Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (PCCW The Best)
The Granddaddy of console dungon crawlers is still good fun, but it's very easy to beat.

Spy Hunter
It's ok, but I expected more from the SpyHunter series
2001's Spy Hunter remake wasn't nearly as good as the original, and that's pretty sad. Sure, it looks better and there are some nice guns and things for your car to transform into, but it's pretty much just some driving-... Read Full Review

The Movies

Xbox Live Arcade
Good idea, but I'd like to see cheeper games and more than just old arcade stuff.
Xbox Live Arcade for the original Xbox really didn't get going because it launched too late in the console's lifecycle to make an impact. It's a very good idea that is sure to do well on the Xbox 360, but it's not quite ... Read Full Review

Champions of Norrath
Champions of Norrath is a solid 4-player dungeon crawling experience for four players, however, it's not as good as DA2.
Yep, Snowblind got one-uped by Black Isle with Baldur's Gate: Dark Allience 2. Snowblind's latest RPG series, Champions of Norrath is plenty of fun for RPG gamers and Everquest fans, but because it's not a D&D game, it's... Read Full Review
