The graphics are top notch as well, very clean and distinct. Items are easily recognizable and the line of sight is strong.

Well set up, because you set it up, but an effective and fun combat system.

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.

Telltale Games keeps the series strong with Baddest of the Bands — it’s a rockin’ adventure that is bound to keep fans of both Strong Bad and point-and-click games happy.

It will definitely provide many hours of addictive fun and entertainment, and getting both EU II and Crown of the North for one purchase price is well worth it. RTS fans that are action buffs may not be as hip on the politics side of the game.

Far from perfect, the game comes on strong with enough realism and excellent control to shake a bat at.

This game is not for trigger happy individuals because the goal is to try to keep everyone, yes that means the enemies, alive.

This game really surprised me with the overall quality they have brought to what is really an overworked, overexposed franchise.

There is an absolute ton of stuff to be found in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion including the Aht Urghan themselves. New character classes, new and frightening looking monsters and more importantly new experiences in a world that needed a shot in the arm.

You will find yourself just goofing off in this game for a long time, collecting comic books, destroying various different properties, and doing a lot of other things because it is just fun to be a mean green wreaking machine.

A few flaws aside, Pandora Tomorrow on the PS2 is pure stealth-action bliss and if you liked the original Splinter Cell you’ll love this one. It’s beautiful visuals will blow you away and its online multiplayer alone is worth the price of admission.

The controls are top-notch -- even the thumbstick is usable, and it works flawlessly.

It’s harder, faster, and more realistic than its true competitors (motorcycle racers), but has what it takes to stand alongside the greatest racing games.

The action is intense and immersive, and the Star Wars theme carries the game along nicely.

The game has enough extras, graphical improvements, and secrets that it does a great job just being itself and not another port.

Simplicity is what MLB 2K5 shoots for and it's simplicity the game achieves, and - for the most part - it works well enough.

An outstanding game. The concept is not entirely original, but it is definitely fun.

With a great story and plenty to do, the replay value makes this a game worthy of a purchase.

The control scheme is simple to understand and getting into the racing is easy.

Our favorite hero still controls just as well as the series’ second outing and now there’s robotic backup you can issue orders to when the going gets rough.

This is a game that only a dedicated few will enjoy, but those players will find a game that’s as deep, rewarding, and fun as they come. Etrian Odyssey II is the very definition of a “cult” game.

EVE Online: Apocrypha brings more territory to discover and explore and a softer learning curve.

There are moments when the button-mashing action gets a bit old but suddenly the game tosses in cool boss battles and some truly unforgettable moments Marvel fans will definitely love.

The “Open Ice Control” that the developers implemented in NHL 2005 really expands the entire gameplay, since it adds more strategy to every play that you might go through.

While the cars don’t control realistically and motorcycles feel slightly awkward, the wonderful terrain and the entertaining racing challenges make this an Xbox 360 game racing enthusiasts will definitely enjoy.

The players do all look larger than life, but the nuances of the graphics really breathe life into this title and the control scheme – while taking a bit to get used to – works well.

A solid and fun action game featuring one of the coolest superhero teams ever. With an excellent story with plenty of twists and turns and a host of familiar characters, fans will certainly have a lot to enjoy despite the linear levels.

The jump and action buttons are very responsive to what Peach needs to do in order to save her friends.
