Great game. Usually racing games have to have some kind of gimmick because racing games have been done to death. This game is a straight forward racing game that should be dated but somehow it isn't. I didn't have that much nostalgia for this game so I approached it on its own merits and it still works. The package is surprising well done and it isn't just slapped together like Crazy Taxi was. Only negative I can think of is that there is only 3 tracks for $10.… Expand

Pro Evolution Soccer 2012

Love this game. It isn't as complicated as FIFA and though it takes a little while to get up to speed (especially with shooting) but it is more casual and much more fun for me. The game can get advanced like using the right stick to control another player but it is isn't necessary. I am not the biggest soccer fan as I only pay attention to World Cup so the fact that not everything is licensed doesn't bother me. There are lots of modes I haven't even tried yet. Totally addicted.… Expand

This game is fun and it would be a great teaching tool, however, as a more experienced guitarist I find it frustratingly boring to get to a point where it just displays how to play the whole song instead of a simplified version. There doesn't seem to be an option to just play the song as it originally was recorded. I think it might not be able to pick up too many notes at a fast pace and it is never going to be the entire song. It often harder to play a simplified version of songs I already know how to play. Good thing it is very generous on the timing of notes. You have a +/- of a whole second to hit the appropriate note to register it. I can see that being good for beginners but I think a lot of people will learn these songs really incorrectly. For mini-games they actually turn off the generous timing so it become frustrating with the delay of your setup. I appreciate the generous timing when I have to go through songs I hate or have never heard before. You can just fumble through it the first time and never have to play it again. Seems to be a lot of modern hipster songs for the kids. I think most people, even kids, want to play the classic riffs instead of these artists that nobody will remember in 3 years. Overall I wish this was available to me when I was 12 and could learn guitar at a faster rate. As an experienced guitarist, it bores me too much to want to setup everything for me to play.… Expand

Jerry Rice & Nitus' Dog Football

Average User Score: tbd

User Score 6

This game is fun but a little too simple and poorly made. The controls take a bit to get use to where you actually use motion control to move your QA and then pointer controls to move your receivers which is weird to use two different methods for movement. Playing the AI is pretty easy because you can sit back in the pocket for hours until a receiver is open and then bomb it. Overall it is a little to easy to beat if you don't have someone to play. The environments make things interesting of using it to get extra yardage. This game is very unpolished and everything says "cheap" game. It's a good idea that could have used a bit more polish and better AI. Your probably better with Madden on Wii which is simplified for the Wii audience and is better.… Expand

Ikari Warriors

Average User Score: tbd

User Score 7

Ikari Warriors is still fun but it is hampered by a lack of a right stick on the PSP. The control scheme they provide works OK but it still isn't as fun as the original arcade unit. I had fun with it but it might be due to my nostalgia for this game I played as a kid.… Expand

This is like a lost Qix sequel arcade game. It is an arcade game in that you play one game mode to try to get the highest score. It is worth the money because the one game mode is a lot of fun. Great on PSP for a quick game or two when you have 5 minutes.… Expand

Horrible game. Like some PC shareware from 1992. No, that would be incorrect because a shareware game from 1992 would let you save the game. Really not worth play thing same levels over and over to get farther.… Expand

Hot Shots Shorties

These games are dumb. They are overpriced WarioWare games. Doesn't deserve the Hot Shots name attached to these things. If you feel you need to buy one, buy the yellow one because Home Run Derby is mildly entertaining.… Expand

Jett Rocket

Average User Score: 8.5

User Score 7

The basic mechanics of gameplay is a lot of fun. Too bad the style of the game is so generic. It almost looks like one of those fake videogames they show in movies. Using the jet pack to go around is fun. I found the length to be just right. I rather finish a game before I get bored of it and it kept me interested enough to finish it. It's tough being on a system with Mario Galaxy and other great platformers. Having said that, Jett Rocket is probably a better platformer than anything on 360.… Expand
