Entertaining while it lasts, but not innovative in gameplay or storyline.

As an added treat for fans of this area of The Sims, Superstar features new simlish phrases to go along with the new careers in entertainment, most notable among these being simlish singing.

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

I can take points away from the game for many things, but none of these things really detract from the fun that you can have with this game. The game is about one thing, and one thing only - fun. And it delivers.

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.

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

A nicely streamlined space 4X game, which hits the right balance between strategy and micro-management.

A solid RTS experience that uses the hook of streamlined play without requiring resource management.

Takes the theme park genre and injects it with a little dino-fever. The end result is surprisingly entertaining!
