    Gretzky NHL 2005 has taken a giant step forward from previous "FaceOff" games, but it is still falls way short of the competition. With two solid hockey titles already out, Gretzky just doesn't offer anything different to make it worth a purchase.

    I kept playing it thinking there was more, or something I missed that was jading me. But in the end the game is just not that good for me.

    But I can tell you that it's an upgrade from the Xbox version, as it should be. It looks better, and it plays better now that the fielding works correctly now.

    The Xbox is so capable of performing graphics that could blow these out of the water. There is so much to like about this game, but people are going to be turned off by how bad these graphics have made a downgrade from its PC brother.

    While the game doesn’t contain all the bells and whistles of its NFL counterparts, the game makes up for it in gameplay.

    There's a lot of good special effects like detailed explosions, missle trails, other giant ships and huge planets you have to fly near and around. And there are some great cutscenes using both the game engine and pre-rendered CGI to help move the storyline along.

    The simplistic gameplay and controls make it easy to pick the game up and play without frustration. Because the gameplay is so simplistic, Grabbed by the Ghoulies risks growing old quickly on some people.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! offers a very good sense of strategy that beginners and novice Yu-Gi-Oh! players will enjoy.

    SRS has a lot of good things going for it, including some solid comtrols and AI, a very good online mode with pink slips and all, and a very open ended racing system.

    Worlds above what the first game was, with the greatly improved graphics (beautiful Cel-Shaded graphics)and game modes.

    t looks fantastic! But it plays just ok.

    It has all of the charm that the original had to offer with the portability of the PSP.

    It has its ups and downs, but the goods outweigh the bads in the very end.

    It needs a boat load of work. More cases, more challenge, and better animation could make this game a reasonable buy. I thought Kung-Fu Theater went out in the 80's?

    Other then some updated graphics there is really nothing new here.

    Although repetitive at times, it does provide a few hours of fun. The game is incredibly short and can be finished in well under 10 hours.

    It has the great gameplay from the original, a new story more, and still looks great. But yanking out the big online feature that made me jump for joy, I can't give the game the same score.

    The reason I am giving Spider-Man 2 an average score is because of the shabby 3D graphics and the fact that the controls can get shabby from time to time and leaving you very frustrated.

    The computer AI against you is not bad. I have found splashes of extreme stupidity with some enemy soldiers as they just stand there and wait for you to shoot them. But others will run at you with their bayonettes pointed, which will damage you.

    My other major complaint about the game is with the difficulty levels. The difficulty levels are fairly lopsided, Easy is too easy for someone who has played any other dance games, Medium is a huge jump up from it, and I was really not ready for it, then there is the hard setting which is just crazy.

    Half Life fans would love to know that there is also a Half Life 2 CD with exclusive footage. Let me say, *drool*.

    It was fun at first, but got grindingly boring as I kept playing.

    Of all three Midway Arcade Treasures games, this is the one that probably has the most amount of games you won't want to play for any length of time.

    The lack of anything truly innovative, and the so-so gameplay doesn’t offer any incentive to want to play the game for an extended period of time. I was not having fun with the game at all.

    There aren't a whole lot of games out there that you can just throw into your PS2 or Xbox and start hacking away at things. "Hunter: The Reckoning" is one, but how many other can truly "get medevil" on your ass? Looks like just one. But that is also something that can get old quickly.

    Dig Dug Digging Strike took everything that I loved about Dig Dug and made it better. I haven’t been this impressed with a make-over of a classic game since Sega released "OutRun 2" last year.

    Somewhat of a disappointment. The frustrating controls along with some other issues, the game is kept from being a true must-have title.

    To jump online and totally beat the crap out of someone else's ride? That doesn't smack of fun to you?

    If the movie delivers as well as the DS version of the game did, I’ll be a very happy camper.
