Mario Striker Charged (Wii) Review

Aka "Mario Strikers Charged Football" and the follow-up to "Super Mario Strikers". Participate in online matches and tournaments in both friendly and ranked games, in this offering from developers Next Level Games. Upon its European release, it became the first Wii online game to be available outside of Japan.
As welcome as it's predecessor with a score of 78% from 24 reviews on Metacritic.com

Reviews Summary
A phenomenal addition to the Wii's library, one of the best gaming experiences around
A suitable curtain-raiser for online gaming on the Wii, but a balanced and deep extreme sports game this is not
Tricky AI later in the game, but multiplayer and online action makes this an essential Wii title.
Far from a perfect game, but it truly is fun when played online
Another game that sums up the ethos of the Wii - pure, unadulterated, accessible fun
Shallow and frequently frustrating but the fast-paced gameplay makes for a fun multiplayer experience.
If you've never played these soccer games before, now is the time to start
Most original and surreal take on the sport for years, Mario Strikers is a gem of a game.

Transformers Game Review (Ps2, Wii)

Based on the 2007 live-action feature film, "Transformers: The Game" lets gamers control the outcome in the battle for Earth as they choose to protect it as either Autobots or Decepticons. For those unfamiliar with Transformers, The Decepticons are the bad guys.

A score of 57%(Wii) and 56% (Ps2) on Metacritic.com, (based on an average of game reviews) would lead you to believe it's a little ahead of the recent spree of abysmal movie tie-ins, but read on.

Warning "doing both the Autobots and Decepticons campaign will only take a mere six hours or so to finish." source Deeko

Reviews Summary Wii
Likeable characters, top-notch production values, and enjoyable gameplay
Those looking for a Transformers fix should scour the bargain bins for that Atari's 2004 release
The boss battles are a frustration, pure movie tie-in fodder
Lack of diverse missions, insipid gameplay and taxing camera system results in a watered-down experience
The skeleton of a great game is here, but nothing comes together.
I can't imagine anyone but diehard fans going to these lengths
Paying $60 to play through the movies story is just too high a price to pay for a mediocre adventure game.

Reviews Summary Ps2
It’s not that this game is terrible, just kind of unimpressive and full of things that have been done better elsewhere.
While the movie stands, the video game most definitely falls.
On par with all other movie licensed games: relatively short, decent graphics, decent gameplay, and not much value to it.
Quickly thrown together with the most basic and juvenile concepts videogaming has.
Big, loud, shallow action game that severely lacks in content.
All the noise and effects in the galaxy can't disguise the lack of invention or class

Odin Sphere Review (Ps2)

vid upped by duckroll

A 2D fantasy action RPG with an emphasis on battle tactics and elaborate storytelling. A pretty exceptional offering and perhaps the last great RPG for the Ps2.
Scoring 84% from 38 reviews on Metacritic.com

Ps2 Reviews Summary
As close to perfection as you're going to get on the PS2
Never have I seen a game so visually pleasing.
A fun game with solid concepts, along with a great musical score and interesting plot.
Animations and graphics all that is worth recommending.
Unique, deep battle and level system, a good storyline, interesting characters and well balanced gameplay
They don't make too many like it anymore.
Repetition is frustratingly similar to that of countless other games
40+ hour adventure, one of the best RPGs to come out on the PS2 in a while
