Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
SYSTEM: Game Boy Color
MAKER: Nintendo
PRICE: $34.99
The technology behind this game floored me. Moving Kirby through levels requires players to tilt their Game Boys. It's as fun as it is groundbreaking.
Grade: A
SYSTEM: Game Boy Color
MAKER: Nintendo
PRICE: $34.99
Leave it to Nintendo to make a racing game work for Game Boy Color. The cars handle exceptionally well, plus it's cute.
Grade: A-
SYSTEM: PlayStation
MAKER: Infogrames
PRICE: $39.99
Smurf Racer is a pretty standard cart game. The only difference is that it features the Smurfs, although there are some voice changes. It's a good rent for kids who like the little blue guys.
Grade: B-
SYSTEM: PlayStation
MAKER: Activision
PRICE: $39.99
It has been a long time since a Simpsons game has come down the pike. While I appreciate seeing and hearing The Simpsons characters in a video game, this is pretty mindless entertainment.
Grade: C
SYSTEM: PlayStation 2
MAKER: 3DO
PRICE: $49.99
High Heat is arcade-style baseball all the way. It isn't tremendously complicated, which makes it fun for fans and non-fans.
Grade: B-
SYSTEM: PlayStation 2
PRICE: $49.99

This is the best Army Men title I've played. The PS2 graphics bring the miniature scenes alive, and the game play is addicting. Things can get frustrating though, which isn't so much fun.
Grade: C+
