This is certainly one game that every child should play, even if you have to rent it. I'm also betting that more than a few adults are going to get hooked on the simple old-school adventure gameplay that oozes with charm and a unique vision that mirrors the movie and the novels that inspired them both.

The game is bigger, prettier and generally more fine-tuned than any of its predecessors. It just isn't really all that different from any of them.

Overall, the production value is top-notch; on screen characters react and interact to the music ' audience members wave fists to the beat and band member appear to actually be performing guitar solos and drumming ' and the whole game has a nice polish to it.

If you are looking for an outstanding visual and visceral action experience then you haven’t seen or played anything this cool since that old "Incoming" game from a few years ago.

It’s new, it’s original, and best of all it’s fun.

A significant step forward from the original but hardly revolutionizes the genre or even the series. The game starts off playing and looking like the original and slowly evolves into something slightly new and improved.

Eurocom did a great job reviving the failing franchise by successfully recreating the wonderful aspects of the original Insomniac titles and properly bringing them into the current generation of consoles.

There’s always something new to discover!

Despite some minor flaws and an occasional frustrating bug (that will hopefully be resolved in a patch), Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile keeps many of the classic elements of city-building strategy that made its predecessors so much fun to play, and innovates in ways which make the game much more interesting and involving.

The game succeeds too well in creating the emptiness of space—I want to feel the emptiness of space, not feel like the game is lacking way too much content.

Scrapland creates a stunning new world, a setting of unique architecture and character design and hopefully marks the birth of a new franchise.

One of the most original Xbox games I've played in a long time, not only because of the visionary graphics, but the clever intertwining of FPS action and RPG elements and more online modes than any two other games combined.

People who just really dig dragons might be able to endure the interface issues, but for most of the rest of us, this one should be passed up for better games.

With a familiar world to explore and many ways to do so, you play The Third Age over and over.

This is a hard puzzle game that’s extremely fun and rewarding. A game that you can really get into and play for hours on end (or straight through to completion).

It helps to be a History Channel fanatic to really love this game. Fans of the board game who have never played RTS will no doubt be very unhappy.

$10-30 per hour is probably the worst deal I have ever seen in a high-profile video game, and I amazed that THQ put it out with so little substance.

If you’re a wrestling or a Smackdown fan, you’ll go nuts over this year’s Smackdown! vs. RAW. However, if you’re looking for an in-depth, stat-tracking online wrestling title, you’ll want to hold off for future installments and simply rent this one.

A great game that will likely appeal to action gamers more than role-players.

With all of the available options, team stats, player management, and coaching decisions, you will be hard pressed to find a better basketball simulation than this.

With a great audio/visual style, but lackluster mechanics and replay value, only true fans of the movie need apply.

Because Ski Resort Extreme couldn’t even prove to be “extreme”, it’s hard to recommend it unless you’re either an ambitious business administrator who wants to sharpen their skills, a ski/snowboarding buff, or both.

Unless the GBA is your only system I'd recommend fighting crime on the big consoles and leave this version to the really young kids or those doomed to play games on the commute to school or work. The Incredibles is fun but not that fun and certainly not as good as the movie that inspired it.

It doesn't really expand on the story but there is a nice diversity of gameplay and specific playing styles based on the characters and their levels.

The Incredibles is just not that "incredible". It's an okay game, fraught with minor issues on a technical front and saved by high production values and attention to detail in less substantial areas.

Men of Valor tells the best story and delivers the best action of any of the Vietnam games currently available.

A $19.99 price tag is decent, but still $20 too much for any Non-Manchester fans, and even the latter fans would need to be sloggered on a few pre-game beverages to appreciate this title.

With solid graphics and voice acting identical to the television program, this title should satisfy any fan of the motion picture, especially the little ones.
