Hardcore fans of the Dreamcast release of Headhunter will probably enjoy Redemption since it is a continuation of the same formula, but be prepared to struggle through some gameplay problems that keep it from tipping the needle above that mainstream level on the radar.

That single playthrough is an entertaining one to say the least, which is more than can be said for most movie adaptations. Despite the game’s failed combat system, the overall experience is one that’s faithful to the franchise and well worth playing to any fan of the movies.

A standard sci-fi shooter that only die-hard fans of the series will really appreciate. Even though the game features the use of Cyclone armor, and cameos from the anime series, there is just something missing from Invasion that makes it feel anything but Robotech.

The real key to Arkadian Warriors’s success is the way in which Wanako made the user interfaces super simple and extremely user-friendly.

For twenty bucks, it's hard to really slam MLB SlugFest 2006 for essentially being the same game as "Loaded." Removing the online play may irk some, but the Create a Player is an overall better feature in the long run.

The game suffers from what appears to be a contradiction of gameplay elements. The overall theme is geared toward a more mature audience, but the gameplay is something that would appeal more to a younger crowd.

It has impressive visuals and a likeable cast, but the combat and platforming felt like they were designed to appeal to 5 year olds, not exactly the perfect demographic for a game based on PG-13 movies.

Overall Front Mission Evolved is an enjoyable entry in to the series that takes on a new direction. Veteran action fans might want to skip this title if they are looking for a story to rope them in.

Surprisingly fun and simple to pick up and play. The numerous game variants have a way of keeping the game fresh and the inclusion of Xbox Live support is wonderful to see from a budget game.

The gameplay, graphics and audio all cast the stench of unfinished, rushed junk. It is sad that this was the only Xbox baseball game to get online play as I would really love to play quality baseball online.

If you are in the mood for a mindless action game that will provide you a short burst of fun, this title will fit the bill. It starts off fun and has enough of the Evil Dead feel to warrant its price tag.

Anyone who was a fan of the coin-op original, who was letdown by the NES version, should be more than pleased with what has been carried over to Xbox Live Arcade.

I find it hard to believe that any gamer, even the hard-core puzzle lovers, will play more than a few hours of Egg Mania.

Expect many to rejoice in trivia paradise online or with friends at home to this basic, yet solid, title. Now put down the mouse and pick up the die because it’s time for me to roll on out. Cheesy? You’re damn straight it is!

It’s obvious that a lot of effort was put into certain elements of the game and its presentation. But no matter how nice the car looks on the outside, if the engine isn’t working you ain’t goin’ no place. Alone in the Dark is just that, a game going no place and with no reason in the world to suffer it.

The platforming action is pretty solid, but the combat quickly becomes mind-numbingly repetitive.

The concept of Iron Phoenix is very intriguing and it has been pulled off nicely. A sixteen player online fighter is innovative, but Iron Phoenix's execution holds it back just slightly.

Comes up short from almost every area with what is needed to make a successful basketball game on one of today’s next-generation systems.

Overall, the sound is probably one of the biggest factors of the game that really makes you feel like you are a part of the Star Wars universe.

If I was limited to one word that described Samurai Shodown V, it would have to be unique. From the character designs, to amazingly thematic music, and unique twist on combat, this is a 2D fighting series that may not have gotten the crappy Hollywood movie like some other games in this genre, but it deserved a look then and warrants one now.

What really brings this game down is the sub-par graphics, terrible framerate and fairly poor voice acting that eliminates any interest in the plot.

To a jaded, seen-it-all gamer like yours truly, it seems like a good idea that didn’t get executed to enough of an extent. A completely redesigned Vigilante 8 game with next-gen graphics and physics would be super awesome, if you ask me. But probably not appropriate for Xbox Live. This one is definitely meant for those who truly can’t let go of their childhood.

The great presentation and audio is what really keeps the game alive. If only the developers would have taken more time and attention to detail in some of the gameplay physics, level design, or graphics this game could have been a contender.

There’s no question that Aegis Wing is fun and challenging, but it would be a hard sell if it wasn’t a giveaway.

A great-looking but ultimately unfulfilling experience. There’s a lot of flash and flair, but not a whole lot of substance.

A lifetime's work of demolition awaits you since nearly everything is destructible in Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. Camera and detection are sometimes issues, but this was kind of expected due to the gameplay style.

In addition to the welcome multiplayer action featured in Arkanoid Live!, Taito also included a rule set different than original coin-op version.

Lacking refinement and that finesse games like THPS just scream, BMX XXX is just a cheap thrill for a Saturday afternoon when you are really, really bored.
