    Two Thrones takes the best of what Sands of Time and Warrior Within had to offer – great environmental puzzles and exploration and a deep combat system – and finds a way to balance all the elements to create one fine game.

    A wonderful, innovative advancement for Sony’s peripheral. The game has wonderful graphics, sound and options. The only problem with it is that setting up can be irritating and the camera is still imprecise.

    I have no idea how Konami expects to sell more than six copies of this game. The members of D12 might buy it to put it in some self-idolizing shrine, but nobody else should go anywhere near it.

    Though it is very linear and very short, it is excellent at creating a rich visual, audio and emotional experience in an extremely cinematic manner.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The game is fairly entertaining, but doesn't set any new standards in the industry. It simply feels like the developers tried to make a halfway decent game that uses the Kong name to sell a higher number of copies.

    Personally, I’m not entertained by its gameplay because it takes little to no focus or attention to play through it. But where’s the fun in that?

    If you're an Xbox Live gunplay junkie, this game is for you. If you want something to match the story and immersion of Perfect Dark, you might not be impressed.

    This is an extremely poor copy of Nintendogs. The visuals are nice, the music is easily ignored, and there is some worthwhile puppy variety (18 breeds isn't bad), but its boring gameplay is repetitive to the point where you just want to die.

    It’s an average action/adventure game for the Neopets fan; everyone else is strongly discouraged from playing.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Makes for a great experience while it lasts and should give players nightmares for weeks.

    Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends is an ok game, but I’m sick of the blatant milking of this cash cow.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NBA Live 06 showed a lot of promise with its great graphics and sound, but the developers lost the ability to satisfy fans by yanking every major advancement created in the series up to this point.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The level of detail in the courses is outstanding, as are most of the player models, but it only features half the number of courses and a less involved career mode.

    Unless you’ve got an urgent need to launder $60, there’s not a single reason to go out and buy FIFA 06 for the Xbox 360. Go out and by the far superior (and cheaper) FIFA 06 for the PS2 or Xbox – both versions are excellent.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    If you can only pick up one or two of the 360’s launch games, you might want to hold off on dropping $60 on a bare-bones edition of a game you already played.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Just an extremely enjoyable, beautiful, nostalgic, and engaging RPG for the PlayStation 2. This charming, atmospheric RPG is not to be missed.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    While Kingdom of Paradise does have several faults, the most hindering being the camera and the lack of a proper blocking mechanism, the game is still the best RPG on the PSP, and also one of the handheld’s better games.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    Tedious and boring with very few games and they quickly get repetitive. Some of them hardly even utilize the camera.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Riddled with errors, glitches, catches, freezes, clippings, and resets. If you can endure the insane amount of problems and don't mind that you'll routinely run into errors that'll force you to restart from the beginning of the current primary mission, you'll get some marginal enjoyment out of the title.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It seems that Konami knows that the novelty of the gameplay has worn off and made a number of attempts to freshen things up a tad. Unfortunately, those attempts severely fall flat and what you're left with is a game you've seen a dozen times over, just with a new soundtrack.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Without a doubt, WWE Smackdown! Vs. Raw 2006 is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, wrestling game ever made.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Offers a unique perspective on moviemaking and its gameplay style is refreshingly original. If you're a movie buff, or love Sims-type games, The Movies is for you.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Fans of Harry Potter may be disappointed that the game doesn’t quite reflect the darkness of the movie or book, but Goblet of Fire certainly does some things right including impressive graphics, sound, nice 3-player co-op and easy to pick up gameplay. The real problem with the game is the camera, AI and repetitiveness.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Zipper Interactive managed to create very smooth, simple controls for a unit without a second analog nub (a minor miracle), and brought along all the SOCOM visual treats and gameplay nuances that fans of the genre crave, and the PSP enabled them to do this all in style.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It looks decent enough, and, excluding actual voiced speech, sounds decent enough too, but the overall package is a meager offering in a very competitive genre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Gun
    It has great presentation; fantastic voice work; fun gun- and horseplay; and a free-roaming world that lets you do almost anything you want. However, even with all these great elements, it's too short to enjoy it all.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game is especially entertaining the first time gamers sit down and play it. Unfortunately, unless gamers are fans of the karaoke genre, the game does lose its novelty quickly.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    As pretty much the only non-shooter/non-sports game on the Xbox 360, you have to get this game just for the change of pace, if not for the fantastic platformer/adventure experience.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    There is no other way to describe Guitar Hero other than it’s a fantastic game that’s a blast to play.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Looks, feels, and plays exactly like every other Mario Party ever made. The new 8-player games, new boards, and new minigames aren't enough to differentiate it from anything else you've seen served up by the pudgy plumber and friends.
