The downsides are hard to ignore (or even tolerate sometimes), but the fun multiplayer, huge roster of wrestlers, and better-looking graphics than previous installments, make it a weekend rental for a hit of wrestling nostalgia, rather than an outright purchase.- Armchair Empire

This game is a subpar attempt at adding a new mode of transportation, and absolutely nothing more, to the racing genre. Worth perhaps a drunken rental, certainly no more.- Armchair Empire

Simply a bad racing game. The only good thing about it is the price but you can find many more quality games in the same price range.- Armchair Empire

Much like any good party, Boogie ends much too soon while the fun’s still going on.- Armchair Empire

A major disappointment with too many problems to be anything more than a weekend rental.- Armchair Empire

Unless you’re unbelievably set into playing old-school D&D gaming, don’t look at purchasing the Eye of the Beholder.- Armchair Empire

By all accounts the control is very good, although there is some adjustment required to acclimatize to the stiff buttons of the Xbox controller.- Armchair Empire

Pity the living ships that make up Genesis Rising. There was such a wonderful collection of ideas that were utilized in such an atrocious fashion that you almost want to put the ships down like a lamed horse. It's kinder that way.- Armchair Empire

The biggest change in Volume 2 is that the display now takes up the entire screen, instead of having the right side partitioned for a status bar. The rest of the additions aren't terribly exciting, unless you really find that collecting a stable of horses and elephants to be all that interesting.- Armchair Empire

When the playability distractions are absent from Breach, though, it is a relatively good, albeit barebones, Call of Duty online military shooter substitute.- Armchair Empire

All in all, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is like a steak that sizzles and looks great but tastes as if they cooked all the flavor out in the pan.- Armchair Empire

A buggy driving game, mixed with a terrible "GTA" clone and bad "Max Payne" rip-off.- Armchair Empire

Nothing really stands out in EOE, I had to force myself to finish it; nothing compelled me to do so.- Armchair Empire

With this, players get a nice crossover fighter between a good number of Capcom franchises, very responsive control, and a deliciously nostalgic, old school game experience. That’s certainly quite nice for the price.- Armchair Empire

The problem that ultimately hurts Supremacy, though, is the game’s AI. If there were more challenge to it, this game would be a heck of a lot more fun to play.- Armchair Empire

Harbinger does have some good ideas, but ultimately the lackluster combat and the very linear nature of the game prevent the title from really becoming engaging.- Armchair Empire

Sonic Adventure DX should have, could have been so much more than a straight port with a few improvements.- Armchair Empire

All in all, Transformers Dark Side of the Moon wasn't the worst game I've played, and moreover certainly wasn't even the worst movie adaptation of a game I've played but it certainly could have used more QA time.- Armchair Empire

While the little kids won’t especially notice or even care about the some of the graphical quirks and choppy animation – Puss in Boots is the main culprit – any older gamers will likely be distracted but if you’re just playing the “hard” parts of the game, it’s not so bad.- 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

While the character advancement scheme and tactical battle maps are improvements worth keeping, they feel almost wasted on unworthy antagonists in the service of a wretched storyline.- Armchair Empire

A really interesting game that some people will think is great, while others will harp on the shortcomings. Personally, I really enjoyed the title and will keep the game in my rotation until I defeat all of those missions completely with all bonuses.- Armchair Empire

While it is creepy, and does have a solid story the mixed presentation and weak controls mar the experience.- Armchair Empire

"Devil May Cry 2" got a lot of heat for feeling bland and uninspired compared to its predecessor. Spawn: Armageddon, being even more vapid, actually makes that vaguely lackluster title seem like a work of absolute genius.- Armchair Empire

Besieger is, all in all, nothing new; there is nothing that shouts creative genius, and in short, has all been done before.- Armchair Empire

The Wii controls are simply abysmal at the worst of times and merely “okay” at the best of times.- Armchair Empire

The worst offender is shot fakes that turn into accidental shots. This happened to me 3 or 4 times a game – deadly when the score is close.- Armchair Empire
