    Between graphics, story, and gameplay, we want at least two out of three to drive us to complete the large undertaking that is playing an RPG. Lunar excels at none of the above.

    It's definitely preferred to the average character-based kids' games; just don't expect to cast your Tony Hawk or Katamari aside to play it.

    Unlike so many tossed-off gunners, it makes the most of the console and will tax most players in equal measure.

    We can't stress how much fun we had with Super Off Road. It truly is one of the more timeless arcade racing games.

    Its attempts to stand out are partially successful at best, but solid production values and a lower than average price tag could be agreeable to people predisposed to this type of gameplay.

    An interesting attempt at breaking the first-person shooter mould, and it could have been something special if the rest of the game weren’t rather mediocre.

    The main problem is that Ties That Bind doesn't live up to the once-promising pedigree of "The Suffering." While we got more of some things--more swearing, more gore, and more story--we actually ended up with less: less ammo, less creativity, and fewer thrills to keep you going.

    An amazing accomplishment, especially considering the fact that Sly 2 was just released last year.

    Why the presentation is so flat is a mystery worthy of Veronica Mars, since there are only two athletes on-screen at once (four during doubles matches).

    NBA Live 06's seemingly small additions have improved the on-court action immeasurably, making it one of the best entries in the series to date.

    Once again the game to beat, though its controls will be a sticking point for the pick-up-and-play crowd.

    The short length and repetitive sequences make it more of a rental for non-believers, but overall, excellent gameplay, a great presentation, and familiar characters make this the best superhero-based game since, well, "Spider-Man 2."

    The experience is a little like being served greasy fast food from an employee that really hates his job. Not only is the product prepared to the lowest possible standard, the bun is mashed, the ketchup and mustard are in one big glob off to the side, and the meat is soggy.

    The four-player online play in S.L.A.I. works just fine, but it doesn't make up for the fact that the single-player game wears thin within an hour.

    The action is fast, fun, and occasionally almost intense, but not graphic.

    Hardcore fans might balk at the scaled back customization, but new players should be able to get up and running quickly.

    It does drag on in a few spots, and its sci-fi bent may betray the original premise, but it brings gamers a deep, compelling story told in a clever way -- both in terms of narrative and gameplay execution.

    Even if you played through the Xbox version multiple times, there’s enough new stuff here for a look.

    The story mode is boring and full of repetition, the controls are overly simplistic.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It captures the essence of its predecessor's wackiness, scope, and addictive gameplay; yet it drops the ball as far as advancements and even takes a step back in the audio department.

    Even with the short running time, however, Genji is so well-constructed that anyone partial to sword combat should pay attention.

    Though the Wayne vs. Wayne mode is an interesting, if not disturbing, idea, it’s not enough to justify a purchase for most hockey fans.

    Players who can't stand "Diablo" won't much like Legends, no matter their mutant fanaticism. But for everyone else, the mutant madness will be addictive and appealing.

    Despite the knocks against rivals mode and the fact that the new controls are mostly borrowed from what many consider to be a more simple golf franchise, Tiger Woods 06 is still a solid game. Where rivals fails, the more realistic PGA Tour mode is still fun, as is skills 18, a set of target-based minigames.
