You Don't Know Jack: 5th Dementia Review

It's an excellent party game, but unlike its predecessors, its online play component also makes it ideal even when other people aren't at home.

6.8

The Devil Inside Review

The game's story and adventure elements aren't very interesting in themselves, and the novelty of the TV-show premise gets old soon enough.

8.6

Sacrifice Review

Clearly, tremendous effort went into the game's unique fully 3D presentation and into formulating the similarly unusual play mechanics.

8.5

Ground Control is not only one of the best-looking tactical combat games to date, but also one that's suitably challenging and rewarding.

6.8

Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption Review

It's got a great premise and an ambitious design, but the game is mired by its repetitive and often frustrating combat, ill-fated design decisions, and forgettable characters and story.

7.5

SimCity 3000 Unlimited Review

It's best suited for those who haven't played much SimCity 3000 yet, though some of its scenario-editing features are better for hard-core SimCity fans.

7.9

Star Trek: Armada Review

It's an impressive real-time strategy game that borrows action and gameplay elements from many of the genre's classics.

6

Star Wars: Force Commander Review

Because of its dated graphics, ineffective controls, and flawed gameplay, Force Commander falls short of its ambitious intent.

7.6

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun: Firestorm Review

While Firestorm offers only a few changes and additions to the original game's graphics and sound, it succeeds in reinvigorating Tiberian Sun's gameplay.

Bad

Blaze & Blade is a pointless PC conversion of a substandard console role-playing game.

6.4

Ultima IX: Ascension Review

Ultima IX comes across both as an epic and a farce.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul Review

Omikron's purported innovation and originality amount to nothing more than the senseless combination of unrelated but very familiar play styles.
