It does what every great game should -- keeps you guessing as to what might happen next.

But said frame rate is so bad that not only does it distract, it actually affects the gameplay by ruining your timing -- taking turns is often a case of guesswork as the game jerks along at somewhere between 5 and 10 frames per second (that is not an exaggeration).

A solid stealth ninja game that is a pleasure to play.

It's as good as a game like this can be -- the only negative is that we've seen it all before.

3D terrain, AI that for once is actually more intelligent than artificial, lots of things to build and most importantly pretty explosions when something blows up.

This game needed a hell of a lot more graphics optimization, and a bit more work on the control would have been nice too.

It's still a better outing than other wrestling games out there, and if it weren't for "Smack Down," this would be the king of the ring.

Pretty vanilla, as RTS goes.

This is knuckle-busting controller-breaking button-mashing action all the way, and it still works as well as ever.

It's jolly good fun and should be examined immediately.

Not only is it a fun, clean, and interesting platform game, but it includes the original game as well -- two games for one low price.

If you think of it as "Road Rash" up close and personal (and want to see a game like that), then go ahead and break these balls.

One of the better looking shooters around, with spectacular special effects, "Gunship" is a worthy contender for "Freespace"'s throne.

More than just a celebrity cash-in, this is a great first-person shooter.

It doesn't have the longevity that we'd like, but it's one of the only games in the series to really make you feel like you're playing war with the plastic men you grew up with in a fun, satisfying way.

This is a thoroughly disappointing effort, and one that does not live up to the World Series Baseball name.

You may find yourself saying things like "well, it was only ten bucks..." at various points while playing the game, but the fact is there are worse games than this that cost a lot more.

Little more than a rehash of the earlier game, "Fighter Destiny 2" would have been acceptable in 1998, but feels extremely dated today.

It's all fun and cute until you bust a cap in a bear's ass and watch him wiggle and die.

It's fun, whether you're playing solo and trying to complete the Crazy Box-type mini games or going head-to-head in the four-player mode, and it will instantly become a party classic.

A great fun game, the only small drawback being super easy battling compromised by super cheap attacks later in the game (Magneto is pure cheese).

While we wait for the next Microprose effort, this is a fine way to pass the time.

There's nothing all that special about the units or the missions, and there's absolutely no innovation to the gameplay itself.

It's not going to keep you up nights either; it's simply an amalgam of traits copied from more successful franchises, with a few new innovations that don't really add much to the gameplay.

Fast and furious action, great sound and gameplay -- it's the best 2D fighting game ever made.

Another addictive dungeon romp. Kiss your free time and hordes of demon butt goodbye.

Inoffensive, cute, and somewhat challenging, "Kirby 64" won't slay you with great graphics or spectacular gameplay, but it will keep younger gamers interested for quite a while.

As good as any other espionage thriller out there, "Deus Ex" is bolstered by a fantastic storyline.
