Shrek the Third

Shrek the Third is a lazy game that coasts by on the strength of the brand.

Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

There are certainly some bona fide '80s showstoppers on this expansion, but all told, this is Guitar Hero II with a coat of neon paint and half as much content.

World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions

World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions

The things Tournament of Champions does well aren't quite enough to make it stand out from the many, many other poker games available.

Guitar Hero II

Guitar Hero II

An expanded song list, great multiplayer and the introduction of a much needed practice mode all add up to make Guitar Hero II a worthy sequel. While the songs themselves may not be as fun to play as the first, Guitar Hero II is still a must have title for this holiday season.

Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd

Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd

Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd is a fine reflection of the sport of paintball, and with a few clever features thrown in, should provide plenty of fun for newcomers and series veterans alike.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

While the gameplay in THAW is still sharp, this installment just seems to lack that special spark that made the series so much fun in the first place.

Quake 4

Quake 4

Quake 4 is fun, frantic and a definite step-up from the dour Doom 3. Its multiplayer component may not break any new ground, but as a single player experience Quake 4 is a winner.

Fantastic Four

Listen up true believers -- Fantastic Four, the game based on the movie based on the comics, is here fresh from a cosmic storm bombardment. Is it worthy of a Stan Lee exclamation of Excelsior?
