The storyline may be old hat, but that does not diminish the adventure. And this program does present an adventure that requires both cerebral and reflexive skills.

Has a depth to it -- maybe not in plot, but in the combination of fantasy and strategy -- that makes it fun to play.

Lack of game speed control, poor pathfinding and AI, and other problems put Dark Reign 2 at the lower end of the scale for RTS games.

On a slower machine, frustration sets in. But when played on a machine that allows the total scope of this game to shine through, it is a fantastic journey. Tough, you bet – but a lot of fun.

As groundbreaking as the original Diablo may have been, this style of role-playing game has been easily outdone by the likes of "Baldur's Gate" and "Planescape Torment," which concentrate more on integrating the character(s) with the story.

Compelling, great to look at, and a whole lot of fun to play. The options package gives the gamer solid control over the elements of the game and the storyline builds with each mission completed.

A mindless little distraction that requires reflexes, not brains.

Because Dracula Resurrection is too short, with little interaction, few options, no Count Dracula worth mentioning, and because the challenges aren't engaging, requiring that players be little more than undead (or brain dead) themselves, I suggest that only die-hard fans of computer artwork/animation bother with it.

A rich, dynamic program full of history and accented with multiple challenges that will keep any RTS player on his or her toes.

If you are not the squeamish type, and you enjoy RPGs, this game may give you that dark thrill you’ve been waiting for.

A real-time strategy contest where fast reflexes, faster decisions and military tactics combine to present an intense chess match for control of a planet.

A wonderful romp.

Could have been a 10, but interface, learning curve, documentation, and the 10 bucks a month brought it down a bit. In short... Thumbs and big toes up on this one!

Intriguing, delightful, spooky and thoroughly enjoyable.

It is compelling, addictive, fun, frustrating, well-designed and intriguing.

If you want action, thrills, or excitement, look elsewhere. You will find none of those here. If, however, you are interested in exploration and simply taking some time to view some stunning views of what the outskirts of our universe may look like, this game may have some merit that you might want to look into.

A cool title that offers gameplay that is both fun and challenging. While it won’t win game of the year bragging rights, it is still a pretty decent title.

One of those games you can play for hours, take a break and go back for more. Each mission is different as you have such a variety of planes to choose from.

Though UT isn’t supporting the curved surfaces like Quake III, the texture quality is excellent and the lighting is unparalleled.

Simply an awesome game - great in historical imagery, solid in sound and game play, and a lot of fun to play. The Age of Kings deserves its title.

Despite my grumbling about the artificial intelligence,...what I enjoy about System Shock 2 is the high degree of freedom you have in deciding what directions to develop your character.

A solid entry in the field, neither disappointing nor surprising me. I had fun with it, but it certainly won’t eat into my Tribes time. In the end, if you’re tired of Warcraft or the latest C&C expansion has lost its flavor, this is a pleasant alternative.

This is a tough game to control, and has enough twists and turns to keep even hard-core fans of the genre involved and challenged.

It is a really pleasurable blend of classic RPG and anime - two things that really do what games do best: Wrap you up in a new world and help you forget the real one for a few hours.

The interface seemed a little more complicated than it needed to be. For example, selling an item, buying an item and then inventorying your new item was far too more complicated.

The game does have a sense of urgency to it that will have you playing it for hours on end. The frustration lays in the conversation trees.

If you didn't get GB the first time around go pick it up and play it loud.

A good shooter with a great storyline and a great sense of atmosphere. However, the too-linear level design, predictable AI, and bugginess bog the game down.
