WarTech: Senko no Ronde is a trite piece of airy piffle with nothing meaty to recommend it. It's the perfect example of what would have been accurately described as cheaply-produced import bait five or ten years ago, and I'm honestly surprised that someone gave it a green light for domestic release.

Game Description: WarTech: Senko No Ronde is high-speed action gameplay, where quick reflexes decide who lives and who dies. In the distant future, humanity has colonized countless new galaxies and Earth has become a planet mined for its natural resources. A violent war has erupted as nations struggle for control. Rounder Mechs fill the skies as the fate of the world is determined in aerial combat. Climb into a mech-suit straight from anime, then shoot off into space for one-on-one shooter action. It's your mech against theirs, your reaction time against theirs: Weapons and special attacks let you hit each other from far off, but you'll have to close in for the finish. Metal fists and feet combine with missiles and laser cannons for intense, blindingly-fast shooter combat.

It satisfies in small doses, but there's no denying that neither the engaging characters nor the Star Wars license are enough to conceal the fact that Star Wars: Lethal Alliance is thin and underdeveloped.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 offers essentially the same experience as the original, though with a shorter campaign. Unfortunately, it also shares the same fundamental weaknesses—namely, unwieldy controls and unsatisfying shooting gameplay.

Game Description: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds on the events of the first hit game, for an all-new tactical combat experience. In the year 2014, rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent forces throws Mexico into full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States. The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border.

Game Description: Red Steel is an exclusive Wii launch title that takes full advantage of the console's innovative controller and puts players directly into the action. Your fiancée has been kidnapped and her father—a Japanese mafia kingpin—murdered by a rival gang. The only way to save your loved one and defend your honor is to journey from Los Angeles to Japan and confront the Tokyo underworld.

A hybrid First Person Shooter/Slasher, Red Steel tells the story of a personality-free bodyguard who travels through the seamy underbelly of the world of Japanese organized crime to save his girlfriend from the clutches of the nefarious Yakuza. He accomplishes this by alternately shooting and stabbing the hundreds of people who stand between him and the woman who appears briefly at the beginning of the game.
