    Razor sharp graphics but not much fun.

    Perfect Dark Zero

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 17, 2005 | X360

    Razor sharp graphics but not much fun.

    The production values of the game are great: Crisp visuals, strong audio, lots of modes and replayability. It was clearly well made and designed. I just didn't find it very fun. First, the story is pretty weak. It may... Read Full Review

    More like chess than an arcade game, but without the opponent to give it a competitive edge.

    Hexic HD

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 16, 2005 | X360

    More like chess than an arcade game, but without the opponent to give it a competitive edge.

    The main problem with Hexic is that there's nothing to keep you going - no particular goal (basically you just go as long as you can), or crazy falling blocks like Tetris. If you do nothing, nothing bad happens. It f... Read Full Review

    Like a great girlfriend, it's charming, beautiful, amusing and sometimes a little irritating.

    Kameo: Elements of Power

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 14, 2005 | X360

    Like a great girlfriend, it's charming, beautiful, amusing and sometimes a little irritating.

    The world of Kameo is more lively and entertaining than the one outside your door. Virtually every character you meet has something to say, and some story behind it. The trees and grass are lush and rock in the wind. The... Read Full Review

    Fun for a few hours, but no replay. I regret buying it.

    Black & White 2

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 12, 2005 | PC

    Fun for a few hours, but no replay. I regret buying it.

    I typically love strategy games, from Civilization to AoE and Warcraft, to C&C and Caesar and Populous. But this one kind of sucks. It's fun for a few hours, because the hand system is innovative and very neat. You c... Read Full Review

    Age of Empires III

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 12, 2005 | PC

    Superb RTS with a ton of strategy and tactics, and a few bugs.

    I thought Age of Mythology was the most perfect RTS I've ever played, and I spent hundreds of hours on it. So be aware that I do very much like Ensemble Studio's style of games. Multiplayer is outstanding. In terms o... Read Full Review

    Best multiplayer ever.

    Battlefield 2

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 12, 2005 | PC

    Best multiplayer ever.

    The menu sucks, the game sucks up all your computer's resources, it's buggy and unstable, patching stinks, and load times are horrendously long. But it's still one of the best PC games ever because it's just a lot of ... Read Full Review

    Everything you want in an arcade game.

    Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 12, 2005 | X360

    Everything you want in an arcade game.

    The dual-stick control is awesome: one for movement, one for firing. It makes you feel like you're in complete control... of your ship anyways. Otherwise, the game conspires to make things as out of control as possibl... Read Full Review

    A bit slow at first, but soon addictive, intense and thrilling.

    Project Gotham Racing 3

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 12, 2005 | X360

    A bit slow at first, but soon addictive, intense and thrilling.

    The last racing game I played were Super Mario Kart and F-Zero, so I was a bit out of it. And the first few races of PGR3 were somewhat frustrating, especially on harder difficulty levels. After several trophies and t... Read Full Review

    Convincingly brings the blood, lead and grit of World War II to life. Has a major save bug. Somewhat repetitive.

    Call of Duty 2

    By Eskouster | Review Date: Dec 29, 2005 | PC

    Convincingly brings the blood, lead and grit of World War II to life. Has a major save bug. Somewhat repetitive.

    Urban warfare in Call of Duty 2 is intense, gritty and chaotic, and is at times perhaps too realistic. Germans pop up in expected places, MG42s can mow down swaths of infantry and houses have to be cleared out room by ro... Read Full Review
