    Despite its reliance on clichés the game starts off well, with a great atmosphere and some sublime visuals (water effects and sunsets are particularly nice) but once you delve a little deeper the limitations of the hugely linear missions and combat really drag you down and suck most of the enjoyment out of the game.

    If you liked the original, you’ll love the new features of Northern Strike. If not, the expansion won’t change your mind.

    Peggle is a fun, good-looking, and challenging little time waster that takes a great game from our childhood and updates it nicely.

    Adequate, but nothing incredible.

    It's still not quite good enough to recommend purchasing individual episodes, but the season package is starting to look pretty tempting. Make sure your system is well above the minimum requirements for maximum pleasure.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    It’s as brief and easy as the previous episode, but overall it’s more palatable.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    TrackMania: United is a fun arcade racer with an incredible amount of stuff to do both online and off.

    The core for a good role playing game is evident, it just lacks the polish that we hardcore gamers have come to expect from our RPG's.

    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.

    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.

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

    We'll be playing this one for a long time.

    Nightfall doesn’t really bring anything new game mechanic wise to the Guild Wars franchise, but it does offer some beautiful environments and cultural inventiveness to an otherwise bland fantasy genre.

    A great new dimension is brought to the already stimulating Empire at War game. With more units more missions and a whole new faction to play with this game is great. Now go corrupt the galaxy.

    Monolith clearly made Extraction Point just for the people who loved the original F.E.A.R. It offers an extension to the game, but not much else falls under the “new” column.

    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.

    Far from an Editor's Choice game, but it's still fun just for the novelty of it all. Don't set your expectations too high and you won't be disappointed.

    It’s good to see Sam & Max back in action, but the fun is over all too quickly. Let’s hope the plot improves in the next episode.

    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.

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

    FSX is a simulator that can be appreciated fully only with tomorrow’s technology.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It’s a great-looking but clunky implementation of the classic “aliens, spaceships and lots of micromanagement” formula.
