Hall of Fame was released for the major console systems in 2004, but this PSP port comes with extra tables, all presented as virtuoso 3D recreations, fully playable from your choice of six camera views that can easily be switched on the fly. [Mar 2006, p.91]- Computer Games Magazine

Battles are visceral and exciting in ways that may surprise gamers who haven’t really experienced quality turn-based tactics. [Mar 2006, p.61]- Computer Games Magazine

Wild World is more of an expansion than a sequel. The DS version adds online play and a camera that follows you instead of one that shifts from screen to screen. [Mar 2006, p.89]- Computer Games Magazine

It's less punishing than "1503 A.D." and not as insufferably cute as "The Settlers." It has none of the depth of "Children of the Nile" or its Impressions predecessors. And it's as mildly entertaining and ultimately forgettable as it sounds. [Feb 2005, p.71]- Computer Games Magazine

- Critic Score
Despite the superficial resemblance to “Rome: Total War”, Legion Arena is just the latest 3D version of the same simple wargame the developer has been peddling for a while. [Mar 2006, p.55]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
A series of fantastic moments dragged down by a lot of incredibly dull, repetitive, and contrived ones. [Feb 2006, p.68]- Computer Games Magazine

While most games have you fighting zombies, this one puts you squarely in the rotting feet of one Edward Stubblefield, who one day finds himself slightly undead. [Mar 2006, p.53]- Computer Games Magazine

What Special Forces lacks in innovation, it more than makes up for in new maps. [Mar 2006, p.50]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
A game that solidly hits its clone-ish objectives but seldom elevates itself to anything more than a fun-and-frantic, click-y time killer. [Feb 2006, p.65]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The only thing separating it from, say, another dystopian gadget-heavy sci-fi shooter like "Project: Snowblind" is the marketing budget. [Feb 2006, p.85]- Computer Games Magazine

Unlike its PC counterpart America's Army also serves up some excellent single-player missions. [Feb 2006, p.88]- Computer Games Magazine

It never goes beyond being just another real-time strategy game. [Feb 2006, p.63]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The combination of slow pacing and boring, nondescript environments makes for too many dull stretches. [Feb 2006, p.86]- Computer Games Magazine

The developers at Bizarre Creations have made a beautiful thing, but they've given you no reason to enjoy it. [Feb 2006, p.87]- Computer Games Magazine

A pretty bad role-playing game published here in the states by folks who should know better. [Feb 2006, p.92]- Computer Games Magazine

Amped 3 aims to keep you distracted by constantly nickel-and-diming you with a hundred mini-challenges, each with its own pointless reward, spread across a dozen mountainsides. [Feb 2006, p.87]- Computer Games Magazine

In lieu of interesting situations, tactics, thrills, or simple variety, Starship Troopers coughs up a big greasy hairball of run-right-at-you enemies that never stop coming. [Mar 2006, p.55]- Computer Games Magazine

It's a cute idea in the age of SARS and avian bird flu, but the real draw is the Petit-Guinol gore. [Feb 2006, p.93]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
It’s this emphasis on 3D exploration, as well as older style of gameplay, that might recommend the game to PC RPG folk, assuming they can get past the heavy-duty anime aesthetic. [Mar 2006, p.86]- Computer Games Magazine

While Most Wanted occasionally shows signs of screwing up the balance and flying off the road, it generally rights itself before it spins out of control. [Mar 2006, p.64]- Computer Games Magazine

If you sometimes had the feeling that less is more while playing "San Andreas," you'll be convinced by this game at nearly every turn. [Feb 2006, p.92]- Computer Games Magazine

There's not much here that's more challenging than slicking your hair into a Pierce Brosnan pompadour. [Feb 2006, p.93]- Computer Games Magazine

For any fan of racing and/or handheld games, this is a perfectly laidback combination of user friendly racing and noncommittal handheld gaming. [Mar 2006, p.93]- Computer Games Magazine

The most maddeningly convoluted gaming experience this side of Derek Smart. [Feb 2006, p.67]- Computer Games Magazine
