Review Wrap-ups (Paraphrased):
The Godfather (PSP, Xbox 360) - 360 version is worth it, but the PSP version is not.
Blitz: The League (Xbox 360) - Only for Blitz: The League rookies.
Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run (PS2, Xbox) - Didn't get a review copy. Not that good of a game.
Power Stone Collection (PSP) - Two awesome games for the price of one? Sold.
Crash Boom Bang! (DS) - Not worth the money.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PSP) - Didn't get a review copy in time, think LCS in Vice City.

Nerd Games (Paraphrased):
Tales of the Abyss (PS2) - Return to form for the series.
Children of Mana (DS) - Mana for children.
Mage Knight: Destiny's Soldier (DS) - Controls work, but the rest doesn't.

There seemed to be a lot of reviews with a large difference between the scores.

After seeing what was reviewed this month, there is no way FF XII could NOT have been GOTM :)

This belongs in each of the system's respective forums. I know alot of DS gamers will probably think twice about some of the games thanks to the reviews. Especially considering the TRU sale is right around the corner.

Scurge: Hive (DS) - 6, 6, 7.5
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (DS) - 6.5, 6.5, 8.5
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (DS) - 6.5, 7, 8
Magical Starsign (DS) - 5.5, 6.5, 6
MechAssault: Phantom War (DS) - 4, 6.5, 3
Touch Detective (DS) - 6.5, 3.5, 5.5

I refuse to believe that Touch Detective is that bad. From the review, the only reason the girl gave it a 3.5 was because it was too obscure. She said the story, characters, and dialogue were entertaining...which is what makes a good point and clicker.

TDU came close, though I know one of the reviewers (the 8 score, which was Garnett Lee's review) was embarassed by his review seeing the online mode still in disarray weeks after it came out.

Dont forget FFXII: We hate this, this, this, this, and this thing, we kinda like this, so we'll give it an 8.5+

Odd. No review for Tiger 07?
