A shining example of excellent game design...Plus, it sets new standards for blood spilling in a single sitting.

It came as quite a surprise to me when Rush 2049 was not only a blast to play, but offered up an impressive amount of replay value as well.

I was extremely disappointed in the lack of real improvements to the newest Faceoff game, as I almost always am.

Whether it's eluding the NYPD's helicopter force's raining of missiles down at you or evading the powerful grasp of Venom, the action is relentless.

The graphics may be lackluster, but the music is worse.

More than likely to go the way of it's real-life ancestors -- except that no one's going to be looking for it so much as six weeks from now, much less a billion years.

I wouldn't qualify it as mind-blowing in any particular way, but each of the game's component parts is solid.

The most realistic fighting game ever. Period.

Although Sega GT does indeed look awesome -- better than any PlayStation game could possibly look -- it's nowhere near pushing the envelope of the hardware capabilities the way "Gran Turismo" does on the PSX.

The mission battles are intense, and the environments are varied. And the battle environments aren't just eye candy; they actually effect the strategy necessary for success.

Call me evil, but there is nothing more satisfying then overhead-smashing a ball right into the cute noggin of either Baby Mario or Toad.

Upping the slob factor, you can now select "slacker" as an occupation, lower the neatness factor, and voila! Suddenly you've got your own Richard Linklater movie.

A few aspects may appeal to those of us without a pilot license, but most players will have little desire to struggle with this game beyond the early missions.

It's a curio--something to buy if you find yourself overcome with Olympic fever; just bear in mind that it'll be in the bargain bin in just a couple of weeks.

If you're willing to look past some minor gameplay quirks and some initial frustration, "Madden" is a worthwhile purchase.

I'd only give NFL Quarterback Club 2001 a look if John Madden's voice drives you into homicidal fits of rage.

More of a rental than a purchase, unless you're a huge football fanatic who requires every pigskin video game.

Unless gamers are intimidated by the sheer chaos of Power Stone 2, this is likely to become one of the premiere party games for the Dreamcast.

When a football game's biggest problem involves the kicking game, you know you have a winner on your hands.

Scary it ain't, but D2's got its morbid charms.

Deep Fighter ranks only behind the superb "Resident Evil: Code Veronica" in bringing mood to the table.

In a word, it's crap.

Combines land- and water-based vehicles in a racing simulation that's nothing short of amazing.

Graphics, gameplay, sound, story, and characters are all outstanding.

"GameDay 2001's" crime is, plainly and simply, that it's not "Madden."

In and out of the ring, this product's nothing more than a jobber staring down the most brutal tag team ever to represent the "sport": "WWF Wrestlemania 2000" and "WWF Royal Rumble."

If the storyline were simplified, the objectives more clearly stated, and the technical glitches ironed out, then this game would be an absolute classic.

Although incredibly entertaining, unique, surprising, and well designed in nearly every respect, "Seaman" is not perfect, revealing many of the current limitations of voice-recognition software.
