    Whether you’re a young RPG lover who wants to see where it all began, or an elder who wants to relive their glory days, you need to immediately dish out five bones and give Gauntlet a whirl.

    You’re going to get a great deal of bang for your buck here, there’s no question about it. For a mere five dollars, you acquire a cult classic with online play and a flopping thirty achievements for your unlocking pleasure.

    The gameplay is relatively simple, but is entertaining and challenging at the same time.

    It’s without doubt a unique experience. My only true complaint is the ten dollar price tag, which may be a bit steep for the subtle amount of content provided with the purchase.

    The expository sections of Kong really do feel like a playable movie, and there are scenes in King Kong that will make you stop in your tracks and stare at the utter beauty the developers have crafted.

    It's not that Quake 4 is necessarily bad. It isn't. It's just so unoriginal, cliché, and average that it almost hurts.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    From the fantastic gameplay to the gorgeous graphics to the incredible amount of replay value, every gamer should experience this game. It features every multiplayer option you could want, and the feature list reads like a multiplayer gamer's wet dream.

    It couples some extremely well executed facets such as its great sense of realism and lovely visual effects, with its rock solid presentation.

    A good romp, easily a step above the usual licensed junk that saturates the market around the holiday season. There just really isn't anything bad or good about Aeon Flux; it's a slightly above average game that doesn't really bring anything new to the table.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It has exceptional gameplay, tight controls, beautifully scary graphics, and a soundtrack to wet your pants to. Unfortunately, a lack of replay value is just inexcusable when there are so many basic ways they could have enhanced it.

    What’s heartbreaking is that it didn’t gain any knowledge when migrating from console to console. Sure, it has a new coat of fur, a full belly, and a smile on its face, but it’s the same bird you knew many moons ago.

    The core game here is precisely the same as it was in "Project Gotham Racing 2" on the Xbox, but the addition of more Live functionality improves the game considerably. The graphics are utterly gorgeous, as well.

    Gun
    A must-rent because of its enjoyable campaign, but I’m afraid that’s all, due to its major deficiency in replay value.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Sadly, the game offers much less than the Xbox version, and gamers are expected to pay more but get less.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Proves to fall a bit flat due to its lack of depth and its lack of improvement from the Xbox version. The visuals and physics have been enhanced, but those are the only areas where significant changes have been made.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Road to the World Cup can be fun, but it really doesn’t offer as much as the Xbox counterpart.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    The cop AI is ingenious and will regularly outwit you without making you feel as if they are unfair.

    The basic summary of the Xbox 360’s Madden 06 is the Xbox version with amazing graphics and a ton of cut out features.
    • 60 Metascore

    Bugs are where True Crime not only stumbles, but falls flat on its face. It is riddled with bugs, so much so that playing the game itself becomes a problem.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    You will fall in love with the police-chases immediately, and you are still offered the great racing aspects that you already know and love.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Gun
    The main problem with GUN is its lack of multiplayer. The campaign is a fun-filled occurrence, but after you finish it in a few hours you'll be wishing you didn't drop fifty down for it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It has the graphics and soundtrack of a AAA title, but the gameplay just doesn't mesh with the rest of the game to form a game you will be coming back to again.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    One last thing I have to touch upon is the ending of the game, which happens right after you play the final battle in the movie, it's just so completely ludicrous, I'm at a loss for words trying to describe it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    While the general gameplay is fun, the aiming system needs to offer a bit more manual control. Additionally, the AI should have received an upgrade this time around.

    Even with all the quirks, Call of Duty 2 for the Xbox would have been a hit just a few years ago, but I just can't figure out who the market is today.

    The audio is fantastic, and most importantly, its gameplay is superb. HotSwapping is a distinctive new feature, and makes the single-player campaign worth playing.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The new control feature and somewhat simplified gameplay is geared towards the mainstream console gamer that may not have played The Sims for PC. The console-exclusive additions, on the other hand, allow for a fresh gameplay experience for those who may have gotten bored with the PC version of the game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    I really wanted to love this game, I truly did, but it was just way too repetitive for me. Walking around slowly and eating brains is only fun for so long.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It adds something that should have been here from the beginning of its time on Xbox -- online play.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    If you simply can't get enough Fable, then by all means give the developers and publisher some more of your hard earned cash.
