    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good game for the patient strategy gamer who doesn't mind tripping over the occasional rough bit, and who thinks that "Starcraft" is really an action game.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    [Its] combination of great racing, beautiful graphics, and fun multiplayer make it one of the best racing simulations on the market.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While it's an ambitious and lengthy mystery inspired by the master of suspense, the game is spoiled by an overly confusing story, ambiguous puzzles and a flawed interface.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Savage Skies isn't going to change your life, it isn't going to have you thinking about it for hours and hours when you are away from it, and it will grow a little tiresome after a relatively short time, but it will entertain you, especially if you've ever had any metal or fantasy leanings.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Dungeon Siege is simple, and it is this simplicity that makes it an amazingly fun fantasy action RPG.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game is chock full of innovations, yet retains the addictive play of its predecessors.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The game's lack of focus, poor design, and beta-like release state will put it not in the forefront of strategy discussion boards, but rather the back of discount software bins.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The actual game play in Bloody Roar isn't as deep as say, VF4, but on the flipside, it's a game that's easy to pick up and play. Though you certainly won't beat the game by being a button-masher.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The characters have character, and the story is quite good as well, which gives the game life, when the novelty of the gameplay starts to wear a little thin.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a decent expansion pack, but nothing so bold that it would cause heart palpitations.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Unlike every other game in the known universe (and three or four from a small developer based in 7-Space), you can't turn off the game's forgettable music, which alas drowns out the game's weapon and engine effects.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Jedi Knight II ranks up there with the giants like "X-Wing Alliance" and the original "Jedi Knight." It's just that good.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While the gameplay and situations in Deus Ex are immersive, the story execution is not.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Not for the challenge-impaired or easily frustrated, Driven will definitely teach you more respect for what it takes to be a real race driver.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Cityscape has the look of "Unreal" and uses the "Serious Sam" engine, but falls way short of both in playability, artificial intelligence, ingenuity, and environment.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you are patient, willing to work on developing an online gaming community, and looking to play a well-designed, team-based first person shooter Global Operations is the perfect fit.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It took me almost an hour before I GOT King's Field: The Ancient City--and then the experience suddenly became charming, challenging and rewarding.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The gameplay that exists in BDB is decent, but there isn't a whole lot of it (though the difficulty level may make it take awhile to complete).
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Really, really funny. Right from the opening cut scene you'll be laughing out loud.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    I love the fact that the game's exploration is open-ended.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The graphics are no longer fresh, killing people is just bloody, not inventive, the cut scenes are long and uninteresting, and the story isn't nearly as strong or complicated as the plot of the "Soul Reaver" games.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Racing along bumpy gravel or icy roads at breakneck speeds is a great thrill, despite some unrealistic collision mechanics.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Blue Planet has thankfully left the basic gameplay alone.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You'll find yourself irritated with the pace, yet unable to stop. Diggles then, succeeds greatly at engaging game players, yet not so well at entertaining them.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A hard working tennis game that has lots of guts, but not so much finesse. However, the plusses do outweigh the minuses by quite a bit.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Although Monsters, Inc. is leaps and bounds beyond film-based games, it is still just a mediocre triumph; mind you the game is targeted at pre-teens.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    This seems less a case of a fun-filled movie inspiring a game than of a development company getting assigned a game by their publisher and told to crank it out quickly.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's just too unnecessarily frustrating. Gunvalkyrie simply should have had a little more polishing.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not as fun as the extra-exaggerated Triple Play games of the past and nowhere near as good as better baseball simulations by 3DO and Acclaim.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's damnably fun and addictive. Besides, only a complete jackass would miss the opportunity to see Blitz as it was truly meant to be.
