Because of its tight game-play, depth and dizzying amount of features, Madden is still the one to beat.

It's slightly tweaked and certainly a good game but so were the previous ones. Unless this is your first Madden football game then don't bother.

The game has several improvements and new features, which adds to the replay value. Although the owner mode may not appeal to everyone, the game offers plenty of other features to keep any football fan happy.

The ease of the control system makes this a perfect rental for a day or two.

You may want to make the comparison to "Devil May Cry" but Chaos Legion is not in the same league. Think of it as a poor man's version.

Admittedly there is not much here for the Ghost Recon vet. Beginners will get the most bang for their buck with this purchase.

In the end it's the drab gameplay that ultimately hurts what could been a more innovative experience...I'd certainly recommend playing the game - just maybe in bite size chewable doses.

While the novelty of being scared witless by the hideous creatures in the Silent Hill series may have ebbed some in recent years, Silent Hill 3 is guaranteed to graft a slow chill to your spine.

Better courses, more tricks and a major overhaul in virtually all departments, Rides Gone Wild has improved on everything that reviewers and fans alike criticized in the original.

Pure console fare; it's going to lower the bar on the PC's status as a more sophisticated gaming machine for sure. It's pure mindless fun for the most part, and at other times it's just pure mindless.

Nothing more than a stagnant, relentlessly boring game. You can exploit everything the game has to offer in less than a couple of hours.

Each fire is unique and has several factors that must be considered before any action can take place. Emergency Fire Response lets you see if you have what it takes, and it's ex-fireman approved.

The biggest problem with BUM:ZoD (actually BumZod is kind of a cool word…ya bumzod!) is directly related to the narrow track design that awaits you on every track. Crashing, smashing and bashing into the sides is something you'll have to get used to because there is no discernible way of NOT doing it.

The game looks good, sounds good, has a great collision detection system, no drop in the framerate or any other noticeable technical flaws. But like so many sequels, it's just void of a soul.

The graphics blow, the control is as responsive as Anna Nicole Smith's husband, the animation is an insult to those 60's Hulk cartoons with the retarded theme song.

It's a decent offering for the Xbox but it's nothing compared to the great RTS games available for the PC.

Responsive as a sim, the vehicles handle exceptionally well. They're well balanced and react as you would expect such a vehicle to in every situation.

It will take the better part of a day to get comfortable with the controls so plan on using up some of your patience. In a short while you'll be soaring with the eagles - and also dropping like flies.

One of the must haves for the system. Finally after a gapping hole in the gaming industry I feel like someone has created a complete game. It doesn't leave you hanging un-satisfied.

A random map generator will give you some decent replay value as it works great. It's almost like acquiring a new expansion pack every time you use it.

It's full of puzzles, investigations, exploration and the supernatural but there's a lot less action in it than you would expect for an action game.

Take away the Robocop license, pop culture sound bytes and you've got a totally generic FPS on your hands that is completely forgettable.

It’s steep and it’s fast. It not only looks great but it will make your stomach feel like you’re on a elevator. The graphics are realistic, and the perspectives are virtually perfect enough to consider this game a sim.

It straddles the line between "mediocre" and "good" with an occasional spike into "brilliant."

Anything but old school. It possesses a life of its own which is altogether unique, otherworldly and strangely believable.

What this game failed to do was make me afraid of being captured. There's no real element of danger, terror or purpose.

The enemy AI just stands around and lets you pick them off as though you were choosing teams for dodge ball.

Not all of the missions are more difficult than subsequent ones, but in general the game's level of difficulty does increase exponentially when amortized over the 30-plus missions.
