It takes slightly longer to finish the game than to watch the movie -- I got through it in about severn hours. [Holiday 2002, p.96]

The Bergson's are charming but their quest is a bit too lifeless. A middling dungeon crawler elevated by its style.

There's a good story here, but it's marred by carelessness. [May 2017, p.89]

Generic Shooter # 7,491, but with some cool weapon upgrades. [July 2005, p.70]

A decent revival of the N64-era 3D platformer, but with all the flaws that carries, as well as some new ones of its own.

A moderately entertaining, albeit retrograde, arcade driving experience. [Jan 2003, p.112]

EoW fans should pick up this expansion for its space battles and new multiplayer units, but the campaign is forgettable. [Jan. 2007, p.83]

For $19.99, you get 25 different Vegas-quality one-armed bandits(plus video poker)for solo or online multiplayer competitions. [Jun 2006, p.105]

BPM is a great concept somewhat fumbled, redeemed when it breaks its own rules.

A promising concept that needs better graphics, camera controls, and AI to really shine. [Feb 2004, p.70]

It's a little shy on realism, challenge, and gameplay depth but Attack on Pearl Harbor still delivers an accessible and diversionary ride in some terrific old WWII warbirds. [Oct 2007, p.60]

The story's perplexing, the AI is unimaginative, and the Predator and Predalien missions just aren't that interesting. [Nov 2002, p.146]

Wurm Online is one of the most innovative MMOs around, but damn, will it make you work to appreciate that fact.

If you're a new player, this is not the expansion you're looking for. [Aug 2005, p.56]

For it's user-friendly interface alone, Galactic Assault is a noteworthy entry in the genre and serves as a good starting point for anyone looking to cautiously dip a toe into war gaming. [Dec 2007, p.66]

The PC game is actually a late-to-the-table port of a 2005 Xbox and PS2 release, and it shows. [Apr 2006, p.98]

Realm of Shadows indicates that it might tell an interesting Batman story, but takes time to get there and suffers from Telltale’s tired design and engine limitations.

It's not the most ambitious game ever, but All-Stars can become oddly addictive. [Sept 2002, p.81]

Galactic Civilizations 4 is a vast and dependable grand space strategy. But there's little here that radical, and expect to meet it halfway.

Starseed Pilgrim is composed of interesting elements and neat twists, but suffers from the assumption that you can encourage exploration simply by refusing to tell the player what to do. [Aug 2013, p.73]

I love the new snowy setting, and there are some fun moments here, but ultimately Valley of the Yetis plays it too safe.

There’s a lot to love in the core loop, but this diamond in the rough gets buried under a repetitive campaign and late game balance issues.

Invigorating arcade racing let down by lightweight multiplayer and campaign modes.

Aside from the move to 3D graphics and the requisite new spells and characters, changes or enhancement are surprisingly lacking in this sequel. [Feb 2002, p.67]

Immortals of Aveum tells a dull tale in an extremely irritating way, but at least has some fun, engaging shooting. I just wish it had a few ideas of its own.

A faithful recreation, but why go back when Stardew has since perfected the genre?
