An old-school dream. It's this type of title that makes playing games an addictive and sweat-inducing experience. Only the hardcore and mentally tough gamers need apply.

Those who loved previous Thief games will equally enjoy the latest title, though it is by no means innovative.

Despite a few minor hiccups (and I truly do mean minor), this is hands down the best tactical RPG I have ever played.

My eyes hurt, it's so beautiful. Microsoft ups the ante with the follow-up to its original RalliSport Challenge with more tracks, more cars, and more polygons. Way, WAY more polygons.

It has all the elements needed in a movie-based video game, and in some aspects even goes above and beyond that. However, the lasting appeal of the game leaves a lot to be desired. If they had just thrown in another gameplay mode, this game could have been spectacular.

Essentially, if you liked the gameplay and subject matter of its predecessor, you’ll enjoy Hitman: Contracts all the more. If violence and suspense aren’t your style, you’d best look elsewhere.

At 8 to 10 hours of game play, it won’t be the toughest challenge on the market, but it’s one of the best television/movie to video game adaptations you will find on the market.

The Cube version lacks innovation, is disappointing and is almost a complete copy of the GBA version.

It's a great simulation, with excellent training and a developed career mode.

The real draw is online play, and friends will have a blast ramming each other into the walls.

It is so involving and addictive that perhaps Sony and Square Enix should consider putting a warning label on the box, something like “Caution: life altering game contained within”.

The true beauty of this experience is on two fronts. First off, the sessions are much longer than what you see in normal online games. Trust me when I tell you that the 30 second "Counter Strike" rounds that some of you are used to will play no part in this game.

Acclaim doesn’t exactly hit one out of the ballpark, but legging out a triple in a crowded market ain’t too bad.

If you are a fan of the Worms series, then by all means pick this one up. You will love it. If you are new to the Worms series, you might want to try one of the 2d ones first.

Activision still has some issues to iron out with this series, but die-hard stealth fans will get a solid challenge and several hours of fun game play.

While there certainly are a lot of things that could have been done better with the Xbox version of Mafia, it still remains an enjoyable game.

The production values, the nuances in game play and the re-playability will keep you addicted well into the Fall and beyond.

An amazing remake of a contemporary classic! Gamers who missed it the first time around owe it to themselves to play.

Minus the online racing, Colin McRae 04 is a flawless video game replication of rally racing. The graphics, car physics and attention to detail are on par with any console racer currently on store shelves.

Hands down the first great action title of 2004. The game will punish you with difficulty, but will keep you hooked with gorgeous eye candy, stellar and smooth game play.

A good motocross game that qualifies as a rental for everyone, and a purchase for those that truly love the sport of dirt bike racing.

Fans of the cartoon will probably enjoy this short romp with Mystery Inc. as will young children. Cynical adults and those with a distinct aversion to laugh tracks should stay far away.

A great little platforming adventure that is humorous, well crafted and bubbling with personality.

While it does have its share of bugs and bad points, overall this game is well worth buying if you enjoy the genre. The multitude of items and armors keep things interesting, while socketed items and armor take customization to higher levels.

It is a modern classic in every sense of the term, transcending the boundaries of film and interactive gaming.

It's unlike anything you have ever played before. It's simply amazing. If you have a Game Boy Advance and consider yourself even somewhat of a gamer, go and do yourself a favor. Go out NOW and buy this game. You'll thank me later.

An entertaining, albeit unoriginal Zelda title that fails to be revolutionary yet still has the classic gameplay elements that make the series so great.
