There are up to 40 different skins to collect in Gunpey, but the game itself simply isn't strong or fun enough to merit collecting more than six, if even that many. It would be fantastic if Gunpey could stand next to either of the Lumines games or Meteos and keep the puzzle genre going strong, but it isn't up to the task. It's not even close.

NBA 07 could've remained a simple port of the current gen version, but instead, it chose to improve on a number of game features. Game AI is stronger, the shooting mechanic is tighter, and the NBA Replay feature is one of the best modes included in a sports game in some time. Unfortunately, the game is held back from greatness with some SIXAXIS control issues, bugs and a lack of unlockable content and modes. Sony's first party basketball title made a huge leap forward in making the jump to the PS3, which bodes well for future games in the series.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is a great Wii launch title and I highly recommend picking it up if you at all liked the previous games (discounting Adventure, which was an unfortunate departure). This is also an ideal choice for casuals looking to play Wii with friends or family. The title's easy-to-learn controls make it immediately accessible to newcomers or the uncoordinated among us. However, like with all solid Monkey Ball games, the puzzle arenas grow increasingly more difficult and later stages are downright insane – hence, although everybody can enjoy the experience on some level, only the skilled and dedicated will beat the title. If you've been on the fence about the Wii controls, put those fears to rest. True, there is a different technique involved, but once you get the hang of it you will be flying through levels with precision and speed. Now that I've played through Banana Blitz, I would not want to go back to the older control configurations. The single-player affair is engaging and rewarding, but although 100 levels seem like a lot, some of the previous outings actually included more. Given that some of Banana Blitz's 50 mini-games are throwaways, I'd have preferred that the developer spent more time making the single-player mode bigger and better and less time upping the mini-game count. All of that noted, there are still quite a few minis that are worth playing, such as Monkey Target, and they are also four-player-compatible.

Cricket 07 is a fun enough game for hardcore cricket fans, but it¿s still not the addictive, compelling, exciting game that it has the potential to be. The new Century Stick batting system is a huge improvement, so you and a couple of cricket loving buddies will have some real fun smashing the ball about in the limited overs games, but the bowling side to Cricket 07 is still too weak to make test matches worth ploughing through. If you¿ve hated these games for the last few years ¿ and you certainly wouldn¿t be alone in that opinion ¿ then it¿s worth coming back to take another look now that some effort has gone back into the game¿s development. There¿s still a lot of work to do to make this a truly engaging sports simulation, but at least you can still enjoy smashing the Poms out of the park with Adam Gilchrist and the Century Stick. Take that you Ashes stealing charlatans!

Not enough was done to the Phantasy Star Online formula for this newest title in the series to feel fresh. Simply adding new weapons and techniques, changing the environments and adding a few extras such as the bedroom isn't enough when the online RPG has become a fully blown phenomenon. Online RPGs have groomed us to expect to get a vibrant, ever changing world that is full of things to explore and quests to complete. Instead Phantasy Star Universe offers a few hub cities, cookie cutter environments and pointless missions. Even with the addictive qualities, the lack of variety in gameplay makes this one grow old quickly. All of the problems are exasperated on the PC when you look at the flood of other great online RPG¿s available on the platform. Simply put, the PC is an online RPG player¿s dream. The lesser cousins on the consoles fall short when they get brought over without any improvements.

Cabela's African Safari is a streamlined version of past titles that is far more accessible to the average player. While this may irk long-time fans, the lack of bird calls and any significant hunting -- other than shooting -- is enough to keep you interested for a few hours. Unfortunately, the game is still about running around somewhat aimlessly, looking for animals, and shooting them. While the campy nature of African Safari is good for a few laughs, they are at the game's own expense. Hunting fans will have to wait yet again for the next -- and first -- great hunting game.

Picture a Game Boy Advance game that fails in almost every way, and you're still probably picturing a better game than this one. From clunky start to sudden finish, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is an ugly, unfun experience that should be an embarrassment to everyone involved in its development. Don't confuse this game with the generally enjoyable console version. Instead, pick up one of the many better Marvel GBA brawlers available.

Though on the whole it's a solid title, it does have limitations. First, even though the Career mode does offer a degree of customization and character development, it still manages to get old after a while. This is simply because each map feels similar to the one before and you'll find you’re just repeating a succession of arena battles. The graphics and sound can be bland at times but never really detract from the core gameplay. You'll definitely want to play online, but it's a real pain with a PS2. Stick to the Xbox version of you're really committed to playing this one.

Happy Feet as a videogame very much mimics the movie in that it falls well short of expectations. While the title does feature the same story and characters as its silver screen counterpart, it lacks the charm. The basic gameplay mechanics are incredibly simple and they repeat so often that the action is doomed for monotony. The end result is an experience that teeters on the mediocre. Yes, your four-year-old might find something to like here, but there are far better kids' games on the market. Unless you or your child is a Happy Feet fanatic, and I can't imagine that someone like this even exists, keep moving because there's very little to see here.

Overall, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is a pretty fun game. It's not perfect by any means and has some bugs that can be annoying, but the battles themselves offer a good variety of strategies set in a dark and brooding environment. There are some presentation issues that help the game not feel as Warhammer-ish as it could, but there's still a lot to like here with the variety of units and good use of heroes. While short of an Editor's Choice, I'd definitely recommend checking out the demos on Fileplanet if you've been interested in Warhammer: Mark of Chaos and are still on the fence. It definitely got a lot to offer.

Tony Hawk's Project 8 is a sad finale to the current-gen versions of the series. This is clearly just an attempt to cash in one last time on the franchise. The level design is mediocre and the stripping of features is unacceptable. Nail the Trick is not particularly exciting on current-gen consoles and has been made too simplistic. Worst of all is the changes to manuals, which is completely unwarranted. If this is representative of the future of Tony Hawk, the series is in serious trouble.
