The game is really fun to play since you have the ability to change between two main characters. Another thing that really helps breakup the repetition is when you are flying up in space to purify the vampires.

Battlefront II is another serving of a meal we’ve already had. It tastes a little better and looks a little fresher. I have no regrets playing through it and urge every Star Wars fan to check it out. Just beware that what you’re getting is not innovation – it’s just more fun.

For fans of Penny Arcade, purchasing this game will be a no brainer.

A little typical in terms of graphics and sound, but what this game does bring to the fore is depth of gameplay. It is immersive, and challenging.

The game has a wisp of a manual, but the interface is quite intuitive and takes little time to get a handle on.

Despite the extreme challenge, Race Driver is a gripping, adrenaline-soaked experience.

I really like the diverse gameplay between Venom and Spider-Man. This makes the game a whole lot more interesting because they each have their own style of play, which helps break up any repetition that might form.

A young children's game for the GBA that is actually worth the money, which is not that common.

There are a couple of weak spots here and there but this is still the game to turn to when you want your baseball really fun and really off the wall.

While it is fun in single player it doesn’t even hold a candle to when you are playing multiplayer. The game can (and it does) get repetitive during some of the dungeons.

It’s a tough road ahead, but it’s one you won’t be able to resist, with many rewards and much satisfaction to be had.

The framerate is smooth, the controls are mostly standard for the genre and the game does not require you to think too much – but you had better react quickly.

Hats off to the dev team for bringing the genre back to life in a visually appealing way that is a lot of fun to play.

Whoever thought the word “masterpiece” could ever be in the same sentence as “mini-game”?

With great graphics, top-notch sound and amusing gameplay, this is baseball at its most wacky and enjoyable.

Not the most visually stunning turn-based combat game on the market, on any platform. But the lure of this game is much more insidious. The game has depth of play that few can equal. This is more about entreating the brain as opposed to the eyes or ears.

The only problem with this game is that it could have been so much better. The game's land battles tend to get repetitive but thanks to the wide variety of missions and options, this game will be playing in your PC for a very long time.

Dokapon Kingdom is a cute, hilarious, addicting game with a multiplayer experience that can't be matched. It's not going to appeal to every gamer, but I can honestly rank my time with it among the most fun I've ever had with my Wii.

At $30, this is a very nice expansion for Flight Sim X, bringing not just some new aircraft but solid multiplayer elements to the fore. Fans of the Flight Sim franchise should enjoy this.

I really did like how you only have to manage time in this game as it gives you a greater sense of urgency on the things that have to be done.

The new Gamebreaker moves are out of this world. For the die-hard, obsess-bordering fans like myself, that’s all the series needs (at this point). I’m hooked.

A must-own for every fan of Ultimate Mortal Kombat. The arcade-perfect gameplay and the addition of online multiplayer make this port an irresistible package.

The instruction manual is lacking and the controls can be a little confusing. But with all of the different gameplay elements, Age of Wonders is an excellent addition to anyone’s library.

Yet another blending of two totally different game styles that works out incredibly well.

Excellent AI and great control mechanics make UEFA Euro 2004 the game every soccer fan hoped it would be. It's exciting and very entertaining for long play periods.

An excellent (albeit marginally updated) sequel that is sure to please Tekken fans all over the world. Buy it for the thrills and the massive character lineup.

Strong narrative and open-ended design are the highlights of this fantasy experience. Divinity II: Ego Draconis will likely be overlooked by many due to the timing of its release, but it offers a genuinely engrossing world for RPG buffs to wallow in.

Madden NFL 07 for the Nintendo Wii is a great game. Even though this game has its fair share of glitches and the graphics engine is not updated, it still remains a blast to play. The inclusion of all of the multiplayer modes is a great treat and will make this a game not to leave your Nintendo Wii for some time.

The game is fun, with great environments, fun weapons, tight controls, and quirky enemies.

Boasts incredible graphics and audio, but extremely linear gameplay.

Get used to the controls and don't even think about quitting until you've reached the third or fourth level. By that time, you won't want to quit playing, and will be glad you took my advice.

It's a solid MMO that will serve as a good diversion from WoW, but only time will tell if it has the depth of content necessary to keep people around.

While dated graphics and an overall air of familiarity may turn off some, the sheer amount of fun activities coupled with the budget price make for a heartily recommended adventure.

There's an unfortunate lack of improvement in the gameplay here, but it seems that the gameplay of the first was so good that it could be simplified and still be very enjoyable.

This is, bar none, the best consumer available flight simulation to date. Notice the word “simulation.” Flight Simulator has game-like elements, missions, online play, etc., but at the end of the day it’s a hardcore simulator that the average “gamer” probably won’t enjoy.

There is so much content in the game. It is well worth the money. There are few things Galactrix could improve on, but don’t be fooled, it is a very solid game.

The game can be frustrating, especially when you have a higher-rated team get owned by a lower-rated one that seemingly can’t miss a shot and takes advantage of obvious lack of player movement on defense for easy buckets. But much of this part of the learning curve.

A great title with plenty of action to keep you busy and enough eye candy to melt your corneas for a while.

If you enjoy third person action titles or RTS games, and enjoy some really good battles in between building and resource gathering all wrapped around a good vs. evil story which is interesting and contains some decent plot twists, you will definitely want to check out Spellforce.

This game has some great moments as well as some that are not so great. It is still, though, a first-rate soccer game that dazzles at times. The new features really give the game a boost, but there is still work to do. This is a great game and fun to play with others.

This is “vintage” Tomb Raider, given a facelift, and sparkling as a result. It is fun to play, and fun to watch.

It is quite difficult though, so if you like your racing easy, you'd best look elsewhere - or better yet, find a cheat code.

Player-specific moves are astonishing and Isomotion work quite well. The shot stick, free throw mechanics, and team AI needs work though.

The graphics are very good, and the action is intense. This is a wonderful boxing game.

The overall element remains intact … train, fight, adventure ... but you can also do more personal area customization and once again cross breed which can add hours and hours to the gameplay.

As easy as The Sims Bustin’ Out on the GBA is, it’s surprising that the game offers so much lasting appeal, clocking in at nearly 20 hours.

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

The funny story line, excellent sound effects, quality voice acting, good graphics and unique weapons will find you coming back for more.

No SIXAXIS seems likes a missed opportunity but still the game controls very well and the UI is easy to navigate through.

The puzzles aren't difficult and the storyline is pretty straightforward. The hardest part is keeping innocent people safe.

The beautiful graphics and excellent voice-over work help transport players into the Ages of Myst.

The good graphics, easy to use control and excellent concept will give players much to enjoy.

PotBS offers different fare from the usual assortment of MMOs in release, and that is a good thing. The game, though, is not one that can be truly appreciated inside a week. It takes time to delve into the nuances of the game mechanics and to explore the depth of what is offered.

With some innovative visuals, more involved gameplay, and spunky plot - Jade Cocoon 2 places itself a step above the rest.

You'll love every minute of it. Its enormous free-roaming environments, plenty of cars and hundreds of missions will keep you busy for a really long time.

Presentation-wise, I think you’ll find a good amount to like here. The sound effects are spot-on, including the way the ball-to-paddle tone will vastly diverge for dramatic effect during a high-count rally. The visuals are a tad on the shiny and plastic look, but nevertheless they’re very well done, with superb lighting, texturing, and animations. Not much to complain about here.

Besides being way too short for comfort, the gameplay features suspense at every turn. I also liked the simplicity of the game such as the exclusion of a cross-hair and health bar.

Unlocking all the extras will take quite some time and mastering every fighter in the game will also prove a daunting task.

Guardians of the Light broadens the scope of its predecessor but isn’t overly friendly to newer players.

A solid adventure for gamers who want the EverQuest experience in a console format. It is richly rendered and provides a solid entertainment experience.

The graphical elements are very well done, the animation is solid and the various challenges will keep players intrigued.

While it’s nothing groundbreaking, the action is solid, mission objectives are varied and interesting, and the enemies are intelligent enough to make for some intense sequences.

A graphically strong game that is crammed with action. It is not for everyone, and does have an undercurrent of pure evil in the story.

One of the best puzzle games ever made.

A great adventure game, despite having a few technical problems and being a little too easy. There's really no excuse for the sound problem, and that is why I didn't rate this game higher.

Add silky smooth animations and an addictive pick-up-and-play gameplay style and you end up with NHL 2005.

The bright, solid graphics pushed me to keep playing just to see new locations and by then I was immersed in the game's conspiracy. You couldn't do much better amidst this season's adventure PC games.

With a solid online racing mode as well as other modes that will occupy your time for quite a while, GT Legends will not leave your PC for quite some time.

Strong narrative and open-ended design are the highlights of this fantasy experience. Divinity II: Ego Draconis will likely be overlooked by many due to the timing of its release, but it offers a genuinely engrossing world for RPG buffs to wallow in.

Has solid features but graphically falls a little short of the championship.

The story mode has really nice hooks in it that will keep players wanting to keep playing until they know what happens in the end.

Though its not a masterpiece and falls in the growing crowd of space simulators like "FreeLancer," it’s a game that almost everyone will appreciate.

This is adventure gaming at its purest. TellTale has done a superb job bringing back a popular set of adventure gamers from the past and incorporating them into a new format of episodic gaming.

The 2K team has upped the ante when it comes to game mechanics and that makes College Hoops 2K8 an enjoyable and challenging experience.

The game seems to be a little slow paced, and does not sport the pulse-pounding, floor-racing frenetic pace often associated with NCAA hoops. However the game is seamless in other regards.

A dream title for sports gamers. Not only does it improve upon its forerunner, it completely revamps its gameplay engine making for an absolutely blissful virtual tennis experience.

Playing Railroad Tycoon 3 was a breath of fresh air compared to other simulation games. The easy to use interface, excellent graphics, quality music, and wonderful gameplay adds up to an impressive gaming package.

A very satisfying and incredibly funny romp through Threepwood's twisted world of pirating, this chapter definitely outshines its predecessor. Adventure lovers will be pleased.

Sure, there are some frustrations in this game, but it is still a pretty good representation of the game of baseball. The game looks great, sounds good and plays well.

This is a game that may seem simple, but is one of those “tough to master” titles that packs in the fun, particularly in multiplayer sessions.

It's as realistic as a virtual coaster could possibly be, and once it's over, you can't wait to get back in line to ride it again.

The Wii control scheme fits this game very well, and when coupled with a good story and incredible cast, the result is a game that is very entertaining.

The combat can get a little mundane at times and some of the weapons seem truly outlandish by Star Trek standards, but the cinematic pacing, outstanding storyline, and addictive multiplayer modes should keep fans of the FPS genre and Star Trek alike happy as a Ferengi in a Latinum-plated bathtub.

What it's missing is the wow factor; the amazement you get from playing a console launch title and a launch title sequel that's even better.

Whether you own the first game or not, if you love pinball, this is a can’t-miss release.

Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ will draw you in with its awesome premise, but it keeps you interested with its excellent shooting action. It’s a quirky, challenging, fun game that’s the DS’s sleeper hit of the season.

This style of game doesn’t work on the higher-end second-gen consoles, but does work here. The only unfortunate aspect is that the control scheme could have been a little tighter in allowing players to unleash the special attacks.

A nice title for anyone who wants to break into the MMORPG genre. It's easy to get right into the game and will build invaluable play experience you can use when you kick it up a notch with another MMORPG.

If you are itching for a good real-time strategy game, with heavy action elements, for the Xbox, then look no further then Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes.

A deep and enjoyable racing experience. The amount of tracks, the different drivers, and the Season/Career mode should please all racing fans.
