A rich, immersive strategy title sure to please most dyed in the wool simulation and strategy fans. Highly Recommended to all, even those who may need more of a learning curve.

This lack of variety in empires also leads to limited possibilities for opposing forces in your random games, to say the least. You'll spend a lot of time facing the Koreans.

Ultimately creates a frustrating experience stemming from both the deep difficulty and buggy programming. But, underneath these problems lies an extremely realistic and engaging squad-based combat sim.

If you’re a fan of the genre than this is a definite keeper.

A medium of the road horror adventure that has unfriendly controls and a less then inspiring storyline but with slick graphics and spot-on audio, all of which disappoints because I could see how good this game might have been with minimal adjustments.

Don't buy this game expecting a make over or new game, Advance 4 is the original but why change perfection?

A complete package, giving a remarkable performance in almost every aspect of the game.

The game explores some good new gameplay techniques, like fighting with the right analog stick. Even with the innovations, there is still enough holding the game back from greatness.

On a purely visceral level, the combination of Nosferatu’s graphics and sound make for a chilly experience. As I noted previously, it isn't that frightening on a grueling psychological level, just a jump out at you and make you scream level.

Only devout Batman fans and action gamers looking for a quick fix will find much appeal in Batman: Rise of the Sin Tzu.

Die-hard Batman fans may be able to get past the monotonous gameplay but others probably won't be as motivated.

Overall, it looks terrific, but there are some issues. Environments are a bit blocky, textures are a bit drab, and there are some noticeable framerate hitches, but Tak and the Power of Juju still looks great despite these faults.

But the game just isn’t The Sims. You can’t just do whatever you want and the mission driven game is just a little too simplistic to be overly fun.

The improvements to the graphics, the larger mission scope, and solid implementation of new vehicles all help to create a complete experience.

Although Space Colony puts forth a decent effort in meeting the aspects of a life simulator, the flow of the game can be cumbersome. Unfortunately, the other aspects of the game don’t make a strong enough presence to overcome this and even seem out of place at times.

Matches the scope of the "GTA" games but still manages to look incredible. Jak II is heavily detailed, highly stylized, and holds a lot of personality.

Although it does not support multiplayer and is a bit short, this definitely one of the best action games this year.

Playing MTV’s Celebrity Deathmatch is like watching a bad episode of the show and owning it is like watching that same episode over and over and over and over again. I think I’ll pass.

Manages to accomplish more then you would expect with such a simple gameplay structure and limited environment. It doesn’t break any new ground but fans of adventure games will find enough motivation to capture all 999 ghosts.

Mindless fun.

The missions are well designed with sub goals available and there is plenty of area to explore.

I had to force myself to plod forward, as I couldn’t withstand the overuse of a combat system that’s simplistic and lacks any really engrossing gameplay.

Younger gamers will find a decent challenge and a great introduction to adventure/mystery titles, but this game is the perfect example of a niche market game. Well executed and visually complete, this game is for Fans Only.

On a powerful rig, however, the PC version of Halo outdoes the Xbox’s visuals, though the differences are subtle. Simply put, it looks stunning at 1600x1200 with full effects on.

Challenging, fast-paced, and most importantly, fun. I’ve already spent way too much time playing this game, and most RTS fans will be spending just as much time with this title as I have. Highly recommended to gamers of all stripes.

The slow paced gameplay and unthreatening opponents will turn off some, but if you’re interested in hunting, then Hunting Unlimited 2 warrants a look.

Finds the right balance between arcade and simulation gameplay while still delivering the classic Midway style of hockey and adding more depth to the gameplay.

A sweet package - great audio/visuals and tremendous game play.
