WarTech: Senko no Ronde feels incoherent and out of place. The arcade shooter concept that it is built upon is sound but the follow-through just isn't there. There is little to be interested in here outside of the multiplayer mode, Even then, the unsatisfying controls limit what strives to be a unique experience. This attempt at modernizing an old school design perhaps would have been more at home with 2D graphics and an Xbox Live Arcade release.

Overall the puzzle game has some merit but it lacks in addictiveness because the design itself is a little too limiting for players to zone out in the same way that other games capture that mindset. If you can deal with the random elements of the Gunpey design you might find yourself lost for a few hours. But it can't hold a candle to the true puzzle classics on the Nintendo DS, like Tetris and Meteos.

Streets of Rage 2 has been one of the most wanted titles for the VC's Genesis line-up since the launch of the Wii. It's obvious why – the game is a blast. Played co-operatively or just by yourself, SoR2 is a great beat-'em-up experience and one of the best Genesis titles ever made. It's a highly recommended download, and takes its place near the top of the Sega Virtual Console crop – only the excessively explosive Gunstar Heroes outranks it at the moment.

For only five bucks, Rampage: World Tour isn't the worst experience you'll find on the PlayStation Network, but it certainly isn't the best one either. With zero skill required to play and no save function available for those who want to see it all, "repetition" is a word that you'll become intimately familiar with before long.

Blazing Lazers may not have the power to dethrone Gradius III or R-Type III, but it still holds its own and is the best shooter ever for the TurboGrafx-16. Give it a look -- just be prepared to be confused at first at its perplexing path to powering up.

Nintendo's one-shot, no-sequel releases from yesteryear might not be as well known as those games that are part of long-running franchise series, but many of them are home to some of the company's most interesting and unique ideas. Playing as a lone rider on a gun-equipped motorcycle in a post-apocalyptic future is a great scenario and one you might not expect from Nintendo -- so it's refreshing from a creative standpoint, even at the same time as it's not all that spectacular in its visuals or sound design.

So Touch the Dead lacks any sort of originality, but it definitely has a place in the Nintendo DS line-up. It's a straight-forward, fun, intense action game that does a decent job of what it sets out to do...even if that's just to steal the House of the Dead idea before Sega decides to port it officially itself.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End has the atmosphere and look of a great pirate game, but that's about it. While the sound and characters help capture the essence of the Disney trilogy, the shallow gameplay is too much to endure for the seven or so hours it takes to complete the game. Let's put it this way: if came down to playing this game for seven hours or walking the plank, it would be a tough choice. Save your hard-earned cash for a barrel of rum and consider a rental.

With its shoddy Sixaxis support, Sony Online's version of Rampart doesn't do much for the game's memory. Even with online versus play, Leaderboards, and support for resolutions all the way up to 1080p, the overall lack of control seals this classic's fate.

Soltrio Solitaire might be worth $5, but it's definitely not worth the $10 currently being charged. It's unjustified. There's no licensing fee to pay for using solitaire games; no expensive game engine that costs millions to build; and no marketing costs. Soltrio Solitaire is a rip off. It's that simple. It's overpriced and it under-delivers. The single-player games are nicely presented and the online multiplayer is decent, but it's just not enough to validate the high price point. Avoid this one at all costs.

Steel Horizon has come to the Nintendo DS from Konami, a trusted, long-time publisher on Nintendo systems known for the quality of its catalog. But the house that brought us Castlevania and Lunar Knights lost its way this time. Steel Horizon's set-up had the potential to offer solid, straightforward naval strategy, like playing chess with an aircraft carrier instead of a rook and bishop. But the battles are just a mess, marring any aspirations of the game's simple, but workable turn-based half of play. We'd expect more from Konami, and you'd expect much more if you played this game. So don't waste your time – life in the Navy is just too boring.
