If you’re an RTS vet who’s played everything out there, you’ll enjoy what Act of War: Direct Action has to offer. It introduces the small changes it needs to make it seem fresh, and Dale Brown’s tech thriller story line keeps you entertained throughout.

An entertaining, easy-going action-oriented RPG that doesn’t reinvent the gaming wheel—but rather cel-shades it beautifully.

Despite graphical plus points, Worms Forts: Under Siege! suffers the pains incurred through fundamental flaws that impact the gameplay quality and the overall experience a gamer can have.

Although it rigidly adheres to the gameplay mechanics of its spiritual forebears, it does successfully weave an interesting story, in an unusual and graphically lush setting.

For fans of the Mega Man legacy, this is an absolute must-buy.

As a game of tactics, it fails completely. As an action game, it doesn't deliver any thrills or sense of style. Ghost Recon 2 simply fails at everything.

Tremendous fun. The graphics, sound, story, and customization are top-notch. Most importantly, however, the gameplay is amazing.

So, even if you are weary of the WWII theme, don’t be so disillusioned by the overabundance of WWII games that you let this one elude you.

The one major downside seems to be that the character's moves list is fairly limited, so it does not take very long to get accustomed to each one.

While I thoroughly enjoyed Rave Master: Special Attack Force on GBA for its simplistic play control and Ranking mode, Rave Master for GameCube didn't quite measure up to the Rave-olution.

No, it’s not perfect and isn’t innovative, but it doesn’t pretend to be. It is a good romp of a FPS, quick and dirty, with a good blend of play styles and game elements.

Certainly not one that will turn heads or be remembered by anyone, other than fans of the series, after a few weeks. Wait for the bargain bin.

The half-decent and fairly challenging gameplay is offset by shoddy graphics, horrible sound, poor voice acting, and shallow character design.

Don’t be turned off by the Jedi-free element to this game. Republic Commando proves that the Star Wars universe has a lot more to offer, and ideas at LucasArts are still abundant.

Definitely one of the best games on the PS2. With excellent gameplay and graphics, Capcom has greatly raised the bar in the action genre.

The title’s reliance on the same ol’, same ol’ mission types, however, hurts this score.

If you're looking for a great single-player experience, a deep multiplayer mode, or a game where tactics and strategy are more than thinly veiled aesthetics, then this game is for you. Even if you're tired of WW2 shooters, Brothers in Arms delivers so many innovations that the game still seems fresh.

A fun diversion for fans of either the iconic comic book character or the shooter genre in general.

The developers behind the game have done an excellent job with their first expansion for The Sims 2. They already had a brilliant game to begin with, and the aspects they have added with University only work to increase that brilliance.

The audio, just like the visuals, is terrific. The ambience of battle, the Star Wars music, the sounds from droids and aliens; everything is done so well. You feel as though you're actually there in a scene from a Star Wars movie.

An undisputed heavyweight champion in every sense of the word. The sound moves through the ring with quick feet, the controls are swift sharp jabs of intuitiveness, and the graphics never fail to deliver a knockout blow.

Creativity and the will to venture into new territory has done good things for Mortal Kombat.

Boxing games will never be the same after the incredible and addictive Fight Night Round 2 that not only sheds new light to the genre but to another boxing classic of the NES days: Super Punch Out!

If things like open-ended environments, fatalities, counters, reversals, and fluid back-and-forth combat are more your thing, then your main fighting fix likely lies elsewhere.

Little more than a sub-standard platformer, relying on lackluster design to provide difficulty rather than genuinely challenging puzzles, tactical boss battles, or competent enemy A.I.

The sad fact is that Robots tries to draw you into a terrible game by way of a pretty package.

Other genre entries could learn a thing or two from this game for multi-functional weapons and minimized load times.

Even though this game was made a couple of years ago, platform fans will appreciate the simplistic but thoughtful level design.
