    If you’re a fan of the genre, it's possible that you’ll have a good time with this title, but you'll still have to overlook some significant flaws. By contrast, if you’re looking for an entry point into the hack-and-slash genre, it’s hard to recommend such a below average formulaic adventure.

    In all, Daemonica is a stylish game which falls short in only two ways: length and difficulty.

    Delivers in terms of pure excitement and plain and simple fun. The game packs in more than enough challenge to keep even the seasoned RTS veterans gritting their teeth, while the online component is sure to keep most any player giddy.

    Perfect for a younger crowd, as the difficulty and ambience seem to be particularly well suited for those in the 5-12 age bracket.

    Nothing can save Pac-Man World 3 from feeling simply average, and that extends to the game's presentation as well. This is not helped by some crippling technical issues, which are highlighted by an unmanageable and nearly-broken camera.

    The storyline and backgrounds for the characters are very deep for a fighting game, which is an advantage of the small roster.

    • 79 Critic Score
    This is a game that will definitely appeal to those players who are already fans of the source material, or who simply enjoy playing with giant robots, as these players will be more likely to overlook the game's shortcomings and appreciate its potential.

    It’s a solid package with tons of content, and it is very successful at giving players lots of options for playing poker.

    The game is fun. Frustrating at times, absolutely, but for a budget-priced title, players can't really go wrong with Crash 'N' Burn.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Though the game does have its quirks, both in its interface and the overall congruity of its various gameplay elements, it is overall a very tight game and offers gamers of any age an enjoyable experience.

    This is yet another sequel for the fans of the series that don't want anything more than a comfortable dip in the same old pool.

    The Nintendo DS shines and is probably the perfect piece of hardware for games of this type. The stylus and D-Pad compliment each other to allow players to quickly navigate the battlefield and switch between status screens.

    This game just sullies the name of Fallout, and cheapens it.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    As a game it is well below the current bar that has been set by other titles in the stealth action genre, and even casual gamers will most likely be bored to tears with Sydney Bristow's exploits.

    It won’t win any awards for the way it looks, plays or sounds. But, the devil really is in the details this time. A lot of work went into crafting a game that is considerably different in style than anything else on the market, even if the gameplay itself is stale.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Just mindless combat that amounts to little more pressing the attack buttons over and over from beginning to end.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Fails to stand up to typical console RPGs in terms of story telling and game mechanics. It simply does not offer the complexity that console gamers would expect and hope for in an RPG title.

    An interesting idea, yes, but perhaps more interesting in its failures rather than its much-too-rare highlights.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It’s too fast with not enough panache behind it to make it worthy of your time, compared to the now cheap "Soul Calibur 2." It has nothing that you cannot find elsewhere, and done better.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It is very addictive and challenging, and offers two additional difficulty levels if the default is not challenging enough.

    Feels more like an elaborate tech demo for HD televisions than it does a complete gameplay experience. Lacking all the gameplay modes and tweaks that one would expect from a yearly release, this version of the game is incomplete.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    As a game it is well below the current bar that has been set by other titles in the stealth action genre, and even casual gamers will most likely be bored to tears with Sydney Bristow's exploits.

    NFL head Coach is obviously targeted toward a very niche group of extreme football enthusiasts, but the game, such as it is, has been made into such a laborious, oftentimes arduous affair that even the target audience is likely to be turned away.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Visually it fails to impress, and often it comes off as embarrassing, especially when it is being played on a console that we all know is capable of so much more. As I have said earlier, this game is dated, and it appears as if the developers have put little effort in giving this game the facelift it so sorely needs to stand toe to toe with the rest of today's Xbox offerings.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The action is too slow, the camera is poorly implemented, the gameplay is repetitive, and the story is clichéd. The only redeeming qualities are nifty “manga” shaded graphics and an interesting combo-learning system.

    Batman Begins doesn't have a genuine bone in its body.

    Parents of these children will also enjoy this game--I laughed out loud more than once--but any experienced gamer will find it a transient challenge that is over much too quickly.

    Basic reading ability is required-which is a bit disappointing, as voice actors would have made this a slam dunk for children too young to read-but it's an otherwise simple and straightforward title that should provide hours of enjoyment for the adolescent set.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A disappointment on all ends. Failed potential seeps from every area, and as the game drags on, the realization that it doesn't get any better starts to sink in.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It is a marked improvement to the formula, but gamers turned off by the slow pace or average execution are encouraged to look elsewhere.
