    Silverfall
    When I first started playing, I was impressed with the game, as it seemed the first real advancement since the "Diablo" genre was created years ago. After one play-through, though, I’m done with it.

    Hans Christian Andersen: The Ugly Prince Duckling
    The contrast between the good times and the bad works well.

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

    Sam & Max Episode 104: Abe Lincoln Must Die!
    I do have to admit that this episode appeared more focused, better paced, and almost felt like it had a bit more of a challenge/content level than the previous episodes.

    Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game
    I would only recommend it to the most dedicated of adventure game fans, particularly those familiar with the previous games in the series.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Sam & Max Episode 103: The Mole, the Mob and the Meatball
    I don’t need to play the same game three times.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Sam & Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy
    Situation Comedy seems to suffer from the "more of the same" syndrome.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express (2006)
    I would only recommend this game to adventure fans that are into the Agatha Christie series of novels. However, they should prepare to be faced with repetitive and secretarial tasks.

    TrackMania United
    This, to me, is the pinnacle of arcade racing on the PC, and I honestly don’t have the interest or will to play anything else, and I doubt I can find a finer product. I think Nadeo have done what they could with the series, and other developers should take note: this is how you make a game.

    Secret Files: Tunguska
    The environments are perfect.

    Guild Wars Nightfall
    Any fan of the series, already dedicated to playing the game at least a few hours a week, will find this well worth the investment.

    Sam & Max Episode 101: Culture Shock
    I was pleased to find that SME1 contains all of the humor, atmosphere, and genuine fun of the previous game.

    Battlefield 2142
    My only issue with it, honestly, is that DICE hasn’t really made an effort to change anything substantial about the game in five years.

    Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties
    Despite the repetitiveness and other issues I think the game is probably well suited for its younger target audience. If you’re planning on purchasing this game, though, I would highly recommend either using a gamepad or simply buying the console version instead.

    DEFCON: Everybody Dies
    For me, a game needs to be well-made first, original later and Introversion have proven before that they can easily fit both in the same package. DEFCON is no exception.

    Company of Heroes
    Company of Heroes delivers on its promise of excellence. But it’s not without its downsides that I hope to make you aware of before you buy this game.

    Faces of War
    Game mechanics such as physics and cover make the multiplayer matches very addicting.

    American McGee Presents Bad Day LA
    A great game idea and an interesting story and scenario are not all that is required to make a fun game, yet that’s mostly what Bad Day LA has going for it. While McGee is absolutely worthy of the praise people heap upon him, he has allowed a game which fails to impress on nearly all levels to be released with his name on it.

    Dungeon Siege II: Broken World
    My greatest issue with the expansion: there’s very little added in the way of quests and dungeons, and not that much effort was put into making them distinctive.

    World War II Combat: Iwo Jima
    Story Background: Written during somebody’s 5 minute smoke break.

    CivCity: Rome
    The bottom line is Rome loses its fun sometime around the ten-hour mark of the campaign.

    Prey (2006)
    Prey is a good game, but I think it will underwhelm people’s expectations because those expectations were astronomically high.

    The Ship
    The needs system may very well be the make-or-break point for several players.

    Titan Quest
    Boasting over 30 hours of play time, multiple difficulty levels and an online component, Titan Quest offers enough gameplay content to make it worth a look.
    • 57 Metascore

    Moscow to Berlin: Red Siege
    Why degrade the virtual Eastern Front of WW II into less than a mediocre experience?
    • 87 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Half-Life 2: Episode One
    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.
    • 82 Metascore

    Hitman: Blood Money
    There’s very little luck to the missions, and a skilled hit man can beat any level efficiently on the very first try. Anyone up to that challenge should get this game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    SiN Episodes: Emergence
    Movement and controls seem so crisp and fluid that it just makes for an extremely enjoyable experience.
    • 80 Metascore

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
    It has morphed from a wide-open, somewhat abstract tactical simulation to a linear action game with squad elements tacked on. It's a sad symptom of a franchise that used to be focused on providing entertaining white-knuckle tactical shooters and is now focused on providing whatever sells best.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wild Earth: Photo Safari
    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.
