An alarm should go off when you read the subtitle of the expansion pack, which is simply, "Expansion Pack." There are no bells, no whistles, and no sunroof.- Armchair Empire

Exquisitely detailed, satisfying, immersive, and challenging – worth buying.- Armchair Empire

Redneck Racing (RR) is to Redneck Rampage, what "X-COM Enforcer" is to "X-COM." The flavor of RR is definitely taken from Rampage, but you won’t be battling aliens.- Armchair Empire

You sever someone’s head and you need to lob it into a goal! Sounds fun? Yup, right up there with watching grass grow.- Armchair Empire

A great fast-paced action (but repetitive) game that pays homage to a number of arcade games and will probably show up on the console side of the industry.- Armchair Empire

If you are a big fan of "The Sims" and are looking for a little vacation from that game, crack out the margarita mix and sun block before heading on over to the exceptionally good Tropico. May your reign be long and your Swiss bank account large!- Armchair Empire

It’s got some very good features (voice communication, integrated community options, good team action), making it a game I can recommend if you’re willing to suffer through the growing pains.- Armchair Empire

Black & White is one of the games you will remember 10 years from now as a turning curve for PC gaming. Thank you Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios, this game has certainly been something fresh and new.- Armchair Empire

Just firing this beast up, and blasting some bad guys without a care in the world feels very refreshing.- Armchair Empire

The game is average-looking but the sound is nicely blended into the action, which is what the music should be – an addition to the game not a detraction.- Armchair Empire

For a true PC RTS to surpass the lazy day couch and button mash of a console classic, it must be fun! Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns is.- Armchair Empire

Contains all the elements of a classic but foolishly falls short in vital areas. The overall quality does remain however and can keep a gamer involved for weeks, though not without side effects.- Armchair Empire

A standard console port, which does not offer any improvements over its N64 incarnation. A mid-mission save function would have been nice, since some of the missions are so tough you may never want to attempt them again once they’ve been conquered.- Armchair Empire

A different sort of game, one where story dominates the action, but in this case to a fault.- Armchair Empire

Stupid Invaders requires amoral behavior to complete – you’ll kill more than a few people, including Santa – some of which is fun to watch.- Armchair Empire

With all the good aspects that Oni has it’s amazing that the action can get a bit "samey."- Armchair Empire

A great add-on for fans of the Quake series and multiplayer mayhem. This is a must have for the frag fanatic.- Armchair Empire

A great game. The humour is consistent right from the start and nearly always borders on ridiculous, which is a nice parry to the action.- Armchair Empire

New players to the genre might be put off by the learning curve and difficulty level, but if they stick with it (and practice) they will start to have fun. Serious players will like the chance to sink their teeth into a good turn-based game.- Armchair Empire

A "gateway" game. It’s friendly enough for first time players, but it’s got all the things to keep you playing and become a hardcore racer. (It’s even got options to show you the best trajectory and supply driving tips.) But even the hardcore simmer will find F1RC a challenge and realistic.- Armchair Empire

Prye runs and walks as if he’s just spent the last 15 hours on the back of a galloping horse then, unable to find an outhouse, crapped himself.- Armchair Empire

Probably the best game-play design that I've seen in years; the game play is twitchy - if you're a purist you're going to have a conniption playing this.- Armchair Empire

The combination of style, wit, creativity, spycraft, cool locations, great gadgets and the overall sense of fun make this one a must have for FPS fans and a recommended game for casual gamers.- Armchair Empire

This is what an adventure game should be: easy to look at, great puzzles and sound, simple interaction, humour, solid writing and the power to transport the player somewhere else for some fun.- Armchair Empire

It looks amazing. But this game isn’t just a pretty face, the deep gameplay and replay value catapult this title head and shoulders above the crowd.- Armchair Empire

While it is creepy, and does have a solid story the mixed presentation and weak controls mar the experience.- Armchair Empire

This the most frightening game I’ve ever played. This is due to two factors: the light-sourcing and the sound.- Armchair Empire
