OutRun fan boys rejoice—everyone else proceed with caution.

It's a well done RTS game, but it's still an RTS game at it's core. You build a base, you defeat the enemy, and you move on to the next. You fight on land, you fight on sea.

Because of the rather boring combat system, it's a sad fact that Silent Hill 4 really isn't all that scary.

The chills and suspense that is a trademark of Silent Hill is still there, but the new aspects can provide an interesting twist to people bored with the old Silent Hill format.

With the introduction of polygons in Mega Man X2 in 1995, I never thought their use would result in a good X game. But this is the game I imagined the future would bring.

The Undergarden doesn't ever really turn into a bad experience, just one that most people will never go out their way to play.

Be warned that the control scheme is quite frustrating and the levels are reused more often than they should.

Path of the Ninja 2 is basically D3 making the best with what they had, and doing something impressive with it.

For 800 MS Points ($10), you are going to get yourself a decent old-school shooter with a new coat of paint shooter. If you are a fan of the series, or a youngun looking for a history lesson, at least check out the demo version.

In the end, you must head the advice which our dear bounty hunter has taken to heart, literally: BE THE BALL.

Bookworm is exactly what it says that it is, a game where a worm goes around beating up creatures using only the power of his words. If that sounds like a good time, and have fun with the daily word jumble, Bookworm Adventures is probably the right game for you.

If you are looking for an adventure game to play, you could do a lot worse than Muzzled. It’s defiantly fun for at least one play through.

A solid title that truly is "fun for the whole family."

With simple graphics and musical soundtrack, Rush’s $6 price point is justified. The controls are quite solid too, but being able to zoom in and out could have been nice but isn’t totally necessary.

With it short gameplay and high action, Wet will make the perfect weekend rental, especially if jacked up on Code Red Mountain Dew.
