    The potential was there, and it could have done so much more.

    Fans of mech titles, and specifically the building simulation aspect of mech titles, should rejoice, as this is an amazing and full-featured game.

    Chess-nerds, rejoice! The game that beat Gary Kasparov is back and it knows the game a whole lot better than you ever will!

    The character models are close to the same level of detail as the PS2 version, but unfortunately, the PSP version suffers from a shakier framerate than PS2’s version.

    Personally, I think 80 Days would have benefited from an extended beta-testing period. This would have definitely made them change the save system, and it would have probably removed most of the bugs too.

    For the most part Pinball Hall of Fame is a worthy purchase for any fan of classic games or for parents looking for a “safe” game for their kids.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    The combat engine, once you experiment around enough to figure it out, isn’t that bad; what is bad is that you’re typically alone and grossly outnumbered.

    The original Animal Crossing was touted as a game about social interactivity, but Animal Crossing: Wild World is even moreso.

    While many were worried about this iteration changing the spirit of the title so much like with Warrior Within, it instead manages to take the best bits of both and create a wonderful hybrid.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This game should please fans of the series (especially those that disliked the changes made in the second game), but it won't thrill them.

    It takes something special for a game to stand out from the group, and sadly Legion Arena fails to do this.

    All told, the game's atmosphere is so bad I'd almost be tempted to suspect this game was a parody, if the gameplay wasn't also bad enough to match.

    King Kong is one of the better action games you can buy.

    College Hoops 2K6 is does almost everything well, providing a high-maintenance Legacy mode for the sim-obsessed and a sturdy online mode for those who just want to rip up the courts with their favorite college team.
    • 71 Metascore

    There's something strangely narcissistic about games starring musicians as themselves.

    Quake IV won’t be one of those that will stand out over the years to come as one of the great achievements in the genre, or even on the Xbox 360.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is a fantastic, must-have first-person shooter.

    This puppy is high maintenence and he doesn't like to play.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Earth 2160 is a display of both good and evil; with its great graphics and its awful voice-overs.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A good game with several hours of gameplay and a great way to show off your fancy HDTV.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There really isn't much reason to take part in 2K's hockey experience on the Xbox 360.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The game does have some endearing visuals that manage to put a funny spin on rather grim material.
    • 45 Metascore

    Someday, Sega might actually do Sonic right in 3D, but at the moment, this is the worst attempt yet.
    • 82 Metascore

    One of the few DS games that not only takes advantage of the platform but doesn’t try to shoehorn in use of every feature as well as having great gameplay.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Avoid this game at all costs, it isn't worth your time, nor anyone else's. This is what happens when publishers push a game through in order to meet the holiday sales rush.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Absolutely not a title I would recommend to any kid already playing other platformers like Mario, Ratchet and Clank, or Sly Cooper.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Has a lot going for it, especially in the graphical department. Unfortunately, gameplay issues sap most of the fun out of the game.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    An ambitious attempt at an addictive game, and meets expectations more times than not.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire delivers the expected “you’ve seen the movie, now play it” goods, though tedious collection quests and a dearth of fresh material that goes beyond the movie storyline will limit the game’s appeal to the teen-and-up audience.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The AI has no qualms with calling you on your bluffs and aggressively checking, creating a believable experience that is fresh and unique each play.

    Gun
    Gun is intense and packed with violence and action, but it is extremely brief and tends to overdose on the M-rated excesses.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Despite the good attempt, WCP2 is nothing compared to real-life poker.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Maybe for the casual gamer who likes to spend their Saturday mornings doing firearms drills on the front lawn.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Get more friends, get more controllers, get Red Hot Rumble. In that order only.

    Kameo is absolutely beautiful, and it's a decent game, too.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It actually plunges past mediocrity into outright craptitude.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Better than Finest Hour, but still not where it needs to be.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This title seems to bluntly and directly prey on young girls' naiveté and lack of experience… and their obsession with hair…
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a game that caters for all players; from war enthusiasts to war-hating vegetarians.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A technically accomplished and truly involving first-person shooter.
    • 83 Metascore

    Gunstar Super Heroes is a wonderful game and deserves, nay, needs, to be in anyone's GBA collection.

    Who should get this game? Well, if your kid is absolutely in love with the cartoon, and keeps yelping "Kong, king of Atlantis!" at the top of his lungs, I'd imagine your only solutions would be to buy this game or get the kid in therapy, and the game is cheaper than therapy.

    If you're a fan of hack-n-slash button-mashing in your RPGs, Shining Force Neo offers a load of challenge and a long campaign.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Doesn't provide much more in the way of improving upon the original formula, and manages to totally demolish the fantastic enemy AI on the trip over to Sony's console.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The structure outside the battlefield, like the country it portrays, is broken. Shattered, if you will.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    The general spiritual themes of the first game are expanded on from the word, “Go,” here.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's like Vegas without the money and excitement and shiny things.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Casual fans of the genre may want to think twice about the work that will be needed to create a game.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The new content alone more than makes it a worthy purchase even for those who have played the original release. A year on, Ninja Gaiden is still an extraordinary game. Game of the Year? Insulting. Game of the Generation.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The combination of an RPG and a side-scrolling shooter isn't a bad one, but constantly switching between them so constantly makes for too much of a jarring experience.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Darwinia is certainly “unique” and “original”. It’s a shame it’s not very “fun”.
    • 59 Metascore

    Shot-Online is a good golf game that isn’t the traditional PGA style “step into the shoes of a pro” but instead gives players a way to act out how golf is in the real world – filled with people who want to play against you.

    Dangerous Waters plays to a small audience, the war sim market… but delivers the goods!

    I love you, Bethesda. I eagerly await Elder Scrolls 4 and Call of Cthulu. Marry me.

    Kursk is fine, but not stellar. If you are looking for more tanks and huge... slow levels this is probably for you. But I would probably avoid it.

    If you loved "Myst," you will love this. Prepare to get addicted.

    If Coffee Tycoon were a beverage, it would taste worse than cold coffee with a shot of urine in it. Try Lemonade Tycoon 2: New York Edition for a much more pleasant beverage-tycoon gaming experience.

    The graphics are simple, clear and bright, just the way you would want a puzzle game of this sort to be.
