This game is what you make it- if you find you're not enjoying it, try something drastically different. As in all Sims titles, the only limit is your imagination.

The slight improvements on defense and better looking character models just aren't enough to turn this game into a winner and one can't help but feel that more time should have been taken to develop the game.

If you’ve ever wanted to have your own little personal Star Wars at home, do yourself a favor and pick up Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords.

This game could literally be re-released in mere months with sliders, higher difficulty modes and more options, ala Ninja Gaiden Black, and sell like hotcakes.

If you are looking for an RTS that doesn’t get too in-depth, or if you are just looking for a cool new Star Wars game, look no further than Star Wars: Empire at War.

Aside from the aerosol adept and the just plain curious, Getting Up holds little appeal.

The game also has a number of bugs that freeze the game up during battles or when you save.

It's neither too short nor too long, and the few genuinely pulse-pounding battles are worth the price of admission.

The slower pacing of the game is more reminiscent of a traditional RPG. Therefore, if you like your RPGs with the traditional save the girl story while gaining levels and fighting random battles, Legendia will surely please.
