Mortal Kombat: Armageddon may not be the definitive collection since it does leave some characters out, and some of the final endings may be weaker than others. However, the inclusion of 62 total warriors is a massive achievement. Throw in a fun, albeit short Konquest mode, a diversionary mini-game, a new fatality system, and perhaps one of the largest character creation modes we've seen, and you have a great title that will keep Mortal Kombat fans busy for months.

So we've established that difficulty is an issue, as it was in the original; it's not always a cakewalk, but you won't really struggle to progress through the storyline. Thankfully, Destroy All Humans! 2 provides enough variety and a quirky cast of characters to make it a worthwhile purchase for fans of the first and for gamers with a taste for the distinctly original.

After the horrifying experience that was last year's Spyro: Shadow Legacy, I wasn't expecting much out of Spyro's second outing on the Nintendo DS -- after all, the same development team responsible for that dragonic atrocity was put to the task of "restarting" Vivendi's property on the dual-screen handheld. My resistance to the game melted away as I got deeper into the game -- I was a little disappointed to find out that the adventuring element was almost completely removed from the design. But I continued to warm up to the game as the action heated up. The touch-screen targeting is pretty clever, as is the way the designers change up button and touch screen control during the action. The game still needs a bit tightening up -- the framerate's a bit of a drag at times, and the boss battles are very uncreative, but overall this action-ized Spyro game is a solid and surprising design on the Nintendo DS.

Très en deçà des Jagged Alliance, Brigade E5 restera tout de même un titre sympathique pour peu qu’on s'intéresse de près à la stratégie, aux armes et aux mercenaires virils enduits de sueur et de suie.

Adventure gaming might not be back yet, but this long-awaited sequel does a lot to renew my faith in the genre. The point and click format certainly isn't going to supplant real-time strategy or first-person shooting as the PC's bread and butter but the gameplay here is almost incidental to the experience. The real joy of playing Sam and Max is in watching the hilarious interactions unfold and in spotting the throwaway jokes hidden in magazine racks and picture frames. The only real downside here is that the game doesn't quite approach the level of screwball humor sound in the original game. It wavers on the edge sometimes, like it wants to fall over into absurdity but just isn't sure enough to take the plunge. Since this is the first in a series of episodes, we're hoping that the developers are just getting warmed up.

Why the Backyard franchise can’t get its act together is beyond us. It has the backing of professional teams, has been around for years, and has actually been selling relatively well. Rather than putting a bit of extra effort into the product, however, Backyard Baseball 2007 is just another cash-out, putting professional players on the cover of a lackluster bugfest in the attempt to fool consumers $20 at a time. The franchise has all the potential in the world to be a huge hit with younger players, but insists instead on slapping official licenses onto a total waste of a product. The gameplay is buggy and unbalanced, the graphics look amazingly dated, the audio is a total mess, and what little fun that can be found will grow tiresome in a few hours of play tops. When games like Mario Baseball exist, there’s simply no reason to give cash to underachieving products. Younger gamers deserve better.

If you know for sure that you can arrange multiplayer games, then picking up Power Stone Collection is a no brainer, as the gameplay is a fun as it ever was, but solo players will be left wanting.
