    Bratz Rock Angelz could be considered a snap-shot of the teen generation of 2005, and all that that implies. I don’t know about you, but I’m on the verge of weeping for the future.

    Gearbox has a solid franchise here, and if they can boost the graphics and bring the environments into play more, then they could rival "Call of Duty" for best WWII series on the market.

    Unfortunately the game can be beat in a mere six to eight hours, which just feels too short even when taking into consideration its mission pack status.

    Dawn of Sorrow can be expected to last between 10 and 20 hours and quite a bit longer than that for those completionists out there. That's a heck of a lot of game for $30.

    There isn’t much depth to the single-player game, but having a season mode is a nice addition.

    If the gameplay could match the options of the game, NBA 06 would be a contender for the playoffs.

    The AI provides a solid challenge against players, and online battles could possibly take weeks at a time thanks to the ability to save multiplayer games and come back to them later. The armchair strategist in all of us can always use a challenge, and Diplomacy more than fits that bill.

    A game that does well on visual and audio presentation and utterly fails in execution. With the worst set of controls I have ever encountered in a video game and some of the weakest A.I. I have ever seen in a squad shooter.

    Adding platforming elements is good idea but the poor controls made it a nightmare.

    Anyone who wants to experience the tabletop wargaming experience without purchasing all those little minuatures should take a serious look at this game. It offers so much detail for the retail price.

    While the game isn't flawless, there's enough fun and charm involved to make it definitely worth playing.

    Players will have seen every reference the game uses, but the ultimate combination is a fun game that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

    Everything except the combat is needlessly confusing and frustrating, as if they were purposefully trying to make gamers mad. In comparison, the combat is too simple and almost dumbed down to make this an RPG For Dummies, DS Edition.

    It is a tremendous value at the cost, and offers hundreds of hours of some of the best strategy gaming available to gamers on any system. [Review of Gold Edition]

    This is a clean, simple, and fun platform game that has plenty to offer gamers of all ages. Kids can enjoy it for the cartoonish nature and silly comedy, while elder gamers can use it to de-stress after the latest round of "Call of Duty" or "F.E.A.R."

    With incredible graphics, stellar gameplay, and an engaging story, Far Cry: Instincts stands proud as a testament to how good a game can be.

    A rental at best, pure and simple. There are vastly superior action titles on the market, and everything presented here played better in the first game.

    I had fun swinging and leaping about, doding the police and the enemy gangs, and just about everything else in this game.

    Be prepared to come with a strong stomach, as this game earns its "M" rating in spades.

    The fun of this game is that you can pick it up at any time and swing around for a while and then shelf the title for the day. It is a rare game that you can do that sort of thing.

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

    The fun of this game is that you can pick it up at any time and swing around for a while and then shelf the title for the day. It is a rare game that you can do that sort of thing. Even the full missions are short enough where you can plow through one or two on a lunch break.

    As with Neverwinter Nights, community will drive this game and a lack of it will easily kill it. Hopefully the community will pull together with Agetec's help (perhaps through a contest or something) and this game will give both classes of players plenty to do.

    I cannot stress enough how incredibly great this game is. The storyline, the graphical style and movie-like scene-shifting, the incredible score, the voice-acting, it's all top-notch.

    Another place that the game really worked was the social system that was put in place. It's not terribly deep, but each town had its own life and people in it. The world changed depending on the quests that you did. The game had a level of detail in it that made me feel like I was doing something.

    There's a ton of gameplay, it's simple, it's addictive and it's a heck of a lot of fun.

    This game is a great foundation – now would be a great time to expand on it and fix some of the minor issues to bring out the AAA potential in this title.

    A non-intuitive interface, some gameplay issues on the ice and little replay value.

    A vast improvement over its predecessor, just by adding online play and improving the character management system.
