    New Blood is the furthest thing from what you’d call “casual”, but it’s so far from it that it also will turn away many hardcore gamers because of its unrelenting difficulty.

    Don't even bother with the Wii Zapper, it's a gimmick. Link's Crossbow Training is an average shooter which provides short bursts of enjoyment, but overall is a fairly basic game with a few highlights.

    A tough light gun shooter that offers a good length. Weird glitches and detection problems, as well as heavily recycled assets hold this game back from becoming a triple A title in the Resident Evil caliber.

    Contra 4's main Arcade mode is a remixed classic and a treat in its own right, but what really makes Contra 4 stand out is how it pays tribute to its fans by using the slick gameplay of the main game to craft an excellent Challenge Mode and consequently reward players with two classic NES titles and a bunch of nostalgic extra features to boot.

    Although dungeon crawlers can be irksome, the save function is a saving grace with Orcs & Elves as it makes playing the game much more fun.

    A solid, if unspectacular, campaign mode is coupled with an exceptional online to create one of the better 3rd party games on the Wii.

    Near flawless package. Gameplay, visuals, sound, presentation and overall value and fun are off the charts.

    Its presentation and decent execution put it beyond mediocrity, but its fumbling inconsistency, repetition, and lack of defined flair fail to truly set it apart from others of its kind.

    In a platform where there are hundreds of puzzle games, Neves manages to stand out with a spot on price and is just enjoyable and addictive.

    The aesthetics of the game are charming, although bland. The graphics are nothing special and the music is calm and forgettable. Tons of words and a decent handful of mini-games (multiplayer versions included) might suffice for a casual quick-play and you might actually learn something.

    The story will captivate you to till the end and the gameplay, while repetitive in nature, has enough to charm any fan of stealth games.

    Wii controls do nothing to improve the game, but it's still classic Battalion Wars gameplay. A bit more depth in the strategy department, but overall the game is a bit easier and shorter than the original.

    Veterans, this game is everything you could hope for an more. While Battle was a bust, what is still tried and true to the series is still amazing.

    Dementium is definitely easy to interact with, and it flows quite nicely.
    • 87 Metascore

    Its unique if sometimes Japanese-infused presentation sports a snappy visual design and an excellent musical score, but the real hook is the superb puzzle design.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Excellent gameplay, challenge and visuals. Voice work and story are the only low marks.
    • 81 Metascore

    The story is phenomenal, the music is some of the best, and it leaves Phoenix Wright and friends off on a spectacular note.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.

    Most people aren’t going to spend an entire day sitting their playing the game, but the laid back and comforting idea behind the game is brilliant for just sitting back and relaxing for an hour or so after a long day.

    The game is simplistic at best; it doesn’t come with a lot of bells and whistles, and in some cases lacks what Brain Age set up as the fundamental training video game.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 51 Metascore

    Massive levels, decent fighting mechanics and challenging boss battles can't make up for lackluster gameplay, poor visuals and a rather bland story.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.

    • 20 Critic Score
    No matter what kind of gamer you call yourself, there's virtually no reason to buy or even play this game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The promise of its ideals are lost to mediocre development, dragged down by a lack of guidance and refinement.
