What War of the Monsters lacks in story depth, it more than makes up for in presentation. One thing that the designers really took to heart was the B-movie atmosphere.

Surprisingly deep, complex, and accessible, SimCity 4 is the pinnacle of simulation games.

Unfortunately, Panzer Dragoon Orta came up short, literally, with it's complete lack of actual gameplay. This game felt like more of a coin-op than an actual console game.

I can definitely say that it does add to the lifespan of DW3, and that it is definitely worth a rental if you have the original and enjoyed playing it, maybe even worth buying if you can find it for under $20, like I did.

Forgettable but playable. With few faults, fans of the first who want more of the same should check it out. Otherwise, with so many great platformers to choose from on the GBA, I suggest N-Tranced only to the kids who have never experienced the joys of Crash on the bigger screen.

Unfortunately, Ryan comes off as an unlikable, whiney cliche. Being that this is a racing game, its ultimate success resides in the on track action, as it should.

The true tell-tale sign of a great RPG compared to a good RPG is how you feel after completion. With other great RPG's over the years, I had a true connection with the characters and was always a bit saddened once my adventure came to a halt. In this case I felt nothing.

Officially the first fun Dragonball Z game to hit the market. While it has a couple problems in the lack of jump or flight and a few strange mini-games in story mode, this fighter is remarkably deep and entertaining.

The control of the game is where this really shines.

A sub-average game, thanks to the awful graphics and interface limitations of the handheld console.

Far from perfect, but features some of the best elements in a game that I've seen in a long time.

For RPG purists, Evolution can barely break the mold of mediocre. Small frustrations end up being large problems. Issues like endless dungeons, no exploration and mind-numbing stories quickly become an anathema.

Despite lame attempts at entertainment, the game feels more like work than anything else... If you want topless women and extreme sports together, you’d be better off buying a copy of Playboy and alternating reading it with runs of "Tony Hawk."

If you see this game on the shelf, avoid it like the plague. I don’t care how big a fan you are of wrestling or how much you crave nostalgia, because there’s no lust great enough that should convince you to buy or rent this title.

The six hours that I got out of the game were fun, but I was simply left wanting more.

Had there not been a load of stability problems and random crashes, this game could have easily been of A quality. This baby is really an incredible war strategy otherwise.

If you’re already a MMORPG fan, or are looking to get into them, this game is cream of the crop.

The developers took a great concept from a variety of sources, put them in a blender, hit puree and voila... a veritable slushy of gaming goodness.

With a ton of great games that still hold up to today’s standards, as well as all the extras and the little touches that show that Anthology was lovingly crafted as opposed to hastily slapped together, as many similar collections tend to be, it’s hard to find any reason not to recommend it.

Plagued with some serious frame-rate problems and some rather questionable control decisions by Lucas, it still comes out as a good game worth at least a weekend rental.

Gorgeous cities and interesting villains aside, it is the developer’s fundamental inability to provide interesting challenges for Superman that make this title a flop.

It's just an hour or so of hitting the trigger button. It's tiring, while being mildly entertaining...but mostly just tiring. It's the type of game that is very, very easy to put down and walk away from, because you just don't want to hold the gun any longer.

Very mediocre.

One thing that sets Metroid Fusion apart from its predecessors is a clearly stated and well-developed storyline, including, for the first time, occasional monologues by Samus herself.

The interaction between the player, Sam and the game form a symbiotic relationship that few games have achieved. Things like retinal scanners, fingerprint id's and sticky cameras will keep you spitting adrenaline on this 14 mission romp.

Fire Blade does not have an engrossing plot, pre-rendered cinematics or a popular license. What it does have is an assload of rock solid gameplay, and an impressive game engine to boot.

A rare example of a complete game. Most titles lack in one aspect or another, but Prime pulls its weight in just about every part of a game you can imagine.

The small D-Pad dooms this game (as well as other fighters) from being a "Game of the Year" title... Pulling off these moves as well as combos, is the heart of any fighter and not doing so consistently nearly renders the game useless.
