    SoulCalibur Legends
    Interesting motion controls can not save this action title from its poor graphics and presentation to its even worse gameplay. A total disappointment from a development team that is capable of so much more.

    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.

    PDC World Championship Darts 2008
    Despite the dreadful audio PDC Darts World Championship is a good darts simulation. With a few minor problems with the controls and a few uninspiring graphics the game will keep many occupied for many hours.

    NBA Live 09 All-Play
    Bad graphics and the odd bug are acceptable on a game of substance. However, NBA Live 09: All-Play lacks a career mode, and is only as good as the person online that can be played against. Unfortunately, AI is so odd that it makes multiplayer somewhat futile after long periods of time.

    Hurry Up Hedgehog!
    For a game so predominantly marketed towards children, the title is actually fairly challenging and enjoyable. At the lower end of the price spectrum this is a great deal for people who played the original board game and for those who fancy a quick, fun little game.

    Pirates: Duels on the High Seas
    The lack of online multiplayer really brings the score down for Pirates: Duels on the High Sea. With the repetitive gameplay in the singleplayer mode, an online multiplayer mode would really have made Pirates much more fun.

    Manic Monkey Mayhem
    Manic Monkey Mayhem has managed to squeeze an awful lot into the WiiWare package. With some incredible gameplay available, the biggest problem with Manic Monkey Mayhem is that the mantra of keeping things simple has gone too far and there needs to be more tracking of scores and a revisit to the controls of the main game.

    Baroque
    Baroque is a marmite game: you’ll either love it or hate it. It’s a piece of interactive fiction genius and although the gameplay can be a little poor at times, the entire package is great and is well worth picking up if you enjoy a hard, dungeon crawler challenge.

    The Sims 2: Apartment Pets
    The Sims 2: Apartment Pets is fairly engaging for a few hours, but unfortunately it becomes stale very quickly as the Sim character itself requires far too little attention. A great concept, but owing to the awkward controls and the lack of care needed for the Sim, there’s just too much monotony.

    Castlevania Judgment
    On top of all of this, the gameplay is generally too simple for its own good. Judgment is an adequate if simplistic fighter, taking a step in the wrong direction for each original and unique thing it attempts to do. It doesn't even pay good homage to its source material.

    Calling
    If your a fan of Fatal Frame and Japanese Horror in general, you will probably like Calling. It succeeds in being scary without the shock and gore factor, but don't expect stellar gameplay.

    Mega Brain Boost
    Mega Brain Boost is a game that does precisely what it intends to do, but little else. If you are a gamer who finds these kinds of games worthwhile, then the game can feature somewhat decent gameplay, but any other gamer should not bother themselves with it.

    Brave: A Warrior's Tale
    Even at a lower price, Brave is not worth the effort of playing.

    G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    Difficult to navigate maps, poor collision detection, and boorish level design leads this to be a game to pass on in the end.

    Frogger Returns
    I honestly can’t come up with anything truly positive to say about this game. Stay away from it. You’ll just end up being frustrated with the controls and the camera and walk away disappointed like I did. If you are looking for a classic reboot done right, try "Contra Rebirth" or "Mega Man 9" instead.

    101-in-1 Explosive Megamix
    101 in 1 Explosive MegaMix is generally a good game but its inconsistency, along with the sore spot that the minigames are all locked from the get go, make it hard to truly recommend.

    The Incredible Hulk
    The start of this promising franchise was so good that this game pales in comparison. It’s not the worst movie to game tie-in in recent years -- The Golden Compass has to take that spot -- but it’s certainly not far off.

    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.

    Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi
    Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi is a decent platformer that tries a little to hard to put as many features as possible into the game and ends up over complicating itself. A few odd design and control choices hamper the moody and unique atmosphere and pales in comparison to its console counterpart.

    Napoleon Dynamite: The Game
    A lackluster presentation does nothing to help make the minigames available worth playing -- in and of themselves, the minigames are adequate, with a few near-broken ones tossed in, but there's simply no life or feeling contained therein.

    Summation: Buy if you are a fan, rent and be cautious otherwise.

    Godzilla: Unleashed
    There are plenty of great ideas to be found, though not a whole lot of polish or execution.

    Iron Man
    Overall, the Iron Man title on the Wii lacked the spark that the film had; however, it’s a huge step up from last year's A2M film franchise adaptation, known as The Golden Compass. That said, if players are looking for a film to game adaptation that actually reflects the film, they should look elsewhere.

    Fast Draw Showdown
    While the difficulty does come close to being cheap at times, it’s not to the point of making you want to stop playing the game forever. If you have an extra five bucks to burn, give it a shot.

    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.

    Jackass the Game
    Sub-par gameplay with almost unbearable controls. Boring, uninspired content, from missions, to visuals, to the audio work. Not even hardcore fans of the show should spend more money than a rental on this sucker.

    George of the Jungle and the Search for the Secret
    George of the Jungle may be aimed at young children, and their requirements may be different from that of a videogame reviewer, but this is just nothing more than sloppy.

    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.

    Pet Pals: Animal Doctor
    Sadly, the game only has five short “chapters”, making it easily play-able in less then an afternoon sitting. The only replay value is in trying to master each case on hard mode. So unless you’re planning on becoming a vet, or you want an interactive book to teach you more about animal medicine, I’d steer clear of this one.

    Petz Rescue: Wildlife Vet
    Overall, Wildlife Vet is a well designed game. The game-play is short and easy to complete, but is entertaining enough to keep players occupied and wanting to play on. In addition, the graphics and background music are both quite impressive and very well done. The controls are easy to use and are pick-up-and-go. All in all, because of the unfortunately short game-play, Petz Rescue: Wildlife Vet gets a 9 out of 10.
