Ridge Racer V is liable to give players flashbacks to the Commodore 64 days when you could start the game loading, go off and eat lunch, and then return to play the game.

It’s very frustrating, and enough to make more sensitive gamers nauseous. You’ll get angry and start swearing at the TV.

It is one of the “must have” launch titles. You won’t be disappointed.

even though I had more fun playing through Ocarina of Time, overall, Majora's Mask is just as impressive technically and possibly even more rewarding to play because of Link's newfound abilities with each of the masks he acquires.

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 title bearing the honorable Avalon Hill franchise name deserves much better than dated graphics, flawed gameplay, and shoddy voice acting. I don’t know what Hasbro Interactive/Microprose was thinking.

It will likely satiate role-playing game aficionados who would step over their own mother for something to play on their PS2, but don’t expect Squaresoft-quality gameplay.

The lack of lightgun support and the shortness of the game hurt what is otherwise a great title.

The biggest drawback I found with the game in general was not being able to adequately distinguish other players from the background.

Even if Madden NFL 2001 weren’t the only game in town, it would still be one of the best football games ever.

A video game that should have been percolated a bit longer.

If you like a little humor mixed in with your punches then give this one a workout.

The real fun begins when monsters begin to show up and you must fulfill the requirements for recruiting a Hero that will bash its head in before too many people get gobbled up by the wandering nasty.

Solid and extremely stylish (if unrevolutionary) RTS gaming.

Most everything about the PS2 version makes us cringe, especially since we know how much the PC version of Unreal Tournament rocks.

A fun little racing game that has a lot going for it, though nothing sticks out as being overly great.

Putting a 3D face on a 2D game just doesn’t cut it.

The Pacific based action in CFS 2 includes stunning locations that really show that the battleground was truly a tropical paradise, and well-detailed aircraft to take to the skies. This is really one title not to be missed!

The AI has always been one of the weakest elements in this series but this time around it has been tweaked a bit and these soldiers will now perform a little more realistically.

First-rate graphics, awesome motion captured animation, smooth 3D scrolling, as well as authentic riders, bikes and tracks... It has it where it counts, in the fun category.

While this first PC foray into the Blair mythos is excellent, you needn't bother unless you have a relatively high-end system. If you harbor any doubts as to whether your system is good enough, it isn't. The base requirements (Pentium II 233, etc.) refer to the game running at all, not the game running well when you've got multiple enemies onscreen...and believe me, you will.

But the FPS of the characters rendered their movements choppy and the general artistic schemes – the pudgy blue Pimmons and boringly animated Amazons – were less funny than they were just not to be taken seriously.

The brilliantly motion captured player movement, smarter players and broadcast style presentation are nothing short of awesome and really make for a complete hockey experience.

It just hardly seems like a worthy sequel to the series, and sadly, almost feels like a shell of what could have been a truly inspired game.

Despite nice effects like the lighting on the torches in dungeons and the water effects that let you see the fishies swimming along, the whole game grows rather old rather fast. This happens because the game is indeed old.

Despite the annoying camera work, Sanity Aiken’s Artifact manages to remain a fun game that will leave you excited at the prospect of finding your next Psionic talent and using it on some well-deserving criminals or on your online friends.

One of the best action-movie games on any platform. Some frustrating camera placement and a save-game that takes some getting used to take very little away from the excellent sneak-and-peek gameplay.

For the first time in a single player game, I truly felt I was playing my way through a pen and paper fantasy campaign.
