Even though it's not the most challenging time you can have, it's a ton of fun that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

In this day and age, it's rare to see a classic collection with unbelievable quality, so I'll take what I can get. Battle Collection is a must-purchase for its wide variety and great features.

The kinetic energy that the series is known for is perfectly intact, and the game looks and plays just as wonderfully as it ever has. The fact that it has classic goodies and exclusive cars significantly boosts its value.

Aside from some suspicious analog problems, the game suffers from a horrific plague that hurt previous EA Sports releases: LOADING.

One of this year's more bizarre portable titles, not to mention one of the best.

All of these components have been combined to produce a game that exudes fun.

If only some of the graphic quirks and loading times had been addressed, we would have had the kind of racing game that could've sat alongside Ridge Racer rather proudly. As is, it's still recommended for its fast gameplay and stacked features, as well as its multiplayer attachments.

I'm actually conflicted with this game, because the more and more the controls piss me off the less I want to play.

A well polished and kick ass surgery game that makes excellent use of the Nintendo DS' touch screen. But what I wasn't prepared for was its engaging story, and that added bonus puts this game over the top.

A wonderful surprise, a shooter that really engulfs you in its features and its presentation, and it shouldn't be missed.

The actual game design is amazing. These puppies look, sound, and act like the real thing.

It's just as much a kick-ass military shooter as its console brethren.

It's just a well developed and deep adventure game that does its genre as well as the legendary series justice.

It's just a marvelous and beautifully constructed adventure game.

It's not without its faults, but those faults are overshadowed by the quality. No matter what your heart desires (dishing and swishing, hacking and whacking, or posting and toasting) this game has it all.

Leaps and bounds better than the previous edition, and a worthwhile recommendation to anyone who loves golf.

SSX On Tour could've looked a little better, and probably would have benefited from some slight gameplay tweaks, but it's very playable and thoroughly enjoyable.

While the console ports are more recommended for their details and expansion, the PSP version is certainly no slouch.

It has a few nagging issues that keep the welcome mat from being all wide open on the front doorstep, namely the lack of the block option or the ability to see the worlds around you. However, it is a rewarding adventure with an enriched battle system, mixed with upgradeable chi and adhoc/infrastructure support.

The game's change in tempo may turn off some players, but don't be fooled. This is still the genuine Viewtiful Joe article, especially in the face of the somewhat limp GameCube Red Hot Rumble release.

Loaded with goodies and irresistible to resist, Mario Kart DS is fun in its purest form.

It's just so well polished and lightning quick that it just begs to be played by anyone who loves Sonic, Sega, excellent platform games, or just pretty colors.

With music lifted straight from the Metroid Prime games, Pinball is an absolute joy to listen to.

It's just as delightfully weird and soothing as it's ever been, and the numerous options will keep you hammering away on your virtual heart throughout the night. Dig right in and rub those rabbits!

It never feels limited, or that you've "done everything"; the game is designed in a such a dynamic and charming manner that while playing you're not only investing your efforts, but also being rewarded for coming back.
