Overall, I couldn't be happier with MVP Baseball 2005. For next year, all I need is more mini-games, more un-lockable content, and a couple of pitchers who don't give up poorly-timed gopher balls.- Armchair Empire

For all its flash, it still begs the questions: Do visible nipples add anything to gameplay? I’ll let you decide.- Armchair Empire

The defense and prosecuting attorneys aren't merely suits with expensive educations, they're presented as warriors fated to opposing sides due to their professions.- Armchair Empire

It’s good, even fantastic at times, walking the line between reality and fantasy in a pleasant mix that’s really hard to put down once you start playing.- Armchair Empire

This game has proven to me to be more addictive than cigarettes after all night romps in the hay with my special friend...the most fun I’ve had in playing an RTS since "Dungeon Keeper 2" and "Warcraft 2."- Armchair Empire

Hell-bent on destruction psycho drivers finally get a game to meet their rubbernecking tendencies full throttle.- Armchair Empire

Big kudos and thumbs-up to Camelot for an excellent save system. Even if you're in the middle of a match you can pick-up later and start playing from there (in any mode).- Armchair Empire

It’s easy to say that the graphics are great or that EA delivered another game with impeccable presentation style, but the pitching and batting engines really thrive here and the game is fun to play.- Armchair Empire

My overall experience with Mario Advance was a good one even though it lacks originality. It’s a blast from the past – the control even feels the same – and it brought back some fond gaming memories.- Armchair Empire

But a New York City-sized upgrade to the visual presentation along with the inclusion of mini-games and more focused, goal-oriented gameplay should appeal to the urban-centric Sims fans that prefer console action to the PC.- Armchair Empire

What makes this game a real standout, though, is its production value.- Armchair Empire

Throws in some streamlined role-playing elements such as basic item gathering and earning experience points. But you'd never mistake NG for a role-playing game because most role-playing games don't require the reflexes of a mongoose.- Armchair Empire

In this reviewers opinion it meets or exceeds Halo 2 in every category.- Armchair Empire

Not only is it an intriguing game, it’s also fun. It’s like a good book – one that you’ll want to return to again and again.- Armchair Empire

The game completely over-delivers and will surprise you at every corner with its diverse mission design.- Armchair Empire

One area the game is really stellar is the challenge given by the CPU artificial intelligence. This game pushes you and makes you sweat to win, especially when it comes to contests against ranked opponents and when squaring off in a rivalry game.- Armchair Empire

And besides all the above, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is fun. No matter how many times I died, either by my own misstep or some surprise awaiting my entry into a room, I kept on playing even when I was stumped on a puzzle or figuring out how to get out of a room alive.- Armchair Empire

Each environment is fully (and gloriously) destructible and more "alive" than ever. The graphics are fantastic! Equally so for the animations.- Armchair Empire

Open for Business will require you to put aside the leisurely pursuits of your Sims, roll up your sleeves and put in a hard day’s work to succeed. But in gameplay and fun, this is the most rewarding payday you’ll find in any Sims game.- Armchair Empire

And that's what Mercenaries is all about. No, not democracy to a downtrodden people. Cash. And plenty of it!- Armchair Empire

Hardcore RPG fanatics might want to try this before a buy solely because the real-time battles may not be as appealing to them.- Armchair Empire

A great, rollicking adventure with some integrated action and worth your time if you’re in the “Adventure Games are Dead and I Miss Them” camp.- Armchair Empire

Has it all: fun, adventure, good-looking graphics, awesome sound, quirkiness, challenge, and an innovative inventory system. It's not as open as it could be and the constantly respawning bad guys are likely to grate on some nerves, but that's not enough to bring it down.- Armchair Empire
