    Fans of four-player cooperative gaming, in the style of Gauntlet, will have fun with Redeemer, but it's still a pretty short game and is quite easy to blast through.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It adds a couple of new control features to the original game, but it doesn't address the underlying flaws of the system.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The combination of the irritatingly tough mission structuring along with the relative simplicity of the combat ultimately makes Battlestar Galactica a bit too basic of an experience for any seasoned space combat fan, and it's too difficult of an experience for casual fans that are just looking for a simple trip down memory lane.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A decent first effort at simulating the chosen sport of wizards, it falls short of its promise primarily because of sluggish controls and shallow gameplay.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    If you can get around the weaker aspects of the game, Rogue Ops should be a reasonably entertaining experience for stealth fans looking for their next fix.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    This otherwise ordinary-to-a-fault action game is given a shot in the arm by its relatively cool gameplay techniques, which--at least--make the game's short ride interesting.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Some aspects of the game could have used some more polish, but these shouldn't deter anyone looking for a deep, involved, great-looking, and memorable RPG from getting Gladius.

    • 65 Metascore

    It's a game that only a DBZ fan could <I>love</I>, but it's a proficient enough fighting game that others might like it.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    While the classic Tony Hawk gameplay is present, and still fantastic after all this time, the new story mode doesn't make as dramatic of a change as it probably could have.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    What the game lacks in innovation, however, is more than made up for in sheer playability.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    While some are more interesting than others, in practice, Core Combat's new additions don't seem to add much to PlanetSide.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    Marred by bugs, design problems, low production values, and general sloppiness that usually overshadow its genuine charms.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It takes everything that was good in "Spyro: Season of Ice" and "Spyro: Season of Flame," adds in a few new puzzles and abilities, and brings all of these aspects together into an adventure that's larger and more pleasing to the senses than either of those previous games.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It contains everything that was good about the previous three games while it adds a single new move and a modest set of new features that, once again, inject freshness into a formula that never seems to run out of steam.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score

    A cool piece of technology, and it definitely has the potential to be a lot of fun, especially in a crowd setting.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Never has there been a tycoon game this visually attractive or effectively designed to minimize micromanagement.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    An inadequate addition to the mission-based sci-fi sim genre. The branching mission paths are a nice idea, but, in practice, they could have allowed for more mission variety than what the final product actually delivers.

    Last spring's "Wacky Worlds" expansion was lambasted by critics and fans for offering just a few new themes and scenarios, and the latest add-on is equally uninspired. Time Twister is modeled on the same formula as its predecessor and is just as disappointing.

    A unique gameplay mode called 24/7... is so addictive, it's likely that many players will spend more time in 24/7 than playing standard games. If you are planning on buying only one basketball game this year, ESPN NBA Basketball is the one to get.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    May be fun for die-hard fans of the film, but if you're just looking for a good action game, or even a good World War II action game, you could do better.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A fun, though fairly short and simple, game that marks a promising new beginning for this beloved series.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    As a refinement of the "Age of Empires" legacy, Empires offers enough that's new to even appeal to those who aren't card-carrying RTS fans.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    TMNT doesn't wear its nostalgic aspects particularly well, and the remaining components simply don't make for a very entertaining experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's often frustrating to play, and it's frustrating to see that there's clearly a wonderful game hidden amongst the major bugs, cumbersome controls, questionable AI, and other flaws.
    • 89 Metascore

    If you are planning on buying only one basketball game this year, ESPN NBA Basketball is the one to get.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    If you've never liked light-gun games, it won't change your mind. But, if you've grown tired of the genre, Time Crisis 3 might just bring you back in.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A highly streamlined sequel that shifts the series' focus away from management and diplomacy to surprisingly fast-paced combat.
