    The boss battles and incredible cutscenes are compelling enough to keep you going, but the tedious fodder battles and inconsistencies stop the game from living up to its maximum potential.

    A good game. It just has no longevity and should just be a rent unless you are really hard up for a shooter.

    Order of War isn’t a bad game, it’s just not a very good game for the typical PC RTS gamer.

    Hydrophobia shows what true water physics can bring to a game. It showcases the water well, but that isn't enough to carry the game completely.

    I've been following the Smackdown series ever since the original game back on the Playstation, and the one thing I've noticed is that the randomness has gotten less with each successive game.

    If you are willing to spend time with the control scheme, then you can find a satisfying experience, especially if you enjoy playing online. If you are the kind of person who enjoys the singleplayer experience, then you may feel slighted by the weak campaign.

    It is obvious that K2 took special care with the story for both characters and creating some nice levels, but they forgot the whole gameplay, camera and dumb AI issues.

    I really wish that when companies port console titles that they put some effort into understanding the PC gamer perspective.

    But, If you have ever wondered what it would be like to play multiplayer Warcraft III without the base building and minion control then I think you should definitely give League of Legends a shot. The fact that there are only three maps to play sucks, but the developer is committed to constantly updating and adding to the game.

    Piranha has long promised that “community warfare” will address this lack of endgame, but that feature has been delayed so often that it’s hard to be sure if it’s ever coming out. It’s a bit of a shame that there’s so little reason to keep at MechWarrior Online. The matches themselves are fun–and as it is free-to-play, there’s no barrier to entry–but without any form of metagame it’s hard to stay engaged.

    The gameplay and controls are solid, and the Nail the Trick mode is a fantastic addition. If you haven’t selected a Next Generation system yet, you might be able to squeak by on this last title, but it is really time to retire the PS2 versions of this series.

    I am disappointed that this version got so poorly ported over from the PS2 version, and it should at the very least recommend the use of a game controller on the box, but ultimately it was a fun children's game that my son very easily picked up and enjoyed.

    While the game doesn't break any new ground in the JRPG genre, it does help to the fill the JRPG void that the Wii suffers from.

    Taken as a whole; Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a fairly good package.

    Those who like motocross freestyling and want a simpler trick system should enjoy this game.

    It's disappointing to have a game that shows so much promise, and yet could have been so much more.

    Stranglehold is a fun time for action gamers but the major problem is it's over way too quickly and there aren't many compelling reasons to come back to it. I liked it but I wish there were more to it.

    One upside to it is that the game is roughly six to eight hours in length so if you have a weekend to kill then this one may be up your alley. It certainly looks pretty, sounds great, and the ragdoll physics are put to great use. It just would have been nice to play a challenging game instead of one where nothing is balanced out.

    Even after going through the tutorial and starting the first scenario....I just found myself yawning at the screen. The game simply isn't aimed at me, which doesn't make it a bad game...just one aimed at a very small slice of the gaming populace, even smaller than strategy fans in general.

    I just want to take the time to request that everyone take notice of Conquest mode. It’s really a shot in the arm for sports games and should really be present in every other title in the genre.

    The difficulty varies greatly, and might frustrate the game's chosen audience.

    Space Invaders Extreme 2 is a fun game, and it will only set you back $20.

    While it won't quite help you to "learn a new language", it will give you a good foundation in Spanish and set you up for an easier time learning what you need to become fluent.

    A solid effort, and fans of the series will definitely enjoy it. The lack of multiplayer is a big hit against it, especially in a game aimed at children and pre-teens.

    This game will have limited appeal, and only those who are fanatics of King of Fighters are likely to pick up this game.

    It does play a bit slow at times, but building a powerful deck during the game is fairly easy.

    It’s the best looking, most enticingly put together football game this year, but playing it is about as enjoyable as watching The Jets get mauled the first few weeks of this season.

    If you aren't into fighting games, the breakneck pace and split-second timing required by the game might put you off the genre for a while. But if you like fighting games, and you've already played as much of Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix as you can stand, you won't have to feel guilty about picking this up.

    If you really loved the movie, then you will want the game.

    Still, for any PC gaming Middle-earth fan, I think this is a title worth checking out at the very least. Sure, there may not be much story here, but being able to (potentially, with paid DLC) play over 36 characters from Middle-earth and have them fight against each other is definitely entertaining. For people looking for the next big MOBA title to catch on, this probably isn’t the title for you.
