A spooky and enthralling FPS, [but] the lack of multiplayer is somewhat like jumping into a Ferrari, then sticking to the speed limit.

If you like the humour in the Farrelly films or if you're partial to "Tom and Jerry" cartoons you will love Stupid Invaders.

For all the great things this game has going for it, longevity is its weakness. With only 14 real missions, each of which able to be completed in less then ten minutes, there's just not much game for your money.

Short.

There's only one or two releases per year which manage to get just nearly every element in a game completely and utterly wrong.

Not as good as its predecessor.

Every brilliant little detail of N4 serves to remind you, over and over again, that this is a sim of real class.

By far the best simulation of boxing to date. Spectacular visuals, addictive, rewarding gameplay and the inclusion of many boxing greats are just the tip of a sparkling iceberg.

When you do get in the groove, and you're timing all your jumps perfectly, this game puts you in that hypnotic trance of gaming goodness. It's a very rewarding feeling.

It will reward the more dedicated gamer many times over.

It's hard to comment on what type of game Age of Sails 2 is, simply because most of it doesn't appear to function.

A surprisingly well-executed game (after the patch) which is unfortunately obscured a bit by the difficult interface.

If you own the Dreamcast version, then there's far too much overlap to warrant owning this as well.

While the control system is well thought out, it can at times infuriate as you desperately scramble around trying to reel off rounds into your enemies, while running from them.

A rather uninspired tome, which is bogged down by obscure puzzles, slow story development, and even slower and unvaried gameplay.

Not to say it's a bad game, but each of the elements - RTS and Action/RPG - are only shadows of the best of breed in their genre.

A cookie-cutter "Age of Empires" clone...delivers a dose of good, old-fashioned fun.

An enjoyable diversion at a reasonable price.

While not offering anything special, it has the advantage of running on a low spec PC, and does not require the CD to be present while playing, thus making it ideal for laptop wargaming.

If you're looking for something that's fun, easy to learn and great to have the odd knock around on, then you might have just found yourself a nice little surprise.

You know you're in for a hair-raising experience as soon as the race starts. Unfortunately, the hair that's rising will be on the back of your neck as you realize just how horrid the controls are.

A good-looking B-17 experience with a full range of different tasks to tinker with and some quick blasts of action all wrapped in a lightweight strategy envelope.

It's terribly challenging and terribly addicting, although its longevity can certainly be questioned due to the design of the campaign game.

If games like "Midnight Club" and "Smugglers Run" are your cup of tea, then this way well fit snugly into your PS2 collection.

Like any expertly-crafted tale, you want to know what happens next and see more of the fascinating, seemingly alive world of Wonderland in its new, depraved form.

Possibly the biggest strike against Giants, though, is that much of the gameplay is, well, kind of boring.

Intriguing—if a little hackneyed and too A&E docucrap friendly—stories never go out of style.

Challenging and strangely enjoyable.
