    Bleach: The Blade of Fate
    Even if the branding were stripped from the title, this game would still be a solid and enjoyable fighting game. Bleach fans will enjoy the title more due to the nature of the storyline and the general presentation of the game.

    Flipper Critters
    A good attempt at trying something that is very original, but it appears the game has too many rough edges and unpolished gameplay. A bit more meat to the game and some more personality would have elevated this to a very solid title.

    Bleach: Shattered Blade
    Bleach: Shattered Blade ultimately lacks the depth and sophistication that many fighting games require. With forgettable music and virtually no story, this game can easily be confined to Bleach fans only.

    Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast
    After a mere couple of hours, players will feel as if they're beating a dead horse rather than a pair of bongos -- which isn't even an option in the first place despite the clear theme of drums and the obvious Gamecube controller ports.

    The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
    It's just nearly-perfected Zelda gameplay. If you're looking for something more than just a new way to play Zelda, as in, something different in terms of how Zelda plays, then you're barking up the wrong tree.

    Crayola Treasure Adventures
    The key elements of the game don’t quite impress, but the lighthearted novelty may appeal to a few adults and a good handful of children. The coloring book portion of the game is the highlight of the title, pulling it slightly back up from the other areas where it slips a little.

    Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire
    Massive levels, decent fighting mechanics and challenging boss battles can't make up for lackluster gameplay, poor visuals and a rather bland story.

    Dewy's Adventure
    The poor camera work and awkward controls work against the player, leaving them with a frustrating experience few will have the patience to put up with.

    Spelling Challenges and More!
    No matter what kind of gamer you call yourself, there's virtually no reason to buy or even play this game.

    MySims
    The promise of its ideals are lost to mediocre development, dragged down by a lack of guidance and refinement.
    • 78 Metascore

    Sonic Rush Adventure
    While the standard levels are classic fast-paced Sonic action, some of the standard adventure mode elements are a mixed bag. The game is over too soon and the game is to fragmented.

    Jam Sessions
    Jam Sessions is the simulator for musicians at heart. Featuring any note you could want from a guitar and the ability to record your music, it can deliver hours and hours of soul food for self-expression and the arts. For everyone else, there is still Guitar Hero.

    I SPY Fun House
    I Spy Fun House is a simple kids game with nothing to it. The game is presented blandly without much style, music, or fun.

    Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
    Corruption provides great first-person controls and really takes advantage of the Wii's unique controller setup.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day
    While still a solid game that gets its point across, it could stand to use a few more brain-training exercises or other play modes. What we get is perfectly satisfactory and will either make or break you in terms of whether or not you’re a total nincompoop or some sort of genius.

    Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon
    Those who adore the franchise will most likely find this title worthwhile due to the steps it takes to advance the series into foreign territory, but these gamers have also stuck with the Harvest Moon games for a reason: they can cope with a bevy of flawed design choices to appreciate the redundancy of farming these casual titles provide.

    Madden NFL 08
    Wii controls draw players into the game more than before, though some sensitivity issues arise from the Wii's control scheme options for certain actions (like kicking). Visuals are below expectations, which is something EA needs to work on more in the next version.

    Mario Strikers Charged
    The motion-sensing functionality is stripped to a bare minimum, but what's there is satisfying.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Escape from Bug Island
    The game is around 20 hours long for the average gamer, and the game has three varying difficulty settings, making the game a cake walk or an all out nightmare.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    Overall an enjoyable title for most, and definite must-have for Potter fans. Some more casual gamers may find the game boring after only a short time.

    Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
    If you have only played the GameCube version, then you’ll be delighted to hear that the Wii edition has all the extras that were only previously available in the PlayStation2 release. These extras, combined with the excellent graphics of the GameCube version and the superior Wii control scheme, makes the latest incarnation of the Resident Evil series definitely worth the purchase.

    Mario Party 8
    A slopped together and stripped down fest of mediocre minigames.
    • 75 Metascore

    Etrian Odyssey
    Etrian Odyssey is not for the faint of heart, there are consequences of falling in love with this game – lack of free time, as it will capture you. Yet the lack of appeal for the general audience is a big turn off for most.

    Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
    A wonderful spin off in the well-known franchise. It serves its namesake well, but in a completely new way not seen before.

    Wario: Master of Disguise
    It’s a shame to see great anti-heroes fall to such depths.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hotel Dusk: Room 215
    With rich characters brimming to the top with personality, an intriguing if highly coincidental plot, and tons of interesting uses of the DS, Hotel Dusk engages the mind and heart and takes players to an unexplored sector of the gaming universe and keeps them there for a long time.

    Super Swing Golf
    Although Super Swing Golf has various mechanics of a serious looking golf game, the actual style itself will put many gamers off, which is a shame. As for those of you who like golf and own a Wii, this really is a must-have.
    • 87 Metascore

    Elite Beat Agents
    Easily one of the best handheld games to hit us in a long while--it is fresh and addictive, easy to play, and hard to master.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Trace Memory
    Trace Memory is an adequate title in its genre that manages to have a decent plot with likable characters, but its presentation is notably bare, as is its gameplay -- save for a handful of interesting DS-related puzzles.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Doodle Hex
    For many players, the fact that the incredibly simple premise of drawing is entirely tainted by the need to spend many hours on the game may be off putting. However, for those people who have the time to put more than seven to ten hours into a game, Doodle Hex is incredibly rewarding. With a rich and fulfilling battle system, and an interesting (albeit slightly contrived) storyline, is entertaining. This title is a must for all fans of anything challenging or difficult.
