    It has great graphics, fairly simple controls, great scenery, a decent choice of planes, and a great editor. Although the sounds easily get on your nerves, it will be the load times and need for a computer upgrade that will have you pulling your hair out.

    A reliable, well-designed and fun shooter title to provide you with some intense gameplay both in single player and multiplayer versions.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A great mix of tactical shooter and strategy based gameplay that, although fun, stumbles a bit due to the limitations within the game.
    • 76 Metascore

    Offering gamers fast paced gameplay, excellent 2D designs, alternate pathways and a slew of weapons to rain chaos on the enemies this is one title all gamers should at least try once, twice - even three times.

    Overall the story and concept of Warlords Battlecry III is very well presented. However, the lack of an upgraded graphics engine really gave me a sour taste in my mouth.

    Fans of third-person action games will find the gameplay in Van Helsing satisfactory with several hours of enjoyment but beyond the fact you get to fight movie monsters from the past, the game just falls short with lack luster environments and limited gameplay.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Massive character creation tools, diverse city landscapes, powerful abilities and enemies, huge groups of powerful heroes fighting alongside each other and the list goes on and on showing this massively multiplayer game is not like so many out there.

    • 72 Critic Score
    The implementation of sightjacking works well in achieving contemplative gameplay, as well as heightening suspense; on the contrary, the complexity of the game’s organization and the Scenario Link Navigator may turn some away.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite some motion stiffness with Agent 47, Hitman: Contracts is one of the top single player action-stealth games on the market.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While possessing a solid visual and audio presentation, its gameplay suffers from bizarre puzzle design that is far from intuitive. Although a streamlined interface help to make interacting with game environments easy, the unusual puzzles make it difficult to progress through this intriguing game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Monotonous combat, a lackluster story, and poor visuals are countered by moderately intriguing characters; however, this isn't nearly enough to salvage the game.

    An engaging and challenging urban adaptation of the sport, Freestyle Street Soccer offers a solid arcade sporting experience. Balancing traditional soccer gameplay with easy-to-execute tricks and stunts, the game is simple to play.

    Examining Northland as a strategy game, it fails miserably with ridiculously tedious micromanagement gameplay that falls behind the times.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hardcore adventure players can still aquire some decent gameplay out of this title, but may find it rather simplistic due to its apparent targeting to new players to the genre.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is perhaps the best format for a game using the license to take, but I was expecting more interaction with live individuals, more research and searching for clues, more of an adventure game along the lines of those that appeared on the PC platform in years past.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The learning curve jumps due to the confusion the player feels while trying to get a hold of the camera and the involved combo system turn into a button masher in frenzied fights. Still, the title is worth a look.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Shoot outs are troublesome and hectic, moving around the map is too much of an effort, and keeping track of what you’ve actually done is a chore.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The only two things that keep MTX: Mototrax from truly soaring is the lack of racing precision seen in other motocross titles and the strange physics anomalies.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    While Drakengard doesn’t possess any glaring faults, issues regarding the game’s combat balance and the lack of an action ability system prevent it from being entirely engaging.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Featuring plenty of unlockables, good visuals, an adrenaline-charged soundtrack, and solid connectivity, I would recommend MTX Mototrax for anyone interested in the world of motocross, or just looking to pick up quality extreme sports title.

    While juvenile and cartoonish in presentation, the overall presentation is not sure at times whether it wants to take itself seriously or not--leaving most situations and some characters depicted during the adventure as downright silly.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Its aspects of action, while moderately engaging, are wholly unbalanced; in addition, the elements of strategy are watered-down for ease of play.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    While the game’s aspects of real-time strategy fail due to poor AI, the action role-playing elements play out fine, if not repetitious. A severely marred visual and audio presentation prevent Joan of Arc from making up ground lost in gameplay.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    While the game provides an accurate depiction of the family business through a beautifully crafter story, its visual presentation is decidedly lacking due to lengthy loading times and poor textures throughout the game.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    While the actually gameplay is without much issue, it borrows heavily from other games, particularly the "Rogue Squadron" series, making its mission-based gameplay highly unoriginal and trite.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Brings nothing new to the table. The Deleted Scenes are a nice bonus, but the meat of the game consists of bot matches with some objectives to complete. The game as a whole appears to be rushed, as if they just wanted the ordeal to be over.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The controls are fairly well created however the game moves at a slow pace and unless you have mastered the combos before the match your robot will be laying on his back most of the game.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The online multiplayer runs pretty smooth and the maps are very well designed, although not overwhelmingly eye-catching. Each level is also liberally littered with weapons and ammo so that you’re never at a loss for something to kill people with.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    With a wonderful physics engine and solid visual representation, RC Cars could have easily blasted other racing games out of the water; too bad since the game lacks variety.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    From its unbalanced gameplay to its mixed visual and audio presentation, Spawn: Armageddon is a valiant effort at coupling modern action gaming with a beloved character that unfortunately falls short of reaching heaven.
