Some minor balancing issues and a lack of "strategic depth" aside, Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is a giddy blast from the past, spiffed up with a sweet new look, a beefed up multiplayer suite, and the return of some familiar faces reprising their roles from the dawn of RTS gaming.

Earth Defense Force 2107 isn't a great game, but it's a really fun one and unlike the grease bomb you score from the local burger emporium, it won't have any long-term deleterious impact on your health.

While there is a lot of complexity in the game play it is hard to grasp the many aspects due to the unpleasant interface.

In the end, the prettiness of Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle does not entirely make up for its average sound and gameplay, but despite some of its flaws, it is still an entertaining game, and fans of the original, or those seeking a nice looking and light-hearted adventure game, will more than likely appreciate this sequel.

A complex strategy game, challenging both for its detailed economy and its various spheres of military operations.

My advice is to sail these rough waters with caution, because if you’re not careful you could very well end up depressed and out thirty doubloons.

Overall, DEF JAM ICON is a decent game, although a little disappointing in that the story line is unaffected by your actions and decisions throughout.

A great puzzle game for the PS2, check it out!

Bullet Witch is a game that could have been great, but instead fell flat on its face.

With a career mode that will take hundreds of hours to complete 100% of the way and multiplayer support for up to four players, SSX Blur will undoubtedly compliment any Wii gamer’s collection.

It improves on the format already established in the previous games, and the strategy level adds another dimension to the game. At the same time, if you've burned out on the series, maybe you should avoid it as it's still the same game.

Rather disappointing. As a follow-up to an already average game, KOTT2 adds a little non-linearity and multiplayer into the equation, but still falls short in most aspects including dated gameplay mechanics, vacant online lobbies, average graphics, a poor aural experience and an annoying control scheme.

The game blends historical reality and sci-fi elements really well, and while its gameplay is perhaps too comfortably familiar, the inclusion of high-tech future weapons makes the experience diverting.

The control scheme could be improved upon, but as it stands, the motions are fairly intuitive and you won’t have a major problem with steering sensitivity.

Although the ending seemed rather abrupt, there’s still plenty to do once you’ve rid the world of crime.

Gas Powered Games' version of a dream RTS--bigger, richer, longer, and more complex than just about any strategy game ever attempted. It is an audacious exercise in game design that in the main, works really well. It isn't as emotionally engaging as some games, but it does demand actual strategy and tactics, and it is a game that will take a very long time to master.

A week of this game and you will have had your fill. One tip; in season mode go through the fantasy draft and figure out which positions have the least amount of really highly rated players and draft those positions first. You should be able to blow through the season undefeated.

Dreamlords has managed to capture the addictive nature present in Civilization-like Empire-builders, which make you need to play just one more turn.

While hardcore fans of the adventure genre may want something more challenging and less linear, casual fans or newcomers can certainly enjoy what Secrets has to offer and not be disappointed in the least.

This diamond in the rough makes me want to brush the dust off of my PSP and give it a whirl. Gurumin is an action adventure game with a classic cutesy Japanese look and a well suited plot line.

It has certainly impressed me in many ways: Beautiful design, convincing environments, and depth of play.

While the voice acting is atrocious and the card system can really anger you when it doesn’t work in your favor, overall Fuzion Frenzy 2 is unmistakably an admirable party title.

Whether you’re a seasoned adventure gamer, an MMO player looking for a truly different experience, or you simply have an appreciation for a fully immersive gaming experience, Uru Live is worth your exploration.

Taken for what it is (a high budget, sci-fi, old-style shooter with a low-ball story) it's a lot of fun. It's a short game, clocking in at around 8 hours on normal setting, but it has legs due to the strong multiplayer component and well-designed maps.

Even if you've never played a Metal Slug game in your life, but you do like classic 2D shooters, you won't be disappointed. There is a reason this series has been around so long and when you play through any one of these games you will understand why.

A commendable improvement to last year's release. The driving physics are still a little more awkward than one would hope for, but if you can see past this flaw, then there's plenty of adrenaline pumping, gut wrenching racing waiting for you.

I was frankly surprised at just how easy and flexible the coaster construction tools were; and the mini-games that introduce training, ride and attraction types were a nice change-up to the usual sim/coaster model.
