First-person truth about the latest games.

• 
• Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3
• Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 may not be the "ultimate" ninja game (that's a bit like aspiring to be the utimate Pope), but it's still loaded with enough content and features to keep fans of the series happy for hours.

• 
• Warriors Orochi
• Prepare yourself for a feast of mashed buttons as Warriors Orochi dishes out a heap of hack-and-slash action. You'll slice and dice the Asia of old in this hybrid button-masher, but unfortunately, the game's monotonous action and lackluster presentation offer little sustenance.

• 
• Hot Shots Tennis
• The well established golf game franchise, Hot Shots, has traded its clubs for a racket--and oh what a racket it is. After ten years of making fun and accessible golf games, Hot Shots Tennis arrives, attempting to adapt Hot Shots Golf's winning formula and turn it into another lucrative franchise.

• 
• Wild ARMs 5
• As my car pulled out of Reno, NV last summer I questioned whether or not my decision to buy a cowboy hat in the parking lot of a truck stop from a guy named Leslie was a good idea.

• 
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
• Living out the life of a high school student may sound mundane, but Shin Megami Tensai: Persona 3 actually manages to make it compelling.

• 
• Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s
• Guitar Hero 2 may have included over sixty songs, but you can't stop the rock, which is why Harmonix and Activision quickly brings us the next installment in the explosive franchise. But this isn't Guitar Hero 3 by any stretch of imagination. In fact, it's not even Guitar Hero 2.5; it's more like Guitar Hero 2.1.
