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

A great addition to Everquest and will please fans, and may even convert those looking for a better MMO. It is friendly to new players and experts alike and should keep us busy until the next expansion pack is released.

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

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.

Better than all previous offerings, an awesome football experience, but still not quite on a par with "Pro Evolution Soccer."

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

Despite its flaws, Pirate Cove is a very engaging game, made all the better by being the first title that doesn’t just make gambling, drinking, wenching and plundering in the Caribbean a recommendation, but a requirement.

Another solid, old school war strategy simulator - a war gamers ice cream sundae.

Diplomacy is a fun game that has finally been made into a fun PC game. Fans of the board game will love it, strategy fans will love it, and casual strategy gamers will enjoy it.

A good, fast-paced strategy game that should appeal to traditional RTS lovers and more impatient gamers alike.

This is truly a grognard's game. If you don’t know what that means, you’re probably not one. If you do – and you are – you will be refreshed and inspired.

Battlefield 2142 may adhere to the familiar Battlefield formula, but its still gangs of fun to play.

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.

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

Reality 2.0 is the first Sam & Max episode I would recommend without reservation. I laughed, I cried (with laughter), and I think everyone who plays will do the same.

Fans of management and tycoon games should definitely not miss this creative and well thought-out opportunity to play the bad guy. Own this game and it will own you back.

Lionhead Studios creates a fun movie mogul sim, while giving wannabe Spielbergs the chance to make their masterpieces.

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

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.

For fans of the first game, I have only this to say: semi-automatic sniper-rifle stake gun. With more of everything, this is a must own!

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.

A chore-saving final addition to the original Sims. Its whimsical nature is a nice change of pace from the previous expansions.

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

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.

Its separate parts don’t look like much, but as a whole, they work well.

A fantastic tactical shooter that is marred by inconsistencies and minor flaws in design. It is the best in the series, and continues with the same great gameplay that made us fall in love with it in the first place.

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

From a marketing standpoint, the title so far has been a marketing success: Player conversion, engine improvements, game flow improvements and above all, the fun factor.
