The story is fast paced, interesting and hip plus the production value is Hollywood quality.

Fans of both the movies and action games should definitely come away pleased with the game, even though the multiplayer is disappointing. The campaign is really that good.

It's not the worst game in the series, but perhaps the most disappointing because of the developer's inability to deliver on the majority of its several cool ideas.

If Tekken 5 would have had tag battles, I have no doubt this one would have gone down as the most perfect Tekken to date.

Some professional race drivers even use the incredibly life-like tracks in this game to prepare themselves for the real thing.

The gameplay, though both short and on the easy side, is a great blueprint for any new first-person shooter to follow. Everything is about outsmarting your enemy with a method that doesn't involve shooting everything that moves.

A dream come true for fighting game fans. If you were raised on this series, you'll be in Heaven, as pretty much anything you could ever want is here, and done well.

I gauge a great RPG as one that sucks you in so much that you lose track of time. What may seem just a few minutes turns into a few hours. That is true of a few great RPGs, and Xenosaga II is one of them.

A great idea that underachieved.

A major disappointment.

There’s nothing done well here that wasn’t already done in the Force modes, which is quite sad.

With tons and tons of unlockable items and a new online multiplayer addition, the reply value of this title is off the charts.

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.

The audio is about as enthralling as the graphics are, which is to say not that much.

The problem with this game is there is not much to it. Your only real goal is to get a high score, which in this day and age is not enough.

A poor man’s "Max Payne." Hardcore Castle fanatics will still get this game regardless, and they may as well should as it is a modest representation of the comic series, it just could have been so much better. To everyone else, you can probably romp right through The Punisher and complete everything it has to offer with a rental.

I have never before had a gaming experience like it, and may never again... Simply put, Resident Evil 4 owns our souls.

A mix of GTA, pretty fireballs, and generic music make Mercenaries a title that doesn’t embarrass the genre, but doesn’t further videogames either.

The single player is desperately lacking in length and substance however, so that leaves you with online play, which while fantastic, is rampant with brats.

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.

The presentation is unmatched by any handheld game ever, and overtly competent in audio and visuals.

The controls in Torrente are hideous. Sluggish control of the character, whether that be in 1st or 3rd person mode, is constantly apparent.

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.

To really enjoy this game you have to be a fairly avid RTS fan. Second, you also have to be an RTS fan that really couldn’t give a rat’s ass about gathering supplies.

It’s the total package for any game of the genre to follow: user-friendly, deep character customization and plenty of replay value. World of Warcraft is a game you need to play.

The style is thick, the charm is oozing over and the alien is an instantly loveable character.

One thing that the other launch titles have shown is that navigating the menus in DS games can be very simple and straightforward. Here though the whole system is clunky, with some icons placed on the touch screen being so small you need to use the stylus.

What matters is that Valve has managed to put together an excellent FPS with a gripping plot, eye candy graphics, and thrilling combat. Those three are rarely seen together in an era of copycat FPS games, which makes Half-Life 2 a breath of fresh air.
