A puppy…that's right, you have a puppy that will follow you around. He is pretty good at getting his ass handed to him, but in time you will learn to love your puppy.

A unique twist on the point-and-click adventure, chock full of puzzle goodness and a compelling storyline that pushes you to the end.

For the price, it is worth a look for anyone who is a "Mortal Kombat" junkie or enjoys the controlled chaos of "Gauntlet II" or "Wizard of War."

You are not going to find a better game for $20.

Playing with headphones, and in complete darkness, this game is like playing a movie, except you star in it. Warning, it gave me a nightmare the first night I played, maybe you too.

The single player racing modes combine with a track editor for near infinite replayability, even with some of the core gameplay issues.

While it had many elements that were highly familiar to me, there were enough unique elements to keep the game fresh and fun.

I was absolutely floored that this game didn’t come Live enabled. The ability to showdown across the internet alone deserved the attention, but the multiplayer game they did include could have definitely added some value to the title if it could be played remotely.

Guys will love the game for the eye candy and its quirky humor, but it doesn't have the staying power to keep people interested in the long run.

Combat is full of crazed, blood-pumping, lip-chewing action. I used up half a stick of Chapstick playing this game, and it normally takes me a month and a half to use that much.

I would go so far as to say that this game has the best micromanagement system in any RTS. The options were sufficient to attract gamers from a fairly wide spectrum, and the graphics, considering the scale of the game, were incredible.

From the moment I got in game and started doing the new quests and missions, I knew that I would see some great things. However some of the content in the Empty areas seemed to be more difficult than needed.

A marvelous game. However, you may want to have some popcorn with you while you play. Xenosaga: Episode 2’s cut-scenes are long and plentiful, about four and a half hours in total.

I would not suggest that hardcore RTS fans buy this game, as it is mediocre when compared to recent releases in the genre. But if Ol’ Blood and Guts gets you in the mood for smoking cigars and killing Nazis, Blitzkrieg: Rolling Thunder is the title for you.

If not for the AI issues and the few other glitches, I would shout GO GO GO! FIRE IN THE HOLE! However, those stick out like a sore thumb.

I must admit that the lack of online play really took away from what could have been a great game.

This game does have a truly compelling story though. I found myself playing till I could not look at the screen any longer. The addition of the movie footage with Ian McKellen narrating a completely different story was genius.

Just like all of its predecessors, in that it is all about taking a character, wading into combat, and decimating the enemy ranks.

My main objection to Demon Stone is its length. The game is MUCH too short.

A great game for anyone who likes side-scrolling, collection-based games but wants to try something with a lot of new twists on the genre.

I found it difficult to play it for more than an hour or so until I was four hours into it, due to just the awkward feel to the controls and game. Once you get over the hump, though, then you start being able to spend hours playing without realizing it.

Combines some of the basic FPS elements with some of the more dramatic things that have evolved from the recent FPS titles, and has collected them into a semi-solid mass that thoroughly entertains.

The mix of gameplay elements, the many types of animals and biomes to place them in, and the open-style freeform mode allow this game to last for a long time, for both child and adult. I just wish I could make monkeys throw poop.

A good game overall that manages to nail its target audience well but doesn’t provide much to anyone else other than a few hours of distraction from another game.

No replay value at all. The sounds are boring, the action is nothing new and once, you learn how to fly the ship, the challenge is gone.

My main objection to Demon Stone is its length. The game is MUCH too short.

A little more work here and there, especially with the graphics and the sub-par soundtrack features would have had this game scraping a nine instead of just making an eight.

Reply value is questionable, so less than hardcore fans might want to pick this up as a rental.
