With gameplay stuck in a mid-90's fad that was in itself considered arcane by any gamer's standards at the height of its popularity, Legacy of the Spirits troubles me with its thrown-together, "let's take advantage of a passing craze before it completely dies" feel.

In today's fast-paced world of instant rewards and gratification, he feels way outdated. It's sad in a way, like the passing of an old friend who has given so much to the world, but it is unfortunately Pooh's time to go.

Call me crazy, but I like things simple. I prefer "NBA Street" over V3 despite the unlockable stuff and refined gameplay elements in V3. The camera angles were wonky for my tastes and the in-game announcer came close to ruining the whole game for me and my issue with the gameplay timing is perhaps my own.

One of the best arcade sports titles to release. Ever.

The choice of game modes make it absolutely perfect for any child you can think of, and while the main game will not take all that long to finish, the unlockables, minigames and virtual playground will keep them coming back for more for a good long while.

The only real weakness of the combat engine at all is the lack of any sort of auto-targeting system, which makes using ranged weaponry frustrating.

May not be a huge innovation from the last chapter, but it does fix a good amount of physics and character control issues.

Mediocre at best, and nail-bitingly frustrating at worst. A couple of interesting concepts lay mired beneath poorly executed game design.

To be fair, it hasn’t broken any new ground, didn’t dazzle me with its graphics, and included that same annoying pseudo-speak that all of these games seem to integrate.

I only have a few complaints about it; camera movement and first person x and y speeds were a bit slow for my liking.

While this game lives up to Square-Enix's well-deserved reputation for quality gameplay, it lacks the depth of their best and most famous titles.

It's not something you can play for weeks and weeks on end, but rather a game you can play for three minutes or three hours and still have a blast.

With tons of cameos from classic Marvel characters like the Black Widow, dialogue penned by Punisher writer Garth Ennis, and the sort of loving attention to detail that could please the most finicky of Comic Book Guys, the Punisher is practically a textbook example of how to do a good media-to-game conversion.

The Punisher isn't quite a top-notch must-own title, but is definitely worth more than a cursory glance from anyone who likes their action games to be a fun romp with big guns, large amounts of enemies, and fairly solid gameplay.

When it comes to multiplayer matches, this one will be the reigning king in my Gameboy for a long time to come, though I admittedly won't be popping it into my link port-less NDS again.

It's an unpleasant surprise that Tork turned out so utterly "blah."

The real problem is that Suikoden 4 fails to stand up to role playing games that came five years or more before it. The title looks, plays, sounds, loads, and I dare say is written like a first-generation import Playstation 2 launch effort.

What RE4 does is put the "survival" feel back into the survival horror genre. It's nice to see the originator back on the bloody cutting edge.

A fun and truly enormous action game based around that most perfect of gaming goals: blowing up anything that so much as <I>thinks</I> at you funny.

An immaculate production, with the combination of heavy firepower and loosely structured gameplay. If you like Doom, Halo, Serious Sam or any other game that's designed around mass mayhem and flaming wreckage, you'll be perfectly at home.

The good news is it's deep and complicated in the way it should be: learning the subtleties of the game and becoming successful, not in just learning how to play the game.

A much better game than the original. The single player, while still weak compared to multiplayer, is longer and more engrossing.

A fun game, but if you played the first, you played this one.

The main thing that it has going for it is that it recreates its franchise so faithfully that you feel as if you're completely in control of its world.

Good game, good story, flat presentation.
