The sheer volume of the game is immense in size.

Sega Rally Revolution is the kind of game anyone you know could pick up and start enjoying immediately. It's not the deepest game you'll ever play, but it is fun and an excellent way to kill some time on the weekend.

Rough around the edges, but the story and setting draws you in from beginning to end.

The story mode seems a little short. It also seemed very easy, which could be part of the reason it seems so short.

I've come away impressed. It has its flaws: inconsistent AI, lack of fast transit, and lack of in-game character customization, but at the core this is a very good game. The license is used beautifully. I'll go as far as to say that this is the best implementation of a movie license to date.

This is how updates of games that are just over 20 years-old should be: classic, timeless, and modernized in all the right places. FFDI is such a great package that a recommendation couldn't come easier.

As long as you go into this game expecting an intense John Woo thrill, you will not be disappointed.

It is refreshing to see a game that knows who it is and doesn't back down. There is a lot to get from experiencing Fever if you have the balls to try.

So close to being a legendary entry to the NFS series but crew racing hampers it down. AI should never win a race for a player.

The storyline progresses in an entertaining manner, to keep the gamer glued to the TV for hours. Despite the short length of the game, which is on average 15 hours, Second Sight packs a lot during that time.

Metro 2033 is a different experience; it's one fans of the FPS genre might've never indulged in before.

The game felt rushed, it was short, and the multiplayer was lacking.

Madden 10 on the Wii is enough of its own game that it feels like a fresh entry into the Madden franchise. It's like the supplemental reading to a literature course. It isn't a huge concern if you don't cover it but it provides a different perspective on the same subject.

Fans of the FPS genre should definitely give the game a shot for the stylish, adrenaline-pumping firefights, but they shouldn't expect anything as groundbreaking as the first game felt.

While fun, expect the bunnies to outlast the gameplay.

Band Hero can stand apart with being aimed squarely at the angsty tween crowd.

The squad based gameplay is otherwise what you would expect from one of the better WWII franchises. The feeling of watching your team pull off a precisely ordered flank and flush maneuver is still as rewarding as ever, and something that most WWII games can't match.

Graphically, it's unimpressive but serviceable. Nothing is really outstanding except the creature designs and the blood effect.

Although it's highly recommended to putting large emphasis on playing this title with a group rather than alone, the entertainment factor provides a fresh, new feel to the overall spectrum of video-games as a whole.
