    It is quite satisfying to power your way through the technology developments but having to do this over and over again, loses its entertainment value.

    Graphically, Tekken 5 is one of the smoothest games I have ever played. Almost every movement looks believable and the stages, the lighting, the character models, it all looks amazing.

    Now, the computer-controlled cars are much better at making players work hard for a win. The only time a player can tear apart the competition is if their car has significantly more aftermarket parts on it.

    A gift to those who spent their school years up late at night with "Illusion of Gaia" and "Secret of Mana."

    Those without a network adapter are left in the dark as Project: Snowblind unfortunately contains no split screen multiplayer.

    Overall, I couldn't be happier with MVP Baseball 2005. For next year, all I need is more mini-games, more un-lockable content, and a couple of pitchers who don't give up poorly-timed gopher balls.

    With an outrageous plethora of fantasy league-style features, nobody comes close to capturing the authenticity of fantasy leaguing better than EA.

    EA continues to raise the bar year after year with its sports simulations, and MVP Baseball 2005 is no exception.

    Touched! has enough thrills and weirdness to keep you playing.

    One other distraction to the proceedings is the inane squad chatter that constantly streams in.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While in many ways this is a good thing, the weaker storyline detracts from its overall enjoyability.

    It's everything good to be expected from a basketball game, plus loads of customization.

    You get both games in one case for just $40US. Fans of fighting games cannot pass on such a great deal.

    It's truly excellent to finally be able to play NBA Street V3 on Xbox Live.

    A great sports game and a betterment of its previous installments. If you're a fan, this is a no-brainer purchase.

    The mouse sensitivity is atrocious, even when set to maximum.

    The visual and storytelling satisfaction in gaming today across any platform doesn't get much better than OSW.

    It's achingly repetitive.

    I would highly suggest fans of the series to buy it even though the battle system is a little weak.

    It’s no "GTA," but I’ve played worst games recently.
    • 96 Metascore

    The best survivor horror game ever made. It's also one of the best action games I've played in a very long time.

    GBA owners and Zelda fans won't be disappointed.

    And that's what Mercenaries is all about. No, not democracy to a downtrodden people. Cash. And plenty of it!

    As fun as it is for fans, novice players should give it a pass.
    • 81 Metascore

    This is one tough game for newbies! Don't expect any sympathy from experienced MechWarriors, who take gleeful delight in annihilating those novices who come in their path.

    It doesn't have the same high quality of the "NBA Street" series due to the more urban roots of street basketball versus street football, but for a good adrenaline rush of smash-mouth football, look no further than NFL Street 2.

    When played with a few buddies I whole heartedly recommend taking NFL Street 2 for a spin no matter your genre preference, but taken as a single-player experience – football fan or not – it's the old chant, "Try before you buy."

    EA really took advantage of the touch screen.
    • 63 Metascore

    A great game if you’re looking for a racer that you’ll spend a lot of time on. It’s also great for those of you who are constantly on the go.
