Definitely worth playing for adventure fans, or gamers curious for something different.

Not legendary by any means, this game is a good one to pass the time with. It's intense action should draw you in, even if the less than stellar graphics and the subpar production values do not.

For those that are looking for just a little bit more of the genre, and love deep stategy games this could be right up your alley, but for the average armchair warrior this may be a bit beyond the range of your interests.

If you're looking for a game that is fun for a quick fix, but lacks any real depth then this is your game. Otherwise, don't waste your time and money.

All harshness aside, I think there is a good game buried deep in there. If just a little more time was spent on programming the game and ironing out the quirks, they could have had a success on their hands. As is, it’s not worth the time or money.

Ingenious is a mediocre board game that isn’t as fascinating as it could be.

Infernal is not a good game. In fact, it's below average. Skip this one.

A very good tactical simulator that will appeal to all players, at all levels.

Adequate, but nothing incredible.

It's still not quite good enough to recommend purchasing individual episodes, but the season package is starting to look pretty tempting. Make sure your system is well above the minimum requirements for maximum pleasure.

I don't see anyone anticipate a co-worker saying, "man, I wish 5pm would hurry up and get here. I want to get home and play Secrets of the Ark" in the near future. But I can see the adventure fans finding something of value buried in there somewhere with Mary of Magdalene.

This episode has the shortest playtime and smallest laughs-per-dollar-spent ratio, and it cribs many elements from the previous episodes. Only worth playing if the following episodes improve greatly.

It’s as brief and easy as the previous episode, but overall it’s more palatable.

While similar games like "Bridge Commander" or the "Starfleet Command" series were far from perfect themselves, they at least offered some reasonable challenge and were capable of effectively immersing one into the Star Trek universe. Legacy fails to accomplish either of those things pretty much across the board, while simultaneously annoying and confusing players over and over again.

The core for a good role playing game is evident, it just lacks the polish that we hardcore gamers have come to expect from our RPG's.

Nightfall doesn’t really bring anything new game mechanic wise to the Guild Wars franchise, but it does offer some beautiful environments and cultural inventiveness to an otherwise bland fantasy genre.

There is a slight educational element to the game and it’s pretty enough to hold some kids’ interest for a little while. You could also, however, do much better.

Far from an Editor's Choice game, but it's still fun just for the novelty of it all. Don't set your expectations too high and you won't be disappointed.

It’s good to see Sam & Max back in action, but the fun is over all too quickly. Let’s hope the plot improves in the next episode.

Brigade E5: New Jagged Union tries to revitalize a struggling genre, but gets almost nothing right. There are some nice customization options available, but that's about it. Combat is not fun at all, and the bad camera views and Playstation 1 era graphics only make things worse.

This game gets a low rating because it is basically the same game as last year. To top it all off, there is less content in the PC version than the other versions.

A fine game with no glaring flaws, but also offers nothing to really rev up a gamer's engines either.

Not a terrible game, but far from a good game, DarkStar One finds itself right in the middle, orbiting the planet mediocre.

This is the kind of game nerds play when they’re waiting for new Dungeons & Dragons campaign books to come out.

A short but pleasureable romp through France in the shoes of the best girl detective in the world.

You wouldn’t even know the game was from the Micro Machines franchise if it weren’t for the title. It could be called “Tiny Racers” and no one would know the difference.

The turn-based mechanic for combat feels very 1992 and the environments in the game are dull and lifeless.

Moscow to Berlin regains some of its quality with its dramatic cut scenes that set up the plot and objectives for the mission extremely well and its encyclopedia of all units and vehicles allows you to examine unit’s strengths, weaknesses, and purpose.

In the end Rush for Berlin is a less entertaining version of Codename: Panzers that looks a bit better and has a few moments of intense combat but mostly comes up short in this department.

There’s nothing here that warrants a buy. Fans that want to know why Nightcrawler wasn’t in the movie will want to check out the game from your local video rental store.

The switch to 3D was a welcome addition, but one saddled with camera and control issues.

Ultimate Baseball Online is an interesting idea, but technical and control issues hold it back from being any more than a temporary curiosity.

American Conquest: Divided Nation is an unattractive RTS game that could have faired better if it had been released a few years ago.

The great sim that could have been, Game Tycoon is instead a dull entry in a genre that is already overflowing with dull entries.

The game is a big disappointment, as was Bode Miller's Winter Olympics performance.

A sim that is not for everybody. A smorgasbord of pleasure for train geeks. The cure for insomnia for the rest of us. Add or subtract 20 points from the score, depending on which camp you fall into.

Worth a look for fans of casino gaming, but not innovative enough to keep most people interested for very long. The game’s attempts to be “more than a gambling sim” fall somewhat short of the mark.

A half-baked "Rome: Total War" wannabe that just fails to make the grade.

A good first effort from Rebelmind Games that is worth every cent of the twenty bucks it will cost you - but not much more.

A solid action game, however for the discerning gamer it's not something that really stands up next to it's film and book namesakes.

There may be an audience for this game made up of hardcore fans of the point and click genre, but it’s not anything that the majority of us can’t live without.

Easy to get into and not overly complicated.

An interesting arcade/simulation mix that is restrained from greatness by a few integral inadequacies. There has never been such a fine line between enjoyment and annoyance. Only consider playing it if you have a decent wheel.

With graphics and play modes that live up to what you expect from an EA Sports title, but gameplay that is seriously lacking, NBA Live 06 is mediocre at best.

If you have played the original Fable and still own an xbox, I would recommend waiting for the xbox release of The Lost Chapters. If you have not played Fable and won’t be disappointed by the relatively short time required to beat the game, then buy it.

Its beautiful scenery and personable characters will definitely grab the player. However, its immediate lack of challenge and extremely short amount of playtime are definitely hurtful to the overall quality of the game.

Unfortunately, this long-awaited sci-fi shooter suffers from sub-par graphics, simply god-awful controls, run of the mill third person shooter gameplay and a dull storyline.

A good game for PvP play, but thoroughly underwhelming in all other areas. Not a game worthy of monthly fees.

An enjoyable RPG experience with some interesting game play elements provided you can get past the shortcomings.

Even if you loved The Matrix, the same may not hold true for this MMORPG. We're over it, and by the looks of it so are they.

Despite some improvements, the series has clearly fallen behind the competition.

A somewhat decent dog fighting game, yet the slow pace, dull story, and awkward controls bring it down.

Horrible writing, voice acting, graphics, and gameplay combine to make a less than memorable game that should only be purchased by the extremely hardcore strategy gamer.

Scores marks for trying to take "The Sims" on and adding new elements. Looses them again for bad implementation and general rough finish.

It's not a classic of the genre, but it gets the job done and has outstanding graphics and animation work.

A decent game if you dig mystery fiction and have an itch to use forensic tools.

Space fans should use the free trial, and science fiction fans might want to read the story, but paying for the game probably isn’t worth it in the long run.

Suffers from a complete lack of polish, numerous bugs and crashes, and unintelligent AI.

Crusader Kings has a lot of potential: the underlying historical model is a gem. However, when all is said and done, games need to be playable: and there’s some way to go here.

Great for old-school action fans. Repetitive and dull for everyone else.

Great for a weekend of Star Wars geekery with a bunch of friends, offering solid fun for the first four or five hours. After that, well, to impersonate Yoda: whether or not to own it you will want, only the future will tell.

Gets props for delving into WWI’s legendary Flying Circus, a part of history which, sadly, has been almost totally forgotten by most developers. It is just too bad the game itself has so many historical faux paus and extremely relaxed physics and flight models, even for an arcade flyer.

If you’re looking for a quality tactical action game with loads of weapons, cool features, smart enemies, and polish, look elsewhere. But if your main interest is recent, real-world action (and the promise of at least two new missions each month), this may be your game.

Caters to hardcore puzzle gamers. It’s a well-produced puzzle/adventure game, albeit with a weak story, but newbies to the genre should definitely know what they’re getting into.

Presents itself as a value title but in truth it’s really not a value title, just a very bad game.

The combination of vehicles, weapons, and frontier features could make Soldner a hit series over the next few years. If you are a casual gamer looking for instant action, then this title may not be the best investment.

One of those games that we see all the time. It’s not great, it’s not horrible, it’s ok. And that’s not always a good thing.

A more significant problem, though, is that the gameplay just isn’t much fun. You’ll spend a lot of time running (slowly) from place to place, undertaking repetitive quests, such as fetching a list of items, killing all the undead in an area, or retrieving a large number of wolf pelts.

It seems very unpolished in its current state, and while patches might fix some of the more egregious problems, it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to pull the title up from its current mediocrity.

The game had potential written all over it and showed a lot of promise, but somehow it never quite made it to that point—the point where it could be deemed a "good" game.

If you can manage to recognize its underlying tongue-in-cheek nature, Postal 2: Share the Pain can become much more fun to play and maybe even, dare we say, enjoy – at least for a time.

Those who want to break into the genre, and racing addicts, might want to pick it up, but everyone else can easily do without RC Cars.

For "Giants" veterans, don't expect too much from A&D, as it isn't half as special as its precursor, but I would recommend playing it if only for the fantastic cutscenes.

Goes a long way in making EverQuest accessible to casual RTS fans. Hardcore fans on the other hand could find the game to be too simple, and focused on too small a scale. Creation of units is slow, and mines run out often, so if you don’t mind expanding your force for most of the mission you will find an entertaining game in Lords of Everquest.

Average graphics and sound with repetitive gameplay, and you’re left with a mediocre product. SOV has it's moments, but is otherwise uninspired.

Feels too much like a simple port of a console game. PC gamers are learning to expect much more! If you enjoy console beat-‘em-ups, then it will at least provide some variety in your diet.

A worthy topic that may appeal to Korean War buffs, but this title will likely just frustrate the average gamer.

Though the Hobbit does decent job in recreating the events of J.R. Tolkein's famous book of the same name, simplistic objectives and an overall easy quest hurt an otherwise average game.

DTR’s good points are largely overshadowed by its enormous faults. Die hard fans of Max Payne and its sequel might find something to enjoy here, but then again it would be difficult for them to take such a big step down.

Even the tutorials are riddled with poor grammar, grainy, pixilated text, and bugs. If I were Emperor of Rome I’d feed this game to the lions.

This is one that only the hardest of the hardcore should consider buying. Even then, wait for a used copy to surface at your game store. Casual fans will want to wait it out and see what next year brings. EA certainly has a lot of room for improvement.

For Harry Potter enthusiasts, EA did a semi-decent job at creating an imaginary sport.

If you like the WW2 shooters and prefer the stealth and sniper aspects then this game is for you. Want something revolutionary? Then keep looking.

If you absolutely love story-driven horror type games then this may be worth a look. Otherwise, don't even think about it.

Definitely not a purchase for mature PC gamers, but for those wanting a gaming introductory lesson for their young children, this might just be for you. Just plan on lots of patience, as this is certainly targeted toward the LEGO fans of the world.

They seem to have removed much of the delicate strategic balancing which made the original so much more than a squad-based tactical game, and many of the tactical elements which made it stand head and shoulders above resource-management games.

With varied missions, nice visuals, and an awesome musical score Commandos 3 is a game you very much want to enjoy, but in the end there are too many issues to keep you from fully feeling satisfied.

The end result feels like a few mini games pieced together to make a whole that isn’t quite... whole.

Paradise Cracked is not the worst strategy game ever developed, but PC gamers needing a solid story to push the experience along will want to look elsewhere.

A great way to add new travel options to your existing Sim City 4 infrastructure, with a somewhat gimmicky U-Drive-It mode.

The new additions lack enough substance to make Zero Hour worth the investment for those who weren’t sold on the original.

Promises great things and delivers them patchily. Playing for any length of time is an exercise in frustration - especially since the concept is a great one.

The best of its genre, which isn't saying a lot to be honest, but it will definitely appeal if this is the kind of thing you enjoy. Unfortunately, Enigma's niche appeal doesn't make it a particularly attractive proposition to anyone else.

The story is as full of holes as a bullet ridden block of Swiss cheese.

Stretching the imagination and delving into some virgin territory for the MMOG market, Avaria’s Endless Ages offers up a plate of new character types, travel modes and colorful scenery in a first person shooter MMOG, but sometimes being unique isn’t enough.

Entertaining while it lasts, but not innovative in gameplay or storyline.

A potentially decent FPS that is marred by shoddy AI, repetitive gameplay, and some serious programming bugs.

An average title all-around. There’s no element about it that stands out and the gameplay is extremely repetitive.
