The Settlers: Fourth Edition Review

The fact that the basic formula of The Settlers is fun makes it all the more frustrating that, four games later, little has been done to keep the formula fresh.

6.7

Majestic Review

Majestic is a very passive experience, and as the novelty fades, so will your interest.

8.5

Zeus Official Expansion: Poseidon Review

Poseidon is as enjoyable as Zeus and suggests that Impressions' city-building series will just keep getting better.

6.9

Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Review

Fans of previous Resident Evil games will like it, but those who have yet to enter the world of survival-horror would do better to start with Resident Evil 2.

8.3

Startopia Review

It's a testament to Startopia's fundamentally sound design and attractive presentation that you'll enjoy it despite the fact that, at times, it'll make you feel slightly alienated.

5.4

Gangsters 2: Vendetta Review

If the business elements were deeper, or if there was some sort of strategic combat in the game, Gansters 2 could have been a much more interesting game.

7

In Cold Blood Review

It's good that the story of In Cold Blood is so interesting, because the game suffers from being a bit light on both action and adventure.

8.3

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel Review

It'll provide dozens of hours of entertainment to both fans of squad-based combat games and fans of the series and stands a good chance of turning one into the other.

5.5

Dracula: The Last Sanctuary Review

Dracula: The Last Sanctuary has huge lapses in logic, no atmosphere, and very little in the way of respect for Bram Stoker's original story.

5.9

The Messenger Review

What's most disappointing about The Messenger is how it misses the opportunity to take advantage of a great premise.

6.2

The Ward Review

The Ward has some good puzzles and some interesting points in its story, but these moments only punctuate a very bland game.

6.6

Stupid Invaders Review

The easy puzzles and outstanding graphics make Stupid Invaders seem more like a lengthy exercise in computer animation than a fully realized adventure game.

6.8

SimCoaster Review

SimCoaster dismisses the elegant design of its predecessor, and instead favors the often-overwhelming amount of management found in the original Theme Park.

7.4

Riddle of the Sphinx Review

Riddle of the Sphinx makes up for its technical shortcomings with a great location and an impressive amount of detail.

4.4

Poor

Seven Games of the Soul Review

The real problem with Seven Games of the Soul is that it's not only nonsensical, but it's also pretentious.

5.6

Dino Crisis Review

Though it has some startling moments and a few fun sections, it's mostly just a mediocre version of a mediocre game.

7.5

Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business Review

It can be endlessly frustrating, but it also has most of the elements that make the Jagged Alliance series so outstanding.

7.9

Sea Dogs Review

Sea Dogs turns out to be more than the sum of its parts, and its effective combination of three genres makes for an adventure that can be enthralling despite its ...

6.3

Tomb Raider: Chronicles Review

The main problem is that the Tomb Raider series hasn't grown with the times.

4.2

Poor

Timeline Review

The game is far too short, and the puzzles would be easy for even the most novice gamers.

8.1

Escape from Monkey Island Review

Veterans of the Monkey Island series will surely enjoy the game in spite of its occasional problems.

6.4

realMYST Review

It may be a novelty, but it's still a mostly worthwhile one for those who fondly remember Myst.

8.6

Zeus: Master of Olympus Review

Zeus is a major improvement for Impressions' line of city-building games, and it's a significant advancement for city-building games in general.

8.2

RollerCoaster Tycoon: Loopy Landscapes Review

Loopy Landscapes features additional rides, themes, and scenarios - and it makes RollerCoaster Tycoon even more fun.

7.1

Blair Witch Volume 1: Rustin Parr Review

Rustin Parr won't take you very long to finish, but it will give you a few good scares along the way.

3.8

Bad

The New Adventures of the Time Machine Review

It's a nonsensical story periodically interrupted by a string of infuriating puzzles.

6.3

3D Ultra Pinball Thrillride Review

It's a simple pinball game that's just trying to provide some innocuous fun.

6.7

Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 Review

While it has some interesting sequences, and can be really enjoyable at times, more often F.A.K.K. 2 merely seems like the framework for a much better game.

7.5

Cleopatra Review

Cleopatra adds more of just about everything, and makes Impressions' Pharaoh a more complex and interesting game, without disrupting the fine balance of the original.

5.6

Beyond Atlantis Review

Beyond Atlantis is just a chain of nonsensical puzzles and conversations, albeit nonsense that attempts to be mystical.

9.3

Superb

The Longest Journey Review

The Longest Journey is one of the best adventure games in years.

6

Dracula Resurrection Review

Dracula Resurrection is a somewhat interesting adventure only because it's quick, easy, and atmospheric.

7.8

Traitors Gate Review

You'll need to learn lock picking, security-code deciphering, and computer hacking; it's like job training, albeit for what seems like a really, really fun job.
