Capcom used the only good idea they had for a RPG featuring the Blue Bomber with the Battle Network series, and even that is running out of steam. Mega Man X: Command Mission was poorly executed in every stage of development, and it's hard to imagine even die-hard fans of the series enjoying this title.

Point blank…if you need a serious bare-knuckle fighting game in your collection, look no further. Def Jam: Fight for N.Y. is everything the hype boasts about and then some. Solid, diverse gameplay makes this title one of the best fighters this year.

A decidedly average Star Wars game that is extremely fun as a rental, but wears thin with repeated play.

I also have to say that I've only played the game as Brandon and Juji. This is because Rocketbilly Redcadillac is the single worst character ever created. Imagine Vash the Stampede with a guitar that shoots bolts of electricity and talks like a hick. (Or more precisely like the English voice for Chou from Ruroni Kenshin.) Not good times. Bad times.

If there's to be a Gradius VI, please, Konami, ditch the insistence on the six power-ups. Give your weapons a lot more variety, give the multipliers options, too. Equip them with say, rate of fire and damage boosts, maybe even so AI so they stray and stay locked on to the boss when the player gives the order. Anything but the same maps, system and enemies we've fought before, only in 3D.

Sly 2 is a fun game, but players will have to look through several layers of unnecessary makeup to find that fun.

Treasure threw together this game that, beyond the art style, barely resembles the original game at all. In fact, if not for the cameos of the original game's characters at opportune times, I would have sworn that this wasn't a sequel, thematic or otherwise, at all.

Mark my words, just as "Grand Theft Auto III" was a glimpse into the future, so is Fable. Be a part of gaming history. Get the game, enjoy it for what it's worth and for the love of Master Chief... Take your time.

#Reload doesn't bring anything new to the table from the other GGX2 releases. It is simply a slightly more detailed version of a fighter that's starting to show some of its age.

If your first Takedown doesn't get your blood pumping, then find a job as a bomb squad technician or try and get a spot on the Olympic Air Rifle team, because apparently nothing affects you.

If you're just a passive Pokémon fan looking for a new pickup, this isn't worth it for you. Stick with Ruby or Sapphire, and that will be plenty of Pokémon for you. Remaking a game that is only 6 years old just smacks of laziness, and Pokémon fans deserve better.

All in all this is a solidly built offline title that stalls and dies once you try and take it online.

Overall, SRS is a fairly average racing game that seems to rely too much on its one gimmick of winning girlfriends and not enough on actually being a fun racer.

As it is currently, Spy Fiction is just going to be slumming with "Cy Girls," "Lifeline" and the rest of the gimmicky MGS look-alike also-rans.

It reeks of desperation and greed, as if Capcom just threw this together to make as much money as possible. They include the most obscenely difficult and unworkable version of Street Fighter 2 for one part of the package, throw in the forgotten spawn of the series for another, and top it off by including a lousy licensed anime movie instead of any other Street Fighter game.

This game isn't as revolutionary as I'd hoped, and what was changed for the most part was changed in a way that I didn't like so much.

A blast for most of the first disc, and then quickly tapered off as the game pulled a "Xenogears," Disc 2 and turned into a movie with button presses. It’s not quite as bad as Xenogears, but still, when you have a story and dialogue that isn’t exactly going to knock your socks off, gameplay is what saves your game’s proverbial bacon.

This title lacks the coherence and the qualities of a confined, scary space that helped to make the first part of the series so great.

The game has sped up considerably, allowing for a much more exciting flow to the game. The goalies have been made more realistic, as opposed to the brick walls standing in front of the goals in last year's game.

The Guy Game features tons of questions and the inclusion of the Spring Break girls is an original twist on an old concept; after all, "Hollywood Squares" was doing the same shtick even before "Street Smarts."

A solid little title, despite annoyances like imperfect control and an inadequate save system.

The main issues that would sway a WWE fan away from this game would be the underachieving roster, the unpromising story mode, and the hair-pulling AI.

This game easily lacks more depth than any game that I have played in the past year, if not longer.

There's a lot of repetition in the levels, and the fact that Astro Boy's weaponry is for all intents and purposes unlimited, the game is a bit on the easy side.

Stalking around the environments can be genuinely creepy at times, but the game hardly offers the sort of frights delivered by, say, Silent Hill 4. With somewhat repetitive gameplay and the fact that I had a hard time actually caring about the story, Ghosthunter is one to rent for the weekend and have a little fun.

It retains everything you loved about the previous games and simply adds more content.

A very well crafted game with great balance and a surprisingly large strategic depth. It offers a long enough gameplay to last well beyond the 2004 Presidential election, and because of the lack of violence and sex, it is accessible to people of all ages.
