    The Sims 2 University

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: May 17, 2005 | PC

    A compentant expansion pack, to be sure - yet one who's contents are strangely subdued ...

    Almost like the passing of the seasons comes another Sims add-on pack. This time, however, it's for The Sims 2, and thus promises to be more rich and exciting than a lot of the previous Sims 1 expansion packs. While Sims... Read Full Review

    A perfectly decent and fun game, let down by an overall sense of blandness.

    Dead Man's Hand

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Apr 28, 2005 | PC

    A perfectly decent and fun game, let down by an overall sense of blandness.

    Dead Man's Hand is your classic Western tale of revenge, greed, love, and making things go "BANG!" - all in one nicely priced computer game. The story is a familiar one - A hero (El Tejon) is left for dead by his gang... Read Full Review

    Sitting Ducks

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Nov 20, 2004 | PC

    GTA: Ducktown? Not quite - but this is a game that is surprisingly deep for a game based on a kid's TV show.

    Sitting Ducks is one of those impossible-to-not-like TV shows that appeals to all sorts of age groups. It's with little surprise then that the show has been turned into a computer game, but the really surprising thing is... Read Full Review

    A decent snowboarding game with some nice touches, but frankly those looking for a cut-price SSX should look elsewhere.

    Boarder Zone

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Nov 21, 2004 | PC

    A decent snowboarding game with some nice touches, but frankly those looking for a cut-price SSX should look elsewhere.

    Boarder Zone (known as Supreme Snowboarding in some parts) is a very competant snowboarding game packed with some nice touches. It's a shame though that the game never reaches above the level of medioricaty, and does not... Read Full Review

    The Simpsons: Hit & Run

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Nov 30, 2004 | PC

    Fans of The Simpsons finally have a video game that does the show justice.

    Despite their enormous cultural influence, The Simpsons have really only produced three computer/video games of any note - The most-vaunted Arcade game, Bart vs The Space Mutants for the NES and Road Rage, the Simpson's ... Read Full Review

    It's more Tony Hawk Pro Skater 6 than THUG 2, but who's complaining?

    Tony Hawk's Underground 2

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Oct 30, 2004 | PC

    It's more Tony Hawk Pro Skater 6 than THUG 2, but who's complaining?

    THUG 2 is a tricky bird because it's almost like a "cake" rather than an entire new package, borrowing elements from all parts of the series, while adding it's own features to the mix. The story mode has been changed ... Read Full Review

    Cricket 2004

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Oct 29, 2004 | PS2

    Those interested in having a game of Cricket may be better of buying an actual Cricket bat.

    Important note: This review is based off the PC version, but is posted here due to it not being present in the GS database. Apologies in advance. Cricket on computers and consoles has a very underwelming history. Very... Read Full Review

    Batman: Vengeance

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Oct 13, 2004 | PC

    Holy Rubbish Port, Batman! As a game it fails in its most basic requirement - gameplay.

    There can be no doubt that Warner Bros' excellent animated Batman series pulled the whole Batman "franchise" out of a very deep hole. This game, a PC port of a PS2, X-Box and Gamecube game released in 2001, does its leve... Read Full Review

    Backyard Hockey

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Oct 08, 2004 | PC

    EA Sports NHL it ain't, but Backyard Hockey delivers on the most important aspect - fun.

    Humongous' "Backyard" series is known for two things - bright, identifiable characters and ultra-simplistic gameplay that is very suitable for children. Backyard Hockey continues this tradition, and provides a very good ... Read Full Review

    Trainz beats off all competitors simply by being more fun to play.

    Trainz

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Oct 24, 2004 | PC

    Trainz beats off all competitors simply by being more fun to play.

    For a genre that you assume would be suffering from overcrowding, the train driver simulation scene has been underwelming to say the least. Microsoft did their bit with the Microsoft Train Simulator, which featured reali... Read Full Review

    A story you can sink your teeth into, with characters you can believe in and a cause worth fighting for.

    Beyond Good & Evil

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Sep 27, 2004 | PC

    A story you can sink your teeth into, with characters you can believe in and a cause worth fighting for.

    Beyond Good & Evil could best be described as primer for those looking to get into the action/adventure or stealth genres. It's got a little bit of this and little bit of that, and is fairly lightweight in both action an... Read Full Review

    The Sims 2

    By cookiecutter | Review Date: Sep 19, 2004 | PC

    This is the kick in the pants the series has needed since "Hot Date".

    When gamers look back at the history of "The Sims", one might mistake it for the Old Testament - "In the beginning, there was The Sims, and The Sims was good." and then "The Sims begat Livin' Large. Livin' Large begat Ho... Read Full Review
