    If you are going to use it, it's an inexpensive investment that's worthwhile.

    Gives a lackluster performance. The highlights of the game are few and far between, which make its flaws and mediocrity stand out.

    An excellent movie adaptation that delivers one of the most immersive gaming experiences on the Xbox. While it isn't terribly challenging and perhaps a little too brief, exceptional art design and solid gameplay make Kong a game you don't want to miss.

    While there are certainly flaws in the single player and multiplayer, the game’s fantastic visuals and engaging storyline make it a worthy addition to any Quake fan’s library.

    While PD0 may not be a revolutionary game, it can be considered a huge evolutionary step in the right direction.

    A fantastic PC title that didn't get watered down in the conversion to console. If this is the future of console gaming, I'm sold.

    If you are looking to sink your teeth into a challenging and graphically strong RTS game this may be what you are seeking especially in a time where there are not many options available in this genre right now. Just be prepared for a hard fight, and get ready to go it alone.

    With creepy moments that made me jump out of my chair, this title delivers on almost all of its promises.

    It is a solid game with only a few issues, and is deserving of a purchase.

    From mind blowing graphics and lighting effects and the brilliant experience of speed. The enormous amount of vehicle choices and racing options. Music choices out the whazoo, and stellar sound effects.

    The game comes with many buzzes and whistles even though some were left out, but what good are all the graphics and controls if the game falls flat on gameplay.

    While it is a fine experience, by making the combat system a little less complex Magna Carta could have soared above the other RPG’s being released at around the same time. As it stands now, it mostly likely will get lost in the shuffle.

    If you already have Madden NFL 06 for the Xbox, PS2, or Gamecube, you are best off waiting for next year's version of Madden for the Xbox 360. If you have the Xbox 360 and want to show off the graphics capabilities of the Xbox 360, then Madden is a fine choice to use.

    My suggestion is that this game should definitely be purchased, but if you're playing "Dragon Quest VIII," wait a couple of months after finishing it to play Wild Arms Alter Code: F, otherwise you're simply not being fair to yourself or to this great game.

    The framerate, bugs, and dopey AI put a damp cloth on the whole affair, but the graphics, outstanding storyline, and voice work all but make up for it.

    While the story is a bit cliché, the setting is much better than your typical fantasy or sci-fi fare. It’s unfortunate that the combat gets bland quickly and camera issues abound.

    Really disappointing. It's short, repetitive, and just not a lot of fun.

    If you don't care as much about getting really into the dancing however, the basic pad is just fine.

    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.

    I can’t overstate the power of the game engine behind The Movies. The possibilities are almost endless given that this game is mod friendly. Once fans get their hands on this game, we will get to see some incredible movies.

    If you want to have a shooter on the go, SOCOM is one of the few games to make a compelling portable shooter experience.

    Gun
    It's too bad that Gun is so short because I could have easily devoted more time to playing such a refreshing title.

    The minigames in this feel somewhat wasted and limited, but the party modes themselves can be a lot of fun, adding some definite multiplayer mayhem to the title.

    Once you get past some of the technical issues, the game pulls you into the storyline and doesn't let go until you've finished the game.

    Gun
    This is a great game, with a mature storyline and wonderful controls. I did not want this game to end when it did, though the story comes to a very well done close.

    The graphics are unsurpassed and absolutely stunning. Sound and music quality are professional grade.

    This game is cranked to a volume of 11.

    Sony took a year off from the NBA scene. Unfortunately, it seems like they could have used another year with NBA 06.

    This review isn't a knock on the game itself, but rather the PC port. Message to devs and publishers; "If you are going to port something to PC don't make it half-arsed because it can put a negative spin on the whole entire product line!"
