Tightly woven gameplay makes this a great addition to the series. If only more touch screen could have been implemented.

It reminds me of the roller rink, the movie theaters-anywhere that had a working Mortal Kombat machine. That's the draw for this game ' nostalgia. The hook is everything else.

The interface makes the gameplay a pleasure, with its easy controls and menus. The only drawback to the gameplay is the lack of more than one save game slot, which means only one person can play each game cartridge.

The decision is a no-brainer for people who don’t already own it on the Xbox or PS2, but for those who have played it before, the slick presentation just might not be enough to warrant an upgrade.

The game is really fluid and runs at a high frame rate. What I liked about this game is that the weapons that you carry will affect your speed, just like it would in real life.

There's something about the simple (but unobvious) puzzles, the simple battles and the attack limitations that make it impossible to put down.

One of the really neat things about this game is the new base running interface. There is now three screens on the top right that show where all the base runners are, this makes it very easy to know where all of your runners are, and help out when you try to steal bases.

An immensely enjoyable game that will consume your day, if you're not careful. A great game for multiple players; too bad there are only two save slots.

Another great feature of this game is the mission varieties to mix up the action and the open-ended style of gameplay throughout a few Acts.

Tekken 6 is not to be missed and ever player should be proud to have it in their gaming library.

Assault on Dark Athena is a great deal for players, as it gives those PS3 owners who missed out on the phenomenal Escape from Butcher Bay the chance to check it out in HD, with a host of perks. However, based solely on the strength of these perks, it’s a bit harder to recommend for those who played through Riddick’s first console game.

The intensity level in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 is certainly high, especially in critical situations.

It is both stimulating to the eyes and ears and will have you jumping out of your chair when the fit it’s the shan. The character rendering and animation is top notch.

Just one of those rare gems that make you glad you own an Xbox.

THQ has done a good job gearing up the franchise for the future with the inclusion of downloadable user-created content. Downloading storylines that involve the G.I.

I believe this episode to be a little superior to Ice Station Santa in the smoothness of the story and the good integration of puzzles.

The gameplay is great! Few controls to memorize and the game flows nicely while you are playing. The only down side is the load time between sequences and battles. [Director's Edition]

The weakest portion of Road Trip is the sound. Aside from the screeching of tires on the road and the bubble-gum pop on the car’s radio, there really is little else to listen to.

All of the players react to the slightest touch of the controller and that is the way it should be! You can play NFL Street for months on end and you will never get bored with it.
