It is by no means a replacement for any of the current high profile racers, and staunch simulation fans will surely laugh at the wonky physics and weak driver AI, but for the affordable budget price you really can’t go wrong by snagging a copy of Ford Racing 3.

Arrests are fun for about two levels, and then you notice the same few sayings keep repeating when you slap the cuffs on perps.

A brilliantly crafted fighter that any fighting game fan must go out and buy right away, no questions asked.

The platforming is tight and the puzzles go from simple to devious at a perfect pace.

It’s a great game, as long as you aren’t expecting more than cars, cars, and more cars... The big thing that kept us down is the frame rate issue, which we both ended up agreeing was the major drag about this game.

The gameplay is basic and the story isn’t overly original, but there is this addictive and drawing quality to the game and storyline that makes my old-school heart yearn for more.

The bio-augmentations and weaponry are an especially pleasant surprise that open the door to literally hundreds of tactical possibilities, and the game’s visual presentation is second to none.

It isn’t even in the same league as Big’s "NBA Street V3" yet (what is though?), but this first outing has without question laid the groundwork for what could blossom into a truly great series for EA.

Feature for feature, there is no better pure baseball simulation to buy this season than MVP Baseball 2005.

With both feet planted firmly in the "So it's not perfect, but it sure is fun" box, Chicago Enforcer manages to be a well done bit of FPS goodness for a nice, cheap price. As long as you set your expectations to a reasonable level, you'll have a good time with this one.

For sheer value for your gaming dollar, there's absolutely no way you're going to top Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics, period. For the potential of hundreds of hours of gameplay, at a mere twenty dollars it's such a fantastic bargain that even if you don't think you'd be interested in turn-based strategy, you won't be hurting in the pocket if you give this one a try.

You'll definitely get your twenty bucks worth and then some for Adventure mode's script and some of its choice dialog alone, and putting the wheel to the road in Free Ride isn't a chore at all.

But now having finished the game in a few short hours, less than five more specifically, and considering how mind-numbingly boring those hours were, I can say without caution that NanoBreaker is one of the worst games I have played in quite a while.

All you really need to know is that Fatal Shadows is the best game in the series to date, and although there are a few considerable drawbacks, playing this game is a sneaky good time.

No joke, I actually fell asleep playing the game, and it was only 3 o’ clock in the afternoon!

Everything that is good about the game (the flight missions, the refurbished musical score) stems from the original Star Fox. What Namco tried to do with the on-foot missions makes me wonder why purists are arguing that the series hasn't evolved enough.

Every time the action has you hooked, the intertwined, mediocre-at-best stealth missions suck away a lot of the fun and detract from what could have been one of the best action adventure titles of this year.

Pause menus that take at least five-ten seconds to load up are downright pathetic, a lack of intriguing gameplay definitely drew me away quicker and quicker, and mostly, the inappropriate use of a beloved-by-many-except-this-reviewer fighting franchise’s moniker is foul play indeed.

The new gameplay tweaks work better than imagined, and the extensive serving of play modes and creative toolsets make this game a slam-dunk purchase for any and every basketball fan alive.

In terms of sound, you’ll get plenty of typical arcade fighting game punches and grunts, but you’ll also hear a load of nice voice samples for each character and the music is pretty solid stuff as well.
