Rating: 7/10 | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men | The same goes for Kane & Lynch: Dead Men in 2007. You probably won’t remember it, due to its fairly underwhelming gameplay; no chance of GotY hardware here, unfortunately. |
Rating: 9.6/10 | Mass Effect | Despite it's flaws, there's no denying that Mass Effect is one of the best games of the year |
Rating: 5.7/10 | Shrek-N-Roll | Developer Backbone has done a decent job on Shrek-n-Roll, but it’s not likely to win any awards for what it does. |
Rating: 8/10 | Mutant Storm Empire | Mutant Storm Empire uses a scaled difficulty system which rewards players for taking bigger risks. |
Rating: 7.8/10 | Scene It? | Nearly anyone can plop down on couch and get enjoyment out of Scene It? |
Rating: 7.9/10 | F.E.A.R. Files | Fans of the original game will just be happy to have additional F.E.A.R. universe bits to mess around with, and should pick F.E.A.R. Files up for the fifty dollar price tag. |
Rating: 8/10 | Viva Pinata: Party Animals | Okay. I’ll admit it. When Viva Piñata first came out on the Xbox 360, I didn’t think there would be much to it. |
Rating: 7.9/10 | TimeShift | If TimeShift is any indication of what the folks at Saber Interactive can do, we can’t help but think that we’ll be seeing big things from them in the future. |
Rating: 8.1/10 | Naruto: Rise of a Ninja | We suggest at least giving Naruto: Rise of a Ninja a rent. You may be surprised what kind of gaming enjoyment can be found underneath the veil of a young adult ’toon. |
Rating: 8.8/10 | Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation | The Japanese development house of Namco Bandai rounded out the visual flair of Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation with, er, flares, vapor trails, cloud wisps mid-air explosions and anything else that could possibly be seen in an aerial battle besides plane |
Rating: 6.5/10 | Tetris Splash | Every once in a while, a game comes across my desk that makes me start to feel a little bit old. |
Rating: 8.5/10 | FIFA Soccer 08 | While this current FIFA is solid, EA still needs to put its best cleat forward and utilize this latest SKU as a stepping stone toward soccer game nirvana. |
Rating: 7.8/10 | Eternal Sonata | As a JRPG, Eternal Sonata follows many of the standard conventions |
Rating: 7.4/10 | Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights | The tuner-style car scene is alive and well in the U.S., thanks in large part to trends plucked directly out of Japan. |
Rating: 9/10 | NHL 08 | Early ’90s gaming was quite a bit different than what we have today. |
Rating: 7.5/10 | Fatal Inertia | All told, Fatal Inertia isn’t a bad first foray into the racing genre for Koei. |
Rating: 7/10 | Band of Bugs | This is a turn-based strategy game through and through, so fans of the genre will likely have a great time with Band of Bugs. |
Rating: 9.5/10 | BioShock | It’s not hard to see why Rapture would have been such an enticing place to consider living. |
Rating: 8.2/10 | Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved | Geometry Wars is a perfect example of why the Xbox 360 will be a success. |
Rating: 6.8/10 | RoboBlitz | if you liked the demo and think the $15 price tag fits—then you should go for it. I can only say it didn’t do it for me. |
Rating: 8.7/10 | Marble Blast Ultra | Live’s Arcade and the 360 hardware makes this a perfect time to bring back the ol’ cat’s eye for a swing around the block. |
Rating: 8.5/10 | Assault Heroes | The elder gaming community’s love affair with the berzerker shooter has actually gained momentum after the fall of the arcade. |
Rating: 7.1/10 | Small Arms | Those are good reasons why Small Arms doesn’t bother me as much as it could. |
Rating: 9.3/10 | Alien Hominid | The big buzz of E3 2004 centered on the now popular indie game development scene. |
Rating: 6.1/10 | Tetris Evolution | Even if that is more of an oxymoron than an accurate assessment, the people at THQ have gone to great lengths to try and make Tetris Evolution the most “next-gen” |
Rating: 7.4/10 | Shadowrun | Ultimately, Shadowrun is frustrating, mainly because the only thing keeping the game from being great are several glaring flaws. |
Rating: 9.3/10 | Forza Motorsport 2 | Huffing race gas kills brain cells…dead |
Rating: 9.7/10 | Halo 3 | THE END IS NIGH! |
Rating: 6.9/10 | Overlord | The Pikmin style of play is fun and interesting, but it’s diluted by some of the game’s foibles. |
Rating: 6/10 | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is a perfect example of a game that could have been great. |
Rating: 7.8/10 | Clive Barker's Jericho | It’s that time of year once again—time for that most frightening of days. |
Rating: 7.2/10 | Bionicle Heroes | The story of Bionicle Heroes should be taken lightly, as it’s not exactly a focal point of the gameplay. |
Rating: 7/10 | Rayman Raving Rabbids | Basically, Rayman Raving Rabbids is a collection of minigames. |
Rating: 8.1/10 | F.E.A.R. | For the most part, F.E.A.R. is a fairly run-of-the-mill shooter, albeit one that looks great. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 8.7/10 | Virtua Fighter 5 | Virtua Fighter 5 is about as solid of a fighting game as one will find, especially when literally no competition exists at the present to up the competitive ante. |
Rating: 9.7/10 | Jade Empire | . The key ingredient is its mesmerizing story that complements the outstanding overall art direction. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 9.9/10 | Halo 2 | Halo 2 sets, raises, and Fosbury flops over the bar in just about every area... - SITE AWARD |
