Eye of Judgment is unlike anything the gaming world has seen yet. Eye of Judgment is aimed at a specific audience so that doesn't make it for everyone.- Kombo

Graphics are not top notch, not even close to it. Make no mistake, this game is a port of a PS2 game brought to Xbox 360 and it looks even less impressive than the Xbox version.- Kombo

It does sound limiting but when you get online, that is when the fun kicks in and you have a blast. With no lag and many games available to choose from, you won’t remember having a better time playing a party game.- Kombo

If you're a huge "Black Arrow" fan, stick with it. If you've never played a Rainbow Six game before, then this is definently the one to start out with, as it is far more forgiving, and will probably get you hooked on the series.- Kombo

The biggest downfall is the racing itself. Aside from Quick Race, you have to do more solo practice laps than I cared to do. I wanted to fight for position and not try and constantly beat my old time by me being the only car on the track. When the big race finally came, I was bored of the track and wanted something else to do.- Kombo

The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces does a lot of things right. Unfortunately, the game also falls a bit short in a few areas, and doesn't even get off the ground in others.- Kombo

Graphically impressive and a lot of fun to play, but has stiff competition from the system’s more glorified racers like "Project Gotham Racing 3" and "Need for Speed: Most Wanted." Basically, Ridge Racer 6 comes in third place.- Kombo

Where "Grand Theft Auto" was rather playful in its depictions of crime and violence, Manhunt is simply very blunt and all too real. It doesn’t attempt to present itself as anything other than what it is: a grim and somber representation of cold-blooded murder.- Kombo

Katamari fans who have not played every game in the series will most likely get more out of Katamari Forever due to the recycled content, but it's solid entry in a quirky franchise regardless of your past Prince experience.- Kombo

While there are some great games on this disc, total duds like Kozmik Krooz'r, Arch Rivals, and Pit Fighter, make MAT2 an uneven compilation in the end. For a better group of games, check out the first "MAT."- Kombo

The moments where teamwork is highlighted are the best moments in the game. It is curious why those weren't capitalized on more throughout. Even the co-op is compromised from FTB3 being designed with grander battles in mind.- Kombo

It is inexcusable that the multiplayer mode is so underdeveloped. It is as if Rockstar came up with a nice innovation for a multiplayer mode and forgot (or simply didn’t care) to complete the programming of it.- Kombo

While the general controls are fun and easy, the uber moves are too difficult to pull off. This will be the biggest turn-off for most gamers. The game is just too difficult in this regard.- Kombo

This game needed a tutorial to explain itself better. Not even the instruction manual provides ample information to arm you with the knowledge to play at a beginner level. You need to do a lot of trial and error runs to get caught up to speed on what works and what doesn't.- Kombo

I hope to see the community surprised by the shockingly high production values which its single player holds. That being said however, the multiplayer game of Call of Duty: Finest Hour is practically a throw away. The game modes are generic, communication poorly chosen, and fun level is shockingly low.- Kombo

Mini Ninjas was a bit of a surprise, I'll be honest. The game didn't receive much hype, and I don't think the name does it any favors. It's not that Mini Ninjas is a particularly bad name, but it does evoke an initial impression that the game might be meant solely for the younger crowd to enjoy.- Kombo

Mortal Kombat II can't hold its own in today's market like some titles from the Golden-Age of gaming. The nostalgia runs high with the digitized sprites of the fighters and the color swaps of costumes to make three fighters out of one (Reptile, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero) but it won't last long.- Kombo
