 | "This one's a no brainer" | 2009-11-05 |
There's really no reason NOT to get this. Sure, the games aren't that great, but they're still some fun with friends and for the same price as a regular remote, you can't go wrong.

 | Rayman Raving Rabbids |
 | "Fun, but not "Rayman"" | 2009-11-05 |
This game doesn't really fall into the Rayman game world, so if you're expecting a platforming/action game, don't bother. As far as party games go, it's not bad and has some fun and funny moments thanks to the parodies that the Rabbids lend themselves to.

| "Great, but not perfect." | 2009-11-05 |
I finally got my hands on a Wii after all this time and to be honest, I could've waited longer. As great as some of the games are, there are very few of them and the unique control scheme only dazzles you for so long. There's lots of great games on the horizon and this system is the ONLY place you'll find games like Zelda, mario and Metroid. On top of that, with the wii network where you can download hundreds of retro games, it has the largest library of games hands down, so long as you don't have any of the past systems/games that they came out on.
In the end, this game shows lots of promise, but so far hasn't quite lived up to the hype yet

 | Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 |
 | "this one's good, but the first was better." | 2009-11-05 |
This is a straight up party game. Where the first one was still fun to play by yourself if you got bored, this one really has nothing to offer a single player. Since this is directed more towards a group setting, that's fine. But it also has nothing to do with the first game aside from the main "villians". The funnest minigame in the first one, the song/dance levels, have been reworked and though still enjoyable, aren't as fun.

 | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess |
| "Well worth every penny!" | 2009-11-05 |
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this game. The controls were different, you turn into a wolf and I already cringed at the idea of aiming with the Wiimote (it sucked on another game). But this game proved that Zelda is one of the best franchises ever and has plenty of room to evolve and branch out simply because of the fantasy world it's set in. If you love the series or if you just want to add an amazing game to an admittedly slim Wii library, get this game!

 | Half Life: Orange Box |
| "What's stopping you?" | 2009-11-05 |
I've enjoyed this title since it came out on the PC years ago and now that they have so many Half Life 2 games on one disc, how can you NOT buy it? If you enjoy FPS games, this is a must for you. It's inventive, great story telling, great pacing and a threat that makes the Flood in Halo look like a trickle. It's amazing. 'Nuff said,

| "Just like a wedding..." | 2009-11-05 |
Just like a wedding, this game has something new, something old... and I forget the rest. It follows the standard RPG gameplay pretty consistantly. The appeal of this game is there are few RPGs for the PS3 so far, this one has a cool story which isn't set in the typical dragons and wizards realm and it has a "monster catcher" power up system that makes use of the Staxis controller, something that even most action games haven't really put into use yet. To top it off, you can get this game for cheap now, so you can't go wrong unless you hate role playing games.

 | Playstation 3 40GB Spider-Man Movie Pack |
| "Many better versions out now." | 2009-11-02 |
If you don't mind having to delete your saves within a short amount of time, go ahead and get this system. But if I could turn back time and get my money back, I'd get the 80GB version. It has more functions than the 40, and if you're lucky, you can still find a Metal Gear Solid 4 version with a duelshock 3 controller for the same price of a regular 80GB

 | Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction |
| "Fun for everyone." | 2009-11-02 |
This is platforming gaming at it's best. If you've played the past games, you know what to expect, but it's also a perfect jump on point for people new to the series. If you can figure out a controller, you can play this game and it's enjoyable for any age of gamer.

| "Not what it promised." | 2009-11-02 |
This movie was way over hyped as a bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. While there are some of the same characters and it helps to establish Batman as Gotham's hero, it really doesn't have much of any direct ties to the movies. As much as I love Kevin Conroy's Batman from the animated series, I also thought he was miscast in this movie. The different art style and universe it's set in just feel like they should've gone with someone else.

 | Sonic the Hedgehog |
 | "Bargin bin only... if that." | 2009-11-02 |
I was a huge fan of Sonic in the Genesis days, but any 3D version has been a dissapointment, and this game is no different. The camera has been the biggest issue and the trend continues for this one. Speed is Sonic's gig and they just haven't figured out a way to mesh that with a 3D world, but they are getting closer. There were parts that showed promise, but it still doesn't make it a good game. Playable for only the most hardcore Sonic fans.

 | Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures |
| "If you played lego Star Wars..." | 2009-11-02 |
If you played Lego Star Wars, you basically know what to expect from this game. There is more of a focus on puzzles more than straight out fighting though. But since there's no real difference between this version and the PS2 version (except better graphics) I'd save the extra money and just get the PS2 copy. There was also a couple times where a lego needed to complete a puzzle would disappear when dropped and I'd have to start the leve all over again.

 | Fable with Bonus DVD |
| "Good, but get the Lost Chapters edition." | 2009-11-02 |
While this game is great in it's own right, if you can get a copy of Fable: Lost Chapters, you should get that one instead. It's the same game, but with more content and costs about the same.

 | New Super Mario Bros. DS |
| "Everything you love and more" | 2009-10-11 |
If you loved this series in the past and have a DS, this is one title you must own. There's very little that's not to be enjoyed and is challenging enough for almost any age
|
 | Super Smash Bros. Brawl |
| "Another good game in the series" | 2009-10-11 |
If you like the Smash bros series, you should get this game. There's lots of fun to be had with friends, but aside from the new characters, there's little here that you haven't done before
