If this were a movie, it would be the same plot with perhaps an extra character or an added fifteen minutes thrown in.

A very good tank simulation, that's unfortunately not quite ready for prime-time.

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

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.

An amazing fantasy game, with a good story that has tremendous replay value.

Sometimes, expectations for a second swing around the love nest can result in less than a satisfying rendezvous, and such is the case for this fizzled out flame that once burned brightly.

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

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.

Those of you who like wacky and lighthearted gaming will be pleased.

A quaintly pleasant WWII RTS that offers little new but makes up for that deficiency with an incredible passion for subject matter and meticulous accuracy within its remit. Rommel would be proud.

Don’t let the childish presentation fool you - this game is engaging and massively addictive.

The latest expansion gives existing players a good reason to keep playing, but hasn’t brought the game up to the standards of the latest generation of MMORPGs.

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.

The highs definitely outweigh the lows and this game breathes new life into an old genre.

The gameplay just doesn't have the excitement it could have without the lenient physics model.

The game has an all around solid polished look, and still manages to retain a steady frame rate without any slowdown.

It could have been a contender but unfortunately, the lack of user-control saves and a multiplayer feature keep this fighter out of the championship ring.

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.

If you love deep thinking, strategy and logistics, you may just love this game. If you want a zergling rush, steer clear.

It cannot quite compete with the likes of SpellForce: The Order of Dawn, but as a reasonably enjoyable title to fill the void of gaming insomnia, it does merit mild recommendation.

A fun and imaginative game that, while not particularly engrossing or challenging, will entertain and amuse quite well.

Doesn't innovate enough to ever be considered a new classic. Still, it's worth playing while we wait for "Civilization III."

Highly recommended to RTS fans, yet is not daring enough to follow through with some of its ideas and reach its full potential.

A worthy expansion to its namesake, taking players through previously unexplored areas of WWII's Mediterranean campaigns.

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.

With the inclusion of a story mode and faster gameplay the MAN series could be a hit someday. Until then, there's really no justification to purchase it.

Another "could have, should have" game. While it follows the old school formula a little too much, it can still be enjoyable if you like to annihilate things with big guns.

It's arcade control scheme, as well as the almost total lack of realism in its flight physics, makes it more suitable to fans of the fast and loose space shooters for which SWON’s developer is best known.

A fun, thinking person's game, if you have a taste for politics. Fast twitch skills are useless here. Who wouldn't want to pit Arnold Schwarzeneggar against Hilary Clinton?

If you’ve been curious about more realistic tactical shooters but reluctant to try one, this is a great introduction.

Reminds us why car combat is fun, stellar graphics if your ‘puter has the goods, a totally different brand of MMORPG.

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

A thoroughly comprehensive and enjoyable single player industry simulation, complimented by decent multiplayer support to satisfy the competitive spirit of LAN party goers looking for something a little more sophisticated.

An incredibly deep game that could be a great offering if it would go even deeper. In the meantime, though, the game is handicapped by a computer AI as unreliable as Tanyon Sturtze on three days’ rest.

At the end of the day, the Euro Force expansion is more than worth the price of admission for the new maps alone.

A perfect game for those who are new to turn-based gaming but veterans might feel that it's still no different than last week's date.

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.

Hard-core fanatics of the original will find this expansion somewhat appealing, although the aquatic shows are a bit flat.

Tells a compelling story in an interesting way, and offers some novel twists on the occult murder theme. Not quite up to the old Gabriel Knight series, but one of the best adventures currently available.

A competent historically based shooter with some unique features and an occasional flash of brilliance, making it one of the few quality Vietnam War FPS to date.

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

A solid RTS game with two unique and useful features, a cool setting, and everything from dinosaurs to sumo wrestlers to jetpacks. There are minor graphical and AI issues, but don't let them deter you.

Will entertain for a while, but will become old fast. People interested in a chat room environment will find some fun here, but others, especially fans of the previous games, may feel cheated.

When Nosferatu is at its best, the game is a moody frightfest of first person survival-horror unlike anything on the PC, but when it’s at its worst Nosferatu is a frustrating exercise in dying. Still, for horror fans this can be overlooked, as Nosferatu delivers some great goosebumps.

There is little to dislike about No Man's Land, and much to love, despite the multitude of multiplayer bugs.

The game does revolutionize the genre by bringing it into 3D successfully. It also offers over 150 hours of alternate reality, to help you escape the doldrums of everyday life. In that, the game is a winner.

This game could help give people a better understanding of just how fragile the eco system of war is, giving them a sense of realism that is not found in most other strategy games. Unfortunately it's that same level of realism that might make this game unplayable for other gamers.

It might not set a record for longevity on your hard drive, but like a good novel, it grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let go until its thrilling conclusion.

A great role-playing, adventure game that incorporates unique magic abilities and customizable combat techniques on top of a very well told story.

It's the mechanics that ultimately bring Septerra Core down into the realms of mediocrity.

Though a tired premise, this game gets just about everything right, offering deep gameplay, excellent strategy, and enemy AI that is both adaptive and unique.

Despite absurd justification for making this thing, as a cold-blooded sniping exercise it delivers.

A buzzing, colorful and ultimately fun strategy game that lacks the bells and whistles to really turn it into something special.

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

What hurts this game more than anything else, is that it could have been so much better.

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

Didn't the developers play "IL-2 Sturmovik"? They should, so they can see how it's supposed to be done.

A decent strategy game with solid gameplay and good graphics being held back by stunningly bad voice-overs and flawed music delivery.

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

What it lacks in storyline depth and musical variety, it makes up for in addictive gameplay and detailed battle animations.

A sub-par lite simulation racing game that tries to be much more, but ends up falling smack on it’s ass at every attempt.

For puzzle adventure fans especially kids this game can't possibly miss. Definitely worth a look if you like mysteries as well.

It is a very good game. It’s just that it doesn’t bring anything revolutionary to the table.

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.

Even the most die-hard adventure fan would be hard pressed to find much entertainment in Dark Fall. The game feels like it’s subpar from front to back.

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.

A great combination of real-time strategy with a primary focus on team tactics and intense 3D action.

It’s a great-looking but clunky implementation of the classic “aliens, spaceships and lots of micromanagement” formula.

This is an interesting and somewhat fun game, but it will appeal to a rather select audience and not the masses. If it sounds like your cup of tea, it probably is.

I was utterly disappointed. The game looks great on paper, but was created with mediocrity in mind.

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.

Not the kind of innovative game as its forbearer, Incoming. Instead, it comes across as a bit behind the times. While it does manage to be fun in parts, it still lacks in many areas.

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.

Unless you consider any game of this genre a must have, you may as well pass on this one.
