The gameplay is easy to pick up, yet has lots of depth due to the feat system. The graphics and sound are excellent. And there's plenty of replay value, especially for Forgotten Realms fan boys.

Though the Pikmin really don't have the individuality that Pokemon developed, you really do start to care for your little guys as the game progresses.

Even if you've played the original, SSX Tricky is a fantastic game of fast paced action and tons of surprises.

It's probably entertaining enough for the casual gamer, but the competition even in the bargain bins is better.

It's a solid, trick based BMX game. Good control, mixed with decent graphics, and a wide variety of truly huge and impressive courses should satisfy any player in search of an extreme sporting fix.

Looks good, has plenty of tactical depth.

Apologies go out to all the perverts out there, you're going to be disappointed too...an adventure game that's woefully short on the adventure based on a pornographic comic book character that doesn't get pornographic.

With all of the current A-list titles available, the flaws in Dragon Rage really scream out at you.

The only complaint I have about EvS is that your health, armor, and arsenal don't carry over into the next mission.

Although the single player game has a few too many potential dead ends, the accessible gameplay and multiplayer support for up to four people means it's a surefire crowd pleaser.

Its lack of innovation, crude trick control scheme, and lousy opponent AI might tempt you to look elsewhere for your watercraft kicks...but I can't help but smile as I weave my way through the course.

The crashes, lockups, and bizarro-world English really put a damper on things and lead to a lot of nerve bending frustration, and in the end it's just not worth the effort to fight through all the mess.

Running away from dinosaurs may keep you alive, but it just isn't very much fun.

Despite its lack or originality and ultimately disappointing graphics, Star Wars Starfighter: Special Edition remains a decent, but far from great game.

Power through some early dullness and potential confusion, and you'll find a grand adventure in a rich and colorful game world.

Crawling across the forest floor to tag a one-shot kill on a guard whose head was barely visible in a tower at 186 meters is a thrill unlike any other.

[It] would make a fine purchase for masochists and parents looking to punish their kids. Other than that, gamers could play "Crazy Taxi," and then watch an episode of the TV show to end up ten times more satisfied than this game will make them.

The environment, the quests, and the huge world you're in overcomes some of the technical issues with the game.

Fans of the series may be puzzled by a few missing features.

"Defender II." It's hard to imagine why that one is omitted, since it should use the same graphics as the included "Defender."

With excellent controls, graphics, sound, and a huge variety of gameplay modes, this one is a game you should pick up.

A worthy sequel.

A decade of shooters combined into one polished package; the single-player mode is filled with great action and a wide variety of gameplay, and the innovative multiplayer mode should hook veteran fraggers almost immediately.

Throw away every pre-conceived notion you may have about games involving music mixing, as Frequency is not only strong in its fun factor, but intensely addictive as well.

The first time you see AquaNox in action, you'll probably be impressed with the bright lights and flashy explosions, but you'll probably tire of those in about five minutes.

There's no shortage of better ways to spend your hard-earned gaming money, even when you're rummaging through the bargain bins.

Amped may not be exactly like snowboarding, but it's the closest you can get without equipment.

No other game to date comes this close to replicating what it would be like to explore a truly seamless universe.
