    DarkStar One
    This game "gets" the template of 1985's Commodore 64 classic Elite in a way that many other space-trading games released over the past decade or so didn't, thanks to its emphasis on the mid-'80s classic's simple principles of buying low, selling high, and blasting pirates for fun and profit. It comes with a few minor problems in the fit-and-finish department, but the game is still an outstanding return to the frontier spirit that made Elite so memorable.

    Pac-Man
    If you're absolutely riddled with Pac-Man fever, this game is for you, but if you're anything less than fiendish in your desire to play Pac-Man, then take a pass.

    Dead Rising
    Dead Rising's gory, ridiculous, and entertaining action, coupled with its real-time structure and campy stylistic touches, make it one of the most unique games currently available for the Xbox 360.

    Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation
    A few minor issues barely put a dent in this anime-inspired strategy role-playing game, which delivers a great story and dozens of interesting missions.

    Dungeon Siege II: Broken World
    Broken World brings a couple of welcome new features to an already good game, but the short campaign and lack of compelling content will leave you feeling disappointed.

    Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting
    While this translation of one of the greatest fighting games of all time is mostly intact, its sloppy online mode and bland presentation will leave Street Fighter fans feeling cold.

    Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure
    As long as you're not too hung up on variety and plot, these breaking-and-entering brainteasers will delight puzzle fans.

    FlatOut 2
    FlatOut 2 seems a little too slick for its own good in spots, but it still manages to provide plenty of destructive racing fun.

    Super Monkey Ball Adventure
    Traveller's Tales has perverted Sega's previously charming action puzzle series into a clumsy, frustrating action adventure game.

    Barnyard
    The open-ended design is a breath of fresh air, while the overall presentation lives up to the movie's skewed style and humor.

    Barnyard
    Some of the minigames are fun, and the story is charming, but it's tough to recommend a game that's absolutely done in less than three hours.

    Big Oil: Build an Oil Empire
    Big Oil is poorly designed all around, with frustrating bugs, a practically unworkable interface, and tiresome gameplay.

    Birth of America
    Birth of America's challenging artificial intelligence and historical authenticity will please grizzled wargamers, but it doesn't do quite enough to broaden the genre's appeal to newcomers.

    Galaga
    The original Galaga is an undisputed arcade classic, and this is a fairly faithful version of it.

    Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville
    A decent fit for sprint car enthusiasts, Road to Knoxville is too stripped-down and too single-minded for anyone else.

    Summon Night: Swordcraft Story
    It's a basic dungeon crawler at heart, but Summon Night: Swordcraft Story has enough fun with the formula to make it worth playing for role-playing fans.

    Battle B-Daman
    Battle B-Daman fails to capture the fun, dynamic nature of the tabletop game it's based on.

    Tekken: Dark Resurrection
    It's one of those amazing portable games that raises the bar and resets your expectations about what a portable machine can do.

    World War II Combat: Iwo Jima
    From top to bottom World War II Combat: Iwo Jima is a terrible game with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

    Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Warlords
    Warlords adds six new civilizations and other enhancements to Civilization IV, but the cool new scenarios are the real treat in this expansion.

    CivCity: Rome
    CivCity: Rome could have been a classic, but it wound up just another city builder.

    The Ant Bully
    This 3D adventure game does expand on the movie's story, but it's also uninteresting and repetitive.

    The Ant Bully
    This simple adventure game should be just right for younger players and anyone that wants an inoffensive game based on their favorite movie.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Painkiller: Hell Wars
    Some technical performance issues and the passing of time make this version of the game less remarkable now than the original was when it was released, but Painkiller: Hell Wars is still a fun and viscerally satisfying shooter that has a lot to offer.
