I'm surprised and saddened that this was outdone by a two-year-old game. EA's trying some new things here, but they don't quite work yet.

If you wished the Xbox had a "God of War" to call its own, then Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks should be your cup of tea.

Even with the lack of options, NHRA Championship Drag Racing is still the most in-depth drag-racing simulation ever released for a console.

A great game to be sure, but somehow not as good as last year's outing.

Play the earlier games, as this one's a huge letdown.

If you're jonesing for some Hockey action, EA's NHL 06 is well worth checking into. If you prefer a style of play more akin to the stuff we saw back in the SEGA Genesis days, this is your game. Less complexity - more fun.

A must have for King of Fighters fans, if they don't already have the games in another form.

What World Series of Poker is supposed to do, it does very well. Just don't go into it expecting any bells or whistles.

NASCAR junkies no longer have to live vicariously through the TV, because NASCAR 06: Total Team Control darn near puts them in the driver’s seat themselves.

It might not have a shiny package, but it's everything we loved about the arcade.

A revolutionary dancing game, but it’s certainly an evolution of the genre in its dance pad orientation and addition of a center button.

Straight outta' crap-ton.

Looks pretty good, but it tends to get tiresome after a few hours.

Unless you are a die-hard fan of the series, there isn't enough game here to justify a purchase.

Quite a fun game, once it gets up and going.

Madden NFL 06 is still an outstanding game, but EA needs to re-think the reality and practicality of its Superstar mode, and it has plenty of work to do to make QB Vision both effective and enjoyable.

Multiple single player difficulty modes and tons of multiplayer options ensure you'll get your $30 worth.

All around good stuff, worth putting on those worn out virtual combat boots for again.

Forget that it’s the only college football game for a minute and just bask in the glory of a well-executed title.

Plenty of fun, but you're better off waiting for them to become freebies.

I'm being generous with the 3. That tells you how bad this is.

Serviceable but stale, the King of Fighters is quickly losing his reign.

If you love arcade style racing, you’ll love MC3.
