Crash of the Titans is a good idea wrapped in a mediocre game. This is a shame too, because that good idea involves smashing small things with large monsters. Nonetheless, kids and die-hard Crash fans will still dig the game, and the co-op is perfect for two squabbling siblings who fight over the controller. It doesn't have the lasting power to make a spot in your collection, but it will make for a good rental. Let's hope that the monster-jacking idea is used better in a sequel someday.

Dewy's Adventure has all the conceptual makings of a great platformer, but in the end the developer's ambition has fallen short of that goal due in large to the title's control scheme, which never feels tight and responsive and always feels slow and occasionally even unpredictable. Were the game's controls as simple as its premise, we'd have a perfect match, but as it stands this is an endeavor whose presentation is too cute and cuddly for most older players and whose gameplay mechanics will deter younger ones. This is not to say that Dewy is a complete mess, because that simply isn't true at all, either. Indeed, if you're an able gamer who can somehow resist the temptation to cringe at the effort's rudimentary storyline and heavy-handed dialog, or embrace its rainbow-colored tone, you will find clever level designs and puzzles in place, not to mention some truly flashy, stylized graphics. We certainly admire the developer's intentions here – we just wish the whole package meshed better.

I can definitely appreciate the team's attempt in bringing the true Spyro 3D experience to the Nintendo DS - it's honestly about time. But the game still feels like a step backwards: clumsy storytelling, awkward gameplay, wonky camera, and awful boss battles. The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night is still far better than the first Spyro outing that appeared on the Nintendo DS, but it fails to keep the momentum going after last year's decent title…even if it's trying to do far more than A New Beginning ever did.

Mask of the Betrayer is a fine expansion pack from Obsidian. It's a more stable experience, seems to run slightly better, and more importantly delivers a narrative that, for the most part, proceeds along without getting tangled by the catches of cliche. Its characters and their interactions are sure to strike many satisfying chords within the hearts of the Dungeons & Dragons fans, though those uninitiated in the ways of these types of games should steer their attention toward the original before tackling this high-level affair.

Though it is a bit odd to start off the series on the VC with Shinobi III, it's probably better for gamers that this installment in SEGA's old-school ninja franchise came first. It's arguably the best in its series, after all, and the smooth feeling of its gameplay only came about as a result of improving upon the stiffer controls of its predecessors. There are now several different ninja action games to choose from in the Wii Shop, as Shinobi III takes its place alongside titles like Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Spirit – and, luckily, you can't really go wrong with any of them. It's 800 Wii Points for this one, and you know you want to see a ninja ride a horse and go surfing.

Not a lot has changed over the last year for Rockstar Presents Table Tennis. Wii owners are getting the same game, the same characters, the same locales, the same unlockables, and the same options as the 360 version before it - they’re even getting the game at the same budget price. What you won’t get, however, are the dazzling graphics or online play, and for some that’ll be enough to stay away from this one altogether. For traditional, hardcore purists, however, they’ll look beyond the somewhat basic gameplay of Table Tennis and focus on the truth of the matter: Rockstar Presents Table Tennis is the real deal, tons of fun to play, and wonderfully simplistic. The game could have used an overhaul, and if Rosktar decides to keep the series alive it could use more options and far more content – a career mode and mini-games are nowhere to be seen – but as it stands it’s still just as strong of a game now as it was a year ago. It’s a port, its simple in design, but we won’t deny its fun factor. By yourself the game may be a bit too shallow, but all it’ll take is a friend and a Wii-mote and you’ll have a solid, fast-paced budget title to fill a few Saturday afternoons.

Rock 'n Roll Adventures is completely out of tune. The game is a total relic from an era that has been long put to bed and then made even worse by poorly implementing the Wii's controls. Moving Elviz around is a chore, even when the controls are responsive and the camera keeps its end of the bargain. When so many good games for the Wii flank it on the shelves, there is just no need to even give this game a second look. Avoid it and apply your gaming dollars to a far worthier game. You deserve simply better.

So the verdict on this sequel really ends up in about the same place as its predecessor. The final comment in the review of Neutopia 1 was that there was no Second Quest in that game, no remixed version of the adventure to play through after seeing the credits roll by. But maybe there was, after all, and it was just contained in a different game – Neutopia II feels like a remixed Second Quest of the original, with a few adjustments and enhancements thrown in to make controlling things feel easier. So it's just as worthy of your 600 Wii Points as before, and it's worth a download for players who experienced Neutopia 1 and wouldn't mind more of the same. I guess it's just a case of a son taking after his father.

The streamlined interface may draw in a few new punters, but this is still Football Manager as nature intended, and a brutally unforgiving intrusion on your time. A benchmark title for the PC, this is a game that you don’t so much play as have a relationship with. And not necessarily a healthy one…

Animal Genius is a kid game. A really little kid game. It's not going to be fun for anyone in the double digit age range because it's too basic. However, for a young child, especially one that has an interest in animals, it's actually a decent title. The educational aspects being presented as bonuses are a great idea. If there were a few more minigames it would really make this title shine. If you've got a kid and you're trying to get them to play some edutainment, this is probably one of the better choices. Your kid still be mad you bought them an educational game though.

Madden NFL 08 on PS3 is not a great game. It is a shadow of its cousin on 360. Though the feature set is identical, the drop to an unstable 30fps hurts considerably. The visuals and the gameplay suffer. If you are a real Madden nut and think you can fight through the framerate issues, Madden is an overall good game. It just doesn't run very well. If you only own a PS3 and live for Sundays, then there really is no other choice than to give Madden 08 a shot.
