too safe. The new features work and the new modes are entertaining, but as a whole, it is sometimes too close to the previous edition.

    NFL Street 3
    A feature-rich offering that can be both extremely entertaining and equally frustrating to play.

    Asphalt: Urban GT 2
    Though the game is gussied up with smooth visuals (and again, the Pussycat Dolls), the incredible ease of each and every event ultimately renders the game worthless for most seasoned gamers.
    • 39 Metascore

    Pocket Racers
    Pocket Racers was made for the holiday rush as a cheap, new game that could be shoveled out to parents, resulting in sad kids who have just become victims of the shovelware industry yet again.

    EA Replay
    Congratulations, Electronic Arts. You've made me want you to start making Madden games again.

    Eragon
    While it's true that Eragon is not a game that will change your life or keep you hooked to your TV for 60 hours, it is a really damned fun co-op title where you and a buddy can wreak havoc on big orc-like critters with sick-looking neck-snapping and gut-stabbing moves.

    Eragon
    The graphics and sound are average, and nothing really jumps out and grabs your attention. Gameplay is very linear and built around the same engine that brought you "The Two Towers."

    Eragon
    For a game apparently seeking a younger audience, it can be far too difficult at times, and most children will probably even realize just how shallow the game's single-player experience is after 30 minutes.

    Eragon
    I'd recommend staying away from Eragon, but if you absolutely loved the book or movie and would love to swing Eragon's sword or "fly" Saphira, then, and only then, should you give Eragon a try.

    Eragon
    The title throws plot pieces at you seemingly at random and will confuse you if you aren't careful. Thankfully, the game manages to be enjoyable enough to make up for this fact, but in the end, Eragon is simply another middle-of-the-road offering.

    Gothic 3
    If the developers give us some heavy handed code-bandages, I predict that one day this will be at the very least an enjoyable RPG, if not the epic and sprawling adventure it was supposed to be.

    Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2
    Fairly long at over 40 scenarios, the title also offers a choice of path splits, and three different difficulty modes. Even after you're done, it can be a fun experience to try a new team or to get a missing skill point.

    Eragon
    At the very least, Eragon is tolerable, bug-free, and does not try to stuff the console versions into the tiny, low-power package of the GBA, thereby producing a distinct experience by licensed game standards.

    Tomb Raider: Legend
    Despite a few rough edges, I can say something I haven't been able to say in nearly a decade: I'm actually looking forward to the next Tomb Raider game.

    Medieval II: Total War
    The beautiful visuals and the turgid music and sound coalesce to create epic battles.

    My Frogger: Toy Trials
    The ball-rolling stages alone are reason to knock down the score several points. However, for a family with kids around eight or nine years old, My Frogger Toy Trials is easily worth the $30 price tag more so than many of the licensed kids' cartoon games out there.

    Winx Club: Quest for the Codex
    Between the up-and-down production values, the nonexistent storytelling, the strange shooting, and touch-screen funkiness, this game comes off as a cheap cash-in to make money off of the show’s second broadcast season.

    Ridge Racer 7
    Though I'll wholly admit that the game feels a bit soulless and overly calculated at times, I was pleasantly surprised by the overhauled career mode and the superb online play and integration.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Blitz: The League
    Even though it's basically a port with some additional features, Blitz still has addictive and intuitive gameplay that you can pick up time and time again.
    • 53 Metascore

    Dead or Alive Xtreme 2
    This is worlds beyond the bar set by The Guy Game, but not far enough to garner any respect. Stick with the fighting games, if you know what’s good for you.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    EverQuest II: Echoes of Faydwer
    It is possible to begin at level one and adventure all the way to level 70, without ever having left the continent of Faydwer. Perhaps it is for this reason that I find it to be the best of the content upgrades, it just seems so much fuller and well-rounded.

    Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action
    Much like Chicken Little before it, Ace in Action features rather large, surprisingly well-animated boss monsters, and just like Chicken Little before it, these bosses can be a downright bear with which to deal. Thankfully, in a game such as this, one is prepared for such difficulty, instead of it blindsiding you like in the earlier title.

    Gears of War
    Whether it is chainsawing or curb-stomping kids online, GoW is a fun game in all respects. I just wish Epic distributed their efforts more evenly because that would have pushed GoW that extra little bit to make it an all-time favorite.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent
    Splinter Cell: Double Agent offers more of the third-person stealth action we've come to expect from the Splinter Cell franchise, and it adds a unique, fast-paced multiplayer format unlike any online game I have played before.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Every Extend Extra
    It's refreshing to play Every Extend Extra because it doesn't rely on a convoluted storyline, talking heads, and so on, and I want more of this sort of thing, but blowing yourself up and making chains isn't enough to stand on its own. Even the new boss fights, which flaunt wildly imaginative designs, don't make up for the lacking experience.
