A staggering achievement in video gaming -- not only building on its stunning predecessor, but actually eclipsing it.

A vile mess of the highest order, Army Men should be avoided by all but the most hardy of gaming masochists.

Not good to look at, or to listen to. But more importantly, it's not fun to play. DUD.

Marred by technical difficulties, ultimately simplistic design and a painfully complex interface, RPG Maker is less a dream come true than a nightmare that never seems to end.

With so many interesting alternatives to real life available on so many systems, why stick with one of our most repetitious and grueling sports?

Do yourself a favor -- buy a multitap, rent some friends (we find that beer works for this) and spend a night bombing the hell out of each other. Just, please, don't ride the animals.

Innovation, game play and design are blended in near-perfect measures, resulting in a game that's such a delight to play that I'm already begun working our way through it for the second time.

With plenty of features, accessible yet challenging gameplay and a solid soundtrack, Freestyle BMX is just the thing to alleviate any prolonged skateboard withdrawal.

The new shine keeps this old bird from looking too much like the geriatric (but nonetheless golden) goose it is.

More of the same, only more better.

It's not a terrible game, and if someone were trapped on a long flight with nothing but this game and a PSOne, they could do a lot worse.

May feel like last year's version, but it still offers exciting football for one and all.

A poor excuse for a videogame and an even poorer excuse for pornography.

We recommend Cataclysm for "Homeworld" fans, but if you've not played "Homeworld" yet, grab it first and play that -- it's a better game.

I'd like to know who decided to make a realtime strategy game, where some of the missions could last a solid 45 minutes to an hour, without the option to save the game.

This is the type of game that mothers hate.

So vastly improved over its predecessor that it easily wrests away the title of "Best Football Videogame of All Time" and easily scores a direct hit.

The control is so bad that it's impossible to predict how high, how fast or how far the characters are going to jump or if they're actually going to jump at all.

Easily the most straightforward and action-packed Turok yet, "Shadow of Oblivion" corrects the mistakes of previous games, making for a fun-filled and exciting journey through places not seen before in the series.

A fast and beautiful arcade racer that's thin on the single-player experience but thick with multiplayer fun.

An outstanding title that can do it all.

Everything about the game is fun and everything about the production value says quality.

Potential buyers should already know that it will involve incessant button mashing, and newcomers should be warned that, without a joystick, there's not a lot of fun to be had here.

With great gameplay comes a great game.

Of little interest to any gamer -- hardcore, half-dead or otherwise.

Despite its obvious deficiencies, from the unnecessarily irritating save system to the repetitiously moronic combat system, "Valkyrie Profile" remains an intriguing, often breathtaking roleplaying experience.

It's fair to say that the interface stands out as one of the best we've seen in years. Shame we can't say the same about the game.

With one part uninspired gameplay, a liberal dash of visuals scraped straight from the bottom of the barrel and a grossly unpolished finish, developer SandBox has crafted a monster of a game, and it's barely got teeth, much less hind legs, to stand on.
