Things have definitely moved along since launch... It's still quite a daunting place for a newbie though.

Improves on "Vendetta" in every aspect [with a] well-told story mode and improved fighting engine.

Stays true to the series blueprint and moves things forward into the current console generation with style.

An absolute orgy of burning rubber with 700 cars and 50 tracks... Next time we see GT roll up, pray for the ability to take it for an online spin, but for now, it's everything else you hoped Gran Turismo 4 would be. [JPN Import]

It's the details that we love in this game...Graphics are wonderful, too...Just dont play it in the dark.

The whole affair feels like a slightly slower more elegant version of the recently released "Wario Ware."

An absolute triumph of level design and wit.

This game still compares favorably with more modern efforts such as Volition's "Red Faction."

Doesn't feel like the game it could have been, torpedoed as it is by some dodgy controls and the basic lameness that is your lead character.

Dramatic, hilarious and impenetrable by turn, it's a cold heart that won't be warmed by this one, but hardcore fight fans may find themselves irritated.

While Commandos 3 is still a strong concept, and most definitely a super-looking game, it's only suitable for the most patient veterans of the series.

Ultimately this isn't quite polished, inspired, or exciting enough to appear in the top echelon of Xbox titles. Mech-fans are unlikely to be disappointed, however.

A fantastic game and even a bare minimum of effort on the part of the developer can't take that away from it.

Improvements to sound and visuals are excellent... [but] genuine shocks don't come often enough.

Limited multiplayer options, the paucity of single-player goals and the determinedly difficult nature of the game will discourage more casual gamers looking for a quick alternative sports fix.

The GBA version of The Sands of Time is much more of a straightforward action platformer... lacks any major wow factor.

The cartoon style might not appeal to hardcore Tekken devotees, but there's certainly a lot of fun to beaten out of this one.

Fans of action titles are almost certainly also big fans of The Matrix, and will be disconcerted by such a pallid tie-in.

XIII's a charming game initially, but get past the visuals and you're left with a simple shooter with a maddeningly deadly aim.

Fun in the short-term and has ambition, but there's not enough innovation to get excited about, or warrant re-playing what is a lengthy franchise title.

While it might not be the true land of milk and strategic honey, Heaven & Hell is a reasonable enough entry in a fairly small pantheon.

Ultimately, it's just Risk with a bare minimum of flashy animation. Obviously it's a faster game than a board-based one to entice you into purchasing, but there are no striking new modes that utilize the console setting. A competent, convenient interpretation that doesn't do enough to banish the board game to a jumble sale.

A short and slightly limited game....While it lasts, it's a blast.

Project: Snowblind sn't quite as blinding as some of the Xbox's FPS offerings but this game is more than capable of keeping PS2 marksmen happy.

It's far from perfect, but still a classy title.

It does get repetitive fairly quickly and once you've explored every level from pirate ship to casino, you might get a little bored.

The locations feel more spacious than the original, too, and missions are varied so drug busts move into car chases with only the slightest hint of nausea...A limited but exciting experience.

This game may be relatively simply, but it sure is varied... Comforting and predictable.

A very sweet game and, thankfully, very easy to play from the outset. While nowhere near as comprehensive as "The Sims," this is as endearing and sylish as keeping people as pets gets.

Overly sophisticated elements have been held back to appeal to the younger gamer but some hugely tricky jumping puzzles are bound to cause frustration. Luckily, gameplay is varied. If you get stuck, you can hit the road, and before long you'll be faced with a different challenge.

A bit like a cross of "Parappa the Rapper" and the film "Animal House." The sleazy humor is fun for a while but gameplay can get repetitive.

It's scary. Really, really, really scary...It features the scariest thing in the world. Eerie children singing. [JPN Import]

One of the most harrowing action titles we've ever played...The game itslef is well crafted. The enemy A.I., however, is a little shaky.

Visually, the game is awe-inspiring.

It succeeds. It's just a shame the world isn't terribly exciting... It's definitely a case of "love the world, but where's the game?"
