I can sum it all up in one sentence: If you’re a gamer and a fan of rock music, then you owe it to yourself to play this game.

It's the best Matrix game to date, but Matrix games still have a way to go.

More of an incremental change over the original game than a full-blown sequel, but those increments are pretty good ones.

A solid gaming experience with great atmosphere though a little linear.

An interesting concept that needs to be backed up with more game.

An average game in an otherwise stellar series.

Even though there is repetition to the missions, you’ll still look forward to jumping into your next one. Building a supervillain and carefully configuring his or her power set will keep you logging back into the game again and again.

It can be fun in its own right to those who are both Star Wars fans and who can be a little patient with the controls.

It can feel slowly paced and has its annoyances – some of which are inherent to the genre – but if you’re looking for a casual game that plays as much as a story as it does a game, you’ll probably want to give this one a look.

Call of Duty 2 is like a good war movie, it may not be a realistic portrayal of war but it is dramatic, compelling, and epic in scale.

Ratchet: Deadlocked has a lock on exciting, over-the-top gaming fun.

The grandmaster series of strategy gaming spawns another game for the ages.

If you were stuck on a desert island with a PSP and only one game, this is the game that you’d want to have with you.

Rare is the game that can generate a truly creepy atmosphere – Call of Cthulhu is one of those games.

This expansion does not add enough to the game to make it recommendable to those who are no already diehard fans of Zoo Tycoon 2.

Classic real-time strategy action in a beautiful new wrapper.

Shadow of the Colossus is experienced as much as it is played.

Jak X is kart racing for the Twisted Metal generation.

If you’re really into fighters, then you may want to rent the game to check out the novel betting feature, but expect to be disappointed by the game’s relatively simple fight engine. However, overall The Con just doesn’t have enough going for it to suck you in for the long term.

A decent WWII game and attractive to those who like a little strategy in their FPS but if you have a choice go with the PC or Xbox version.

The chance to skate a virtual LA will appeal to Tony Hawk fans and those new to the series will find the story mode a great way to quickly learn how to be a sick video skate rat.

It has a suitable cel-shaded look to it and reproduces the vibrant colors and crisp lines of the series quite well.

The Lost Chapters is a novel game and will draw you in in ways other games can't. It's an interesting experience and well worth your time.

An online feast, but a single player famine, and SOCOM veterans with a Network Adaptor will enjoy gorging themselves on this game.

New world graphics and old world gameplay.

Romancing SaGa has areas that may prove to be interesting in the future, but the lack of a story and uninteresting characters prove too much to overcome.

Graphically the game is top-notch. The players are animated realistically and there are a lot of nice extra touches such as ball marks on the courts and shadows cast by the lights in night matches.

Earned in Blood is for those who enjoyed Road to Hill 30 but wished it was more challenging. You got your wish.

A bloody good time.

The graphics, creature mechanics, and gameplay can all add to the obsession with B&W2.

A decent hockey game, but it falls short of being the great one.

The NBA action is good and there are plenty of other game options to help keep things fresh for a long time to come.

Diplomacy is best left to fans of the board game looking for a little nostalgic fun. Those who enjoy juggling multiple competing proposals while under the clock are also encouraged to apply.

The multiplayer game really is something different from other RTS games you’ve played online, and if you’re an RTS multiplayer fan it is well worth your time to give Dragonshard a try.

One of the few good dogfighting games out there, so if you're into them you owe it to yourself to check it out.

A quick-playing "war gaming lite" game for the grognard crowd.

I really liked the work done to give the game a 1940s feel and the overall quality of the game's graphics.

Combat is key in any good RPG and in Dragon Song the combat is very plain and in at least one area very bad.

The island setting is realistic enough to make you start to sweat from the heat, and the advanced AI makes for some exciting action. It's just one of those games that is experienced as much as it is played.

Borrows from the Hollywood movies "The Running Man" and "Bloodsport" and then blends them with the characteristics of a traditional first person shooter. The result is a bit like most Hollywood movies, fair to good at best.

Sticks close to the formula used in the first game, but not close enough to make it as good a game as the original.

If you never liked the Sly games then this means that you’re not going to enjoy Sly 3. The rest of you will love going along with the gang on another adventure.

Ultimate Spider-Man does its best to bring a comic book to life and does a good job with the presentation. Its weakness is that the story is way too short and parts are repetitive.

The PC version of Ultimate Spider-Man finally gives Activision a chance to make up for Spider-Man 2, but it doesn’t quite live up to it’s ‘Ultimate’ moniker.

The closest a game has come yet to being an interactive comic.

You get a new faction that adds a new dynamic to the gameplay without disrupting balance and a new campaign that packs in a lot of gameplay.

One of the creepiest and unsettling games to come along in a while. Play it alone at night with the lights off and enjoy the creepy ride.

Although the storyline is definitely morbid and intriguing, Indigo Prophecy screams of Dance Dance Revolution and Simon with its directional controls and the near system requirement for a dual analog gamepad.

Although the story may be lacking “epic qualities” and a little short, the game still delivers on many of the promises that it makes.

By far the hardest rocking vampire versus elf game out there.

Indigo Prophecy may very well be the best adventure game for the Xbox...not much more needs to be said than that.

An enjoyable dungeon hack romp featuring everybody's favorite mutants.

An enjoyable hybrid RPG/action game that is accessible to the novice X-Men fan but pays the bigger dividends to the true fan.

Frantix will make you more frantic about the controls than the gameplay.

A good mix of an action/adventure game and a traditional fighter. Fans of either genre will find something to enjoy and MK fans will especially enjoy the references to MK lore.

MK fans will rate Shaolin Monks a fatality – others will find it surprisingly fun in short doses.

An interesting world and great atmosphere can't save repetitive gameplay made even more tedious by a terrible camera system.

There aren’t any big enough changes in Nightlife to change your mind about the game if you’re not a The Sims 2 fan to begin with, and certain issues such as long load times still persist in the game. However, if you’re looking to add some fun to your sims’ lives, Nightlife fits the bill quite nicely.

Revenge is a dish that Burnout serves up hot, and you'll savor every bite.

In spite of the short length, repetition, and glitches, Regeneration does provide enjoyment to Evil Dead fans. The voice acting by Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi's brother Ted is excellent and the game packs in a surprisingly large amount of dialog between Ash and Sam.

GripShift is best left to hardcore puzzle game fans with a healthy patient streak.

The "dumbing down" of the single layer game is a big disappointment, though, and Rainbow Six fans will find this to be a huge letdown. Rainbow Six deserves better than to become yet another arcade shooter.

Strictly for the King of Fighters enthusiast or old school 2D fight fans.

Overall PIU is best enjoyed by DDR fans looking for a little challenge. The game is too brutal on beginners to win many converts as only the patient and diligent will stick with it long enough to get good at it.

187 Ride or Die just doesn't have anything going for it. The gameplay is repetitive and uninspired, the campaign mode is tedious, and the multiplayer play is boring.

If you like tons of bad words, lame stories, and repetitive gameplay revolving around guns and cars then try 187. Otherwise just go for a nice Sunday dive away from this game.

The game does an excellent job of not only providing an enjoyable gameplay experience, but also of capturing the spirit of the Hulk.

Fun for a rental if you've always had the goal of completing two games in one afternoon. Otherwise there's not enough gameplay here to justify the cost to anyone but a hardcore Metal Slug fan.

Whether you play Summit Strike for the single player campaign, the multiplayer action, or both, you'll thoroughly enjoy the game.

An innovative concept wedged into a mediocre game.

FlatOut has its strong points, but some annoying features and an overall lack of presentation keep it from keeping it together until the finish line.

If you enjoy strategy games or RPGs, it's hard to imagine you not liking this game. In fact, it's likely to become your obsession for a while.

It's a feature-rich game backed by solid gameplay that will keep you playing long after bowl season has ended.

A must have for fans of multiplayer Halo 2 who do not subscribe to Xbox Live.

It's hard to recommend this game to anyone who is not a 2D fighting virtuoso looking for challenging play on Xbox Live.

Your typical arcade-style button mashing adventure game. It should remind you of playing "X-Men" and "The Simpsons" in the arcade with the way it demands constant repetitive button pushing.

The racing in Midnight Club 3 provides for some fast and furious fun. However, if the load times were as fast as the racing, the game would be a lot more enjoyable.

Best left to diehard fans of the movie or comic. There are better superhero brawlers out there for everyone else.

A game that did not need to be made. Check out "X-Men Legends" instead. You'll thank me later.

All RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 fans will certainly love getting "Soaked!"

On the field of multiplayer shooter combat, Battlefield 2 conquers the competition with shock and awe.

Live & Reloaded is going to take a little patience on your part, but if you love bathroom humor and exploding critters this game certainly delivers.

In spite of its flaws, Destroy All Humans would be easily recommendable if the campaign lasted longer. As it stands, you can play through the game and get all that you need out of the free roam mode with a weekend rental.

Risk Your Life: PotE can be entertaining and thrilling, but it’ll take some work to make it that way.

Too short, linear, and easy to recommend on its own merits, Batman Begins is best enjoyed as a rental to be played soon after seeing the movie while you’re still on a Batman high.

This game is more torture than anything Dr. No or Goldfinger ever dreamed up.

There is support for traditional splitscreen multiplayer gaming, but this mode doesn't offer enough to make European Assault a recommended title for those looking for multiplayer action. Because of the barebones multiplayer support, European Assault does not have as much life in it as your typical shooter.

A great mature concept that can not live up to the expectations.

Cold Winter is the type of game you would take home to meet your mother, not too flashy but nothing to be embarrassed about either...just a good time.

If you’re looking for an ultra-realistic and brutally difficult driving experience on your PC, then you should take GTR for a spin.

If there is a knock against Forza Motorsports it's that the game does not have much personality. The racing is great and the cars look sweet, but there's not much going on in between.

It takes a very methodical and patient strategy gamer to appreciate Laser Squad Nemesis.

Masterfully blends the best of MMORPGs and collectible card games into a unique and enjoyable online gaming experience.

A sweeping, deep, and complex game best left to those who revel in sweeping, deep, and complex games.

An intense and enjoyable alien and mutant killing frenzy.

Travel the world, meet cute and fuzzy creatures, and then kill them. What could be more fun?

A little more "I" in its "AI" would go a long way towards making this a great game.

This castle’s built on sand.
