A beautiful game full of memorable moments, suffering only from a clumsy attempt to mimic the writing style of old detective novels.

Good, and worth the time of BattleTech fans, but unless Microsoft fixes the performance issues it will never be a great game.

More control of your units is necessary for a strategy title, and more impressive graphics and more complex tasks are important for a city builder. As it stands, this game gets neither right and has little to offer aside from a great concept.

With a better interface and a more explicit manual, The Corporate Machine would be one of those thankfully rare and accessible strategy games that you can't tear yourself away from.

The perfect arcade classic package for hardcore retro gamers, parents looking for something simpler and less disturbing for kids and, of course, thirty-somethings looking to recapture a little of their past glory.

It's so deep that is simulates nearly every facet of college football, right down to telling you whether a player has a girlfriend or not.

Offers entertaining and strategically larcenous gameplay with a fun sense of humor.

A perfect launching point for anyone new to the series, but it simply isn't worth the steep $30 price tag for anyone who already owns "Starfleet Command Volume II."

Brief moments of brilliance speak of the fantastic game that Anachronox could have been, but it never quite makes it up to anything more than slightly above average.

You're really getting an amazingly reworked masterpiece and not just "a few more levels."

It features great graphics, a slightly modified version of "EverQuest's" gameplay model, and lots of frustrating problems. True to its theme, you should only consider playing it in the future.

Though none of Poseidon's new features changes Zeus' core gameplay in any meaningful way, there is an awful lot of new content here.

The difficulty is mostly artificial—each mission has an arbitrary time limit—but despite this, the missions are oddly... entertaining.

A feeling of been there, done that, with some poor game design choices that limit the fun.

Quite simply, this is a game that just doesn't work.

It's about as thrilling as watching The English Patient on Valium.

If you found the original game lacking, this add-on isn't going to change your mind.

Drop-dead gorgeous graphics, excellent story, talented actors, brilliant orchestral score.

Provided you keep the sound on mute, pump up the resolution, and have a few hours to spare, this is decent down-home motor madness, served the finger lickin' way.

Fans might—or should—expect something more than a six year old DOS to Windows port with a few extras.

All the complexity and depth of a frying pan.

In the end, the thing you remember most isn't the graphics engine, the nifty spell and item construction, or even the awful voice acting; it's the frustration of slogging through a poorly balanced game that substitutes saving and reloading for gameplay.

What sets Cossacks apart from other games is its spectacular visuals and its attention to historical detail.

It's the perfect game to sit down with for a couple of hours, with a margarita in one hand and the mouse in the other, and just tinker with your whacked-out island.

Geared toward hardcore baseball fans, but it fails to relay some of the information that many serious fans want.

Provides a justification for buying a Pentium V; the best of its genre.

On the whole, Evil Dead isn't horrifically bad—just surprisingly limp-wristed.

Despite the amount of promise left unfulfilled in this second add-on, House Party will be a welcome addition if you are still actively nurturing your sims.
