The game itself is long, but without an interesting story, fun characters, or even challenging puzzles, this version of Blinx just misses the opportunity to make up for the first outing.- Gaming Maxx

It’s an addiction, a very good one at that, where you can make up to 2,999 new friends for just 9.95 a month. A MMORPG that set its own standard on the PC world has indeed set another one on the console world.- Gaming Maxx

Horribly stiff and unfriendly controls, a tedious plot with unskippable cutscenes, a graphics engine that slows down with alarming regularity and a general lack of the magic that makes a truly excellent game.- Gaming Maxx

Those looking for a brake from "SOCOM" will sadly be disappointed by what this game has to offer with a simply laid out list of options which simplify the game to a point where its no fun at all.- Gaming Maxx

There are only three words to describe most of the game’s controls, which are simple, precise and responsive. The games controls are just perfect and are some of the best I have played with in any racing title out on any console.- Gaming Maxx

Don't get me wrong, Ratchet and Clank is an awesome platformer in length and gameplay and just about everything, just I preferred "Sly Cooper’s" gameplay more.- Gaming Maxx

You can literally do anything you imagine. You can kill police officers, civilians; pick up hookers, etc with more than forty weapons at your disposal you will be frothing at the mouth. This game truly is a winner in the gameplay department.- Gaming Maxx

"Timesplitters 2" will appeal more to those who were into "Perfect Dark" or 007 types of games. Red Faction II will appeal more to those who like games such as "Halo."- Gaming Maxx

Edges out "Red Faction 2" just by a hair. "Red Faction"'s single player mode is much more intense but lacks the cooperative campaign mode that Timesplitters 2 did.- Gaming Maxx

The only thing about these simple controls is that the game’s response seems too sensitive to each use of the d-pad. Simple, and yet, they still have some gripes.- Gaming Maxx

NFL 2k3 seems to be aimed at more for those who have a touch of arcade football within them while "Madden 2003" is for the hardcore simulation gamer. Overall I would choose Madden 2003 as the winner of the football crown for this season by just a hair.- Gaming Maxx

A sleeper hit that is not only enjoyable on the eyes, but the action, the story, and the maturity of the game really spice up the title. While the game is short, a game that leaves you yearning for more has to be good.- Gaming Maxx

A refreshing change from the old 3D fighter molds we see a lot of today. The character's unbalanced strengths is definitely a weak point and can make this a frustrating game for some, so I give you that warning.- Gaming Maxx

Camera angles at its best. There is no need to control the camera angle if it's already position in the best possible matter – which seems to be how the camera works all the time. This is perfection at work.- Gaming Maxx

Though the shortness of a game may sound like a flaw, it’s really not. In ICO’s case, a longer length would have made the game quite tiresome as puzzle solving & pulling the girl from he pits of hell could tend to get a bit repetitive.- Gaming Maxx

For what it sets out to do, that is to be a home version of the arcade game, 18 Wheeler gets a 99% perfect score, since the only thing missing is that extra driver. But as a game you play at home, it's just way too short.- Gaming Maxx
