It is a very good game. It’s just that it doesn’t bring anything revolutionary to the table.

A great way to add new travel options to your existing Sim City 4 infrastructure, with a somewhat gimmicky U-Drive-It mode.

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

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

The new additions lack enough substance to make Zero Hour worth the investment for those who weren’t sold on the original.

A worthy expansion to its namesake, taking players through previously unexplored areas of WWII's Mediterranean campaigns.

A quality action game in the Jedi Knight series from Lucasarts with the rare ability to maintain the excitement from start to finish.

Promises great things and delivers them patchily. Playing for any length of time is an exercise in frustration - especially since the concept is a great one.

Simply an amazing game. I can’t say it any clearer than that. Nearly every aspect of the game is perfect, polished, and most importantly, fun.

First and foremost, everything in the action segment requires repetitive clicking. Melee combat requires you to click for each swing. Helping build a structure is an exercise in monotony.

While the action and graphics are cool to look at and play through, a poor excuse for a story and a general lack of depth to most of the game could turn off some gamers.

Changing from the ugly duckling of yesteryear, to 2003's beautiful white swan, Anarchy Online is not the same 'ol chaos you may remember.

If the fantasy element turns you on then go for it. Otherwise, you’re not missing much. The old formula is beginning to look dog-eared.

Filled with crazy characters from zany drag queens to menacing mafia men, the story line is definitely fun and entertaining.

The best of its genre, which isn't saying a lot to be honest, but it will definitely appeal if this is the kind of thing you enjoy. Unfortunately, Enigma's niche appeal doesn't make it a particularly attractive proposition to anyone else.

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.”

This quasi-expansion pack/sequel doesn’t really light any fires, but it does play well. Unfortunately, it lacks that compelling reason to continue playing.

Even the most die-hard adventure fan would be hard pressed to find much entertainment in Dark Fall. The game feels like it’s subpar from front to back.

If you’re looking for something completely mindless, that gives your reflexes a good workout, give Dr. Blob’s Organism a whirl. If you’re looking for something deeper, look elsewhere.

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

The story is as full of holes as a bullet ridden block of Swiss cheese.

Though a tired premise, this game gets just about everything right, offering deep gameplay, excellent strategy, and enemy AI that is both adaptive and unique.

Stretching the imagination and delving into some virgin territory for the MMOG market, Avaria’s Endless Ages offers up a plate of new character types, travel modes and colorful scenery in a first person shooter MMOG, but sometimes being unique isn’t enough.
