    • 88 Critic Score
    An outstanding game. The concept is not entirely original, but it is definitely fun.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The controls are good but the camera angle was always an issue after a cutscene. Waiting several seconds to correct the angle is not a welcomed featured.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Much of the humor is geared towards younger ages, but there were still parts that I, a hardcore action and violence gamer, chuckled at.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    While the experience is short and simple, the game has a diverse collection of minigames that should keep younger fans interested for a while.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Turn-based strategy that'll turn your life upside down.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    One of the best games ever for the GBA, and one which will probably be the best game for the GBA this year.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The variety of gameplay types is considerably higher than most action/adventures, let alone games with a movie license attached.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Sure you’ll miss the features found on the bigger boys (Owner Mode or even Spring Training Mode) but there’s just no denying how good this game feels in your hands.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The graphics, gameplay, and concept are all well done. There is a bit of a learning curve, but players ease into the complex areas of the game.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Its camera system and length certainly hold it back from getting a better score, but the gameplay itself is a lot of fun.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    While Supreme Ruler 2010 is not the prettiest game in the world, it does have a lot of depth that will keep players coming back for ages.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The controls are a bit sluggish when it comes to targeting and the game’s load times are typical. The game is also a bit linear and the puzzles are not particularly detailed.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I try to play it alone in the dark, by myself, late at night, and I'll be darned if I haven't gotten scared more then once. For me, that speaks volumes.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Even though the DS does not have an analog control, the game is really responsive.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The biggest thing that make this game get such a low score is non-responsive controls and framerate issues will make you want to slam your precious PlayStation Portable against a brick wall.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's a shame that there were so few Nintendo themes and so much of only a few genres.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    But the tracks seem to be an issue this time because they just feel broken and incomplete compared to the first TrackMania. In the first game I didn’t have the sense of having to replay the tracks over as much as I did with TMS.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    By letting players customize their avatars to a high degree the developers have given a world of possibilities to the players. The two notes that bring this game down to Earth are the graphics and the sound.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    While those who have not taken to the Jump to Lightspeed expansion may feel a little forced to do so (and make sure you have the right ship), the game combines new missions that drive the story and give players a much better sense of being part of the Star Wars universe.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    If you can stomach the disturbing images (I did) and like your adventure games on the dark, sinister side, then take this game for a spin, chances are you will enjoy it in spite of the little problems the game has.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    AC2 Legions is about average for the genre, but the interface is a bit clunky is places, especially when compared to the recent heavy hitters like "World of Warcraft" and "EverQuest II."
    • 60 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The game is short and easy, so you can get to each movie sequence pretty quickly. That also means that, once you've seen the clips and desire good gameplay, you don't have anything to look forward to except more of the same.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    While it plays like the GBA version, the DS gets good multiplayer action worth the purchase price alone.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    If the game was a little bit longer (it takes less than ten hours to beat), had less repetition, and the controls were just slightly more refined, this game would have been a whole lot better.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    I wanted to like this game so much, I thought the premise was awesome, but when it was game time, the experience left me wanting to play a better-built game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Bad weather conditions are unnecessary for Enthusia. The controls are either stiff and awkward, or overly slippery.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It's the best game I have played on the PSP so far, it has lasting appeal and plenty of game in it's tiny disc.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's got several challenges, three endless modes, and more speed than any Puyo Pop game before it.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The computer AI will always provide you with a nice challenge.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The only thing that really kills the gameplay is the drop in framerate, which can kill the action onscreen at times.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    A strikingly deep racing sim that delivers on most of the areas where Gran Turismo 4 faltered and then some.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    First and foremost it was really nice playing a game that is not set in the normal historical RTS timelines.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A strong basketball title with few thrills.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    If the graphics and audio were sharper, this could have been an editor's choice, it's that fun. But given that it is a value-priced game, the spit and polish isn't there, too bad though, this game is addictive.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    A thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced adventure in a wonderfully rendered world. Guild Wars does a lot of things very right, including some of the best PvP in a current MMO, and does so with a flair and style that is addicting and a joy to play.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A game that has tremendous scope and hours of replayability. At the same time, the sheer number of things to do are also a drawback, as it can get confusing.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The implementation of a few new features just might be enough for fans of the original Outbreak to warrant a purchase, but if you like your gameplay to be slightly more evolved than your brain-dead enemies, you’ll find little satisfaction from playing this game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The game’s battle system allows for some truly ‘tactical’ confrontation, in which you can win (assuming you play well) when out numbered and out leveled.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    With the poor controls and boring levels Rengoku doesn’t feel nearly as fluid as it could.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    At times it will get frustrating when you think you have a Pac-Man drawn, and it doesn’t spring to life.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It’s a surprisingly well-done FPS that not only looks good but also feels good on the PS2.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The analog stick is not the PSP’s best friend where FIFA Soccer is concerned but other than that the game flows nicely once you get the hang of things.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The levels are well designed and there's enough action here to do the genre justice.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    If you love puzzle style games or games with an 80's arcade feel to them then you may have something here. Otherwise, I'd say take a pass.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With very little to offer in terms of level diversity, an actual story for the game's Adventure mode and some jerky control issues, the fun just doesn't last for very long.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    DFX is designed for the casual gamer in mind and has a zero learning curve. You can pick up and play and have a blast for a MSRP of about 20 bucks. You gotta love that!
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Stolen could've been a good game, but the inept AI and poor controls make this game more of a chore than a fun experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A decent action game that could've been much better given more polish and some focus on the controls and balancing the AI.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The storyline is unique, the graphics are great, and the dialog is many times down right hilarious.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The gameplay in Wrestlemania XXI is lousy, with unresponsive controls, boneheaded AI, and frustrating hit-detection issues, making the game absolutely no fun to play.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This racing game is made for lovers of all things GM. No, I'm lying to see if you're paying attention. If you don't love Mustangs, you won't like this game.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    What it doesn’t have is perfect controls. They’re slippery, and oftentimes make it extremely difficult to win without over or under-steering. You really have to master how the game is going to react to each situation and adjust your skills to match.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    An entertaining military FPS game that can be a frustrating and aggravating at times.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It is a breeze to get started and there are helpful hints to aid those new to the genre.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    I think I may like Lumines a little more overall, but I really do think the multiplayer is easily the game's strongest selling point.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Does a great job of blending classic FPS action with some third-person platforming elements and brings the Unreal series to a whole new level. The gameplay modes are plentiful, online and off, and the AI is very smart and puts up a good fight.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It falters in the single-player game just a bit, but there’s enough here to satisfy veteran poker players and hook newcomers in with a wide variety of card games, mini-games and a really great multiplayer mode.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It works, but we have a sense of been there and done that. What keeps the game interesting and compelling is watching the growth of the main character.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Linear gameplay, long loads and some crashes did nothing to endear this game to the shooter’s heart.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    MLB
    MLB may stumble a bit rounding first, but it easily makes the turn at second and barrels into third with big league-style graphics and intuitive gameplay.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    A fantastic RPG game that not only lives up to its hype, but also far surpasses it by featuring some incredible gameplay, an engrossing storyline, and a huge amount of polish.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The gameplay is still repetitive and uninspired, the graphics still weak and the storyline still overly cheesy.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    We’ve seen importing tuner games and we’ve seen illegal racing games but not at the addictive and exquisitely detailed level of Midnight Club 3.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Considering the complaint that is always out there about how videogames make people lazy or fat, this is definitely the answer to that complaint. This is a really good title for the man trying to convince his woman to buy a PS2.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good deal for the money, which can be as little or as much as needed, as it's designed on games actually played, not a monthly fee. It's the real game, with nothing hokey added. Fans should be pleased overall.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    It not only outshines the competition with its addictive racing modes (and one killer online multiplayer mode) but it also offers enough goodies for the import tuner crowd to sink their teeth into.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Not quite what I was hoping for.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It doesn’t even have those pop-out-and-say-boo moments that the first two Resident Evil games were famous for. That, combined with clunky gameplay and lame monsters, make for one obscure game.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The story line is interesting but it’s not something that you haven’t seen in a horror film already. Obscure will be more than enough for gamers looking for their next scare, but will leave other gamers looking for more.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The unique gameplay and puzzles, as well as the balanced increase in difficulty, makes for an addicting and rewarding experience. There may not be too much replay value in this one, but it’s definitely entertaining enough to give it a shot.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The crashes are silly, the music is hard driving but the commentary is not the best. The racing is only average.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    With a few friends (or online), you may have some fun for a time, but more than likely its clunky controls and limited offerings will quickly become a bore.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    I think that the folks over at DreamCatcher may be on to something with the cool location and the introduction of multiplayer play, but the final end product left me wanting so much more.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With easy-to-get-into controls, fun mission scenarios and a highly addictive multiplayer mode this is a game that should not be ignored by those who have worn out their copy of "Full Spectrum Warrior" or "Rainbow Six 3."
    • 51 Metascore

    From the controls to the tracks, MX World Tour is a very barebones and plain presentation of the world of motocross racing.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    This game is not for trigger happy individuals because the goal is to try to keep everyone, yes that means the enemies, alive.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This could have been a dark and edgy game, but rather than unleashing this beast, the developers pulled back to make it a standard tactical turn-based combat game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The combat is well realized with the only drawbacks coming with camera perspectives, though you can learn to deal with that early in the game.

    It's made for kids, but you'd have to be pretty jaded and close-minded to ignore the fun that's to be had by playing this game.

    This is what an expansion pack should be – not in terms of new weapons or monsters, but in terms of size and adventure.

    If this game doesn't have your heartbeat up, you are likely a casualty on that Mars station and fighting against the lone Marine.

    This is one game, perhaps the only game, where it's a compliment to say that the graphics are blocky.

    • 87 Critic Score
    While the GameCube version isn't as complete as the Xbox version, the overall quality of the gameplay is intact and the Cube exclusives are an excellent touch and worth the price of admission.

    The acrobatics are solid, but the blood spilling seems a little much for a stealthy warrior. Red Ninja could have been much more than it is, and what it is is an average tale.

    • 75 Critic Score
    The game is no way lacking button mashing. If you have a little pent up anger, or are just tired of thinking and want to take a break from what’s going on around you, Dynasty Warriors 5 will be just what you’re looking for.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, the game falls prey to some all-too-common problems, like weak AI and a buggy camera. If you are a ninja fan looking for something new, then you should be satisfied with a rental.
    • 75 Metascore

    A few imperfections aside, the game is an enjoyable experience for those willing to put up with its slow pace and vast locales.

    The story for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory feels like it was taken directly out of one of Tom Clancy’s novels.

    Great game and with it being as challenging as it is, I can’t see this title becoming shelf material anytime soon.

    With gorgeous visuals, a great story and fantastic multiplayer modes, this one is a complete package.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Some of the elements are well realized, the environments look good and the sound is well done, but the AI and repeated “terrified” civilians, fails to elevate this title to the ranks of solid tactical combat shooter.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    I am really enjoying playing this title. The little movies you can watch about the characters, the Illustrations you unlock as you fight your way up the tower, the werewolf that latches on to you and starts spilling blood like it was cheap beer.
    • 79 Metascore

    Head-On is the first top-of-the-line multiplayer game designed for a handheld. It's vehicular combat at its finest. It's satisfying, but will leave you hungry for another bite.
    • 78 Metascore

    I totally love this game. I could rate it higher if not for some terribly slow load times and putting problems.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The options package is rich and once into a level/scenario, the game moves well. You can waste time in doing freak outs, but there is a purpose to it and players will find the controls work well on the platform.

    Gorgeous graphics, solid gameplay, and a wonderful audio track make this version of Spider-man 2 a winner. This is one game that gamers deserve to see on the PSP, simply because of the “wow” factor.

    The best part about this remake is the ability to unlock the original NARC from 1988, but only if you can force yourself to play long enough to do so.
