    There’s enough good stuff present in Cloudbase Prime that it’s not hard to imagine how the game could be reworked into something significantly better with just a few tweaks, but as it stands, it’s feels more like a promising demo than a fully fleshed-out game.

    I am passionate about the Star Wars product and want it to be a great experience top to bottom, so don’t get the wrong idea with my criticisms. I very much like Battlefront 2, it improves on everything from 2015’s game, but it still definitely needs work. Over time this could become the definitive Star Wars multiplayer experience but it’s not there yet; content over the next six to twelve months will be key and how EA treats consumers will also be important on the success of this game. The bigger question I have is; will all these problems at launch doom the title before it really gets going. As DLC was released for 2015’s Battlefront, I saw less and less people playing and had a much harder time getting into match ups. Hopefully that isn’t the case here and we can see this community thrive off what is really a great game that just stumbled out of hyperspace.

    A potentially brilliant RTS title sadly damaged by a lack of polish, TA: Kingdoms is still a hugely entertaining experience if you have the hardware (and the patience) for it.

    In the end, this feels like a love letter aimed at a very specific group of fans, and I'm sure those fans are thankful for a chance to remember this oft forgotten franchise.

    For the first DS FPS out the door, Goldeneye: Rouge Agent will more than fit the bill on both the lack of titles that have been offered the last couple months, and the lack of any real action titles too.

    As a PS Eye game goes it stands out as a winner in the eyes of this reviewer, even if only for the technical prowess. Kung Fu LIVE ...for the most part...works.

    It’s a marked improvement over the original Sims port, and "Urbz: Sims in the City," and you might find it to be right up your alley.

    I imagine if you can get a group of friends together to check out multiplayer it'll help extend the life of the game quite a bit as well, and I definitely suggest it to both players that have never tried Populous before, and to those that remember the game from back in the day.

    If you found no redeeming qualities whatsoever in Episode 1, then you'll probably be pretty underwhelmed on what Episode 2 manages to deliver, but if you got some enjoyment out of the previous entry then I think you'll find this second act worth your time.

    Quirky, frightening, addicting.

    If you like the show, own the cards (of which there's a booster pack inside), and know character names by heart, you'll love it. If you're anyone else, it's a toss-up.

    As far as pack-in games go, it's a decent time waster if you've not picked up anything else to go along with your new toy, but I can't see this getting the endless amount of play time that something like Wii Sports, or even Sports Champion, seems to get.

    The gameplay isn’t as deep as expected and most average gamers will have no problem cruising through the entire game in a few short days. Regardless, the colorful, lush visuals, dramatic soundtrack and variety filled gameplay should provide a pleasant next-generation fantasy romp for most gamers.

    It's with a sigh of unfufilled expectations and through clenched teeth that I say Def Jam Vendetta is the best US wrestler this generation.

    A weak story and uninteresting side-quests and characters keep The Surge 2 from reaching true greatness beyond the original, but it is clear that the developers ARE learning and improving. Although it may not be a better game overall, the combat improvements go to show just how good a future title could be.

    Can be as mundane as real life... You’ll have to invest virtual sweat and tears to make it a worthwhile experience.

    It's nagging qualm falls in an area of utter frustration, but when compared to the great visuals, crazy multi-player action, wide range of characters and all the other positives, there is no doubt that "Fur Fighters" is an entertaining title.

    To quote some great song titles when suggesting Army of Two: The 40th Day, all I can say is that "One is the loneliest number", and "It's takes two, baby."

    While Vexx builds adequately on the 3-D trail blazed by "Super Mario 64," there are others who have taken the next few steps.

    The thing is, it all gets old fast. There are only so many times you can grind your way through battle after battle in a quest to level up so you can beat each dungeon's end boss before it starts feeling like you're just doing the same thing over and over again with little reward.

    This is great fun for a pack rat like me as well as others with similar RPG tastes. The biggest drawbacks of this game are the disjointed story and the generic characters. However, don’t allow this to discourage you especially with the great battle, skill and alchemy systems in the game.

    So while MX vs. ATV Untamed is a solid Offroad racer, it hardly offers up anything new for the franchise.

    The two on two and twenty-one varieties have been done very well, but no one has been extremely successful at anything where you control more than two players at a time.

    Area 51 is the antithesis of what first person shooter fans want. It is actually a better offline title than it is online.

    One of the best PSone games to hit the shelves in a while, and if it wasn’t for the virtually unclimable spike in the difficulty curve halfway through it would easily rank as among the best PSone games ever made.

    I can’t imagine there’s a huge audience for this out there, but for those elusive few holdouts, now is as good a time as any to jump in.

    In the end, I feel like Warriors Orochi 3 is still a great game, but Hyper Edition certainly isn't a standout port.

    It'll be compelling to people who loved the world of the original Steins;Gate and are desperate for more. If you don't have that background, then Steins;Gate 0 will seem mostly incomprehensible to you. It makes the occasional half-hearted stab at explaining what you're reading, but for the most part, this story is all about moving things forward. Not only that, it does so through the kind of massive info dumps that tend to typify some visual novels — and your mileage will undoubtedly vary in terms of how much you like that sort of thing.

    Thy Sword may be different from the dozens and dozens of other games that fit within its genre, but it’s only a slight difference. In the big scheme of things, it’s still a platformer with ideas and a look that first came into fashion a couple of decades ago. Whatever your thoughts are on games like that, this game will do nothing to dispel them.
