Nothing has been improved in the six years since PSO. Worse still, PSU actually managed to take steps backwards (level design, story, online play, mission counters, equipment, mags, etc) and ruin the memory of the Phantasy Star legacy.

The bottom line is Perimeter: Emperor's Testament is a flawed diamond.

There simply aren’t enough positive elements to the presentation of this game to compensate for the repetitive battle and wonky camera.

I cannot recommend this game for adults, kids, or even a rental, unless you plan to find humour in a so bad it's good kind of way.

Simply put, this is one science experiment that should have been buried six feet under.

The engine, while used well in previous titles, is a poor choice for this game. The linearity of the title is constricting and aggravating when it feels like there’s a big city full of Others waiting to be explored.

Penumbra: Requiem, as a game, doesn’t know what it is.

If you're starved for strategy and like the idea of open-area, semi-persistent medieval battle scenes, Bladestorm might make sense. Unfortunately, you won't find rewarding, patient strategy, or dynamic action within.

There's just not enough to attract a lot of people to this game. The story feels non-existent, the characters are dull, and the puzzles mind-numbing.

All in all, Great War Nations: The Spartans is just such a generic game that it’s hard to recommend at all.

It’s just not a fun game.

The typically anime characters are great for a laugh, and you occasionally learn a medical term or two with which to impress your girlfriend, but overall, playing LifeSigns is like being operated on by a chimpanzee without anesthetic.

The real-time strategy mechanics are just not done well, it's as simple as that.

In the end, Front Mission Evolved took the concept of third-person mech combat and took all the fun out of it. It is hard to not compare it to other games like it because the other ones got the core of it right. If Square Enix decides to take the series back to being a tactical RPG, I wouldn't blame them.

Even at a lower price point this game offers very little to justify spending any money on it as the likelihood that you will return to play very frequently is slim to none.

StT is as weak as licensed kiddie games get. It's a boring, shallow experience that features none of the whimsy and hilarity of the films.

While the game is a budget title that still doesn’t excuse its myriad flaws and failings.

Conflict: Denied Ops is not a thinking man’s title. It’s a game where you can just play and run and shoot things and grunt.

Unless you're a serious fan of boxing games seeking a fix while you wait for the next Fight Night game you may want to pass on this one.

Untamed is a perfect example of a franchise paying heed to a platform almost out of muscle memory more so than anything else.

The Nintendo DS has other logic games in its repertoire that are more exciting, stimulating, and feel more like a complete package.

I’m just as surprised as you may be to hear that the replay value I found in Stacked is actually quite high.
