    Improved.

    FIFA 07 Soccer

    Improved.

    EA Sports hasn't often improved on anything, if ever. NHL was better this year, Madden was about the same and FIFA, well, it got better. This is not a big step over the least one, but it is enough to make it worth hav... Read Full Review

    I just can't justify it anymore...

    The Guild 2

    I just can't justify it anymore...

    This is a game I was looking forward to for over a year. When I played the first version I was happy to have a new style game that was slightly different than everything else. The first word of this sequel made me happy ... Read Full Review

    The Movies

    Entertaining enough to play once.

    Once you get to the end the first time you have played The Movies and you have a couple other games you want to get to, there is no real motivation to play this game again. You've done it, there is nothing more and you h... Read Full Review

    Something completely different!

    The Guild: Gold Edition

    Something completely different!

    The first words that come to mind for this game: Impressively intuitive and well thought out. Just when I thought there was nothing new in the RTS genre, this game (which I picked up by chance one day) comes along and se... Read Full Review

    Spore

    Here is a game you can happily waste some hours on.

    It amazed me when i read about how long it took this game to be developed, and then after finally getting it and playing it, I understood. The time alone in making a game of this caliber would be baffling, and to get out... Read Full Review

    Finally a version better than NHL 2000

    NHL 09

    Finally a version better than NHL 2000

    It took a good long while for any NHL series game to supplant NHL 2000 on PSX for me, but it seems they have finally done it. The game is smoother, more intelligent in the controls and added something I can look forward ... Read Full Review

    Sid Meier's Civilization IV

    Writting this review right now is the first break I have taken from Civ4.

    It has been a lot of hours since I purchased Civ4 and I am not sure if I can keep my eyes open much longer, but I do know this, it was worth every minute and I look forward to doing it all again after a nice sleep. If... Read Full Review

    Black & White 2

    Simple and visually stunning.

    If you have a computer that has good ability to run graphics, this game offers an excellent visual treat. The game itself is a little clunky in the control and there are still a few lingering issues with the game world i... Read Full Review

    Star Wars: Empire at War

    Star Wars lovers will like this game, but only like.

    At first Empire at War is a little confusing in the way things work, but once you get the hang of it, nothing is simpler. The game really lacks a lot of depth, but has enough to make it worthy of playing. The battles on ... Read Full Review

    Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

    It's the next installment of a favorite series, you simply don't need more than this.

    Each and every year I play the new Tony Hawk game, since its inception, and every year I think to myself, "they can't add anything else, and really, I would still play it if it was just the same game with different level... Read Full Review

    NHL 2K6

    Alternative to EA hockey? Try replacement.

    After spending a solid 7 days playing NHL 2006 from EA sports, I returned the game to the video store feeling like I wasted a week of my life. Understandably, I felt like I required some time before playing the "other" h... Read Full Review

    Dungeon Siege II

    Dungeon Siege was terrific, the sequel does not disappoint!

    If you like Dungeon Siege and Legends of Aranna, then you already know what to expect from this game. The single player game is not bad, something entertaining for a little while, much like the first games, but it is sti... Read Full Review

    Prison Tycoon

    Another $20 game in which you get what you pay for.

    I am a simulation fan and when I see the new $20 Tycoon game at Wal-Mart, I like to pick it up and have a look. This time I talked myself into buying because the allure of the presentation on the box seemed exceptional. ... Read Full Review

    Is this really the best they could do?

    All I can say to start is that I am happy I only rented this game. I put some thought into buying it, but decided that since the NHL series has been disappointing in the past, that a rent would be a good start to make su... Read Full Review

    Madden NFL 06

    It's Madden, and that's all.

    Sometimes you play a great game and think to yourself, "this game would be great if all they did was update a few things and keep it exactly the same every year", and Madden is testing that theory this year. This is almo... Read Full Review

    Improved and revamped, and with the NHL back, this is a great time to get your game on.

    NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2005

    Improved and revamped, and with the NHL back, this is a great time to get your game on.

    Where we left off on the first NHL:EHM was a place where a person could really look forward to what would come next. The last version also being the first meant there was plenty of room for improvement. Not only did impr... Read Full Review

    Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots

    A game I waited to play, and wish I hadn't.

    Despite all the good things I heard about this game, I decided to put it off and play another game, and then again, and again. It took me a long time to get to this game and now I wish I had not waited so long. Factoring... Read Full Review

    Staying true to the series.

    Going back to the RotK8 roots, with some nice added perks. If you love the series, this is a must have, if you are new to it, start back at 7 before getting to this one. This time around, it is a little harder to get bor... Read Full Review

    Worthy of a play.

    Once again a real time strategy game full of medieval premise and army building wonder hits the PC, but it just doesn't have it all. Often you have to wonder if all the RTS games out there simply take a few of the best a... Read Full Review

    Worth playing, but not great.

    If you can manage to save yourself $50 and not buy this game right away, you will be better off. This game is worth getting if you can trade it from a friend or wait until you can get it at a discounted price. The game i... Read Full Review

    Highly anticipated, but the excitement was over rated.

    Stronghold 2 is actually the third installment of the franchise, and after playing Strionghold:Crusader, there wasn't a game I was looking more forward to! For weeks I watched the game boards, read reviews and wished it ... Read Full Review

    I really didn't think they could improve NHL:EHM 2005.

    Going from the title NHL:EHM 2005 straight to NHL:EHM 2007 may confuse some people, but this 3rd edition of the series is an amazing upgrade. A few small bugs linger, but the lads as SI are quick to patch these and get t... Read Full Review

    At least it is better than last years version.
