Mary-Kate & Ashley Sweet 16: Licensed to Drive can be a reasonably entertaining game if you can find a group of friends who come it at with the right mindset. All of the games are simple to play and some can be fun for a few rounds. As intended, though, this game is best suited for existing young fans of Mary-Kate & Ashley. Those lucky millions will probably enjoy this game a great deal, especially when they get together with a bunch of friends.

Will Rock has some misses, but for twenty bucks, it delivers an action-packed, no-brain-required show. If you're one of the those who routinely played Serious Sam, swore a lot, died a lot and then found yourself doing it again, here's a Rock you just might want to crawl under for a while.

I've had it with this game. I'm quitting immediately. Alright, where's that exit button? Hmmm, it's not in the main menu and not in any relevant submenus. Trying to trick me into continually playing, are you Perfect Ace? We'll see about that! Don't think I'm not above hurling a brick at my computer to free it from your torturous grasp, you bastard. That's it, where's my killing brick at, Dan? Wait! Of course, the exit button is hidden in the "About" menu. Marvelously deceptive. If only the rest of Perfect Ace could be so clever. If only that same someone, somewhere who had a light bulb burst in his head actually played Virtua Tennis and made it a priority to outdo that game and not disgrace its very existence with this, the title that's designed to wipe a boy clean of his will, decency, love for the sport, and faith in mankind. Perfect Ace is not so wretched in any one area that it deserves to be spooned into the fire pit with Air Raid and Varmint Hunter, but it's so disgracefully lacking in so many different ways that justifying its purchase would be such a huge effort in lying, even the Devil himself would dare not undertake it. And he's called the Prince of Lies, for crying out loud! Forget this game and this review and whip out the Dreamcast or attempt to find Empire's elusive port of Virtua Tennis for the PC, assuming you don't have a PS2 and a copy of Tennis 2k2. Perhaps then you might actually find joy.

I have little left to say that wasn¿t mentioned in this review. Let¿s just say this is equivalent to Jeremy McGrath showing up to the party two years later. Theoretically, I should love SX Superstar. It¿s an arcade racer that offers lots of air and a stunt system. SX even has a lifestyle simulator, which could have been interesting if you actually made decisions about your lifestyle instead of listening to answering machine messages. The problem is that with so many shortcomings, SX Superstar has to entice you into playing it with, and what little there is just isn¿t all that fun.

While it won't win any beauty contests, and the control is a little tough to master at first, Freestyle Metal X is unique in that it is a trick-based motocross game. Most of the others, including the trick-heavy Freekstyle, have been racers at their core. This is fresher. FMX is nearly an 8, and should appeal to extreme sports game fans across the board. Even if you've been bored with the recent crop of X-titles, check this one out. It's wide-open, fun and has a good sense of humor, to boot. Besides, who can resist the allure of Motley Crue, Megadeth and Motorhead contributing heavily to the soundtrack?

Overall Shadows of Undrentide is a quality expansion pack, but whether or not to get it really comes down to do you really want to spend the money on a new module. It's certainly professional and well done, but so are user-created modules like Birthright of the North or the Dreamcatcher series. If you're a Neverwinter modder you'll probably want to get it just for the tilesets, creatures and new scripting wizards and NWN fans will find plenty here to keep them busy, but Shadows of Undrentide isn't a "must-have now" expansion pack for the average gamer.

I'm surprised more companies don't release games for $20. At $20, more people will take a chance on it and be rewarded. The game isn't bad. In fact, it's fun, mainly due to the chainsaw and shotgun action. The one-liners themselves are worth at least a rental. It isn't the most technically stunning game you'll ever see, but it does have Bruce Campbell and a brand new storyline within the world of Evil Dead. Those burned by Hail to the King, give this one a try. It's a lot better. Fans should pick it up for $20, and everyone else should probably rent it.

Wakeboarding Unleashed isn't as good as Aggressive Inline or the Tony Hawk series, but it is a great deal of fun. In fact, this is one of my favorite extreme sports games, despite some of the standard features missing from the game. It's challenging, it's incredibly long, and the gameplay is distinctly wakeboarding. Heck, before Unleashed came along, I didn't even know what kind of gameplay could define wakeboarding. This is it. You don't have to dig wakeboarding or even know who Shaun Murray is to enjoy the game. Wakeboarding Unleashed is a refreshing change from the latest batch of extreme sports games, but probably isn't going to make you change your religion or enlighten your video game life. The multiplayer is deserving of the high praise and the single-player career mode is solid. If you've been waiting for a new extreme sports game to chomp into, give Unleashed a try. If you don't like it, you can always roll your eyes and curse that damned IGN editor who steered you wrong. That's what I always do.

Possessing a complete lack of knowledge in rally racing in real life, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect from V-Rally 3. I was completely taken by surprise by how much I enjoyed racing through the wooded courses of England, the open dusty plains of Africa, and the snowy landscapes of Sweden. I will have to warn those looking for a serious rally racing simulation that you might want to keep looking. I dislike simulation games, and primarily stick to arcade racers like San Francisco Rush. I interpret the quickness and ease it took me to get accustomed to and enjoy V-Rally 3 as a racer as a sign that this arcade simulation hybrid is more arcade than sim. I was pleased with the overall package that is V-Rally 3. How much longevity you can squeeze out of the title after you win V-Rally mode is questionable, but at least there are a decent amount of tracks to occupy you. The only real questionable characteristic of V-Rally 3 is the graphical inconsistencies.

Bloody Roar Extreme is a tough game to assign a score to. On one hand, it's a moderately entertaining fighter with an interesting gimmick and enough modes to give it a good amount of replay value. On the other hand, the game's fighting system and control scheme are in desperate need of a revamp, this is pretty much the same game I've been playing on the PS2 since 2001, and furries make me uncomfortable. What tips the scales in favor of Bloody Roar is its price. At under $30, it's not a bad deal at all, even if you only break it out occasionally when too tired, inebriated or otherwise unable to play a more complicated game. Another factor in Bloody Roar's favor is the lack of quality fighting games for the Xbox. While it's certainly not as good as, say, Dead or Alive 3, it's sure as heck a whole lot better than Kakuto Chojin. If you're in the market for a new 3D fighting game and you've already played DOA3, Mortal Kombat: Dark Alliance and Tao Feng, Bloody Roar Extreme may be just the thing for you. Just don't develop a fursuit fetish, huh?
