    A profoundly personal experience that should not be missed.

    This Napoleonic strategy game isn't as revolutionary as its namesake, but it still improves upon previous Total War offerings.

    Smooth controls and a bunch of awesome tracks make this an exciting kart racer.

    This role-playing game's forgettable story and frustrating combat make it a real disappointment.

    This lengthy add-on is filled with so much humor, action, and looting satisfaction that it could very well be the highlight of all your Pandoran adventures.

    There's a great role-playing game here, but it's hiding behind a terrible interface and clunky combat.

    This underwater adventure is beautiful, enchanting, and a big improvement over the original.

    This add-on is a flawed but refreshing way to revisit Renaissance Italy.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It looks ancient and controls poorly, but this entertaining and unpredictable horror adventure delivers more shocks than schlock.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Buckets of whimsy and oodles of puzzles make this a satisfying adventure, despite the sometimes steep difficulty.
    • 79 Metascore

    This atmospheric return to the classic Resident Evil gameplay packs more than a few surprises.

    Fireteam Bravo 3 has the makings of a rewarding shooter, but it lacks the freshness and tactical depth that made its predecessors so engaging.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The attention to detail, the well-considered level design, and the sense of momentum that characterize the finest shooters are missing here. Aliens vs. Predator is sometimes enjoyable but never escapes an overwhelming sense of carelessness, so while it may remind you of the good old days, it fails to recapture them.

    This return to a beloved series is brutal enough, but it doesn't pack the punch of its forebears.

    • 80 Critic Score
    This madcap adventure tests your detective skills in brand new environments with an immersive story, and a twist on old gameplay elements keeps things interesting.

    Rebel coups and corruption aren't the only things you need to worry about in this somewhat problematic, yet still addictive, port of Tropico 3.

    The best of the Dynasty Warriors franchise struggles to compete with modern hack-and-slash games.

    Darwinia+ is a crazy addictive repackaging of two great puzzle real-time strategy games for Xbox Live Arcade.

    Rapture may not be as mysterious and intriguing this second time around, but it is nonetheless host to a powerful and moving tale that allows you to better realize--or pervert--Ryan's principles at your own discretion. Regardless of whether or not this is a return visit to paradise lost, there is plenty to be found here to make it a worthwhile, meaningful, and compelling one.

    This competent example of the well-worn dungeon-crawling formula lacks the spark of innovation that might have made it something more.
