    An over-the-top bloodbath classic comes back and delivers great online play, as well as good presentation for a retro title. “Get over here!”

    Homefront's campaign misfires all revolve around poor pacing and a lack of identity. It's not as polished or as fast-paced as Call of Duty: Black Ops or Bulletstorm, but it's also not as tactical or true-to-life as Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Its multiplayer, where those issues aren't a problem, is worth a look, even if you have to pony up for $10 when renting it without an online pass code.

    TimeShift is an entertaining shooter with a different take on the tried and true bullet-time mechanic, but feels like there were a lot of golden opportunities lost. Still, you won’t regret your time spent in TimeShift.

    There are lots of save points but they can sometimes blend into the background making them hard to notice. The jumping around can get tedious and I found myself sometimes at a loss as to which parts of the background were interactive and which weren’t.

    The game isn’t half as technical as, say, Capcom’s Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, but where SFA3 was complex, DBZ is just more accessible.

    Everything about it screams "average", from the relatively enjoyable but repetitive gameplay, to the nice but not spectacular graphics.

    A hodgepodge of ideas that work pretty well together, and at least give this series a fresh direction after many years of the same old stuff.

    Honestly, anyone interested spending over $40 on a game like this would be better off with Super Monkey Ball.

    That being said, the game mechanics are definitely learnable for the patient (and determined), and taking the time is extremely rewarding and enjoyable. The title drew me in, the game piqued my interest, but it was definitely the humor that kept me coming back again and again.

    It’s not the most attractive or colorful problem-solving game compared to the recently released Lemmings, but it’s still briefly addictive.

    Sure, the driving is fun but the twitchy handling, tough repetitive missions (especially the poor shooting sequences), generic sidequests and flaky police AI all conspire to reduce the fun level.

    The new 3D effects are nice, the Xbox Live support is great for replay value and the great 2D-like gameplay is still here, but it's all been done before and it has been done better.

    Whether you'll like Ghost Squad or not comes down to how you enjoy light gun games.

    Overall the multiplayer experience is sort very vanilla. This is mostly because the games don’t feel very innovative and the formula itself has been done more than Paris Hilton by the Mario Party series and other Wii mini-game titles like WarioWare and Rayman Raving Rabbids.

    MotoGP 09/10 certainly isn’t the worst motorcycle racing game on the market, but it’s definitely not the best either.

    From collecting stars in a Sonic-like fashion to helping Mr. Bean find his lost children, players of all ages will become enthralled with its high level of gameplay, addictive nature, and high amount of replayability- especially if you love playing with balls.

    Turok has a lot going for it in the next-generation, more than it did in the last generation with Turok: Evolution.

    I am very done with the Matrix universe and I don't think I want to play games in it anymore. Serious Matrix-philes have probably already given Path of Neo a look and moved on. I suggest the rest of you do the same.

    Fans of RTCW: Enemy Territory will love Quake Wars. Hardcore shooter fans who enjoy teamwork will also love it.

    The Wonderful End of the World has everything going for it. It's a fun game with a distinctive look and a fun soundtrack. It's a bit short, but the levels are replayable as you try to unlock the bonus level or try for perfect A+ grades across the board.

    Metal Slug series fans and arcade game fans will probably track this bundle down and will gladly add it to their collection without hesitation, while those that have never experienced such a game should rent it first to see if it suits their taste.

    It's a solid RPG with a good battle system, but it's just a little too familiar to be a great game.

    You can argue that Link’s Crossbow Training could’ve been fleshed out with additional levels and modes.

    It's short length, combined with a very forgiving Easy (AKA "Penguin") difficulty level, means that most experienced 1942 fans will blow through the whole game in an afternoon. But if you are a fan, this reimagining is very rewarding indeed.

    If you love retro throw backs, this is one of the best collections I've ever played. Atari Anthology is cheap, it is loaded with bonus features, and it comes packed with some of the biggest video games of all time!

    Fans of action games would be well to seek out the game and Spider-Man fans should consider Spider-Man: Web of Shadows a must play.

    It is, however, one of the best unplugged titles of 2005 yet. Given the problems between the lack of originality compared to the first one and the problematic AI, doesn't level out Rise of the Kasai's success with that of its former entry.

    Though it does have something to add to the RPG genre, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World does not deliver enough to be considered one of the great.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Despite some problems with the iffy lock on system, lack lustre presentation and the average story, Blinx 2 is still an overall fun title.
