No technical marvel, it’s incredibly easy, the graphics are only so-so, it ends far too soon, and there’s no reason to ever play it again once you’re finished. That said, if you’re a fan of the previous Scooby-Doo games, you’ll like this one too.

Just be warned that it’s not the easiest and most impressive game to get into. And as any EverQuest fan will tell you, it’s not the easiest game to stop playing either.

NHL 2K6 hits the ice with fervor and awesome gameplay, that much is obvious. But the weak announcers and buggy graphics detract some from the positives.

A passable fighting game, but has nothing to recommend it to people who are not fans of its namesake anime and manga series.

With a decent soundtrack, excellent voice acting and a graphic style that was printed from a picture book, Radiata Stories pulls its great character development and cheery sense of humor together to become a wonderfully enjoyable role-playing experience.

A hard core, straight up, turn-based strategy game that's got a lot of depth. The story is surprisingly entertaining.

In many ways, NHL 06 really could be considered the best console hockey game to ever hit the ice – that is, if it weren't for the handful of glaring issues that have been with the game for years and EA simply refuses to address, not the least of which is EA's poor integration of online play through Xbox Live.

This game has a nice mix of simplicity and active thinking that makes it a great kid’s game. Get the grandparents to get this game, and watch your son or daughter shine on your computer.

A decent online poker game.

But even with all of this quality presentation the gameplay is still held back a notch by the limited scope and quirky nature of the puzzles, repetitive backtracking between locations, and an overall slower pace than most competing adventure titles.

A few months ago, the table poker video game was a novelty, but as more and more of these games hit the shelves, the quicker the novelty wears off.

The Total Team control opens a whole new set of doors for the tired franchise and will definitely have old school NASCAR gamers frothing at the mouth for its new, deeper play mechanic.

Flaws are still present, but appear less often, and the options have been upped in almost every area for a more complete package. The play feels smooth, and the game looks great.

While not a total loss, it definitely is not worth the price of admission.

To be honest, as a newbie to the series I didn’t expect the level of depth that Big Mutha Truckers 2: Truck Me Harder had to offer.

The game designers set out to capture that thrill of tearing off on an unstoppable temper tantrum and they nailed it.

It probably sounds like I am complaining a lot but many of the games in this collection are permanently burned into my brain from countless hours and tokens spent back in the 80’s, so when I get a perfect visual representation of those games that don’t play the same way as I remembered it kind of bugs me.

Simple to learn, easy to master, yet quite challenging to complete.

If you enjoyed the recent Dukes of Hazzard movie or just hang out on TNT waiting for the reruns you might be a redneck, but if you are playing Big Mutha Truckers 2 while you're waiting at least you're a redneck with good taste in games.

The game is flawed, sure. You can’t play too long in any one day without becoming bored. And you’ve got to commit to taking care of your virtual pup(s) even after the walking and feeding become tiresome.

It was a good idea that was sloppily put together, and the result is a repetitive, overly simple game that doesn't have a whole lot to offer.

Voyage doesn’t explore new gaming territory, but it’s a solid adventure title. It also does a really good job of bringing a somewhat forgotten classic to life.

An excellent hybrid of systematic dungeon crawls and traditional RPG gameplay that will reward most any RPG fan with quality hack-n-slash gameplay, strategic inventory management, and thoughtful character advancement.

Just brighten up the levels and give me some camera scripting and this game would have scored a full [twenty] points higher.

With normal graphics, background music that tends to be forgotten, and low replay-ability, Geist is better off on the store shelves than in your Gamecube, at least until it hits the bargain bins.

Advent Rising is interactive fiction at its finest. This is what Halo wanted to be; hell, it’s what Star Wars wanted to be. Orson can write circles around George Lucas when it comes to stories, characters, and dialogue.
