The details are staggering - if you want any possible path into the world of chess, this is your definitive portal.

With near-seamless integration of the 2nd Edition AD&D rules, a tight storyline and a good deal of action, I really can't think of an RPG to date that betters it.

Strategy gamers, the Holy Grail hath been found.

This is an incredibly well done game, with a multitude of possibilities, and one of the greatest replay values I've ever witnessed in a game since at any time during the game you have to say to yourself, "I wonder what else could have happened back there."

The best graphics, control, A.I., and multiplayer, and the deepest career mode of any golf sim on the planet.

Where Neverwinter Nights really earns the points is in its longevity.

If it is your desire to experience a complete, polished and awesome racecar simulator, or if you want to enjoy a simulation of a real life racing series and you want the best, you must own NASCAR Racing 2002 Season.

Extremely well made and easily holds its own. I encountered no major problems at all. There are tons of options, with lots of customizations, and plenty of different game types to keep your trigger finger active and your Mech tactics acute.

One of the few instances where the sequel outperforms the original. If you are even remotely interested in strategy games, you owe it to yourself to give this one a stab.

UT is a great game thanks to a combination of excellent level design, weapon balancing, intelligent bots, option tweaking, and numerous play modes.

No other golf sim has looked and played this good. Ever. Period.

The only thing missing from this masterpiece is the fact that once you finish playing the game, you can’t watch it as a movie!

You leave the experience a little different, and, like a girl that's been burned too many times entering what looks like a good relationship, you leave a little wary as well. You know you've been treated well; you don't feel the scars and scabs that other games have left you with.

For gamers thrilled by the action and heroes of movies based on World War II, or for any other red-blooded, meat-eating, chest-thumping, flatulating normal kinds of dudes, Battlefield 1942 will be virtual nirvana.

I have never before seen an RPG so deep, so entertaining, and so damn good.

Offers a huge amount of gameplay, with something for everyone. Be prepared to lose dozens of hours to this game without even noticing.

Many games claim to be the next generation of first person shooters. "Unreal" didn't do it, "Half-Life" didn't either. This is the Promised Land.

It is highly addictive, due mainly to the trite but compelling story, is great fun to play, and should provide as much of a challenge to those who aren't familiar with this genre as it does to space-sim veterans.

I hope you’re not some sissy, the sort of guy who’s afraid to commit crime or see a little (bleep)ing blood splattered around every once in a while. It’s part of the job. If you don’t like it, I hear there’s a new (bleep)ing Barney game and a nice Britney Spears action-adventure out.

The best FPS ever created. Makes everything else pale in comparison. It's everything you always wanted in a FPS.

This is what every expansion pack should be. Nothing seems arbitrary, and you feel like the folks at Stardock really get what 4X gamers want.

A truly great game that all fans need to own, despite some issues in the co-op mode.

If you’re looking for an infinitely replayable wargame, then look no further. CM2 will provide you with hours of fun.

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

With beautiful graphics, a smart AI, and a dragon’s hoard of replayability, Age of Wonders II is a winner.

If you're hunting for the ultimate flight sim or learning tool then look no further.

What’s really most interesting about all of these changes, however, is that you now need to pay attention to all major aspects of the game to win, even at lower difficulty levels.

More freedom, more options, and the same intense gameplay of the original. The sequel is much more forgiving on gamers than its predecessor, but the gameplay still remains as addicting as ever.

C&C3's graphics are outstanding. You'll see rippling water, detailed map terrain, awe-inspiring weapon special effects, and satisfying explosions. The sound effects are equally good.

I've played some dandies in the last few months, and the competition out there is stiff, but Giants sends them all running for cover. Get it now. The highest score I've given out here at PC Gameworld.

Far exceeds the original and establishes itself as a classic of the genre.

Player movements are more realistic than in any other sports title from Electronic Arts.

It's essentially Scrabble for the videogame generation, with mundane numerical scores replaced by hitpoints and flashy animated attacks, wrapped up in a cute and funny package. You'd have to be a serious logophobe not to love it.

If not for the lack of a save game feature and the incredibly high difficulty factor, this game might be the best shooter ever made. Even despite these defects, it comes damn close.

As it is, Silent Hunter III is easily the best submarine simulation ever made.

This is the helicopter sim you've always wanted.

Like RPGs? Like to be scared? System Shock 2 shows that a game can please you on a multitude of levels: visual, auditory, and emotional.

With various scenarios and landscapes, free Internet play, an excellent story and presentation, and one of the most terrifying main villains I have ever seen, Soulblighter will keep you happy (I haven't even mentioned the map editor yet!).

The best thing to come out of Sweden since meatballs and tall, big busted, long legged blondes wearing high heels.

Amazing graphics, and it expands on everything that previous RTS and RPG games have created.

Its addictive style, replay value, and enormous appeal to all levels of gamer make it one of the first PC classics of the new millenium.

Why are you still reading this review? You should be on your way to the software store right now!

While it doesn't exactly bring anything new to the genre it is a genuinely good CRPG which brings the Forgotten Realms to life.

The most detailed combat flight simulator on the market.

One issue that pops up early is the game's rather inept AI. Enemies just do not have the kind of intelligence or cleverness the first game had. Combine soldiers do little to evade your fire, preferring to just stand there shooting at you.

Great game at a great price. Easy to pick up for inexperienced gamers and complicated enough to please the hardcore RTS fan.

If you’re looking for a good fantasy game, Spellforce II is like a big fantasy nerd peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Simple, yet satisfying.

Ideal for those new to the genre and experienced gamers who consider themselves more 'middle of the road' when it comes to shooters.

This game will change what you think about RPGs. The immense world provides hours of gameplay and there are enough different paths to take that the game could be won in any way you want.

Extremely unforgiving AI, coupled with beautiful artwork, and an array of deployable units places this turn-based strategy game squarely in must have status for any strategy buff.

This game mixes all the elements that make a game great, and adds a few new ingredients to the mix. Shaken lightly, not stirred, this is one hell of a new recipe.

Despite a rough start and ongoing issues, Blizzard's epic MMORPG is a very fun experience.

If this is the wave of the future for multiplayer games, I can't wait to see what's ahead. Allegiance sets forth a goal and achieves it on almost every level.

An extraordinarily engaging gaming experience more suited to experienced gamers.

If you want to play a well-balanced baseball game that mixes stats and simulation with arcade action, this is really your best option.

If you liked "Diablo 2," but are perhaps looking for a gaming experience with more depth and story, look no further.

My only real complaint is that upon completion of a task, villagers will just stand around doing nothing. This can lead to some annoying micro-management tactics...Problems aside, Age of Empires is one of the most enjoyable and addictive real-time strategy games I’ve ever played.

This is a game that can stay on your hard drive for six months, still offering new experiences.

It resuscitates a once heavily hyped sim that was nearly dead on arrival, and turns it into something special. A must buy for combat flight simulation enthusiasts.

I might sound like a Kiss fan gushing about this game solely because I like the band, but I am writing this review as a PC game fan, gushing about this game because it is that good.

If you don't plan on purchasing the excellent "ESPN NFL Football," any football fan would be doing themself a favor in picking up Madden NFL 2004.

Prepare for many a sleepless night. Most importantly, it also has that most elusive quality, the fun factor, in spades.

A game fit for both Napoleonic gamers and those looking for a more cerebral RTS game.

A tight package that offers plenty in the way of sim-building entertainment. If you've ever played a simulation game and wondered what it would be like if you actually had to control a group of separate personalities instead of robots, this is your game.

It is technically and artistically sound, not to mention fun. Definitely underrated.

It is not the revolution in the space combat genre that many were hoping for, but it certainly is the next evolution.

While at its core, this is basically the same game as the first LEGO Star Wars, albeit based on a different trilogy, there is more here to do than the original. And more here is certainly better.

It's short, sweet, and funny. Strong Bad humor at it's finest.

Fans of the series will fall in love with the second amazing add-on to Clancy's classic.

A game with atmosphere and style, and should keep anyone busy for months.
