At the end of the day, Ring of Fates is an entertaining multiplayer game that also houses a somewhat entertaining single player mode. The multiplayer mode though, seriously, that's where the fun is.

Frogger is still charming and still gives you that queasy nervous feeling when you suddenly realize how much of a challenge it is you're eventually facing.

A fantastic multiplayer experience, though the necessary hardware requirements and rather clunky interface make it a title that may put some people off.

USM is a fantastic rental, but it doesn't really have the long-term appeal to warrant a purchase.

Those who stick with the clunky interface and difficult scripting options will be able to pull off some truly incredible pieces of work.

Nintendogs offers up unconventional gameplay, adorable puppies, and might just bring out the obsessive compulsive behaviors you never knew you had.

Point Blank DS is a lot of fun while it lasts. The stylus does a fantastic job in terms of being a light gun, though you need to be spot on with your precision in order to eliminate targets, a fact that can get annoying on occasion.

The action may grow somewhat trite and drawn out and the whole "someone looted me while I was passed out" aspect kind of sucks, but the attention to old school detail and gameplay really packs a mean wallop and the localization is incredibly amusing and fun.

Fans of "Morrowind" will be interested immediately, since the essential style of the game is very similar, but the game offers up less depth than "Morrowind" in many ways and is far less open ended.

The engine is solid, the graphics are great, the AI is smart, but there are too many things about it that work against it and oftentimes these problems are simply based on the fact that it is too similar to other games in the genre.

While so much has been improved over DW, it's not all roses and sunshine. SW still suffers from some fundamental problems handed down from the game's lineage.

Even though it takes place in Liberty City and bridges together many of the events in the other titles, you can't help but feel that there's something missing. Amidst all those drive-bys, crazy women, prostitutes and shady business, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories has somehow lost it's soul.

The first Drakengard recieved a cult following more on story than anything else and the tradition continues with D2. Featuring some very dark and mature themes that are even a bit disturbing at times.

What I will say is this: When the RPG bug hits me, I always seem to stumble over the very game I need to satisfy the itch. Luminous Arc is my bug spray. Do yourselves a favor. Take off the elitist crown, get off your throne of indifference and play this game. You may actually surprise yourself and have fun.

While the vehicle missions are simply an incredible experience, the on-foot platform missions leave quite a lot to be desired.

This game delivers a quick fix to any WH40K player that doesn't have the time to lay an army on the table and play.

An inventive and completely amusing massively multiplayer role-playing game that incorporates elements of traditional MMOs with the vehicular combat seen in games like "Twisted Metal."

I would have personally liked to have seen the game go out with more of a bang… at least in some changes to the overall mechanics and game engine, but I suppose that in some way we need to respect the fact that it was really all about the story.

The game is enjoyable, but does suffer from being a little slow at times. Even so, the controls are fantastic, the stories are nothing short of gut busting, and the two player modes are done well.

Get one thing straight, people. This game is about the skating, period. If you can't walk away from this title with a plethora of tricks under your spiked belt, then you obviously didn't try hard enough, you poseur.

While the gameplay is fairly entertaining, and the environments and effects are quite nice, the game starts to chug when too much is going on, and the so-so sound and menial menus will have you feeling that the game is lacking a certain amount of polish.

It also seems that I keep doing the same thing over and over every day. Enter this building, hide behind that barrel and shoot that scumbag.

The simple lack of camera control during 3D levels, the rather unimaginative level designs, the sometimes annoying lock-on system (that Axl uses) are all factors in the game that simply drag it down.

The game may suffer from many problems, but these problems are more than made up for in terms of story and design.

While perhaps not as deep as "Civilization," the game still manages to entertain you and keep your interests high.

The controls are very tight, the modes are amusing and the game itself is quite varied. However, the somewhat tedious graphics and lackluster multiplayer are a bit of a turnoff.

First of all, the overall length of the game is quite low and the fact that you can’t really die doesn’t help in this respect. Secondly, the action within the game is unbelievably redundant.

I think a more diverse selection of games would have helped add to the longevity of the title, but it's fun enough to keep a child occupied and the lesson to be learned in the game, as well as the well implemented controls, serve to make this a very desirable game for younger kids.
