A great addition to the survival horror genre. It's got good (if complex) controls, decent visuals and the backing of a terrific license.

If you're willing to get frightened out of your wits, be grossed out along the way and feel like an icicle, The Thing will definitely not disappoint.

Sub-par graphics, poor animation, too much downtime in the action and meager music all detract from what could have been a welcome addition to any gamer's collection.

No other game can be properly compared to it.

The quality of every component of the final product - from graphics and sound to vehicle physics and gameplay - is uniformly dismal.

The real-time naval tactics elicited in ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore combat are both subtle and enjoyable.

You can buy gear, place bets on games, get tattoos and haircuts, but when it comes to actually playing ball, the title fails to deliver.

Misfires on pretty much all cylinders.

There's still no excuse for an unbalanced throwing game and slightly twitchy AI routines that should have been cleared up in the intervening year.

The complete lack of innovation and diversity, along with the utterly draining repetitiveness of the obstacles you encounter, suck most of the joy out of the gameplay experience.

Smart gameplay blends with furious action to produce an experience that can only be described as "Metal Gear Solid" Goes Barbarian!

Enclave has so much promise that it's a shame it's crippled by one key design flaw. While the occassional checkpoint exists just before the battles with big boss characters, they are so rare that you may very well never see one.

If you've rolled down these streets before, be advised that there's virtually nothing new under the desert sun, and that one new area does not a satisfying sequel make.

Its full campaign, enhanced multiplayer mode and updated graphics are definite pluses, while the unconventional warfare storyline makes Resistance a unique offering.

Astounding pre-rendered cinematics and a tightly woven storyline are backed by a substantial and varied single-player campaign.

While there are some isolated elements of Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon that work, such as the extensive collection of moves and authentic sound effects, they are very tiny islands in a swirling maelstrom of poor gameplay and distressing visuals.

In many ways this is a generic quality game - not embarrassing in any area, while at the same time not being outstanding either.

Indistinct characters, painfully hokey storytelling, poor AI, and a shallow combat system add up to a disappointing experience.

The frame rate isn't brilliant (though the physics model is), load times are long, and sometimes frustration will get the best of you. But rich environments, awesome music, and the game's sheer charm outshine all of that.

Drop dead tedious as a construction simulation, limited and rigid as a business management experience, and ridiculously uninteresting as a people-watching escapade.

Enough charm to rekindle the joy of the old-style score-based blasters. However, technical problems like the poor interface, unreliable frame rate, and steep learning curve really gouge out the fun.

A game that plays you with its unique sanity effects, that forces you to adapt to over a dozen characters and that holds no punches when it comes to the horror of Lovecraftian agents plotting out demise, Eternal Darkness will be a significant milestone in gaming for years to come.

The controls are tight, but very involved, and the mission design doesn't do a good job of easing you into the myriad gameplay features.

A revolutionary step forward in role-playing games...Any fan of the RPG genre should not be caught dead without a copy of Neverwinter Nights on his or her PC.

Its beautifully rendered backgrounds and intriguing premise aren't enough to cover the fact that the program resembles an early 1990s point-and-click scavenger hunt, released ten years too late.

It's one of those games you can start playing one evening, and then the next time you look up it's three in the morning.

Funny, witty and cool, Outlaw Golf also manages to be a bit on the shallow side and wear thin too easily.

If you don't have the facility to gather at least two other people to your GameCube, then you will not find much fun in Wrestlemania X8.
