    It offers a relatively fresh take on a well-established genre, with polished graphics and all the asteroid-blasting pleasure you can find this side of 1979.

    If you're a fan of old school, simple role-playing and haven't had the pleasure of playing the mobile version, then Orcs & Elves is a grand diversion that won't leave you feeling like someone stole $30 from your wallet.

    Packed with so much stuff to see and kill, Borderlands offers plenty of things to aim your spiffy new weapons at, all the while providing one of the best co-op experiences of the year.

    In spite of its slow pace, Fishing Resort has an awful lot going for it. It's beautiful, it's charming, and it's got a ton of content to explore. Most importantly though is that the game is simply a relaxing a good time.

    It’s gorgeous, fun, and is easily one of the very best racing games available for the console.

    These significant problems keep Achtung Panzer from being a truly great game, but it remains an solid wargame, especially for the $20 Paradox and Graviteam are asking.

    Regardless of its obvious shortcomings, Culdcept Saga is an addictive, unique and just plain fun little game that is jam packed with content.

    Quibbles aside, MLB 08 The Show packs quite a bit into this smaller platform and it makes a great companion to the console counterpart and is easily the best handheld baseball game on the market.

    Fans won’t find much of anything substantially new to digest, so think of Extraction as a fast, psychedelic trip down memory lane with a lot more firepower.

    • 82 Critic Score
    A nice beat 'em up that is pleasant to look at, offers a wide variety of different moves and chracters and a nice two-player co-op mode that makes the game a lot more valuable to adults and kids that want to pal around Gotham as their favorite super hero.

    The game has a remarkably easy to use control setup, and the addition of a training mode right at the outset is a blessing for those new to the series.
    • 87 Metascore

    What will keep people engrossed in the game are the characters, their humor under fire and their surprisingly poignant moments.

    There's no denying that DJV is an awesome game with a lot of flash, charisma, style and action.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    With a healthy mission-based storyline and tons of collectables, this is a game with a good lifespan, and one that is easy to introduce non-gamers to.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A fresh and near flawless game that will envelop you early on for hours upon hours of watching and playing time with its engaging storyline and gorgeous graphics and will keep you wrapped around its little finger until the final showdown with the mysterious enemy.

    This is one of the first N64 racers where you can actually see down the road a bit. No turns or mountains pop up from nonexistence to halt your speed. The framerate is very smooth and consistent throughout the courses, regardless of how much is going on in the race. Now that's something!

    AKI has done a grand job of creating a game engine that (I hope) will evolve into the foundation for a formidable and robust franchise. This first iteration of the engine is great but there's room for improvement.

    The harmony between deep gameplay mechanics and the freedom of choice is a powerful and wonderful thing. The Harvest Moon series has always been know for balancing these two, and A Wonderful Life carries on this proud tradition with addictive gameplay that never leaves you feeling forced into anything.

    It's a wild romp on the net, with enough secrets to unlock to warrant many hours of replay.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Surprisingly addictive, though incredibly frustrating at later stages in the game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Certainly, a game with well-developed characters, intriguing storyline, and entertaining play is not one that should be passed over too lightly, nor forgotten too easily.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A superb sequel to a great original game.

    What's nice is the character animations, the huge environments, and the overall ominous feel. Great sound effects add to the atmosphere.

    As well as its gameplay is executed, and with first-class presentation, ultimately Area 51 cannot quite rise above the pack of other good first-person shooters on the Xbox.

    It's not powerful enough to convince Painkiller detractors to join the fold, but it's certainly everything a fan the original game will love.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great game, but with its insanely short play time, lack of anything extra, and almost zilch replay value, you'll be hard pressed to buy this one right away.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A pretty solid arcade volleyball experience with a plethora of fun characters and humor geared towards the male adolescent in us all. But once the humor gets old, turning it all off reveals that underneath it all is a pretty solid gaming experience.

    People who are fans of the show will enjoy this game quite thoroughly and the cut scenes make the game seem like a never seen before episode.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The combat can be a bit repetitive after a sustained amount of play time, but the decent story, characters and card collecting aspects more than make up for it.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hardcore Matrix fans will definitely love this game and find it everything they expected. For everyone else, ETM won't be anything more than an average game that seems too similar to many other titles already out there.
