    Without a doubt the best in the series to date. If you love the franchise this game buy is a no-brainer.

    The game is so dark that it is almost unplayable at parts.

    There isn't enough of a difference between this game and Outrun2 to make it worth respending $30 on.

    I can see the series getting a little tired, and it doesn't quite have that magical "aura" that the first couple did. But nonetheless there's plenty to keep you busy.

    It’s complexity will turn many gamers far, far away, but to those with the dedication to play a solid game that will last them hours, this one is for you.

    If you have FIFA from last year, and you're not worried about having the official World Cup Germany licensing and such, or the new Global Challenge mode, then there's isn't that big a reason to upgrade as the gameplay is pretty similar.

    I applaud Guerilla Games for making a Killzone made specifically for the PSP, not trying to cram the PS2 version in to the portable machine.

    A fun and engrossing title that provides a constant unrelenting challenge. It is beautiful to watch, has some of the largest maps I’ve seen in any strategy title of this nature.

    It's a really nice combination of old and new Mortal Kombat.

    I expected more from the single player than I got, especially having time between the current-gen and Xbox 360 version. Weapons upgrades and unlockables are cool, but a storyline that really doesn't go anywhere or suck you in, combined with still lackluster computer AI bring the experience down.

    The city map that you will drive is huge. It's not just Downtown LA, but also runs you through Hollywood, Century City, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, and points in between. The city is also almost exact to scale, complete with landmarks and the entire city street grid.

    Coming back to commentary once again are the hilarious team of Tim Kitzrow and Jim Shorts. These guys are two of the funniest commentators I've ever heard.

    And with the exception of the fact that the mini-games suck, the game on a whole is pretty cool, and the concept is well executed.

    Ape Escape isn’t a graphically impressive game, it more than makes up for it in its gameplay. You will have a blast trying to catch the hundreds of monkeys in the game, and you will really enjoy some of the solid platform gaming that Ape Escape 3 provides.

    But the other half of Torque's persona are the things he sees, the visions he has, the carnage he dreams about. This is what got me...Trust me, it's un-nerving.

    Sports almost twice as many levels as it's predecessor; topping around 80! That's a ton of exploring to do. And much of the game is mission based, and a little more linear than the first Dark Alliance. That's not a bad thing by any means though, and you will find side quests here and there with will yield great rewards to you.

    Electronic Arts really has turned the Need For Speed series into something very special. The series was starting to get old with rehash after rehash, now each Underground title seems to get better and better with every release.

    At its core, this is an old-school RPG. So if you are looking for a turn based RPG that you can play in the palm of your hand or if you are just feeling nostalgic for the days of yore, then you might want to check this game out.

    It's got solid and easy-to-learn gameplay, a very good career mode, and online gameplay which to me always adds points to my score.

    And it's not so much the backgrounds or stadiums, which don't get me wrong look great, but the animation of the players. EA Sports has always managed to get the players running, tackling, goalkeeping, and kicking right on the money. Even better than last year's game.

    It brings the comic book to life right in front of your eyes.

    My only big complaint is that some of the missions are just too long.

    Moreso than previous years, the graphics in NHL 06 are very tight. Still not Visual Concepts spectacular, but getting there.

    Fighting is done with a combination of the face buttons on the controller. It's much deeper than the "GTA" fighting system, as here you can use your punch and kick buttons in combos, as well as jump and throw opponents.

    A dream come true for console gamers who have wanted to have a online adventure game! I have always loved the Everquest series for the PC, and the transition over to the Playstation was a smooth one.

    Solid game, just not that much different than the first.

    If you are into more fast paced puzzled, even though this game has a clock there is little rush with most of the maps (thank god, cause I would be screaming at Mr. Esc to move faster than the crawling pace he moves around at).
