This game hurts bad in the sound department. A bunch of MIDI clips were used for the music and it fails to create the mood and atmosphere of being a badass agent.- Armchair Empire

Taken as a scripted series of events the gameplay can be engaging, particularly after an unusual plot twist.- Armchair Empire

PC diehards will be less tolerant of its keyboard/mouse control scheme, poor save system and lack of “Restart Mission” option, even if the game does have a lot of positives.- Armchair Empire

It’s just a shame that the fun is over a little too quickly but if you were disappointed by Rising Sun, then MOH: EA will give you new faith in a series that seems to be going in the right direction again.- Armchair Empire

At the end of the day, Samurai Western is one of those games where it’s hard not to wonder why someone bothered to make the game in the first place.- Armchair Empire

It has a few areas where the whole package could be tightened up, but the strategy is deep, delicious and crispy like bacon, which is what you want in a strategy sandwi-- I mean, game.- Armchair Empire

There's a good game here but when you have to fight tooth and nail through its problems to actually see it, there aren't many that will feel that AR is anything but a somewhat finished mess.- Armchair Empire

The gyro may seem like a gimmick – and it probably is – but that doesn't make Twisted any less worthy of the WarioWare moniker – it's fun, challenging, and ever so twisted.- Armchair Empire

This is a game that requires so much studying and preparation, that only those hard-core RTS gamers that really enjoyed SimCity or Civilization may want to give this everybody-wants-to-rule-the-world strategy game a try.- Armchair Empire

There are a few flaws that fracture Pariah as a game, but a better-than-you'd-expect single-player mode coupled with a very good online setup give Pariah enough of an advantage over other Halo wannabes as a perfect alternative to the mass contingent of Xbox FPS online gamers that play "Halo 2."- Armchair Empire

What really makes the game work so well is the pacing of the combat, coupled with a story that one actually wants to experience.- Armchair Empire

A fantastic game. Save for the somewhat dated look of the game, there is just too much being offered by Empire Earth II for RTS gamers not to take notice.- Armchair Empire

If there is one place where Stolen has the edge over Splinter Cell it's probably the minor gameplay mechanics like lock picking and computer hacking.- Armchair Empire

One of the more interesting and fresh games to come out this year. It's certainly worth your attention since it's so unique and different from a lot of other games currently out.- Armchair Empire

Psychonauts marries platforming, adventure games, stellar art, fun dialogue and a great gaming experience – it's a polygamous experience that I definitely recommend to all gamers.- Armchair Empire

It's only too bad that some of the elements that were only loosely introduced could not have been made more of a focus or an option in the game.- Armchair Empire

With the combination of some of the absent design aspects, the forcing of micromanagement, and the sub par graphics, I can only marginally recommend this game.- Armchair Empire

Maybe my only real complaint is that during Challenge mode there's a half-second delay from the completion of a line of tiles to the time is disappears.- Armchair Empire
