    A lackluster MMO that only does average in most cases, and poorly in most others.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It has surpassed all expectations and that it is, in fact, a very fun and entertaining title.
    • 68 Metascore

    Juiced--as much of a shame as this is because it actually tries out some very good ideas and could have been a contender with some fundamental changes--is more akin to "Street Racing Syndicate: Champion Edition." Take that as you will.

    Shows an incredible amount of promise, but the final product is ultimately flawed in too many ways to get a hearty recommendation.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As far as racers go, Juiced presents the best culture integration of any game this year, something woefully lacking in the genre.

    Hands and mines aside, In the Groove is much harder than DDR in so many ways. The steps are a whole lot harder, and the DDR song selection is taken from the hip-hop and Japanese pop genres, while ITG's music is from a newer selection of rock and trance tunes.

    Given the wonderful environment design, new RPG elements, and extremely well done "gangsta" theme, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas comes as close to perfect as anything in the past few years.

    If it sounds stupid, it's probably appropriate.

    European Assault will not take you by the hand and lead you to the finish. You'll have to fight for every inch of ground that you gain, and you'll meet your untimely demise more than a few times. Along the way, you'll experience a gritty, raw, and realistic combat experience that will give you a greater appreciation for what veterans of World War II went through.

    This is the definitive chapter in arguably one of the most popular game series of all time. If you haven't ever played a Grand Theft Auto game… well, first of all, shame on you, but more importantly, this is the one to get you hooked.

    If you need the drama to complete your experience, the bright green medkits might taint the cinematic sweep, but it's perhaps worth a rental if you're a fan of the series or the genre.

    • 79 Critic Score
    With a vibrant historical backdrop, involving gameplay, powerful diplomacy and interesting strategy, Knights of Honor will have a home on my hard drive for months to come.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It definitely needed more puzzles and a fresh take on the gameplay. The bottom line is this: if you like adventure games, you should enjoy Still Life, but it will definitely not change the mind of the masses.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    As it stands, ER is a game specifically for fans of the show who are willing to stomach the inane gameplay.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even with all of the technical difficulties and bland graphics, I still looked forward to playing the game when I was away from it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you're reading this review, having never played a Metal Slug game before, then all you need to know is that it's an insanely over-the-top 2D action game in which you play the role of a commando who kills a lot of people.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While it may be quite a simple adventure at that, it should definitely be checked out by any fan of the movie, as Madagascar will undoubtedly prove to be a humorous game to help you relax and pass the time.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The real goodness of this title comes from how close it is in feel and tone to the movie, and the cute little details Toys for Bob sprinkled through the levels.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The biggest downfall, however, is the camera; its random movements, poor angles, and quick frame changes hinder the enjoyment of the game. If you are prone to motion sickness, stay far away from Madagascar.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    If you can handle a strategy game that'll ruthlessly punish you for making even minor mistakes, pick this up the next chance you get.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    EA has some great ideas that are just poorly implemented, and it would've been nice to see them rework it for next year.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If anything, Imperial Glory does look exciting and does permit a good degree of strategizing.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    A brilliant, challenging and rewarding game.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It may not be the prettiest or the most innovative FPS out there, but Cold Winter is worth a look.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fantastic and deep experience on the Nintendo DS. The only major downsides of the game are the difficulty, the average sound, and the fact that there's some graphical pop in while racing.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The game exists as a way to take a bunch of little games which could have easily been momentary distractions at work or the like (think Flash game level of complexity, only not nearly good as some of the better Flash games you've played), tied together by a lame premise and sold as a retail package.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It doesn't handle anywhere near as tightly as a good FPS, but this is forgivable, since aiming and the success of your attack is stat-driven instead of aim-based.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With wonderful writing, gorgeous graphics, great voice acting, and realistic sounds, Still Life proves that macabre adventure games are finally coming into their own, although there is still room for growth.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    A mixed bag. It certainly adds plenty for loyal players, but I think it fails to do much to bring in new faces or draw former players back into the fold.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    It's obviously been slapped together from action sequences in the film to make a complimentary game and hopefully some easy cash, but on its own, it's less than stellar.
