    While the concept is a good one--it's really cool to build up a little squadron of Naboo Starfighters--it doesn't really work in the 2D, sprite-based AoE engine. For example, after your TIE Fighters streak to their waypoint, they simply hang in the air, awaiting your next mouse-click.

    An improvement on nearly every level.

    I'd say this is better than "Sim Theme Park," and worth getting, but if you've already got "Sim Theme Park," you'll probably wonder where the fresh meat is.

    If you've already got last year's Bomberman Tournament for GBA, you probably don't need this one as well, unless you're a Bomberman freak.

    While the PC version of Jedi Outcast blows the GameCube version out of the water, this is still a very good shooter with a lot to offer Nintendophiles, despite the disappointments.

    For fans of the Transformers license, this game has lots of cool extras to help disguise the fact that it’s really just an average action game.

    The sprawling environments are the game's strongest points and greatest weaknesses---it's terrific to run down the stairs in Andy's living room, or go sliding around on zip-wires in the basement, or flying through the air with the help of a reclining chair launch-mechanism...but at the same time, there seems to be an uninspiring deadness to the world around you; it simply isn't interactive enough.

    It sounds totally weird on paper, but as soon as I tried it, I found it grew on me really quickly. Give it a try, and see if it charms your frog costume off too.

    Through no fault of the developers, some of the physics of riding a bike (as opposed to a skateboard) make this game less fun than playing the Tony Hawk series. Think about it, a skateboard can go both ways, a bike cannot.

    For right now I would only recommend a purchase to somebody who doesn’t become easily bored by the same course over and over again.

    If you are more interested in a game that looks great and has easy controls and simplified gameplay, then Triple Play Baseball is the right title for you.

    The game world doesn't provide quite enough in the way of possible control schemes, so you're left with an awkward one no matter which you choose.

    Bloodier dustups there are, and faster moving ones too, yet for those who like their streetfighting with style, UFC Tapout hits harder than a bare-knuckle jab to the kidney.

    Reminds me a lot of those so-called summer blockbusters. The game itself isn’t that bad, but it just can’t live up to the hype surrounding it.

    It will also rekindle a desire in every pen and paper gamer to call up some friends, blow the dust of their D20s and return to the roots of role-playing gaming.

    A deep, intense, and well-written space combat simulator, but more implementation masks many of these good traits and can frustrate all but the serious gamer.

    The numerous engine tweaks, the engaging new story and the insane challenge of the Heart of Fury mode make HOW a very appealing expansion.

    If you're a fan of action games and don't mind a dense storyline and some hunt and peck adventure-style clicking, you'll get a thrill or two out of Headhunter.

    A really good example of real time strategy. Maybe the best, but it didn’t do anything to revive my interest in a tired genre.

    There's nothing remarkably groundbreaking, but it is a good game overall. One problem however is that this game is replete with glitches.

    While not quite as big as "Baldur's Gate II," this game is considerably large, totalling about 100 hours of the single-player gameplay.

    I love the fact that the game's exploration is open-ended.

    If you like swordplay, if you like good story, if you like Asian ambiance, you'll like The Way of the Samurai.

    It is considerably more challenging than the first at many points, yet it doesn’t have quite the polish of the original.

    Through careful scripting, disturbing audio-visual tricks, solid gameplay and a judicious use of cinematics, Fatal Frame manages to convey the disarming sense of feeling one's sanity crumble under the assault of otherworldly influences...At least, that's what the Voices told me to say.

    The lack of a two-player mode (reportedly dropped due to shipping deadlines) and no ability to simply roam around the city without time limits and seek out its many hidden areas and shortcuts is nigh-on criminal, especially the latter.

    Not since "Excitebike 64" for the now-defunct Nintendo 64 and the original "Motocross Madness" for the PC have I enjoyed a motocross game as much as MX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael.

    Red Dead Revolver could very well be THE game to keep the Old West genre from riding off into the sunset once and for all.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Combines spine-tingling combat, sweet character development and solid story with one hell of an editor.
