    'Hitman: Contracts' showed the series going downhill. 'Hitman: Blood Money' shows the series running uphill...fast.

    It’s assassination season again and who better to spend it with than everyone’s favorite bald, well-dressed hit man? The latest addition to the “Hitman” series, “Hitman: Blood Money,” brings back some old, deals out some... Read Full Review

    A bad port to the PC or a bad game to begin with? An impressively fused combo of the two.

    A bad port to the PC or a bad game to begin with? An impressively fused combo of the two.

    If someone asks me to take a blue pill or a red pill, I usually just smack the poor fellow across the head. On the other hand, if Laurence Fishburne asks me, well…I have no choice. What seems like years ago, Mr. Fishburn... Read Full Review

    By glassesgeek | Review Date: Dec 26, 2005 | PC

    Those familiar with the series won't notice too much new. As a whole, it's still a great game, but flaws still exist.

    The NHL has been heading down a bit of a bumpy road for the past few years with a lockout fiasco and a slew of new changes to the rules of the game. They’re not alone on this road, however; the NHL series by EA Sports ha... Read Full Review

    By glassesgeek | Review Date: Dec 17, 2005 | PC

    Call of Duty 2 brings yet another amazing WWII experience. However, it's not all that different from its predecessor.

    It only took a small group of ex-Medal of Honor programmers to create one of the greatest World War II first-person shooter games to ever grace the PC and consoles. The small group of rebels, now more commonly known as I... Read Full Review

    It's a rental, but a damn good one.

    Molyneux tries for too much with "The Movies". If anything, it's a great movie making tool.

    The time for the PC first-person shooter of the year has come. She’s waiting and it’s not too late.

    Visuals beyond most PS2 titles and intensity unlike many FPSs. It all ends too soon though with nothing else to do.

    Apparently the PS2 isn’t dead. Then again, that’s what they said about 2Pac and he hangs out at my place all the time. EA and Criterion, a team better known for creating “Burnout” titles, joined forces to create a pixel ... Read Full Review

    The best space battles in the Star Wars universe have finally arrived. Everything else is another story.

    LEGO Star Wars has its problems like any other LEGO game but has something more unique than any other SW Game; spirit.

    Tiger Woods 2005 has plenty to offer and tries desperately to get you to play as long as possible.

    Comparing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 to last year’s version would be pointless and only cause many of you to blow off this title. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 is, as a whole, a great game with more features and modes of game... Read Full Review

    A worthwhile attempt, but I await the third with much anticipation.

    The first sequel to a game is, essentially, the most important part of that game’s series. A failed sequel will cast away the game’s casual players and end up causing a huge loss in popularity. Take for example Devil May... Read Full Review

    SWAT 4 looked to take hostages with its new graphics engine, but instead forgot to take out the bad guys.

    While it takes 10 hours to get a story and the camera can be cruel, the game is very intense, memorable and rewarding.
