Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection was made for pinball wizards: it's a fantastic fan service of the game's recent past that puts excellent attention to the detail of the genre. It's always better to play the real machine than virtual representations of them, but this collection is a great alternative at a solid value. And these pinball machines will never wear out on you.

Chicken Hunter isn't a game. It's five game demos that Mumbo Jumbo is trying to get suckers to pay for. Playing through every single game takes approximately 15 minutes (at most) and then there is nothing to do. No multiplayer. No hard mode. Nothing. There's just so little content here, which makes the overall lack of quality even more insulting. If the developers were going to make a game with barely any content, they could have at least made it good content.

Let me break it down for you: this game sucks. It's not that I'm too harsh on "casual games," it's that nobody in the world is going to have any fun playing this. Regardless of the demographic you're trying to reach, if you're making a racing game the cars should be fun to control and it should somewhat approximate the exhilaration of driving really fast. The only thing Classic British Motor Racing approximates is playing a bad game.

This is the epitomy of a movie tie-in hack job. Low production values, monotonous gameplay, and lackluster visuals make this a story you can jump past. It's a shame, because the concept opens up a million gameplay opportunities. How can the ability to teleport be boring? With this and Alvin & the Chipmunks under its belt, publisher Brash is really not off to a good start.

What's the point of selling a substandard bowling game on a system that gives one away for free? This game is an absolute dud: it plays poorly, it lacks all sorts of important features, and it doesn't come anywhere near the same quality as what Nintendo already includes as standard issue with every single system in North America. An absolute waste of everyone's time and money...gamers and developers alike.

Bratz: Super Babyz is a limited game with a confusing concept and shallow gameplay. Its premise of transforming the Bratz girl character into babies and then giving them all superpowers is just plain odd, and made worse by the fact that the basic walk-about gameplay doesn't seem to support anything "super" at all. The game has a few redeeming qualities, as the technical execution of the 3D exploration sequences holds merit and the random inclusion of a Legend of Zelda-inspired dungeon sequence are noteworthy and positive. But as a whole, only the youngest gamers or those girls who are die-hard fans of the Bratz: Super Babyz DVD need to pay attention to this one.

If Bliss Island were a website of free flash games, it would be worthwhile as a distraction. Paying for it is not a good idea.

Overall MLB 2K8 is a good entry in the PSP library of baseball titles. If faced with the option of buying this or MLB 08: The Show, do yourself a favor and choose The Show. Not to say that 2K8 doesn’t have redeeming qualities, but there’s no question that the best baseball experience on Sony’s portable system resides in the first-party edition. If MLB 2K8 wants to keep up with the competition it’ll need to bring more to the table next year than improved gameplay and a new view for pitching.

If you have a puny, atrophied brain, spending some time with Brain Challenge will make you feel better about it. The graphics aren't much to look at but the menus are sharp and easy to navigate, and the controls are intuitive. There are some issues with the tutorials and multiplayer, but the basics of a decent educational puzzler are here.

Ninja Reflex is a decent concept, but it’s just so insultingly small as a packaged Wii game. There are six events, a couple mode changes within the games, multiplayer for each, and that’s basically it. Instead of offering a more robust experience, however (even Carnival Games, also $40, has 25 minis) this feels more like a WiiWare game, and less like something that should be sold at nearly full price. Everything from the simple, charming interface to the basic – almost gimmick – nature of the games absolutely screams downloadable content, as there’s no reason to pick this up for anything more than $20 max. If Electronic Arts was smart, the company would start talking to Nintendo now about the option of putting this on WiiWare for launch, or at least start working on a sequel to deliver in downloadable format. That, or offer us a package that’s worth the cash. Ninja Reflex is a good idea, it’s fun, but there’s less depth here than in Raving Rabbids, Carnival Games, or even Wii Play. The line needs to be drawn somewhere on Wii, and hopefully consumers will do just that with Ninja Reflex.

The PS2 port of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters is passable but I can't strongly recommend it to anyone. Even though the gameplay in its purest form is enjoyable, there are too many problems bundled on top that will dilute your enjoyment. Ratchet fans will be much better off playing a different iteration of the series. Even though there is a significant price difference, PS3 owners looking to try out the Ratchet experience should absolutely play Tools of Destruction instead -- I was immensely pleased with it. Otherwise, Size Matters should only be played by devoted, hardcore enthusiasts who couldn't play the original version on the PSP.

It seems like Hudson's little boy in blue just can't seem to star in an all-around accessible adventure – Milon's Secret Castle on the NES was confusing because of its abstract gameplay, and now Milon's DokiDoki Adventure from the Super Famicom is confusing because of its completely untranslated Japanese text. But don't let yourself be totally turned off by the fact, as DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure is still a solid, satisfying and simply fun 16-bit platformer even if it's not in English. The gameplay's always the most important aspect of a game, and this release won't burst your bubble there.

The fact of the matter is that BlackSite: Area 51 is just like every other run-of-the-mill FPS out there. You can find better multiplayer in Resistance, you can find a better storyline in The Orange Box, and you can find a livelier environment in just about anything. The game underperforms in every aspect, and although that doesn't make it bad, it certainly makes it a major disappointment for everyone who was anxiously awaiting this game's debut.
