One-shot kills make it hard to appreciate differences among the nuances of firing rate, penetration value, and stopping power.

This is one of those games that at the end of the day are totally and completely…mediocre. It isn't terrible, it isn't great. You might have a good time, you might hate it.

The developers manage to hit a few high notes in their debut title but overall, Fighting Legends Online falls flat.

Fans of unbridled reaving, adventuring, and general vampiring through time and dimensions will love the game, despite its technical shortcomings.

Sometimes a budget title is just a budget title, and in this case you really do get what you pay for.

It doesn't expand the genre and it's got technical issues, but the Alien and Predator levels are a blast.

A spectacular game, but you can’t help but think it could have been deeper.

Subtle and clever...The game, like its predecessors, is about addiction. Unfortunately, it does a great job of it.

Smuggler's Run 2 makes Smuggler's Run look like a tech demo. It's Angel Studios' best game so far.

If you can play it, focus your efforts on the campaign -- it's fun, and for the most part works as advertised. Hopefully, by the time you are finished with Connacht's tale, a patch to fix the many multiplayer issues will be ready.

There's only one major new technique, which might be disappointing to some fans of the series.

All in all, combat is very easy to learn, but difficult to master -- and yet very satisfying.

A picture perfect port of what should be the most tired game in the business, somehow having it portable again, especially this well done, is a joy to fans everywhere.

A jack of all trades and a master of none. Although it offers variety, it doesn't do anything so well that you'd want to play it again.

Oh sure, Denki Blocks might look cute and innocent with its bright, colorful graphics and cast of cutesy cartoon characters, but it's a bonafide, mean-spirited jerk.

A very stable and fun MMOG.

Simply the best action football game available for any system.

There's something undeniably cool about having DOOM in your pocket.

If you love multiplayer, have a speedy connection and the horsepower, or if you really enjoy skirmish battles against the CPU, then it's much easier to recommend.

If you're looking to experience the world of the caped crusader (and walk a mile in his boots), you will surely have bat-barrels of fun with this title. Those gamers interested in more depth of gameplay other than punch, jump, destroy and rescue should look elsewhere.

Fans of sci-fi racing in general will likely find the game engaging, but in the end, the harshly unforgiving nature of the gameplay and steep learning curve will tend to work against them.

Considering the unpolished feel of SSC and with alternatives like "Gran Turismo 3" providing a much more fulfilling experience, there are very few people I could recommend this game to.

Lacks the full-on rampage of other action titles. "Halo" this is not. Combat is almost a throw-away sub-feature, and it shouldn't be.

A fantastically designed and fun game that’s one of the most absorbing, entertaining titles released in a while. It gets better and better with every single day, as you continue discovering new little features here and there.

The landscapes, from the desert to the jungle, are good-looking, with enough differences in the terrain to keep it interesting. The change that the time-of-day makes on the environments is especially beautiful.

An interesting, exciting, and fun city-building strategy simulation that will surely stay on many hard drives for a long time.

Is it compelling enough for Flight Simulator 2000 owners? Your mileage may vary, but for the graphical enhancements alone, I'd have to say yes.

More often than not, the gameplay mechanics and the zoos themselves are just plain dull. Watching animals circle around in cages while guests amble around on sidewalks offers little to hold your attention or capture your imagination.
