    A hack-and-slash with plenty of action-adventure gameplay, Rise of the Kasai is a good game for the gamer who loves the blood-spilling with huge and heavy weapons.

    Unfortunately we don't get any creative new monsters but, we do get a new multiplayer mode in Capture the Flag.

    Doom 3 stumbles a bit in its online play, but it still offers a great alternative to Halo 2 for FPS online gaming, although it won't exactly make anybody forget about Halo 2's much better online package.

    The presentation in LSW is excellent. The game’s visuals are detailed and the Lego look is superb.

    How can anyone justify dropping $50 on a ninja game with a broken camera, un uber weapon that makes most of the game a cakewalk, some twitchy control and only a so-so presentation? I certainly can't.

    If the first two games left you in the dark with the heavy emphasis on stealth, then Chaos Theory will certainly intrigue you as there’s the option to play it like an action game.

    Squeezing the fun out of Mario Party Advance is a tough slog.

    It is still pretty stunning to me that I can lay on my couch with a wireless hand-held and play total strangers from across the globe.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    In the past, shrinking a game down to portable form meant cutting out a number of features, but that doesn't happen here.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is hard to get excited about the game. It certainly isn't an embarrassment, and huge Spidey fans will likely find lots to love here, but everything has a “been there, done that” aura about it.

    • 95 Critic Score
    A highly polished gore-fest that is easily the best game that I have played on the Playstation 2 this last year.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It works in small doses in providing some carnage and distraction from reality.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With its impressive graphic and new Nitrous boost feature, RR positions itself as the best game in the series and it provides a great example of the quality of games we can expect from the PSP.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Revisiting the levels to mop up adds some replay value to the otherwise rather short game.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 47 Critic Score
    Fail and wind up like so many game journalists at E3 – waking up across town with absolutely nothing in your pants pockets (if you're wearing pants at all).
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The save system is crummy.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    It is the most impressive game to use to show off the PSP's power, but it is also very, very fast and fun.
    • 57 Metascore

    NBA
    It is probably only worth a purchase if you are a huge basketball fan and just have to have a five-on-five.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The strategic elements are in place for the most part, it has an interesting take on resource collecting, and the 3D engine makes the explosions nice to watch.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A nice, neon-enhanced glow sharpens the graphical package, and the colorful costumes of many of the game's characters alleviate the rather dull environmental visuals, above and below ground.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you only had to do one thing at a time, it would be easy, but most of the time you’re dealing with three things and planning for the forth.
    • 46 Metascore

    The painful hand cramps, the repetitive motion of sliding the stylus, and the extremely uneven challenge of the opponents, make Pokémon Dash a title that can be safely missed.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Bland and non-involving.
    • 80 Metascore

    Find out what Fun is again.

    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While all this gameplay is offered, and the core strategic elements of the game are sound, the game is crippled by its mediocre production values.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Just be warned: My feelings of nostalgia could easily be frustration for you.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Easily the best WWII first person shooter on the Xbox.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    While there’s plenty of new items that fit into the consumer demographics of the college-age Sims such as mp3 players and cell phones, and chances to experience full-blown Animal House-style college days, it’s hard to take advantage of those chances because if you’re serious about getting a Sim college degree, you really have to focus on schoolwork.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Such is the nature of a bad game though; if it's bad, it would have always been and always will be bad.
