When you realize that a mini-game is better than the actual game, it kinda sends off signals that something is a little bit wrong.- Armchair Empire

While the package is certainly one of the best-looking fighting games ever, the overall gameplay is hit and miss (though it hits more often than it misses) but with human opponents it can be good fun.- Armchair Empire

For those that want a more relaxed game experience devoid of that “Go! Go! Go!” mentality, you’ll feel quite at home in Animal Crossing: Wild World.- Armchair Empire

It’s still pleasant, lighthearted fun and legions better than the embarrassing "Lunar: Dragon Song," making it the uncontested champion of DS RPGs.- Armchair Empire

While the game features its own amount of idiosyncrasies when it comes to the menus and interface, and a steep learning curve, there is some fun to be had, even if it takes a while to get to that point.- Armchair Empire

To give the visual style greater impact Stubbs the Zombie features the best soundtrack this year.- Armchair Empire

Kong's controls are naturally quite sluggish, and the combat plays off like a jungle version of WWE, except instead of pinning your opponents, you grab their jaws and pound buttons until you twist their necks with a satisfying snap.- Armchair Empire

In comparison to Call of Duty 2, Quake 4 doesn't quite meet the same "exceptional" level but it is a solid game with a strong adherence to the conventions of the genre. It's a must try to Quake and first-person shooter fans but as an outright purchase... rent it first.- Armchair Empire

Ridge Racer 6 is recommended for nuance-loving race fans. With the amount of fore-thought and planning required to win, casual fans are likely to frustrated.- Armchair Empire

Perfect Dark Zero's first-person shooter competition on the 360 is "Quake 4" and "Call of Duty 2" and it falls directly between the two.- Armchair Empire

A very solid launch title for the Xbox 360 but there’s still room for improvement, like some kind of enveloping physics engine.- Armchair Empire

It is neither particularly offensive nor particularly engrossing, but for a licensed property, one could certainly do far worse.- Armchair Empire

Aficionados of the real-time strategy genre might want to buy Earth 2160 even though there are almost too many options to consider when it comes to vehicle design and the lackluster campaigns could have benefited from a lot more attention.- Armchair Empire

If you've been away from the Tony Hawk franchise for a few games and just dropped a bunch of cash for a 360, it's time to get re-acquainted with the King of Extreme Sports Games.- Armchair Empire

The perfect kind of portable title -- while it's based off a console game, the unique visual style alone makes it worthwhile to own both.- Armchair Empire

It’s just unfortunate it’s over all too soon, because there is some good action here – the execution is just a bit off.- Armchair Empire

While Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 isn't without its flaws -- I would have appreciated more courses and it does take a long time to "master" -- it is probably the best of EA's launch sports titles for the 360.- Armchair Empire

If you're a soccer nut FIFA 06 is your only fix for the Xbox 360, but it'll probably disappoint you with a complete lack of "standard" features.- Armchair Empire

The best looking football game on the market. It's definitely not the most full-featured football game available.- Armchair Empire

Critical flaws in a console game are unacceptable, especially when updating (i.e. patching) console games just isn’t done yet.- Armchair Empire

The game doesn’t just look impressive, but sounds impressive too. Every sounds fits the game and some voices are so-so, but for the most part; it’s very fitting.- Armchair Empire

Regardless of whether one is playing the game alone, or online with a few other people there is a ton of fun to be had with this game, and it should be in every DS owner’s library.- Armchair Empire
