Despite its dated gameplay style and way-too-numerous battles, Tales of Phantasia is an enjoyable role-playing game fans of the genre will certainly enjoy.

What self-respecting Tolkien fan can be without this title? While the game does have a few stumbling points, this is a well-done RTS that enables players to experience the turmoil of the fantasy world, or just to create their own legacy within this fantastic realm.

It is deceptively simple to play, yet engrossing enough to make you think about it in your sleep. I seriously will not play the game within a few hours of bedtime.

It's thrilling in a way that gets your juices flowing.

Linear mission structures and forced grouping – with no crafting, housing, PvP or end-game – make DDO: Stormreach a short experience.

Be prepared for a odd mixture of other games with the 24 presentation and story.

This is one of those games you’ll look forward to, have a brief amount of fun with, and then wonder what went wrong.

Ys: The Ark of Napishtim falls short in innovating or creating something fresh from an old idea.

Sadly enough, the game has all the right elements but it’s too hard to ignore flaws do a great job of overshadowing the good stuff. This is not a bad game, just a poorly designed one.

It’s not only one of the most bland racing games available but it also manages to take a list of gorgeous cars and an interesting concept and make us wish we were playing a much better game than this one.

The Show is THE baseball game to get. It's got the best batting and pitching controls, the most entertaining mini-games, and the most replay value.

Quite simply the best handheld baseball game you’ll own on the PSP. Think of this more as a tighter, extended version of last year’s game with shaper visuals, better sound and a Career Mode anyone who calls themselves a baseball fan will simply go bonkers over.

I can forgive the horrible controls because so much attention was given to the story, the graphics and even the gaming experience.

A great game, an accessible shooter with mainstream appeal, just what the Xbox needs in its twilight hour.

Final Fight: Streetwise is mediocre, and that's it. The mini games aren't inspired and as simple as they get, the fighting system is fun but gets old, and the story is boring.

Surpasses the original, giving gamers a title that's worth playing and worth getting addicted to. On the down side it suffers from the same repetitiveness that other sports games have to fight so hard to avoid.

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

The great controls, fun game modes, interesting track design and vehicle mixing make this game a real treat. The really long load times, no major career mode and lack of online play will make fans cry.

An average animal simulation game at a budget price. Worth a look if one loves African animals, but players wanting deeper strategy in their simulations may want to pass.

This is a good fighter but it could have been much better. Still, the game is entertaining, challenging and looks good.

The overall game is very solid, and it really is pointing out excellence to say that the only complaint is a faint lack of anything new. Galactic Civilizations II is an extremely well developed game.

For a light session with a favored city, this is a fun enough game for short periods at the computer.

The series’ most notable feature – unparalleled speed – was somehow lost on this installment. Frustration prevails, an element I hope is excluded from all future Sonic releases.

A bit disappointing. A portable version of Monkey Ball this is, but perfect it is not, and that's too bad.

I’ve always wanted a Gundam RPG. Despite its many issues, I’m glad Bandai finally took the steps necessary to make it happen. It’s a flawed disappointment, but it was worth checking out.

The PvP system is flawed and that dampens the experience and entertainment factor. Sure, there is an adrenalin rush, and you have to keep on your toes, but it does grow old after a while, and players who find themselves being ganked continuously by squads of PvPers who are exploiting the system may soon head for other pastures.

This is a title that is fit for the Asian style of gaming, which means it is long on grind.

The amount of variety is good, with lots of powerups, goodies in the gear shop, and all sorts of different gaming modes for single or multi-player. But the tracks are schizophrenic, and uneven in design. Some are frustrating, and some are too easy.
