Critic Score 95
The only unequivocal improvement that can be found comes through the game's morality system. What makes up for the shortcomings in the individual aspects of the gameplay is the rich plot and the interactions between your alter ego and the members of your new crew. -

Yes, the actual game has never looked or played better and the game stands tall more than dozen years after its release.- Posted Jun 23, 2011

The whole game manages a great balance between action and more traditional role-playing elements. It's very good. I like the action parts and the stats/upgrading parts weren't deep enough to lose me.- Posted Mar 10, 2011

Despite the fact that Vice City is ported from the PS2, the new features make the PC version a must buy, even for those who own the PS2 version. -

I already can‘t wait to see what the series has in store next. -

Equal parts fun and gripping game play (and possibly geopolitical commentary, depending on how you look at it), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare stands as stunning example of a scripted first-person shooter done right that equals or exceeds the other big first-person shooters on the market today like BioShock, Halo 3, and Half-Life 2. -

Navigating the environments with a controller isn't as intuitive as a mouse and keyboard setup, but with a bit of patience and some experimentation… well, Bungie has seen to it that Halo 3 will probably be the most played Xbox 360 game for at least the next year. -

Prepare to be challenged like you've never been challenged before to complete an action-adventure game. If you make it through Ninja Gaiden Black, be proud, because it definitely is one of the hardest games to complete that you'll ever play. -

Adding to the story is some of the best voice acting to ever come to a videogame. The entire cast did an absolutely top-notch performance. -

If you can put up with the loading screens galore and a bad soundtrack, Burnout 3: Takedown is an arcade racer that should please hardcore and casual race fans. -

Critic Score 95
A highly polished gore-fest that is easily the best game that I have played on the Playstation 2 this last year. -
-
-
Critic Score 96
The one factor of the game that can be deemed perfect, revolutionizing, unique, fun, addictive, and challenging, has to be the gameplay system. Bioware has created a different type of RPG, for the non-RPG types. -

Critic Score 100
Civilization IV has a ridiculous amount of strategic elements packed into it. -
-
-
Critic Score 94
Though DOA3 may have it beat graphically, no game can touch VF4’s fighting engine. This is the deepest, most dynamic fighter ever created. -
-
-
Critic Score 94
The type of game that appeals to the very basic of collective human subconscious. It isn't just a game, it fulfills a very basic need – the need to destroy – in the same way that we need food and water. -

Critic Score 100
Otherwise, it’s the absolute pinnacle of the Smash Bros. series and a fun game to boot. -
-

Critic Score 100
An evolutionary leap not just in RTS, but for video games in general. -
-

Critic Score 96
The most impressive feature this time around isn't Pandora Tomorrow's lighting and shading effects or it's near perfect gameplay. It's the playability over Xbox Live -

Critic Score 99
The Hawk series soars to its highest echelon in its Xbox incarnation by besting the other earlier releases on the PS2 and GameCube, especially in the graphics department and giving meaning to the old saying "saving the best for last." -
-
-
Critic Score 98
A stunning, involving experience that, though not for everyone, will appeal to both the gamer looking for a long, structured action/adventure game and the one looking for loosely organized chaos. -

Critic Score 95
Splinter Cell oozes cool and sophistication from it’s lead character through it’s many and varied levels, and very slick control scheme. -
-
-
Critic Score 90
While it’s not perfect, this game is pretty close and I dare you to find better value for your money. -

Though Fallout 3 is a good game and it lived up to all my expectations, it is certainly not for anyone wanting a quick game. -
-
-
Critic Score 89
For all its flash, it still begs the questions: Do visible nipples add anything to gameplay? I’ll let you decide. -

-
Critic Score 100
Overall, this is the best experience I've had playing a Zelda game since Ocarina of Time and I'd have to say they are pretty equal in my opinion. Either way, you won't be disappointed getting this game, it's a masterpiece.- Posted Feb 6, 2012

Fortunately, although the naming scheme has strayed from tradition, the gameplay is exactly what you expect of Mario Kart. -

Talk about a game that’s firing on all cylinders, Viewtiful Joe is one high-octane ride. -

Critic Score 97
Taken together, with its hundreds of moves per fighter and addictive modes and polished graphics, Virtual Fighter 4: Evolution is a marvelous game. -
-
-
Critic Score 91
An easy learning curve, excellent presentation and a story that will keep you coming back. -
