    Is it the best 2D fighting game around? Those that argue that "Marvel vs. Capcom 2" or "Street Fighter Alpha 3" are better forget that it's basically the same engine. SFIII:DI will put you to the test with better AI and harder opponents.

    Shooting fans will love it, and Star Wars fans, too -- but hardcore gamers will wish something more original was piled on to this "Rogue Squadron" update.

    There's also a smoothness to the throws and fielding that looks great, and the pitching animation is as realistic as you could hope for. There are even different animations for when a fielder loses one in the sun.

    The graphics in this miniature version do the game perfect justice.

    It has everything a classic game should - good, inoffensive graphics, sturdy controls, and replayability - and it leaves a satisfying cramp in your fingers when you're done.

    A solid action strategy title that fans of the genre will appreciate.

    More of a thinking man's boxing game, full of strategy, personality, and fire. Take the career mode for a spin and you'll fell all the pain, frustration, and joy that a boxing career will bring.

    An excellent adult plot, cool graphics, and style to burn make this a must-have in the adventure genre.

    It's not a perfect simulation of driving in the same way Sega's own "Ferrari F355 Challenge" is, but it's close -- and with a lot more cars and races to choose from.

    It's probably the scariest game of the last ten years, giving a face to the nameless horror that haunts many of our dreams.

    If you compare it feature-by-feature to the other versions, you may come to two conclusions – it’s not as good, but it’s still as cool (and fun) to play.

    One of the best things about Train Simulator is that like its flying cousin, this is basically an open-source graphics and physics engine that anyone can expand on and add objects, trains, routes, and activities to.

    One of the best looking water games with lots of tricky entertainment and wet fun for everyone, newbie and pro, to enjoy.

    The best version of Super Mario 2/Mario Brothers on the market. If that’s what you’re looking for, buy this game. If you’re expecting more than a port of a ten year old game, though, you may be disappointed.

    A fantastic and playable miniature Spider-man that’s fun and visually appealing. What more could you ask for in a game?

    Needs a little more time in the development pot - there's real sparks of fun and imagination here, but the sluggish pace outstrips the game's pick-up-and-play feel.

    Its solid visuals, imaginative tracks, tight control, and over-the-top physics model make it a winner in the arcade racing genre.

    The addictive nature of Puyo Pop makes it one of the best puzzle games ever.

    This is one beautiful title to look at, despite the rather lackluster character designs.

    The game’s best aspect by far is the sound – and the hours of dialogue which make up the base of the game’s audio.

    It's a worthy successor to Rogue Squadron, with a great branching storyline, reachable objectives, and great graphics and sound.

    Zombie shooting at it’s best – and lets not forget the "Devil May Cry" demo. If you’re thinking about buying RE:CVX, you won’t be disappointed. You’ll be grateful for the dead.

    It’s a well-crafted and loving tribute to the original, but it definitely spices up the action with a new millennium look and feel.

    A game with a porpoise, and that porpoise is to entertain the witty and insightful gamer. This is not a fishy fighting game.

    The three alternating characters make the gameplay diverse enough to warrant repeat play, and will suit gamers of all persuasions.

    A strangely cool and addictive game. But we have to take a point off for what is sure to be a limited appeal.

    You'll want to play the game with the Japanese voices and English subtitles on. It looks cool (like your playing a Kurosawa film),and the Japanese voice acting is far superior to the English voice acting.

    Silicon Valley is truly one worth the wait. Original in every sense, wild, wacky and crazy. Adults, don't overlook what appears to be the average kid's game. The gameplay and puzzles are devilishly clever and you'll have hours of fun with this one.

    A very intricate, engrossing, and abnormal RPG. If you like things a tad on the bizarre side, Persona: Eternal Punishment is right up your alley. People who should stay away from Persona 2 are novice players.

    If you're either bored with or overwhelmed by standard realistic PC flight sims, give this one a try.
