NFS: MW is still in the business of immersing you in the world of illegal street racing and it does a decent job of that.

One of the strongest aspects of the game is the outstanding story.

Once you get past the little nuances, such as the fielding and spotty baserunning, there is a solid baseball game underneath.

NFL Street is all about intense hits and all the stylin' and profilin' you won't find in an NFL regulated football game.

The character models won't win any awards, but the terrain and weapons alone make sure that you won't mistake the environment for the present. Buildings, tanks and embankments are all very well done. There is a noticeable downgrade, however, with the Gamecube version which was a surprise.

The one thing I love about war games is that feeling that all hell is breaking loose and things aren't going to be getting better. European Assault captures that feeling perfectly.

One of the strongest aspects of the game is the outstanding story.

You, as the mastermind, must not only create ways to take over the world, but also develop ways to improve your base so that you have the necessary faculties to do so.

A solid game, though nothing innovative. The story itself is decent, but is held back by poor writing and voice acting.

What makes the humor so great in the single-player portion of the game is the wonderful voice acting.

Having no real 'action' elements to speak of or cutting-edge technology requirements, it gives you a solid experience that actually challenges the mental aspect of the player, rather then their reflexes.

If you're on FPS junkie, then I'm sure you'll have a hoot with the game and it'll be worth your time and money.

Where am I? What's happened here? Why can't I remember who I am? These are some of the questions you'll find yourself asking, as you begin playing Breakdown.

I've never had so many weapons available to me in a game before. It's almost overwhelming.

The gameplay is surprisingly addictive and there's just the right amount of humor to remind you that this is, after all, a takeoff of just about every cheesy zombie flick ever made. The one thing I will say, however, is that the game was painfully short.

The sequel to the original Red Faction, it is one that will satisfy the offline FPS fan.

Those of you who loved The Suffering probably won't enjoy this title quite as much. The scares and suspense have been replaced with nonstop action, and a story that just doesn't compare.

Perhaps the most helpful addition for single and multiplayer is the smoke grenade.

Reflections, the company that brought Driver to life, has come up with a next generation game that will stir your soul with that same love-hate relationship. Strap on your crash helmet and step into your firesuit.

Although the new rock and roll theme is fantastic, there isn't really anything else that is new from the previous games.

If you have other gamer friends that love Sonic, you'll play these games quite a bit, especially Race mode. Non Sonic fans, though, will fail to see the novelty.

Customization is the main attractor for games of this style, and Underground seems to have taken this aspect to a completely new level. Each and every part that can be bolted on is officially licensed from the manufacturer.

DreamWorks' Shark Tale is a Jack-of-all-trades for gameplay, but is a clear master for none of them.

Surprisingly, Full Auto controls quite well.

You'll feel like 'Mr. No Depth Perception' from Saturday Night Live, as you struggle to tell how close to certain objects Crash is.

Angry? Don't make me angry! You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

The game is a spin-off from the original Fallout games for the PC. Fans of the original will appreciate and recognize the campy retro-50's sci-fi feel of the in-game jokes, music and cut scenes.

Players will have the choice of either running through the dance card by sitting on their behinds, or actually get up and bust a move using a system compatible dance pad.

Besides finishing first in your races, you will have other contracted duties from your race team. You need to accomplish these deeds while traveling at the speed of sound. Every race will be something different.

Tsugunai: Atonement is another interesting import conversion brought over to the North American market from the Land of the Rising Sun.

I'm here to set the record straight. Read the following sentence aloud while waiving your hand across your face: "This game is not the atrocity that most would lead me to believe."

The button configuration allows a fluid, effortless motion to pull of a trick. You don't have to be double jointed to land a simple grab trick.

This is a totally new and different game (notice the capital "E' in Eye), and to that I say thank God, because why make a sequel to an already perfect game (especially since an entirely different developer and publisher created it (Nintendo/Rare) almost 8 years ago).

The final verdict on Thief: Deadly Shadows is a story about what could have been.

It’s really a shame that EA pushed this one out the door to make launch because it truly shows. The lack of courses is pitiful and the game will get old quickly.

The premise of the game is actually very intriguing. However, while being a 'bad guy' in the Bond universe is a great concept, somehow things just don't feel quite right.

From all of the available characters that could have been drawn upon, Infogrames really left a lot on the table with this title.

Mr. Incredible has the power, but Elastigirl has the cooler moves. It’s like you can kill them in your own style.

I enjoyed this game, because it's one of the few games that you can take a few buddies and play through. It doesn't require much thought and in fact much skill. Anyone can seemingly pick up and play this game for some good fun.

Vampires are cool. If you're reading this right now, there's a good chance you probably think games are cool. Therefore, a game about vampires should automatically be cool just by default, right?

Does Medal of Honor Frontline have its moments? Absolutely! Is it a game that will keep you coming back for more, with innovative gameplay and multiplayer modes? Nope.

Fans of the first Dark Alliance, game will love it, but I found that, closer to the end of the game, the storyline felt very thrown together and I wasn't completely satisfied with the way the game ended.

Throw the slow pace in with the disappointing Read & Lead and you have yourself a recipe for disaster.

Powerdrome appears to be just another futuristic racer. One advantage it does offer over other similar racers of the genre, however, is the ability to race against others on Xbox Live.

For Xbox users, you get additional Battle Mode maps and you have the advantage of having your friends know when you are on the game.

Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick tells the story of cult classic hero Ash as he tries to rid the town of Dearborn from the evil creatures known as Deadites.

Well, grab your pencil and a notebook. It's time to make like a fish and go to school.

I personally can say that I am looking forward to The Incredibles 2.

If you are looking for a quick, cheap overnight gaming fling, then Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude is right up your testosterone alley.

Then the game is extremely linear, which really puts a damper on everything.

With the exception of an added online multiplayer component, there really isn’t that much of an incentive for those who have played this game at all and aren’t waxing nostalgic.

Have fun with the loading screens. It might be a good time to replenish your liquids and reach for a tissue, because you were crying from laughing so hard.

If you want a gritty, no holds barred, bloody action packed war game with enemy upon enemy coming at you then this is definitely a game to play.

For a game that is supposed to be a stealth game, it doesn't progress the stealth action genre at all.

If you are a true fan of the movie, I'm sure you'll find a place for this game.

The sound is just as good as the visuals, mainly because the actors from the film lend their voices to the game.

All of the different battlefields have a degree of variation and utilize the elements very well. You can expect to have altercations on the land, in the sea and even flying through the air.

If a goaltender were to freeze the puck, probably 55% of the time the team protecting the goaltender will be faced with the ever popular glitch.

The biggest fault I found in Deadly Shadows is the A.I. The guard’s awareness at one point can be very high, but then in other situations you’d think he was deaf.

One of the highlights of Area 51 is definitely the weapons. There’s a very good variety of weapons at your disposal, all of which are standard to most first-person shooters.

All in all, the game felt more like a task I had to complete rather than something to be enjoyed.

For those concerned with the legitimacy of the game, Godzilla: StE has the full backing of Toho behind it. This means that all of your beloved monster calls are authentic and have been simulated to the best of Pipeworks' ability.

A collection of Namco's most popular arcade games from the decade of big hair, and valley-speak, is now available on your Xbox video entertainment system (Like, totally!).

Do you want to have some fun in the battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back? You can do that. Do you want to fight as a clone trooper on the surface of Geonosis? Done. There really is a wealth of worlds to choose from here, which is one of the few pluses in Battlefront.

For those concerned with the legitimacy of the game, Godzilla: StE has the full backing of Toho behind it. This means that all of your beloved monster calls are authentic and have been simulated to the best of Pipeworks' ability.

We are not quite sure that he has kicked the monkey from his back and he must now prove himself worthy in the eyes of his peers.

One of the highlights of Area 51 is definitely the weapons. There's a very good variety of weapons at your disposal, all of which are standard to most first-person shooters.

This game can only be recommended to flight fanatics or those into self-abuse.

The graphics in this game are second to none. The detail is absolutely gorgeous and the characters in the cut-scenes come very close to resembling real people, or as real as an elf would be.

If you are looking for a game that is reminiscent of your standard shooter coin-op that used to be found in your local arcade, then look no further because Terminator 3: Redemption will be right up your alley.

Having studied martial arts myself for a few years, I'm aware that multiple drunken styles exist, but I did not realize ninjas were allowed to hit the sauce.

You have to take to the streets with novelty riders you would associate with inner city and prostitution rings. Have you ever seen a crackhead do a 540 Superman off an outhouse?

For a long time, DRIV3R was one of mine and many other gamers' most anticipated titles this year, and, with all the publicity and hype it was receiving, it was one of the biggest letdowns I've ever experienced.

We now take a break from our busy schedule to hitch a ride on the Reading Railroad. Let me introduce you to Monopoly Party!

Fortunately, even if you are not able to have some human companionship, you don't have to worry about falling prey to a lack of scruples. Even on the lowest setting, the computer will not allow unfair trades for property and stands its ground when its back is against the wall.

Monopoly Party! has just about every rule variation known to man included in the game, and players can customize their playing preferences by going through the option section in the rules.

Jedi Academy is exactly what it claims to be at bare minimum; the latest installment of the Jedi Knight series; nothing more.

The flirty protagonist lacked personality, and the nifty wire weapon wasn't quite nifty enough.

Vehicle customization would have been a welcomed addition to a very shallow game.

EA Games’ Catwoman will continue to disappoint gamers that are hoping movie-based videogames are actually seeing a turnaround.

Halle Berry does the voice acting for her character, but she over-delivers almost every cheesy line.

Basically, there's nothing to like about Catwoman outside of the graphics. At the very most, the game deserves a rental.

Catwoman tries to play off as a Prince of Persia-like action/platformer, but its shotty controls and poor combat mechanics leave you feeling like Garfield rather than Catwoman.

Okay, I know what many of you are sitting there reading this wondering. Why would an adult male play a game like this? Well I did it for you!
