Despite its flaws, serious Quake III fans will want to snatch this up right away.

There is nothing here you haven't seen before.

A better-than-average RTS game with some compelling elements, marred by multiplayer game balance issues and a sometimes dull single-player game.

The problem here is that there are better, more original and inventive party games out there; Crash Bash fails to do anything to put itself ahead of Nintendo's "Mario Party" series, or even match it.

A straight-up old-school space shooter dressed to kill.

Enough playability, weirdness, gameplay variety, and levels to make it worth a look if you want something that won't break your bank.

Tense missions coupled with bug-bashing fun make this one of the better strategy games we've seen this year, though it won't appeal much to gamers who aren't fans of the book or movie.

While Chicken Run isn't an exceptionally awful game, it reeks of unfulfilled potential, most notably in the gameplay, which is highly monotonous and downright frustrating.

A good example of an arcade boxer done right, thanks to its wealth of gameplay modes, exhaustive list of fighters, and wildly fun, over-the-top gameplay.

DreamCatcher's game basically consists of one man leisurely fumbling through a series of Myst-like tasks while Dracula hangs out on the sidelines.

The tight handling we grew accustomed to in Vigilante 8 is nowhere to be found. Instead of having massive tires to keep you on the road, you have to deal with unruly floating vehicles that glide all over the place; turning and weaving in and out of tight spaces can prove difficult.

It's a beautiful looking piece of work, even if there is a modicum of slowdown from time to time due to the sheer amount of traffic on the screen.

This mid-season replacement, though not without its occasional highlights, misfires far too often to run in the same league as its predecessor.

It'd take a miracle to thaw this one out.

Too difficult for all but the most dedicated creators, and even they may find themselves frustrated by the program's constraints.

Aside from lacking an overall slick visual polish, NASCAR 2001 is everything racing fanatics could want, thanks to its huge list of licensed drivers, cars, and tracks, and its intense gameplay.

An interesting take on the classic game and a must-have for fans of the original.

Only those who have rhythm and coordination and don't mind acting a little silly will truly enjoy this game.

Offers solid arcade gameplay, but it lacks the depth of the made-for-console wrestling games.

Most gamers will enjoy the game's straightforward approach, and there is plenty for hard-core fans to sink their teeth into.

Combining tried-and-true platformer elements that make platform games great with an awesome graphics engine and humorous, endearing characters, The Emperor's New Groove guarantees fun for all ages.

Even though the multiplayer games offer a bit of fun for a few hours (blowing your friends up is always entertaining), WDL falls short of our expectations by failing to deliver the kind of unadulterated explosive combat we had hoped for.

Although the game may look like a kids' title, Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers has enough depth and challenge to keep even the most seasoned gamer busy.

Although Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers has a lot of good things going for it, such as well-designed levels, tight graphics, and responsive controls, it falls short of being a great platform game due to its hard boss encounters, poor camera angles, and brief adventure.

An entertaining golfing exercise with several unique features and the most intriguing lineup of single- and multiplayer game modes in the business. But it also feels rough and incomplete in its current state.

You don't have to be a pre-teen or Chip 'n Dale groupie to enjoy "Magical Racing Tour," but it sure does help.

A good first effort, but it's too derivative of Half-Life in many spots, and it lacks focus and polish.

Solid, fun to play, and irritatingly addictive.
