    Simply Doesn't Work

    I could not get my Kinect to register the floor with this device. I put the Kinect in every position imaginable: 2 feet from the ground, 3 feet, 4 feet, 5 feet, and 6 feet. Nothing worked. The Kinect simply could not ...

    Good for short sessions but not much depth.  Fairly fun for the price-tag.  Creative as a puzzle-type game.

    Mr. Driller

    Good for short sessions but not much depth. Fairly fun for the price-tag. Creative as a puzzle-type game.

    The good: tons of replay value, simple but addictive game-play, fairly original concept The bad: Time-attack mode can be very tedious, narrow game-play means short sessions (good & bad) Mr. Driller for PS1 and Dre... Read Full Review

    Fun genre for newcomers to video-games.  Good activity for a group of people.  Very dated graphics.

    Gauntlet: Dark Legacy

    Fun genre for newcomers to video-games. Good activity for a group of people. Very dated graphics.

    Gauntlet: Dark Legacy (XBOX) I wish they made more games like this these days. While they're not exactly hard-core, they are more accessible to people who don't usually play video games. This is one of the few games... Read Full Review

    Well worth the $20 it retails for.  XBOX 360 version is a good alternative to playing on an aging computer.

    BioShock 2

    Well worth the $20 it retails for. XBOX 360 version is a good alternative to playing on an aging computer.

    OK, so for those of you who know about Yahtzee the game reviewer, you definitely need to go check out his game reviews on the Escapist website. He is absolutely hilarious and he usually doesn't steer you wrong. Howev... Read Full Review

    You would be hard-pressed to find a better game for $20. Great adaptation of the tower-defense genre!  Fun for all ages!

    Plants vs. Zombies

    You would be hard-pressed to find a better game for $20. Great adaptation of the tower-defense genre! Fun for all ages!

    The Good: Very accessible, fun, humorous game. Affordably priced and really fun game-play. The Bad: Almost 2/3's of the story mode is too easy Plants vs. Zombies is a charming game. It's fun for both adul... Read Full Review

    Master of Magic: Like Civilizations Only with Magic

    If you are a fan of Turn-based-strategy games like Civilizations, Alpha Centauri, Masters of Orion I and II, and other great titles under this genre, this is a game for you. Its a DOS game released in '93, so you'll nee... Read Full Review

    What a waste.   This game "plays" like an 8-hour shift at a cubicle job.  Not fun at all.

    Master of Orion III

    What a waste. This game "plays" like an 8-hour shift at a cubicle job. Not fun at all.

    Apparently some people actually enjoy this game once they get over the daunting interface. While Gamespot claims this game has good points after you overcome the learning curve, I still see this game as a complete fai... Read Full Review

    Little new content since 10th edition; but for $20 it is worthwhile for those interested in new Academy material.

    Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition

    Little new content since 10th edition; but for $20 it is worthwhile for those interested in new Academy material.

    The Good: Inexpensive game, slightly more content in Academy section, some minor additions to "fun" section, good graphics The Bad: Online play does not support matches with Chessmaster 10th edition, very few on... Read Full Review
