    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.

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

    Unless you happen to be stuck in a beach house on a rainy day and this is the only game disc around, I would have to say, skip it.

    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.

    The turn-based mechanic for combat feels very 1992 and the environments in the game are dull and lifeless.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Suffers from the same thing as most MMORPGs out there, a lack of things to do besides the monotonous.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    I was utterly disappointed. The game looks great on paper, but was created with mediocrity in mind.
    • 61 Metascore

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

    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.

    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 the mechanics that ultimately bring Septerra Core down into the realms of mediocrity. The lack of auto-notes, the handling of NPC conversations, the fumbling around on the exploration maps along with feeling like you're advancing the plot more by luck than skill all contribute to whittling down the amount of fun you have in the game.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Suffers from a complete lack of polish, numerous bugs and crashes, and unintelligent AI.

    The game is a big disappointment, as was Bode Miller's Winter Olympics performance.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Presents itself as a value title but in truth it’s really not a value title, just a very bad game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Ingenious is a mediocre board game that isn’t as fascinating as it could be.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    If you absolutely must have a super hero game, do yourself a favor and pick up "Freedom Force" instead.
    • 41 Metascore

    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.

    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.

    A half-baked "Rome: Total War" wannabe that just fails to make the grade.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    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.
    • 64 Metascore

    This blasé and paint-by-numbers series provides little momentum for the Might & Magic franchise. Time for a fresh drawing board to keep this once-proud name alive.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Scores marks for trying to take "The Sims" on and adding new elements. Looses them again for bad implementation and general rough finish.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A decent game for hunting fans, although I still much prefer taking on the same species and having a bit more action.
    • 56 Metascore

    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 44 Metascore

    Overall, it just felt like this game was striving to be "Rogue Spear" with the production value of "Donkey Kong." If you want squad-based games, play the Tom Clancy or SWAT games.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
