Despite the constant companionship of allies, it still feels like you're the only person in the conflict.- Armchair Empire

Only bother with DBZ:B if you are a steadfast, utterly devoted fan of the series, otherwise steer clear of this title and getting your fighting game fix elsewhere.- Armchair Empire

The characters are visually and aurally generic (including the crowd), and overall the audio is bad. On the flip side, it’s pretty easy to pick up and play against a buddy with wrestlers built from the ground up.- Armchair Empire

While the control can feel "floaty" at times, button mashing is as successful as nuanced control, and the camera can make it hard to keep a bead on your robot, the overall effect of playing 4-player multiplayer is darn fun!- Armchair Empire

By and large, GotL just doesn’t bring enough to the table. The new missions are fun, but the fact that this expansion has been divided from it’s evil counterpart and the overall sense of the game actually being Disciples II Gold Edition 0.5 makes the game feel like a jip when you can get so much more out of the original Disciples II for a fraction of the cost.- Armchair Empire

RF’s biggest speed bump on its way past Mediocrity Street is the hard-to-figure-out license and Race of Champions mode.- Armchair Empire

A stripped down husk of what the other Wolfenstein titles available are. While the level design is nice, and there’s some good audio features, overall the title just fails to engage the gamer nearly as much as many of it’s competitors, or it’s bigger brothers do.- Armchair Empire

A good game that could have been much better. As it is, the game brings a lot of great ideas to the table, but its lack of cohesion will distract fans of turn-based strategy, while action gamers are likely to be frustrated by the game's slow pace.- Armchair Empire

Poor graphics, limited car selection, and arbitrary track design mar the experience greatly, which is quite frustrating when there are some very nice qualities present in the game as well.- Armchair Empire

In short, it's a little on the boring side – it's only the aesthetics that will keep you playing.- Armchair Empire

The fisticuffs get tired pretty fast (as will your right thumb) trying to beat up the bad guys, particularly the later stages that feature god-like AI opponents and extremely trying boss battles.- Armchair Empire

Frequent adventure gamers who've acquired the sixth sense needed to navigate quickly through item hunts may enjoy Journey to the Center of the Earth for its engaging story and often-beautiful environments.- Armchair Empire

The same features, story, and style of the era survive the port, although the graphics, gameplay, and sound are roughed up.- Armchair Empire

You’re better off picking up "ESPN NHL 2K5" because for the third year in a row Sega’s hockey series takes the Cup as it’s made the furthest leap forward in improvements.- Armchair Empire

In it’s favor it has a solid variety of modes and offers an arcade experience without totally slashing realism but Freestyle mode only goes ¼ of the way and the invisible walls might have you ripping your hair out.- Armchair Empire

Gladiator was on its way to becoming the sleeper hit of 2003… then the gameplay threw it into the bargain bin.- Armchair Empire

The story isn’t entirely accurate which is a bit of a downer, the source material truly demonstrates a lot more potential then this.- Armchair Empire

Defeat twenty muggers and save twenty innocents and make it to the end of the level in four minutes? Tossing down a controller is one thing, flinging a brand new piece of hardware a the nearest hard surface just isn’t possible.- Armchair Empire

So much more could have been done with this game, but it’s a move in the right direction. I only wish that there had been more involvement the X-Men characters.- Armchair Empire

With superior games like "Disgaea," "Fire Emblem" and "Final Fantasy Tactics" out there, all of which are more interesting on pretty much every level, Gladius remains a merely competent title in a field already full of magnificent experiences.- Armchair Empire

The arcade action is a nice diversion (and fun) for half hour stretches but any long-term involvement is not likely – it’s just not deep enough. And the speed issues…- Armchair Empire

F.E.A.R. Files plays very similar to the original F.E.A.R. and doesn’t offer much in the way of an upgrade, yet at the same time F.E.A.R. Files does offer quite a bit of content.- Armchair Empire

May contain a high replay value (for some), but in the end that was not even enough to keep me playing. The uninspired and flawed game play hurts this title in the long run.- Armchair Empire

It's too one dimensional – violence being the answer to all the Revolution missions without a stealth objection or changing environments to consider.- Armchair Empire

Worth a look if you are a fan of the "Ridge Racer" games, but everyone else can probably give it a miss.- Armchair Empire

This could have been a seriously awesome game. Instead, we get a clone that blows its own legs off with a clichéd storyline that ignores the internal logic of it's own world.- Armchair Empire

The PS2 version suffers from some absolutely brutal load times. Every time that you start to talk with a character you can expect a 30 second wait, and every time that you head to a new area, you can expect a 45-60 second wait. Not exactly a great way to keep people in the game.- Armchair Empire

In the end, The Masters is, in the purest sense, a golf simulator. It does not require extensive practice, nor does it have enough to entice people who have no interest in the sport. For those that do, however, your devotion will be greatly rewarded.- Armchair Empire

The tongue-in-cheek tone of the game almost seems to mock you as much as it mocks the real life despots of the Cold War. If you can shrug that off, you'll find a decent little sim.- Armchair Empire
