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

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.

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

For a highly addictive, replayable game, facing the Lord of Terror is somewhat of an anti-climax. Provided you've played as a Rogue and have the Bow of the Bear it's pretty simple to kill him off. Playing the Warrior though is a little harder.

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.

Finally, we have a true 3D strategy game that works. With engaging gameplay, a good storyline, and the graphics to back it all up, Homeworld is on the brink of becoming a household name.

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!

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

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

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

It's fun at first, but once the novelty wears off, it loses a lot of its charm and appeal.

The added tools and features will give you a reason to dust off that sim family you may have forgotten about.

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.

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

It sucks you in and holds on for hours. Anyone with the slightest interest in RTS games would find it well worth their money.

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.

An engrossing and highly playable RTS game, Age of Empires II will even convert the people who didn't like the original.

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

Strategy gamers, the Holy Grail hath been found.

After so many iterations it's impressive that Stardock has maintained their standard of quality in this series.

Casual and hardcore sports gamers will find this title of the highest quality - a must have for golf fans!

The most over-hyped and overrated PC game released in the last twelve months. There, I said it. The fan boys can now launch their attack.

Everything you could want for hot lapping, racing individual races or enjoying full championship seasons is in this single, reasonably priced package.

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

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.

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

An excellent title that really set the benchmark for all FPS's, not just for graphics, but for realism as well.

Beautiful environments; new exciting quests; awesome PvP content; all sorts of goodies for WoW players.

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.

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.

If you're looking for an entertaining shooter that doesn't take itself too seriously, you won't find anything better.

If first person shooters are your bag, be sure to peel this banana and taste its sweet bounty.

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

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

Truly a wonderful game, complete with enough humor and action to appease anyone in the market for a good shooter and a hearty laugh.

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.

With excellent online play, top-notch graphics, and a musical score that you'll find yourself just listening to, Black and White is a quality game all around.

F.E.A.R. Combat will not revolutionize the FPS genre like "Half-Life" did all those years ago, but it is fun, fast paced, and better than many of the other titles out there. And, you can’t beat the price.

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."

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

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

The most detailed combat flight simulator on the market.

It might not go down as one of the classics of our time, but with a great story and fantastic multiplayer, it will spend a good deal of time on many hard drives.

My experience with Age of Mythology was one of apathy and boredom... Think of AoM as Led Zeppelin’s "Stairway to Heaven." Sure, it’s a great song, but do you really want to hear it over and over again?

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

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.

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

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.

I couldn't stop laughing while playing this extremely enjoyable trip through what unfolds like a 1950's science fiction B-movie: Space Aliens Invade Earth for Women!...Duke Nukem has what most first-person shooters don't - character!

Every aspect of Far Cry bleeds quality. This is definitely one of the best games ever released, and my friends, that is saying something.

The masters of the universe of PC racing game development have gone out the same way they came in - with a stunning achievement!

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.

A great action/adventure game, with the highest of production values and a ton of consistently fun gameplay from start to finish.

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.

An extraordinarily engaging gaming experience more suited to experienced gamers.

After investing hard-earned cash in add-ons for FS 2000 and FS 2002, is this new title really worth buying? The answer is “yes.”

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.

The 30s era vehicles and weaponry are unique to the PC shooter market and provide a challenge to even the most seasoned gamers.

Everything that is changed works perfectly, and all of the new civs and units add flavor to the game. A must buy in every sense of the word.

You won't find a better team based action game on the market.

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

An enjoyable expansion despite the terrible dialogue and subpar story from the original continuing on.

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!).

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.

Buy it, download it, whatever; just get on board and enjoy. Sure-fire fun for the online enthusiast.

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

A great looking game with some of the best gameplay elements I’ve ever seen. However, over the scope of the game it gets a little thin and repetitive.

Fans of the original will enjoy this sequel, but don’t expect anything revolutionary, or even substantially different.

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.

Smashing sequel improves on the original. Utterly unique and addictive series.

Episode One stays true to everything that made Half-Life 2 great, and tosses in some fresh new content for good measure. It is a wonderful, if not brief, return to the Half-Life world.

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.

May bear some flaws but it's definitely one of the good computer RPGs, and one of the best titles of the summer.

An average World War II shooter, with elements of strategy implemented somewhat successfully. However, the game is also available on consoles, and I can't help but think the game would have been so much better had it been developed solely for PC.

The deep content NHL 2004 offers, coupled with its minute-to-learn lifetime-to-master gameplay make it a must-have for hockey fans.

This is the game we've been waiting for since Total Annihilation! All things considered, Supreme Commander is a challenging game with enough depth and content to keep anyone busy for months.

This is the helicopter sim you've always wanted.

Provides a great single-player experience that immerses the player completely in the experience. If not for the lacking multiplayer, this game would be nearly perfect.

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

Yet another indie game that totally blows away what the faceless corporations put out.

This is what the comic book craze has been waiting for. It’s an original, interesting game that breaks the bonds of the usual hack-and-slash drudgery.

Ask yourself if battling through hundreds of combats, most of which require no strategy other than kill the other guy first, sounds like fun.

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.

The action, graphics, and gameplay are all tight and very satisfying. However, the somewhat hazy story and confusing relationships make some parts of the game less than stellar. An extremely short completion time might also turn off some gamers.

One of the best strategy games I've played recently. The depth of gameplay offered is truly remarkable and the AI is good enough to almost make me forget that there is no multiplayer (almost).

Action gamers rejoice! A straightforward action shooter that produces both a strong single player and online multiplayer experience.

The most authentic, challenging, and beautiful pre-jet age combat flight sim ever made.

The worst crime ever committed against PC gamers was releasing the sequel to UT without an Assault mode.

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

Trying to maneuver a large force of marines and heavy vehicles through the ruin strewn streets of Tartarus can be extremely difficult due to poor path finding by your units.

A welcome addition to the ever-evolving series with enough new content to make it a worthwhile purchase.

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.

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 being more action-oriented than tactical, Vegas does have some memorable moments. But the franchise clearly appears to be shifting away from its traditional audience toward a more action-oriented mass market.

Not only does it have fun powers and cool costumes, it makes you feel like a hero! And, better yet, part of a team.

EverQuest isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the good features outweight the problems, making it a rather enjoyable game overall.

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.
