    It's a colorful block-busting game with a good sense of style and classic gameplay in the same vein as Money Puzzle Exchanger or the Magical Drop series.

    A solid game that's fun to watch, but it's no longer the only game in town.

    This may be a touch disappointing to hardcore fans of "Crash Team Racing", but anyone looking for a solid kart racer should be quite pleased.

    Dubious claims of exclusive content aside, this version of Red Alert 3 is all good, rambunctious fun.

    MySims Racing doesn't shatter kart-racing conventions, but it has a couple of fun new ideas that set it apart from the pack.

    Ultimate Ninja capably captures the spirit of Naruto, delivering a stylish fighting experience that's both easy to pick up and easy on the eyes.

    Since the PS2 version loses the crispness of the original's graphics and some of the game's other fine touches in translation, it can't be recommended over the PC version.

    Saints Row IV owes a lot to games like Crackdown and Prototype, but the absurd humor that infuses every aspect of this game gives it an identity all its own.

    Despite a totally different visual style and the introduction of combat, Rune Factory still delivers a relatively straight-ahead Harvest Moon experience.

    If you can deal with the culture clash and with the typical shortcomings of translations from consoles, then you're likely to find that Grandia II can provide plenty of charm and plenty of fun.

    Two of Capcom's best arcade beat-'em-ups get HD ports worthy of their heritage, providing a good, if easy, co-op experience.

    The simulated city of Steelport doesn't offer deep gameplay or the most satisfying challenge, but it is a great place to mess around.
    • 78 Metascore

    Though third-person action adventure games are very common these days, Crimson Sea's unusual style and characters and its effective blend of action elements make it stand out.

    Thomas Was Alone humanizes nondescript squares, creating an affecting and satisfying adventure.

    Saints Row IV's crazy missions, fun superpowers, and funny writing make it an enjoyable way to live out your destructive fantasies.

    Tropico 4 is a likeable and engaging sequel that expands on its predecessor but doesn't offer much new depth.
    • 72 Metascore

    Thrillville: Off the Rails makes every part of building and running a theme park great fun.

    Mahjong plus Scrabble equals fun for vocabulary buffs.

    • 75 Critic Score
    It still stands in the shadow of those that came before it, and little flaws like loading hiccups and soft textures underscore the fact that Judgment feels like a lesser achievement. Still, it's a heck of a lot of fun, and if you still enjoy utterly destroying hulking monstrosities with one blast of the sawed-off shotgun, you'll find a lot to like in Gears of War: Judgment.

    Online connection issues diminish the value of this add-on's excellent maps.

    This brutally difficult side-scroller is good, bloody entertainment.

    Badge of Carnage Episode 2 offers another rowdy good trek through the vile streets of Clappers Wreake.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Though rough in places, the RPG series' latest entry is one of its weirdest, if not best.
    • 74 Metascore

    If you ignore the motion-sensing controls, then you'll find a lot of exciting aerial action in The Sky Crawlers.

    Section 8: Prejudice explores well-worn territory, but a smart campaign and volatile competitive mode make this shooter rise above its generic aesthetic.

    You'll be hard-pressed to find more bang for your buck than this packed PSP off-road racing game.

    Stylish visuals and exciting action make The Brave and the Bold a very good re-creation of the animated series.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A solid port of a one-of-a-kind role-playing game that is endlessly appealing to genre fans who are looking for something different, but it's a bit too dense for everyone else.

    It's the same adventure you may have experienced many times before, but Star Fox 64 3D is still an enjoyable journey through a dangerous galaxy.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A stereotypical classic adventure. Future Games has done this one up in the traditional style popularized way back when by the likes of Sierra and LucasArts, so if you're a fan of this sort of old-school adventuring and don't demand that game designers reinvent the wheel, you can't go wrong here.
