It's easily the best single player PC RPG this year with one of the most engaging atmospheres you will find in any game.

The combat system, while boring at first, became much more appreciable once your party begins to grow in size.

This game contains more explosions than any game I can remember playing in recent history.

Reality 2.0 is easily the best of the episodes released to date.

This is an amazingly strong start to the second season.

Evolution is a great moniker as this game has helped evolve the traditional adventure gaming genre entirely.

Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis has its share of faults, but overall it’s a solid game in the adventure genre. The characters and setting are very believable, the story of the hunt for Lupin is compelling, and the puzzles are challenging.

Fast-paced as it may be, the fighting in Empire is not exactly cerebral.

Despite some graphical setbacks, Singularity overcomes its inadequacies to present a solid and worthwhile experience for fans of story-driven gaming.

A good example that games with forgettable stories and acting are still worth playing. Rich storytelling is always welcome and I’d love to see more of it, but these are games after all and playability is a lot more important.

Graphics are easily the standout element in Trine.

The game weaves a great yarn, full of mystery, surprises, and developments that will keep you drawn to the monitor.

Mirror’s Edge delightfully tickled my auditory senses.

This is a game that does hack and slash real justice and it’s a the perfect choice for those eagerly waiting the release of Diablo 3.

It’s a game that’s springing leaks in every conceivable layer of its design, but it somehow sails on.

The learning curve gets steep rather quickly and some of the levels will require ridiculously good timing in order to advance. In fact, the difficulty swings back and forth so often that it almost feels like two separate games.

Still, when distilled down to its core, I did enjoy Awakening a little bit more than I did Origins.

Clocking in at around 10 hours, Hell’s Highway provides tons of drama but brings with it some new gameplay elements that don’t mesh with the series philosophy.

Half-Life 2: Episode One is a more than worthy successor to Half-Life 2, as it kept all of the latter’s strengths, and even added some more, such as HDR and far improved character interaction and plot density. The problem is, it hasn’t nearly the same bang for the buck – lacking length and new multiplayer features.

Even though it is better looking and easier to grasp than any flight sim to date, X-Plane feels unfinished. Serious fans of flight sims will enjoy X-Plane, while casual fans may want to wait for a more streamlined interface, hopefully in "X-Plane 9."

A polished shooter that breaks the here-to-fore insipid mold of movie-inspired games. It is fun and immersive, but does feel a bit lacking. EBB does not have the addictive quality of many of its FPS brethren.

Tropico 3 is not only a faithful adaptation of a classic idea, it’s also the best game Haemimont has ever made.

Even a child not old enough to read can still play this, as the most crucial instructions are given verbally (with text reminders onscreen). The game is legitimately fun, gives real animal knowledge (unlike say, the pseudo-animal knowledge of Pokemon), there’s plenty to like, and absolutely nothing objectionable, and very few games fit that bill today.

The textures and models are very nicely done as it puts and molds you into a realistic distant future type period.

This game does nothing to besmirch the Godfather’s impressive legacy – in fact, its use of the license is arguably its greatest strength.

It's hard to tell how it'll pan out over the years, but right now, this is a great game burdened with new, confused players, technical problems, and a lack of information as to how to be effective on the field. It's a Battlefield game alright, but it's going to need some time and work before it becomes a worthy time sink.

Awesomely detailed graphics.

The Music that runs off the Blue-Shift CD. It kicks in at the worst times, and resembles circus music.
