    It's a fun game that takes too long to get going anywhere, but its combat is so slick and refined that everything else around needs to step up to that level of quality. The universe of Diablo is most certainly destroyed, but the game is far from it.

    Even factoring in the (token) multiplayer, Rage is a brief game in a small world, with two small towns and not much else. Despite my criticisms, the fact that I really want more says that ultimately this is a pretty good game, just with much unrealized potential.

    The graphics are nice, a well-built dungeon is a sight to behold, and there's a little bit of fun here, but ultimately you'll master everything you need to know in short order and be done with this game soon afterward.

    For ten dollars, I had enough content to enjoy myself and certainly liked it more than some of the other Fallout related DLC I have completed in the past.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Effects lacked much of a punch, and a lot of the creature designs had a really generic, evil look to them. There was no personality here, and I think the direction of a serious aesthetic didn't do it any favors.

    I concede I played more than I should, enjoying the guilty pleasure.

    The total effect of the expansion pack is still positive (multiplayer is still fun; even the single-player has its uses) but there are a few worrying signs – the introduction of hero units and special abilities and the inward-looking nature of the entire game (SP as preparation for MP).

    Gameplay is pedestrian, ultimately annoying and not as replayable as a Sims title should be.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The game is really little more than a glorified browser game for which you have to shell out $6.

    If you're looking for the one expansion pack to play for Majesty 2, then this is it. But if you're tired of Majesty 2 already, picking this up isn't going to make you love it again.

    So what you are left with is a harder (more grindy) retread of something you may have played twice already before.

    Quotation forthcoming.

    The move to vibrant, fully-realized 3D hasn’t altered the formula at all.

    Guerrilla is fun, until you make a terrible discovery: it’s pretty easy.
    • 57 Metascore

    I want to recommend CrimeCraft, I really do. However, with the frustrating gameplay, graphics that seem overly dated, and the game trying to do too much without doing anything well, I seriously wonder if I wouldn't have had more fun lighting cigars with the same two twenty-dollar bills I used to pay for this game.

    The game can be fun and the game can be maddening.

    Puzzles slay the sense of urgency and tension as quickly as the killer does people.

    You really need a lot of practice in order to be good at it (multiplayer).

    Overall, I’m simply disappointed with Rockstar when it comes to Grand Theft Auto IV. PC gamers already get shafted with the slow GTA releases compared to the consoles. To have all the bugs at launch that it did makes me wonder what happened during the testing period. It’s also missing a lot of great features that were included in San Andreas.

    Oh, and if you’re wondering, I used the word “boring” 7 times throughout this review.

    Fallout 3 is just mediocre. It’s bogged down by too many problems, engine issues, and poor writing to really wrestle its way into classic status.

    The series is greater than the sum of its parts. So, consider Requiem as not a full-fledged Penumbra game but rather a small add-on that should keep you busy and humbled for a weekend.

    It’s fun, addicting, and satisfying, but nothing about 2008 Edition makes it a substantial update or upgrade.
    • 65 Metascore

    The biggest problem with this game is that there is simply way too much crap in it.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It was a fairly fun game for about the first three to four missions.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game merits a very qualified recommendation, at least for those gamers that have the patience to deal with the growing pains one often sees with an MMO. These pains are exponentially worse here, due to it being an MMO in two relatively new genres, RTS and collectible.

    The problem with Sins isn't that it begs, borrows and steals; it's that it combines everything improperly and streamlines it so much that it whittles away its own soul.

    Despite the many warts, Eschalon is not without charm, as this game would have been an award-winning achievement in 1986 or so. Everything is done well, for that era, but, much like steam locomotives, I’m just not convinced this style really works nowadays.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An addicting strategy game that I enjoyed playing once I found the cheat codes.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Overall, Agatha Christie: Evil under the Sun is definitely an improvement over the previous title in the series, albeit a slight one.
