    While the AI has its issues as detailed above, it does a good job of helping players learn how to be better poker players as well as some of the basics on how to bluff someone.

    A rehash of the previous game, so you won’t find anything new here, so you will want to consider that before purchasing the game.

    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.

    The difficulty and repetitive nature of the levels does eventually wear down on you.

    It just never really sustained my interest after the first three to four hours, especially after running into Pyro and dying over and over.

    Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends features the best balance I’ve seen in an RTS – ever.

    Sin Episodes: Emergence feels and plays like theater food. It’s a quick rush once you chow down, but as soon as the sugar starts digesting you start noticing things you’ve seen before.

    This is the kind of game that you can play with your kids and not be bored to death. It is light co-op arcade fun that delivers on its promise.

    If you have a young child who really enjoyed the movie, they will probably enjoy the game. It's a neat way to try to introduce them to some stealth gameplay as well. Unfortunately, if you aren't young, you will easily find the game too boring and repetitive.

    This is not a title to sit down and play five minutes worth before you run out for errands. But if you devote some time to learning about horses and the racing itself, Gallop Racer 2006 is surprisingly rewarding.

    There have been a lot of games throughout the last two decades that have pulled off great run-and-gun gameplay. The old school title Alien Syndrome comes to mind, as does Crusader: No Remorse. If you are looking for an updated version of either of those two titles, you can’t go wrong with Shadowgrounds.

    Unless you have the patience of a monk, you’ll be better off getting one of the previous games in the series and playing that.

    Developer Crystal Dynamics has done a fantastic job with a very damaged property.

    It’s a solid game, but with GRAW for the Xbox 360 and BF2 on the PC, other better options are available.

    Don't let the shortness of the game dissuade you from the experience, it's worth just about every second of it.

    Those who are up for a challenge and don’t throw their controller in frustration easily are going to have a good time with Tourist Trophy.

    Avoid high expectations, and rent.

    While the first FSW was considered somewhat revolutionary, it was something different and unique, only one sequel later the game seems a bit one dimensional and stale.

    The intuitive map editor can add a lot of life to the game.

    Rumble Roses XX could have been a contender against DOA4 and still set itself apart from the fray. Instead, the game comes off as juvenile with plenty of moves that would only seem to be appropriate in movies you’d find in a dark hallway in the back corner of the video store.

    This is the game I have been expecting to find in the previous titles, one that lets me make the battlefield and kingdom decisions rather than being pulled along by the story.

    It is time to move into the Next Generation of hardware with both feet and create a new title from the ground up with new concepts and new gameplay elements.

    Imagination will always substitute for visual splendor if a story is told in a genius way, and Space Rangers 2 does exactly that. This is one for the record books, and simply must be played.

    Blazing Angels is a victim of its subject matter. Maybe this is why there aren’t many WWII air combat games.

    At no point in your life should you ever play Monster 4X4 World Circuit. Even if there's money on the table, you'll come up a loser.

    There is no real feeling of "competing for the conclusion" that most games have. This is really just mindless, goofy fun.

    I was frustrated by the drawbacks in the title, especially the tiny text on the in-game radar as well as some of the differences in the tutorials between what was being described and what actually was on screen.
    • 71 Metascore

    So little was changed between the two titles that it really feels like a quick hack job to make a quick dollar.

    Tactical games never had it so good in the Ac!d series.

    It's hardly a unique video game, but it is a very fun one and at the end of the day that's what counts.
