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

    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.

    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.

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

    Really Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is a failure in just about every aspect. While you can enjoy the game, especially the online or Arcade mode, a good bit there's almost nothing to make this game something that anybody should own.

    The poor animations, and more than anything, the lax controls, make this a game that few will play more than once.

    Fatal Fury Special is not worth the points to download. The game is tougher than a two dollar steak, and has aged about as well as milk left behind a radiator for a month.

    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.

    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.

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

    With an online guide opened and at the ready, the frustrating aspects of the game can be avoided and it becomes easier to enjoy, but I don't count a good game one where I have to constantly cheat in order to play it without throwing my controller into the television.

    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.

    If you're a fan of the series, more than likely you've already played a version on a home console. Save yourself the money, play that, and purchase a set of DVDs instead. Trust me, it'll last longer.

    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.

    This one's a definite pass.

    The detail that has gone into the realism of the ships and locations is noticeable, but that doesn’t make up for the lack of any real interesting gameplay.

    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.

    Driver is in need of a serious tune-up.

    Sure, the game was designed for kids, so I can overlook some of the over-simplified and repetitive graphics, sound and even story, but the gameplay is just awful.

    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.

    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.
