Diddy Kong Racing: Close, But by soupjhhs Pros: Does the cartoon look proud, fun to play with friends
Cons: Music can drive you crazy, bland courses, short and repetitive Riding the kart racing trend on the Nintendo 64, Diddy Kong Racing attempts to one-up its Mario competitor with tighter controls (for everything but the hovercraft stages), more courses and an adventure mode, but is ultimately held back by useless coin ...

Does Microsoft Have It's Own Singstar? by Shaunpm60 Pros: Videos do look good, as close as to Singstar as you'll find on the 360.
Cons: Lacking community elements, lacking interface, fewer download-bale songs than Singstar. As somewhat of a guilty pleasure, I do enjoy karaoke games, even though I really can't sing worth crap. Though regardless whether or not you can sing, it's still fun to sing along with music, and earn achievements while you're at it. Before Lips, the ...

Very Chatty by xadrian Pros: Good animation. Combination moves aren't very complex. Good for young gamers.
Cons: Overly chatty. Limited scale. Novelty feel, low replay. I'll get right to it: Star Wars Clone Wars Lightsaber Duel for Wii is a novelty game. It's not going to give you any in depth character driven stories. It's not going to let you in on any Star Wars universe secrets. And as a fighting ...

Excellent Gunplay, Underwhelming Story by Andyman Pros: Guns and weaponry are really interesting and gun combat is very well-tuned. Fun to play.
Cons: Story lame. Some clunkiness. Overall too easy, and a bit shallow. Borderlands is a shooter game with an "open world" setting where you can explore in the direction of your choice rather than always being pulled along a linear story.The shooting aspects of the game are superb. There's a hug variety of guns ...

3 (acutually 5) Games in One! by nad_masters Pros: 3 games for 1 price, Portal is fun, EP2 finally out, TF2 also FINALLY out
Cons: TF2 not for newbies. A Great Value Rarely do a game ever been called "a great value", but with Valve's "The Orange Box", that's what it is. It comes with 5 (count them - FIVE) full games in one box that cost as much as a single game! What do you get for $50 MSRP? ...

Is the Stylus Mighty Enough for Dragon Sword? by tgahr3 Pros: Stylus controls work well, fast-paced action, great graphics
Cons: Gameplay lacks variety and can get repetitive, disappointing story, forgettable music Considering the series' history of fast-paced, high-difficulty gameplay, it's understandable why some gamers would be alarmed by the announcement that the upcoming DS Ninja Gaiden would be controlled entirely by the stylus. With its ...

Wild West Pinball: Draw, Varmint! by kjell1979 Pros: authentic look and sound effects, nice when free
Cons: unforgivingly hard, simplistic gameplay and objectives, zooming effect, repetitive music Video game pinball was one of my staples when I used to play PC shareware games back in the mid-80's up through the mid-90's.

Neversoft Clever in Making Extra Cash by imtoogood Pros: More songs?
Cons: Song selection, difficulty, length, not fun After Neversoft developed Guitar Hero III, they decided that it would be easy to "earn" more money by making $1 games and sell for $60. Plus, an additional $40 if you wanted the "special edition Aerosmith guitar". However, this game in my opinion was ...

Pac-Man Championship Edition: A Demo Disguised as a Game by kjell1979 Pros: Solid gameplay, decent challenges, retro sound and feel, tons of control options
Cons: unstable, speed up mechanic, expansion packs, questionable value I've always liked Pac-Man. While I've played many clones going way back to the PC Shareware games of the late 80's and early 90's, nothing quite captured my imagination like the arcade original in terms of looks and style. To a lesser extent Ms. Pac-Man ...

Cubes, Cubes Everywhere! by captaind Pros: Good gameplay and variety of challenge, solid game concept that's been implemented very well...
Cons: Visuals can get a little confusing on later levels...

The game involves you getting all the coloured blocks to their respective exits of ...
