It’s like playing "Final Fantasy" without meeting any monsters. Pretty to look at, but ultimately a little light in the game play.

If you like your games brainy and scary, Alone in the Dark is just the medicine the witch doctor ordered.

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

Whereas last year the controls seem looser than Madden’s, and therefore more intuitive and fun, this year they seem way too easy.

Technically speaking, Silent Scope 2 isn’t much of an advance over the original Silent Scope, and in some ways it’s actually a step backwards.

Don’t let the soft controls or graphic glitches deter you, though. Arctic Thunder still has some fun in the engine, mostly in the breakneck pace of the races.

The best PS One fighting game to come along in a while, and probably the last great fighting game for the PS One.

There's so much more wrong with the game (especially the lack of multi-player, and password save system – would a battery have cost that much?) that even the great sound and mediocre game play are swallowed up by this product.

It sits squarely in the middle of fun and boring.

Nothing new if you’ve played the PSOne version, but a blast if you haven’t. Another problem -- it’s over way too soon.

For Dreamcast gamers who like to pilot their systems solo, Ooga Booga just seems like one long, boring trial.

Just too basic to really hold much interest, and it’s too difficult to figure out for such a simple game.

A true sleeper out of left field, packed with depth, style and replay value.

The soft AI doesn’t make its way into the Quarterback Challenge, easily the most fun part of the game (and developed well, it could turn into a game on its own).

Everything we could have hoped for – great new levels (with just a touch of the old levels left in), vastly improved graphics, and another great soundtrack.

But what Blue Planet did was to add elements of animation to the backgrounds, which are at once beautiful to look at and extremely distracting.

The create-a-player mode (welcome to the 1990’s - it’s 2001 already) and dunk editor didn’t make us bat an eyebrow...It’s an unwelcome rehash of a franchise that screams for a complete overhaul.

We take off an extra half point for the high overall difficulty of the game, rendering it all but impossible to play for anyone but the most seasoned war simulation veterans. On the other hand, it is incredibly realistic.

A quality football game with an excellent pedigree behind its game engine...the most serious deficiencies being in the undeveloped legacy mode and the horrendously bad commentary.

Worth the effort for gamer who likes their puzzle games fast and tough.

A fairly dry, emotionless golf simulation that’s competent in execution but lacks inspiration.

It's all the fun of the original in the palm of your hand.

A well-rounded, challenging game without much flash or innovation.

Although there are a few minor annoyances, it’s unbelievable speed, mind-blowing tracks, and great upgrade selection make this a definite sleeper hit for racing fans.

It's not perfect, but it does capture the all-important essence of seat-of-your-pants racing against other human opponents in officially sanctioned events better than any other console game ever. And yes, that includes GT3.

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.

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.

Check it out if you love to fish, or if you just want to spend a lazy afternoon with a beer in one hand and your rod in the other.
