A good game. Real-time fans may like it, and turn-based gamers will like it. And no one will deny that it is unique. If you're a big fan of the series, this fourth installment is a must-buy.

The new game offers impressive graphics mixed with familiar gameplay for a conservative sequel that does the series proud.

By delivering awesome graphics and intense, fright-filled gameplay, RE2 makes for a scary romp you won't want to miss.

While it's certainly not a revolutionary offering, NFL Blitz 2001 contains a nice variety of gameplay modes and exhaustive editing features that should keep fans of frenetic arcade football happy.

Anyone with the slightest interest in historical-strategy gaming will love this title.

Maxis packs in just enough to make this a must-have for fans and newcomers alike.

Like all Psygnosis games, Rollcage Stage II is full of eye candy, with flashy graphics and colorful decor up the wazoo.

This year's game has excellent graphics, a great frame rate, fluid gameplay, and plenty of new features.

Dreamcast's affordable version of "Bust-A-Move 4" pushes the already great puzzle game to new heights.

Despite the fact that the control interface will do a number on your fingers and forearms, this game gets a gold medal for capturing the Olympic action with its combination of frenetic gameplay and excellent graphics.

A typical EX game: solid, a bit boring, and uninspired. It lacks the key elements--great graphics, tight gameplay, and personality in its game design--that give the 2D Street Fighter games their appeal.

With controls that improve on the PSX version, tight graphics, more than ten levels, and plenty of lightsaber action, Jedi Power Battles has achieved Jedi Master status.

A fun game, if you can get over the poor multiplayer support and buy yourself a USB-compatible keyboard and mouse.

There's some fun to be had with the game, and if you're looking for updated rosters and stats this is a must-buy, but don't expect anything revolutionary.

A fine example of arcade-flavored supercross action done right.

It still feels like a "Civilization II" knockoff at times, rather than its own game. As such, it should pacify fans until "Civ III" comes out.

The Bowl selection in GameBreaker is nowhere near as authentic as it is in EA Sports' title (which means no Orange, Fiesta, or Sugar Bowls), you won't find the official BCS ranking poll, and you won't find a situation creator.

A great addition to Impressions' city-building series,"Cleopatra" is a must-have for Pharaoh freaks.

There are about 15 hours of actual gameplay, and about 5 more hours if you want to pick up all the extra goodies along the way. Still, before you know it, you've finished the game.

There is unquestionably some fun to be had in Spawn, but control and camera issues keep the game from realizing its full potential.

The undersea environment it uses is appealing and fun to explore, especially since the open maps of the game facilitate fairly nonlinear exploration.

Aside from the fact that Invasion feels less like a Star Trek title than it does a "Colony Wars" update, it delivers the goods for a shooter: fast, furious, and addictive action.

Definitely more interesting than most third-person action games, though it's hindered by a variety of interface problems.

Where this game excels, though, is the fast, fluid gameplay and the tight controls, which thankfully weren't changed, and which are enhanced by the analog controller.

Even though the lack of gun support takes away some of the appeal, Konami has done a commendable job of bringing the coin-op experience home.

A beautiful game that comes close to "classic" status, but doesn't quite deliver.

The players look and sound cartoony, with gigantic quadriceps and incredibly deep voices.

A solid retro title -- it's over quickly, and the graphics are rough, but the gameplay triumphs.
