Harley-Davidson: Race to the Rally feels like it was designed by folks who didn't really care or didn't really understand what would make a racing game fun, or even competently done. This feels like a quick demo for a game that was never finished and never will be. Seeing the boost effect is cool for a few seconds when you think you're going to be playing some fast and crazy racer, but really it's just fast. Fast and dumb and not worthy of your time.

2K Sport created a very impressive game... on the Xbox 360. College Hoops 2K7 on the PS2 is more of a cut-and-paste job of 2K6, with virtually identical graphics and sound. A few nice control tweaks like the jump stop doesn't add anything fresh, however. While the presentation, Legacy and online play are all great, 2K7 feels more like a roster update. It's a great value if you don't have 2K6 and love college hoops. If you do own College Hoops, you may just want to update your rosters.

Charlotte's Web, the book, is an undeniable classic. Kids have been reading it for over half a century, and likely still will be half a century from now. Charlotte's Web, the game, is not destined for such a grand legacy. It's a fair platformer, but its protagonist pig isn't very capable or compelling to play as. The level design, too, lacks variety – there never were a lot of scenery changes in E.B. White's original story. If you or your kids still feel drawn to making a purchase, go for the DS version. It's more fully featured than its GBA counterpart, and will remain entertaining for longer. But also consider saving the 30 bucks on the game, and spending eight dollars instead on the book that started it all. If there's a young boy or girl in your life who hasn't yet experienced it, they deserve the chance to see what over 50 years of fuss is all about.

The core system of getting cards, sorting them out, making decks, and battling is lovely and smooth. The rest of, well, everything, is clunky and mishandled. As an extra special kick there's no online play. So whoop-de-do you're stuck in one of the most blah places on earth begging another guy to fight so that you can watch as brainless robots combat each other. Maybe this will led to a better game in the future.

The Solomon franchise hasn't been heard from in quite a while – its most recent release was the re-branded GBC port Monster Rancher Explorer, released over six years ago. The unique and challenging combination of platforming and puzzle elements contained inside this Key is something you don't get to see in gaming anymore – that, and the fact that this game is Tecmo's sole representation in the Wii Shop for the time being, makes this download a stand-out among the NES Virtual Console lineup.

Super Star Soldier is the sole shooter so far on the Wii's Virtual Console, and Hudson's decision to include it in their first batch of TurboGrafx games was a wise one. The game holds up well after over a decade and a half, and it's likely to find an all-new audience of fans that missed out on its original release years ago. If you like jumping into the cockpit of games like R-Type or Gradius, hop in and give this lesser-known ship a spin.

Playing it safe in your game design can lead to a fun title, but will never result in a classic. Victory Run is a fair rally racer that is still fun to play, but just isn't all that remarkable in any aspect. Fans of the genre can play it safe themselves and resist downloading this one, as other, more classic racing titles will be available on the service in the year to come. Those wanting an immediate 16-bit solution to their need for speed would do well to look toward Nintendo's SNES effort, F-Zero.

Eragon for the DS is a game so ambitious and huge, absolutely refusing to scale down its console-like design that I have to recommend it in spite of its many flaws. I actually wish it weren't a movie tie-in so that Amaze could revisit the game, address its problems and continue the series on the DS. Easily-frustrated gamers may be put off by several of the above-mentioned criticisms, but those looking for a solid action title (and willing to overlook some nagging flaws) might find something very special here.

It was great for free, as a packed-in Genesis cartridge back in 1989. It’s not so great, or even good, for 800 Points, as a digitally downloadable Virtual Console title on the Wii today. Altered Beast should only be considered for download by Sega gamers of yesteryear, nostalgic to re-experience this arcade port in all its voice-distorting glory. Other players simply looking for fresh and inventive games from the Genesis back catalog would be better served spending their Wii Points on pretty much any other Sega title on offer. Pack-ins may be making a comeback, but Altered Beast is one old bundled bonus that you wouldn’t have missed much if it had been left out of the box.

If there's much to save the experience of Platypus, I couldn't quite say what it was. There is nothing here that stands out beyond the clay graphics and even those are shrunk to complete irrelevance. It's definitely a side-scrolling shooter and if you're so desperate for a new one, then this will be familiar. But aside from that there's little reason to pick this up. If you want a clay fix, buy some Play-Doh. But if you want to play a fun game look most everywhere else.

The son of Kong arrives here in a complete conversion of his arcade debut, but this game's too short of an experience to recommend (never mind that it's already been made available through Animal Crossing and as the packed-in "launch title" for the Game Boy Advance e-Reader just a few years ago.) It's nice to see Junior, but not enough to warrant a purchase on his own.

2D platforming was one of the industry's most popular genres through the 8- and 16-bit generations, and Bonk's first outing is one of the classics of the age (inspiring numerous sequels, spin-offs and ports in following years). Those follow-ups you can safely go without -- but the original Bonk's Adventure is firmly recommended as an icon of the 16-bit era's oft-forgotten third place finisher.

As far as Trek games go, Tactical Assault beats out many of its predecessors. Sadly, that's not too hard to do. It offers a decent mix of strategy and action, though both halves never gel very well. The option to pilot several vessels in two different campaigns is definitely nice, but the story and missions could have used more variety. Lastly, Tactical Assault looks and sounds the part, though Trek aficionados will still find the game's presentation ho-hum.
