Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix doesn't have any frills and its mechanics -- while extremely well-tuned -- are simple. This is a game very dissimilar to modern fighters because it doesn't shower you with extra modes, art galleries or unlockables. It's admirably precise and meant for hardcore players, despite its increased approachability. So HD Remix isn't for everyone, but the gameplay represented in this download is extraordinarily balanced and deep. I spent hours learning the ways of the retooled Fei Long and just barely scratched the surface of it all. For such a reasonable price of $14.99, HD Remix is a very hard game to pass up.

This review is short, but for a reason - there's nothing exciting or notable about Need for Speed Undercover on the PSP whatsoever. The formula is essentially that of an old list-based racer with zero substance or style, faulty controls and piss-poor AI. There's no draw here whatsoever.

Players looking for high-octane in your face action will be disappointed by MySims. You can't die in this game, and you won't have to rely on any quick-reflex maneuvers. However, those missing elements only make MySims a relaxing experience. PC Gamers who didn't care for The Sims' constant micromanagement and were looking for a simpler and more streamlined experience might see a lot to like about MySims. I imagine a lot of little girls really getting into MySims. However, with that said, MySims can get a little repetitive. Tasks usually involve talking to people for missions, gathering all the necessary items, build, and repeat. The game's not very deep, nor does it try to be, but as it stands, it doesn't really offer anything new or exciting. However, those that enjoy customizing characters and decorating houses will get a kick out of MySims.

MySims Kingdom is a safe sequel with just enough improvements to satisfy fans of the first game. While some enhancements have arrived free of sacrifices, others have come with trade-offs. I love the new themed kingdom design, the significant improvements to load times, on-the-fly construction and Wii controller implementation. Meanwhile, I think the more focused storyline has also nurtured a more linear experience, a fact that clashes with the nature of the franchise. On the same note, the underdeveloped AI characters and missing online component seem at odds with the other Sims games. This is still a fun title -- one with more polish than the original -- but I think EA can still do much more with the series and am eagerly awaiting the next version.

Tomb Raider Underworld is a good game that Lara Croft fans will enjoy, but it’s not quite the experience that will live up to or even surpass that of Legend. It’s a shame, really, because there was a large amount of promise, particularly with the “What Could Lara Do?” system, which highlighted good controls for the game, more realistic animations and exploration for Lara, and slightly improved combat. Unfortunately, the game was held back by “What The Technology Couldn’t,” leaving Underworld firmly in Tomb Raider: Legend’s shadow. While the PC version has much sharper visuals and some tighter control, the camera can still hamper gameplay.

It feels like the development of Need for Speed Undercover DS was on autopilot: the team clearly didn't put a lot of effort into an energetic presentation. it's just a bland racing experience that isn't particularly bad, but it doesn't do anything all that great either.

Guitar Hero World Tour is a fun title, to be sure, but it's also a disappointment in a lot of respects. A number of things it tries to accomplish were already done better in Rock Band, which you might figure would have provided a simple blueprint to be followed and expanded upon, but that's not the case. The music creation tools are a great idea in theory, but the end result isn't as robust as I would have hoped it would be, both in terms of abilities as well as the songs that come out the other end. The game does have a good bit going for it and can serve to act as a stepping-off point for next year's game, whatever form that might take. Unfortunately, I thought the same of Guitar Hero III, and here we are.

Neopets Puzzle Adventure is a suitable puzzle game for younger players. There is a large existing Neopets audience, and Capcom has put in the effort to make a fun and good-looking game that should appeal to those fans. Gamers that have passed puberty and enjoyed Puzzle Quest will likely find Neopets to be a little shallow, though. But you could do a lot worse than 150+ matches of Othello with a twist.

Despite all its drawbacks, Lips succeeds in one key area, and that’s providing an engaging short-burst living room karaoke experience. The interface is remarkably easy to use, the initial track list is solid and the motion-sensitive light-up microphones are outstanding (although it remains to be seen how they will hold up with extended use). This isn’t a game that will provide you hours of solo enjoyment on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and if you’re expecting a full-featured music game on par with Rock Band or Guitar Hero, I’d advice against picking up Lips. For hardcore gamers, there’s nothing even remotely challenging about Lips, unless you count trying to use your iPod with it. But bust it out with the right group of (preferably tipsy) people, and you just might have a hit on your hands.

If you've played Candy Factory before, this is nothing new. It's the exact same game that is out on the PC and Wii with a few sprite and sound differences. The levels, events, machines, and customers are all identical. That being said, the DS has a smooth interface for the game that responds well to touch inputs. It controls solid and feels like a portable game. There are a lot of great puzzlers for the DS, and Candy Factory ranks in as a decent one. The number of levels doesn't make up for the shortness of rounds, but if you have a soft spot for puzzlers and candy you might want to check it out.
