This is such a simple yet brilliant puzzle game that anyone can pick up and enjoy. Needless to say, it's a great game for kids as well as adults. Granted, it's not the most challenging puzzle game ever made, but there's a rare charm and a joy to it. You may think you're too old for crayons, but give this game a chance and within no time you'll be transported to your youth, grinning once more at the possibilities in front of you.

Interpol is good for a few short bursts of seek-and-find fun, but it’s just not a game that’s very well suited to the console. Add that to the poor image resolution, inconsistent puzzles and overall shaky production value, and you have a game that’s probably not worth the download.

The oddities of Gooey aside, though, Kirby's Dream Land 3 really is a quaint and capable little Kirby adventure that is pretty enjoyable to play -- and especially so if you're one of the great many players who missed out on it in 1997, because you were already too busy spending your gaming cash on titles that ended their names with "64." Give it a glance if you're a fan of Nintendo's short pink hero.

Saints Row 2 isn't a GTA killer, but it's a GTA alternative. It's tough not to hate on the slightly lacking production values, but when you see the rest of the game it actually makes a bit more sense. The technical shortcomings are the only truly bad part of Saints Row 2, and, sadly for PC gamers, it pretty much kills their experience unless they can play with the bulk of the visual settings turned down or off. Not doing so ruins your gameplay experience. There's enough crazy-insane tomfoolery to keep a machete in the hands of even the most straight-laced citizens, you'll just need a super-computer to even think about running it.

While SPRay is at best a mediocre action adventure, I'd say younger gamers will probably get some enjoyment out of it. The art style and story are definitely aimed at kids, and the little ones are less bothered by repetitive gameplay. A co-op mode where one player controls Ray and one controls the spray is the kind of gimmick only kids could get into. It's too bad that a game like this with an intriguing concept couldn't have been more engaging for all players, though. Like the puddles the game requires us to create, most people will want to step around SPRay.

When you stack up Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp to award-winning games, it doesn't do so well. This game, however, isn't aiming to revolutionize gaming. It simply tries to deliver an entertaining gameplay experience for little girls, and for the most part, it succeeds. While the game isn't fantastic, there are worse gifts to give your daughter. Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp teaches kids about the fundamentals of taking care of horses and even shares a few lessons about helping your fellow neighbor. At 39.99 bucks, the price is definitely steeper than it should be, but if your little girl loves videogames and horses, you can go ahead and let her saddle up.

In the end, Avatar: The Last Airbender - Into the Inferno is a game destined to be forgotten. The basic game mechanics are solid, and it has some good concepts, but they are overused to the point of becoming tedious and boring almost immediately. Young fans of the show would likely stay occupied for a level or two, but it's doubtful that even the most avid Avatar fan would enjoy the game all the way through to the end. It's a game that doesn't quite seem to know who it's aiming for. The series can sometimes fall awkwardly between age groups, and that's exactly what happened here.

Even though I found the experience forgettable, there's nothing really wrong with Into the Inferno. It's super-simple in terms of gameplay, puzzles, and graphics, but it's a kid's game specifically aimed at fans of the show. Sure, I don't really know what the hell is going on storywise in this title because Into the Inferno doesn't explain anything, but a fan of the show won't need to see a well done cutscene to understand why Aang and Toph are attacking such and such place. In the end, this is a barebones game aimed at the youngest fans among us. It shouldn't cost $30.

Even though I found the Bending controls worthless for fighting, there's nothing really wrong with Into the Inferno. It's super-simple in terms of gameplay, puzzles, and graphics, but it's a kid's game specifically aimed at fans of the show. Sure, I don't really know what the hell is going on storywise in this title because Into the Inferno doesn't explain anything, but a fan of the show won't need to see a well done cutscene to understand why Aang and Toph are attacking such and such place. In the end, this is the typical fare for a barebones, $20 game aimed at the youngest fans among us.

Chrysler Classic Racing follows trends set by countless racing games before it. Racing games can be fun, even if they don't offer anything new, but they have to at least have some racing fundamentals that work. This is where Chrysler Racing fails. It's a weak driving experience coated with shoddy artwork. In the end this game (like a lot of these "vintage" Chryslers) should be forgotten to the annals of history.

Real Soccer 2009 does a lot of things right. There are a bevy of modes to play and cups to pursue. The traditional controls are solid and responsive. The AI is smart and will dominate you in a heartbeat if you don't bring your A-game. The touch controls are interesting, but not essential to the experience. In a nutshell, Real Soccer 2009 is a solid portable soccer title. If future titles would offer a bit more graphical polish, a fleshed out soundtrack, and in-game commentary, Real Soccer could put a real hurt on FIFA and Winning Eleven's elite status.

Igor the Game DS really swung for the fences, but it struck out nonetheless. The puzzle fighting is sloppy and extremely slow paced. Grinding is essential to progress, so expect a lot of long and boring battles. The story sequences are just long enough to irk you, and the interesting upgrade system is simply overpowered by the terrible gameplay. At the end of the day, Igor the Game (like a real corpse) should be left in whatever ditch you found it in.

For a budget game, Defense Grid easily delivers plenty of gripping gameplay; it's easy to lose track of time while playing it. In fact, there were quite a number of times where I defeated a wave of aliens only to realize that I had made it through the entire level. I actually wanted another wave or two in order to test the effectiveness of the mouse trap I had designed. It's always a good sign when a game leaves you wanting for more.

EndWar PSP is a perfectly suitable turn-based strategy game, but there are too many better titles of this sort available on Sony's handheld. Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea both have better visuals and more unique gameplay. If you're a strategy fiend and jonesing for a fix you could certainly do worse, but EndWar PSP will likely soon be forgotten.

There is a good detective story buried somewhere here, but it's hindered by archaic gameplay, and terrible pacing. If you're a huge fan of Agatha Christie's work, or if you're the type of gamer that misses the old days of random item collecting and nonsensical puzzle solving, this might be a game worth checking out, but anyone else is going to want to pass this one by.
