    The game starts off a tad bit slow, but once you are engrossed in the story nothing is quite like it (except a movie that is a tad bit similar to this game). I will be returning to this game once some more mods come out and when the vehicle mod is perfected.

    The game that will replace "Lumines" to satisfy my quick puzzle game craving.

    The number of choices are amazing; from armor, to skill set, and NPC party members you have thousands of possible choices.

    Don’t dismiss this game just because it is a budget title, it’s definitely got some hook to it. If these guys had a bigger budget, this would be a hit.

    The setting is nailed down perfectly, and EA has taken care to get great voice acting and music.

    The game was a joy to watch my children play. I enjoyed the 1-player experience for a while, but quickly tired of some of the tedium.

    Not many games reach this level of polish and immersion. The brutal action, the fantastic sound and voice work, the incredible cutscenes, and the well-crafted storyline makes for a complete package that rivals any game you’ll find on the shelf.

    While I was happy to a beefed up version of Wii Sports Golf, with more control over your swing, I was a little disappointed that the on screen representation of my swing wasn’t in time with what I was doing, like in Wii Sports, and I was really disappointed that my backswing was completely stopped at some times too.

    The PSP controls just don’t seem to handle shooters that well. This is amplified by the sluggishness and slow response time by the action buttons. RtV could have been a good game if it had more compelling characters and a better control scheme.

    If you are dying for a course editor, then this might be your best bet at making your fantasy golf course on the go. Otherwise, the game is largely forgettable.

    It makes a lot of changes without alienating the core gameplay ideas, and adds a nice coat of polish and variety on top of the previous Battlefield 2142 content.

    If you have a PSP and want some Sudoku on the go, this is a great way to get your fix.

    On the one hand, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is a modern adventure game with upgraded production values and a compelling premise. On the other hand, it’s kind of a disappointment in terms of gameplay, relying heavily on pixel-hunting reminiscent of the bad old days of the early point-n-click adventure games.

    The overall package falls short in several areas, but it does bring the series across to the Next-Gen platforms, and enables a very easy multiplayer mode. The next game should be that much the better.

    The game is a triumph for simulation fans, and is moderately accessible to new players.

    In this day of me-too action games, you could definitely find something worse than Chili Con Carnage.

    While I really like the Warriors series of games....it's time for an overhaul. The game needs a full graphics engine overhaul, much better voice acting, more cut scenes, and some solid depth.

    The bugs in the title really frustrated me (and many others), and while there are workarounds, the players really shouldn't have to work around bugs and lapses in development, especially since some of the bugs were carried over from "MLB 06."

    A rock solid RTS.

    While some fighters try to blow you away with the number of characters or some other new gimmick, VF5 brings a high caliber fighter with more substance than most other games in the genre.

    Even after completing Crackdown I find myself continuing to play it. I can’t say that many games stay in rotation after completion for me these days, so don’t take that statement lightly.

    With the fantastic Mod community already churning out quality mods, this game will have the staying power that "Command and Conquer 3" might not have.

    The game falls incredibly short. While the story is engaging and is driven by the dialogue, there is just too much dialogue and not enough gameplay.

    A great game. It’s detailed, well thought out, and planned. It has real science in it. It has real politics in it. It has drama and it has humor.

    It looks great on the PSP screen, and it offers as much content as any of its console cousins.

    15 hours worth of dungeon-crawling fun. There are enough challenges, random things to do, and sheer fun to keep people entertained for the entire length.

    The game is looking better every year, and controls are getting sharper.

    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.

    This is a very nice RPG, and if you enjoy Japanese RPGs at all you owe it to yourself to pick up this title.

    While playing through Rogue Galaxy, I kept on thinking that this might be what "Final Fantasy XII" might have been like if you were able to control the characters during battle.
