Galaxy Force II wasn't a mindblowing graphical sensation in the arcades, but it was certainly superior to the port we have here -- and those more impressive visuals, paired with the unique shape of the actual coin-op cabinet (it had a built-in seat, pedals for acceleration and braking, and everything) were the things that made this game worth spending some time and quarters on in the late '80s. Deprived of those most novel qualities, restricted to a compromised version made to work on the less-powerful Genesis hardware, and, now, removed 20 years from the era of its first arrival, there's little reason any more to pay attention to a game like this. Save your 800 Wii Points for other, better selections sometime in the future. Like, say, actual Virtual Console Arcade releases.

Zen Pinball is a great social experience for the PlayStation Network. It gets video pinball right, and then adds a bunch of compelling competitive features for both local and online play. The menus are slick, the tables are inventive, and there are fun extras like slow motion available. It's impossible for video pinball to truly replicate the experience of a real table, but Zen Pinball makes up for that with new features that you don't get with the real thing. This is one of the best video pinball games around.

Raiden Fighters Aces is a good deal for anybody that loves top-down shooters or has nostalgic memories for Raiden. The budget price and good assortment of options leave little to be desired, though the absence of online multiplayer is a letdown. As a package of arcade games, the actual content is still rather slim and anybody looking for a visual showcase on their 360 should look elsewhere.

After de Blob and now Swords & Soldiers, Ronimo Games is definitely a developer to watch. There is nothing else like this on WiiWare, and the production values are much higher than most other games on the service. Strategy fans should find their fix here – just don't expect as deep an experience as some of the better-known real-time strategy games on PC. Removing a dimension and making the gameplay side-scrolling was a great way to get this genre working on a console. Swords & Soldiers was built for Wii, and as such it plays very well on the system. Don't let this one pass you by -- it's one of the best console RTS games ever.

With a process as complicated as game development, there's the potential for a lot of things to go wrong. With Box Office Bust, what went wrong turns out to be almost everything. The lowest rating numbers here at IGN are reserved for games with nearly no redeeming qualities or interesting ideas, with next to nothing enjoyable to offer players, and which under no circumstances should be purchased by anyone. Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust is, without a doubt, one of those games.

For players looking for an action-RPG loot grind offering plenty of gameplay hours, enemies to kill, and numerous ways to kill them, you'll find it in Ascaron's Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. You'll also find an inconvenient interface, mediocre visuals, and a few technical drawbacks that keep this from really being a standout experience. The story and the game's eccentric, seemingly random sense of humor could provide satisfaction for some, but ultimately it lacks the character and strength required to keep any solo-type of player engaged. The true draw here is the combat and class customization, so if you've got a few friends around, it could serve as a solid distraction for a while with its options for online play while you wait for something better to come along.

The Last Resort is a fun game and worth the price of admission for gamers who are Wallace and Gromit fans. The visual style of the show and the overall humor are the high points here, but we were disappointed that the action never really moved beyond a few rooms in Wallace's house and seemed to bounce back and forth among a cast of characters who are nowhere near as compelling as the inventor and his dog. We're just confused as to why Wallace and Gromit have so little to do with each other in their own game.

We've seen Ocean Commander way too many times. It's not like the developers add new levels, or change the difficulty, or add anything that would make somebody consider purchasing the game. It's just the same, way too short, way too easy shooter with a gimmick that wasn't as revolutionary as it claims to be, even back in 2006. Stop releasing this game, it's never going to be fun.

Infinite Interactive took what worked in Puzzle Quest and expanded it into an even bigger, longer game. That means if you are a fan of PQ, Galactrix will hook you all over again. The zero gravity puzzle game is slightly more complex, and there is an entire galaxy of quests, mini-games, and characters to get lost in. Plus, the music is fantastic. The developers really hit on something with the Puzzle Quest formula, and I'll be on board as long as they can keep it engrossing.

Velvet Assassin could have been an interesting take on World War II by highlighting a facet of the conflict that's rarely covered by gaming. While it does bring in the secret agent angle, it also brings in a story that's completely thin and unsupported. Even worse, Assassin features flawed stealth action elements that can ruin the gameplay when they go awry, and only point out the hit or miss nature of the mechanics when they work well. If you need a stealth action experience, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.

I guess that kind of describes my expectations as a whole with X-Men Origins: Wolverine: I expected oomph, I got something rather tame and repetitive. It's possible some will be able to stomach dying over and over again to get to the end, but the comic book covers and hidden moves weren't enough to take me back through things -- even if they did allow access to earlier areas later on down the line. Nope, this just felt like a quick buck cash-in, and I know Griptonite is better than that.
