I commend EA for not porting over the XBOX version and just adding a fresh coat of paint. They went ahead and added new Blackhand moves, new executions, upgraded graphics, new side missions, and a host of many new features on your way to becoming the Don of NY.

While I would have liked to have seen online gameplay (and I do take off points for that), the single player campaign is very stong, and the storyline will keep you sucked into it. The controls are great, and the presentation is great.

I wouldn't put it in that phenomenal category that the first game was because there isn't enough new gameplay to make it feel like a new game.

This "episode" is much improved from previous games. The puzzles are much harder than the last game, and there is more to do this time than just click each screen and pick up everything around you to submit to the labs.

The game is addictive. I just couldn’t put it down until I was done playing.

What it does lack is a good multiplayer element. That makes the game seem "done" once you beat it. It isn't a short game to beat, but after you're done there's no online play to make you go back to it.

The game does little to add to the original title.

The Lead Blocking adds an all new dimension to the game, the Superstar mode lets you live the life of a NFL player, and the countless number of options and features add up to hours upon hours of enjoyment.

Blitz: The League gives a new meaning to smash mouth football.

In the end, Rugby '06 is what I think real Rugby players will gravitate to. It's authentic, and that is always something EA is good at.

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.

I have only one other recommendation for Konami. Either port the game on the Xbox or make the next PS2 version usable with the PS2 HDD and broadband adapter. It would be killer to be able to download new songs to keep things fresh.

The gameplay is improved a good deal from last year, giving you more of a realistic feel while maintaining a fast-paced arcadey kind of feel.

More selectable wrestlers really could have boosted the replay value. Still, with its great graphics, solid grappling system and AWESOME Create a Wrestler mode, WrestleMania XIX shows that its franchise is on the right track.

I am not going to say they have done anything revolutionary with this title, but Konami still has the formula right for dance games, others have tried but I still think the DDR series is the best out there.

If you love animals or you are playing The Sims 2 and want more, then you should definitely get this expansion.

In my honest humble opinion Silent Hill 4: The Room is by far the best of the Silent Hill series.

The good include the graphics, the historical background for each map, tracer bullets in your ammo, and the detail put into the planes. The minus include a poor map, horrible objectives, long boring flying time and a general sense of pointlessness to the game.

If you already have other DDR games for your Xbox then I am not going to say you need to run out and get this one, but you won't be disappointed if you like the series.

It's cute, and it's fun to play. Parents can definitely breate easy with the E for Everyone rating, and know this game is built with kids in mind. And that is a good thing.

This is a great collection for fans of the series out there. For those of you that are new to the games, I have to recommend at least renting this one to give it a shot.

The storyline is everything you'd expect from a game by Free Radical, as is the look. The gameplay is also very solid, although one of these days someone is going to have to learn how to make some really good enemy AI.

The game is addictive. I just couldn't put it down until I was done playing.

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.

Radical Entertainment did a wonderful job not only keeping Scarface close to the source material, but also creating a sequel to a movie that was never going to see a sequel.

What it does lack is a good multiplayer element. That makes the game seem "done" once you beat it. It isn't a short game to beat, but after you're done there's no online play to make you go back to it.

Due to the game not having sufficient resources, the rosters ended up taking a big hit as none of the players appear to be on the right teams. If we do see a "MVP '08," I do hope that EA does place the passion and resources back into the franchise which plays a fairly great game of baseball.

And when I finally got a hand of the great online play for the Playstation 2 I was just blown away. It is fast and silky smooth. And the botom line is that the game is just fun and exciting to play. Your heart will race while you try and duck gunfire from the Nazis.
