A deep, engrossing, RPG-platform amalgam that's also perfectly portable.

It's a decent baseball game on the GBA, but not a pennant winner.

It might be some time until the Xbox sees another adventure that's this enjoyable again.

Despite some clunky inventory management and some frustrating camera angles, this'll be a game that you'll go back to whenever you're up for a couple of hours of mayhem and swordplay.

The gorgeous graphics combined with the terrific sense of speed (at least at higher levels) are certainly as fun to watch as they are to interact with, and the control is accurate enough to allow precise movements.

I can't remember the last time I played a racer this challenging and difficult to master. It's no picnic, but the rewards are plenty for those of you with the will and determination to keep on winning.

I'm so in love with this game. If you liked "Baldur's Gate" or "Planescape: Torment," you'll love this game.

Definitely not a game for everyone... but it's an intensely satisfying and mind-bogglingly replayable game for those gamers willing to wallow in Asian history and pure strategy.

The combination of highly accurate aircraft reproduction, flight model and the rigorous aircraft management system should appeal to those armchair pilots anxious to take their turn around the pylons.

This expansion pack is worth every last cent to a fan of Icewind Dale.

The learning curve is a bit greater than it has to be because of some less-than-complete instructions, but the time spent figuring out the ins and outs of the game will be well worth it.

There are just too many doors that don't open, or containment field barriers that can't be lowered, giving the rat in a maze feel to many missions.

It offers a lot of character interaction and an interesting storyline that will keep you guessing. Even a quirky camera system, a few minor graphical glitches, and flawed character logic can't bring this title down.

Fans of the film, disciples of The Rock, and old-timers who enjoy a good 2D action / platformer should all investigate The Scorpion King.

The gameplay is extremely fast paced, and while difficult to master at times, it does make for an extremely captivating experience.

The joy of F1 2002 is that it can play as realistically or as non-realistically as you like.

The production values for Frontline are way up there though, and with great voice acting, cool FMV cut scenes, and more atmosphere than most other FPS titles, the game is a winner for WWII action fans and newbies alike.

A bit like the Homecoming Princess. Sure, she looks nice, and is fun to play with, but you can't help looking at the Queen and wonder what might have been.

A game that won't inspire novices or attract causal gamers. This is one for the hardcore only.

A great game, and better than the first in all of the important ways, but the impact is lessened by the similarity to the first game.

Great gameplay and incredible movie nostalgia.

It's laidback, good-natured, and a fine example of the quirky game design that only the Japanese seem to deliver.

Bugs aside, Bloodmoon is a smart buy for fans of the original game simply because it's not just more-of-the-same; the quests are well designed, and the werewolf slant changes the entire flavor of Morrowind.

The dynamic campaign is one of the best ever.

Even with its visual shortcomings and ambition that keeps the game from being as tight as it could have been, Dead to Rights is a riot, packed full of non-stop action that will have you and the buddies playing hours through the night.

Like Westwood's real-time strategy games, there's a lot of flash here, some of the same old interface problems, and more than enough "yee-haw!" enthusiasm to make up for any shortcomings. Well, almost.

If you want to dig deep into Madden's highly touted franchise mode, there are some major holes that need to be filled before this portion of the game passes muster -- the game will not be truly complete until it's fixed.

Fans of the original game can find nearly as many objects and tiles on the net for free, and may not get enough replay value out of the expansion pack to make it worth the cost.
