I have to admit to being rather disappointed in Gangs of London. There was a lot of promise with the game, particularly because it touted five perspectives on taking over the city, as well as a game sharing feature that would let friends play a demo that would be unique to their personal PSP. But after playing the actual title, there's no way that I'd want to subject friends to the bland missions, continually infuriating AI and gameplay issues and repetitive story structure. While Gang Battle and some of the Pub and Free Roam modes are engaging for a while, they won't make up for the exceedingly sloppy play of the Story Mode.

The FIFA series started strong last year, took a slight dip during the World Cup, and now it's back for 2007. Its impact isn't as strong as the first go-around, but it's still pretty significant. It's a good continuation that builds upon the version released just a few months prior. There's still room for improvement and with the Nintendo DS continuing to gain momentum in the market a 2008 rendition next year is almost inevitable. And when that happens, we expect online play. No excuses this time.

There's not a ton to say about MotoGP on the PSP simply because there isn't a lot there. The Season mode is as basic as it gets, and there isn't much besides that. The riding mechanics are fantastic, however, and that's what makes the game a nice pickup for motorcycle racing fans.

If you're a huge Dig Dug fan or haven't ever played it before, then the Xbox Live Arcade version is worth downloading. The game has been released on plenty of other compilations at a more wallet-friendly price, but the Leaderboards and Achievement points are a good reason to take another look at a classic game. Still, the price is a bit steep for a game that is 25 years old and doesn't even have the multiplayer options that the original did. At a lower price, we'd recommend Dig Dug without hesitation. It is, after all, an extremely fun and addicting game. For five dollars, Dig Dug on Live Arcade becomes more of a game for the hardcore fans and uninitiated.

It has arrived late, but the Wii version of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is still fun and still a very deep fighter. The new gesture based controls seem like a bad idea, and yet in practice they feel responsive and satisfying to perform… most of the time. Very occasionally, your movements won't be recognized, which is troubling. It may just be that our gestures are performed inaccurately, but of course that also means the majority of novice players will undoubtedly encounter the same issue and thus it still remains. Thankfully, you can use either the classic controller or GameCube pad as an alternate at any time, even when playing against someone who prefers the Wii remote and nunchuk. Armageddon is otherwise the same game as its predecessors on PS2 and Xbox plus one new character, Khameleon, and minus an online mode. The additional fighter is welcomed, but she hardly makes up for the lack of online play, which is why Armageddon has received a lower score on Wii than its counterparts. Even with a lower score, this is Wii's best fighter and we can safely recommend it to any franchise fan.

Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle is a GBA game that wants to be a DS game when it grows up. The shooting is fun for the most part, but we would have preferred more challenging gameplay. There isn't much gameplay to be had, so the game is somewhat limited to fans of shooters or Danny Phantom. Still, we could see the series shaping up to be a solid license game in the future.

Bratz: Forever Diamondz serves as a playable counterpart to the newest Bratz-branded straight-to-DVD movie, but there's just not much playability here. Young girls who share the Bratz characters' passion for fashion would be better off simply adding another of the dolls to their collection, rather than wasting time with this shallow array of mini-games.

FIFA 07 is a fun, fast-paced game of soccer and EA's finest effort to date. While the effort to imitate the best elements of Winning Eleven is obvious, EA does its own fair share of innovation with some great long-pall passing, jostling and PS2 connectivity. With solid visuals and sound and a dearth of gamemodes, FIFA 07 is one of the best sports games of the year and an excellent game of soccer on the go. Still, the gameplay must be tightened up before it can overtake the competition.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is the greatest Tiger yet, but it's starting to feel like season five of The Sopranos. It's still the greatest show on TV, but it's starting to feel a bit stale. Maybe we have just become inoculated to the greatness; who knows? What is true is that the graphics and sound are straight out of 06, which is straight out of 05. That said, EA packed a ton of content and options onto that little disc, including difficulty sliders that will leave you bending your sand wedge over your knee. Tiger 07 is the best of the old Tiger; it's the best of the new Tiger; and it's still the best golf title on the market.

Cabela's Alaskan Adventures needed a complete overhaul for Xbox 360 and, instead, we've been given a sloppy port of the old generation engine and gameplay. The way hunting and fishing are presented falls outside the realms of pure simulation and arcade fun, making for a confounding mishmash of ideas that don't work together. The presentation, graphics and sound too are indicative of Alaskan Adventure's budget status. With all of the progress made in recent years towards creating good stealth and FPS engines, as well as in AI, its clear that with the proper design and effort, an excellent hunting and fishing game could be made. That was not the case here.

Released right around the same time as THQ's Company of Heroes, Faces of War suffers from the worst case of bad timing since Abraham Lincoln decided to wait until intermission to get some popcorn. While the game might have stood well on its own, the comparisons to Company of Heroes are inevitable and almost universally unfavorable to Faces of War. It does offer some challenging tactical battles, loads of physics-driven mayhem and the novelty of directly controlling your units. While that certainly made the original game a nice treat, those same features don't really do enough to separate Faces of War from the other World War 2 RTS games that have been released in the last year or two.
