Graphics, gameplay, sound, story, and characters are all outstanding.

Could possibly be the best game ever.

The comparison between THPS2 for the Dreamcast and PlayStation can be directly correlated to a comparison of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.... Because Spears (like the Dreamcast version) is four times as enhanced as Aguilera, she is recognized as a better product.

It is with out a doubt the best real-time strategy game on the market today. The multifaceted game play and shear volume of missions should keep you battling for spice until your eyes turn blue.

While THPS is one of the finest games ever made, THPS2 is so much better that it makes the first seem almost unplayable.

From the jaw-dropping opening sequence--really, my jaw did drop--to the production extras rewarding you for your efforts, TLJ will likely impress any adventure gamer and even some who'd shun the label.

SSX is so good, you'd better strap yourself into your favorite gaming chair, and have plenty of Kleenex and wet-naps on hand.

Having to get excited about what GT3 can do for the PlayStation2 gamer is like having to get excited for Christmas--it's a done deal. What's even better is that GT3 is best played with a cold beer open and sitting on the table next to you.

From the music on the radio to the individual sub-missions that make up a large part of the game, GTA3 pulls it off with amazing ease.

If you liked "Diablo II" and you are aching to get back in and play some more, there is no better reason than LoD.

It's everything you loved about the original (1998's RPG of the year), yet infinitely more refined.

Quite simply the most ingenious, addictive and meticulously-crafted and executed computer game of the year thus far.

Tricky has everything that SSX has and, along with tons of DVD extras, gives us all another reason to crash those slopes again this year.

Fans of mission-based first-person shooters like "GoldenEye" will be dancing in the streets and signing Greek folk tunes. Yes, Zorba, this game is that good.

The overwhelming production of this game immersed me in the story. So, when I finally tore myself away from the one-player game to give the online multiplayer a try, I quickly realized that Starlancer had silently blown a huge hole in the side of my head.

Almost instantly did I realize that this wasn't a computer I was toying with, but a real live person! A person who goes for it on fourth down, when the computer would unflinchingly punt it.

A gorgeous experience -- as close to donning the full leathers as most of us are willing to come.

So far above and beyond the majority of real-time strategy games out there, it's tough to find any shortcomings at all.

The true star of the game is its speed. Never before in a racing game has the feeling of cruising at over 100 MPH been so perfectly conveyed.
