    While the game is visually stunning, the gameplay and sound really bring Black & Bruised down for the count.

    While Enter the Matrix ties in really well with the movie franchise, it isn't much of a game.

    The coolest new addition to GameDay is the voice-recognition features. Those of you who bought SOCOM: US Navy Seals, and have the VR headset will be able to call your plays, send men in motion, and even hike the ball.

    The biggest problem I ran into was the AI of my bus drivers. These guys are important as they ferry customers in and out of the park, as well as to the dinosaur areas. It seemed as if I hired 4-year-olds to drive the buses.

    While it does retail for 10 bucks less than most other brand new games, marketing a 5 year old game for 40 bucks is still ridiculous.

    Quite simply, the game offers nothing that you can’t get in the other games, and can’t have a better time getting in the other games.

    The game does suffer from a bit of a slowdown when there are numerous zombies on-screen.

    While the game runs well, there is little intensity to push the envelope. So much has changed since these games came out, and it just doesn’t seem nearly as exciting or intense.

    The best fighting game currently out for the Xbox.

    I wish Grave was faster, had some cooler dodge moves, and the game played faster. So much style has all been squandered on a game that just doesn’t seem that fun to play after the first hour or so.

    If you can look past some horrendous voice acting, you might be satisfied with the music and sound effects in the game. I personally couldn’t get past the voice acting and how it hurt the plot.

    The lack of gameplay ingenuity, long load times and crappy graphics will turn most off. But Simpsons fans will love the game anyway.

    The concept is well and good, and works well – except for the fact that you still must slow down to use Knuckles and Tails (or the equivalent member in one of the three other teams in the game). These are the moments that the game truly lags, and once again the shoddy camera has come back to once again make the game a pain.

    Sure, it could have been a bit better, but if you're looking for a fun action game that doesn't require a ton of thought, you'll have a good time with this.

    One thing that Mace Griffin has going for it is its graphics. The real-time lighting on weapons and animations are just awesome.

    That's the big thing this title has going for it. It's fun to experience this amazing world, and if there was something focused on during the game design it was making sure that the world was a good place to go play in.

    Furious Karting isn’t that furious, or really that extreme to me.

    Feels like it's just a block of jello. It could have been molded into something new, but instead, Capcom just left it as is, a block. It's uninspired, generic, and there is no reason to play it.

    My other complaint is that the environments aren’t very interactive. There is a giant amusement park that you can’t really do too much to.

    It's not terrible, but it's flawed. It just doesn't do a good job with recreating the pinball experience, or really a good Mario experience.

    As whole, things like the fine tuning of the free throw shooting and shooting just don’t quite compare to some of the other games that will be released over the next couple of weeks. It’s a shame really, but ShootOut doesn’t play as well as the competitors.

    A pretty rock-hard game. While it is somewhat short, the game is action packed and the three-form combat modes add a lot to the game.

    Fans of the game series will feel right at home, as will fans of the show. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem much was added since the last game.

    The one point of Magna Cum Laude that stands out is the fairly hysterical humor of the game. Borrowing pages from movies such as "Animal House," Magna Cum Laude has some of the funniest lines ever uttered in a video game. The characters and the dialog bring unprecedented humor to the consoles.

    The dance pad support might make for a fun party-game right now while the games are on, but then you also must realize that as far as dance pad games though, this doesn’t even hold a camera to Dance Dance Revolution itself.

    Some steps in the right direction have been made, and with a little refining, the 2005 version should be competitive. Still, you probably will prefer "NCAA Football" over this.

    I can't say the controls are all that precise. While the controls are designed for anyone to pick them up and play (unlike some flight sims where you need to look at a manual before you turn your plane to starboard), they just don't have a good feel to them.

    It’s one of the hardest 2D platformers this side of "Viewtiful Joe" and while the game seems slightly short, it takes quite a while to play through it successfully.
