Sure it starts to build up interest when you reach level 40 but it takes forever just to get to level 20.

Serious Sam fans might be intrigued by this game, but other first person shooter fans should check out games likes "Time Splitters 2" or "Red Faction." SSNE is just another first person shooter that can’t be taken all that seriously.

A mediocre fighting game that doesn’t provide any new ideas.

Resident Evil's idea of terror is to give you limited ammunition. Siren's idea is to give you practically none at all.

Should really appeal to fans of rhythm games and fans of watching their friends look like idiots.

Manhunt is sick, but it deserves both the success, and the revulsion it receives.

The third installment of the series, doesn’t do much in terms of “innovation."

The camera doesn’t always provide the most beneficial view of your surroundings.

The game controls pretty smooth, except when your player gets the ball. In perhaps an effort to emulate the awkwardness of dribbling, all of your movements are delayed slightly.

In long stretches, Painkiller can become repetitive. (By long stretches, I mean two or more hours.)

Obsessive fans of the show can at least play through for the storyline without tearing out too much hair. And with the extremely simplified gameplay, it seems to be made squarely for fans who don't play much video games. Everyone else can simply leave this on the shelf, with the quiet satisfaction that they haven't paid yet another game company for making yet another crappy game.

At times the multiplayer features can be quite entertaining but there may not be enough wrinkles added to the gameplay to keep groups playing. [Score = 94 if no experience with GBA game]

Despite the storyline and innovative one vs. one vs. one gameplay, NBA Ballers is a few balls short of the full rack that NBA Street Vol. 2 happens to be.

From top to bottom BTL screams “1997” or at least, “1998.”

An all-right RTS game but compared to current RTS games it's lacking.

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

The raw elements of DRvAK should please hardcore strategist, but it needs a little more polish in terms of pathfinding and formation options (which are extremely limited).

Even with it’s somewhat weaker story (in comparison to the original), Syberia II still managed to send a chill up my spine as the story closed.

The best title of the year to come for the exciting and morbid horror genre. Midnight Nowhere is a fine and classic example of what gaming should be – stimulating, playable, refreshing and real.

The clashing of weapons, the whooshing and swooshing of spells, the grunts and roars of monsters, wind passing through a valley, the sound of crashing waves on the shore, they all bring the game to life.

The realism is helped tremendously by the solid physics engine present within Crytech's Cryengine. I got untold hours of joy out of just pushing things and watching them roll or bounce down a hill.

The most impressive feature this time around isn't Pandora Tomorrow's lighting and shading effects or it's near perfect gameplay. It's the playability over Xbox Live

A great game with an accurate stat system, fluid animations, and plenty of depth to last a very long time. Although ASB doesn’t have the glamour and beauty MVP Baseball 2004 may have, the real beauty lies inside.

An above average game that will be loved by all fans of the X-Files series, but those gamers who aren’t fans of the series will find a game that requires you to know a little too much about the back story to appreciate the nuances of every character and meeting.

Jungle Storm isn’t a terrible game by all means, but it’s more suited for hardcore fans of the series that are likely to tolerant its shortcomings.

It’s amazing how much difference a year can make and MLB 2005 is a perfect example. MLB 2005 might re-kindle your devotion to the franchise.

Although I really liked Breakdown for its story and first-person implementation and grew to love the combat, some will think it’s a “niche” title with too many idiosyncrasies for a wider audience.

Is Worms 3D as good as its predecessors such as Worms, and Worms Armageddon? No, but that sure as hell doesn’t mean that Worms 3D should be overlooked.
