    While not the most visually or aurally stunning, Napoleonic Wars has fun gameplay and a lot of lasting appeal and replay value.

    If you hate turn-based strategy and card collecting games, this probably isn't for you, no matter how big a fan of the series you are. But if you can keep an open mind, or if you really want to learn more of the Prince of Persia back story, this is a fun game that has a lot going for it.

    Graphically, TS2 doesn’t look a heck of a lot prettier than it did on its Xbox debut.

    This one is a good way to spend $30 if you’re a fan of the show, or Prince of Persia, or just want a fun quick game to play that has a lot of replay value packed into it.

    I'm also surprised at how well the audio came out here. The music, in particular, does a fantastic job at getting across the overall vibe of the area you're in, and/or, the side you"re playing on.

    In the end, the game is just more of the first: mindlessly slashing waves of AI-less monsters coming out at you to Satan’s music, with the extra touch of intensified seriousness and atmosphere.

    Any RPG fan owes it to themselves to check it out for its strong story and offbeat, but fun, gameplay.

    What sets this game apart is of course, the mecha. While inside the trotmobile, the controls feel very much like operating a machine thanks to the use of both analog sticks needing to work in coordination to move around.

    Incorporates elements of several different games to create a masterpiece. Other than the issue of the mediocre difficulty level, this game bundles up for assured fun for any Xbox owner looking for a fright.

    As a licensed game, it’s fantastic. It does justice to the source material in both the movie and comic strip, while providing a good game on top of it.

    It’s another addicting puzzle game for the PSP, but this isn’t quite as good as "Lumines" was. Had the two games been packaged together, they would have been arguably one of the best puzzle packages ever.

    Almost as good as its big brother counterparts. Almost.

    The unique design of the dance mat allows for some frenetic new dance moves to keep you and the 100+ songs occupied for a while.

    Thankfully, we all know it is not the graphics and sound that makes a game. The actual gameplay for RGA is some of the best I have experienced of the dozens of racers that are available for the GBA.

    While there is a certain level of frustration to be had with the gameplay, this tale is worth the twenty hour journey. The amount of humor it has and the ability to be nice or mean adds some replay to the game, enough that it holds its own compared to others in the genre.

    While Curse of Darkness may arguably be better than "Lament of Innocence," it still isn’t as good as the side-scrolling entries. There’s just something about the translation into the 3D environments that makes Castlevania lose its charm.

    Dead Rising was the closest to a perfect original game that has been made in quite some time. It's unfortunate that the game was weighed down by bad decisions and poor planning.

    Unfortunately, both the action/adventure sequences and the platforming/puzzle solving sequences are fairly basic and, therefore, rather easy.

    The original was so innovative that playing something just like it doesn’t carry that "been there, done that" feel most games have these days.

    The graphics are solid, though nothing spectacular. Gameplay is very streamlined, and the controls are very easy to learn.

    If you’re looking for a unique RPG experience that graphical harks back to RPGs of the SNES or early PS1 era, this is your game.

    The game’s story and visuals complement each other, and get across a genuinely emotion story, while the audio furthers it.

    If you’ve been pining for something new with your strategy RPGs, look no further than Stella Deus.

    An absolutely beautiful game with great artwork, graphics and sound. If given a bit more time SSS could have been one of the GBA's premiere RPGs with its strong story and wonderful production.

    Other than missing out on the presence of Paula Abdul, Konami made great use of the American Idol license by implementing a well executed career mode.

    Overall, Syberia ended up being one hell of an experience from beginning to end. I wish I could recommend this game for all, but as stated above this style of game isn't for everyone.

    An incredible accomplishment on the PS2. While it has lost a few features compared to the 360 version, most of the concept and game has remained intact, and remains enjoyable to play.

    This game is still great overall. Story, sound and battle mechanics are still as nice as I remember them.

    UC2 from my experience is full of teens that want nothing more then to humiliate anyone who dares try to give them any helpful advice and accuse you of cheating or being some kind of weapon whore if you score a frag.

    The game also has several bugs, such as moving through cars, and the fact that you only suffer from car crashes by a temporary drop in speed before accelerating. In this sense, the game feels like it was rushed.
