Sometimes you will gonna cry too
by dam4rus
Pros: Great combat system.More casual friendly than previous installments.
Cons: Weak boss fights,weak story.Nero's Devil Bringer's potential not fully realized.
Well one of the best console action title returns with Devil May Cry 4.The quality of the series is like a roller coaster trip.While the original blow-ed away almost everyone with it's combat system and style,the second game was a big let down,but ...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 3
Metal Gear Solid 4 - A Reason to Get a Playstation 3
by t13monkeys
Pros: graphics, epic score, ties up all the loose ends, diversity of locations and gameplay styles
Cons: a bit repetitive and longwinded
Sure, the PS3 doesn’t have much going for it, since a majority of games are actually on both consoles, and the few exclusives that 360 has managed to incorporate (Halo 3, GoW 2) easily has made it the console of choice.  But there’s one ...

Fable 2 for Xbox 360
Imagination Required
by itlog
Pros: Relaxing
Colorful presentation
Easy
Cons: No Challenge
Some pointless aspects
Story is forgettable, for a game named 'Fable'
Fable 2 is a game set in the late medieval to early renaissance period. It combines three genres: RPG, Action and Business simulation - however, not to an equal degree. More on that later. 1. GraphicsThe graphics are lush and colorful. It is ...

Space Channel 5 Part 2 for PlayStation 2

by ladyrei18
Pros: Kicking Soundtrack.
Great Dance Moves
Immence Amount of Fun.
Cons: The Game Itself Is Kind of Short.
The Dreamcast original Space Channel 5 wasn't so much a smashing success as it was a cult hit. Not may people played it, and even fewer people heard of it. When I heard that a sequel was being made for the PS2, I nearly cried tears of joy. The first ...

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga for Game Boy Advance
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga: A strong game for a strong system
by garfield135
Pros: Graphics, sound, gameplay, controls, fun factor
Cons: It could be slightly more challenging and longer
First of all, I'm gonna start off with a bit of the story, and then the review.So, apparently, Cackletta steals Peach's voice, so Mario and Luigi go out to get it back. Mario fights Bowzer, and he loses, (really?) and they become allies (and ...

Fallout for Windows
Welcome to the World of Tomorrow
by zero_
Pros: Engaging gameplay is more strategic than it looks. Fantastic sense of style and exploration.
Cons: Lots of time consuming walking around, occasionally confusing navigation.
You're not a true nerd if you haven't been waiting the last decade for Fallout 3 to come along. Like so many other cult classics, the first two Fallout games didn't sell very well at their time(s) of release, and dated as their graphics and interfaces ...

Cons: graphics, blips in judge critque
I'll admit that I'm a sucker for these Karaoke games.I love Karaoke, but hate the fact that bars are smokey, I have to wait a good hour between songs, and I have to watch a bunch of drunk college kids grind and giggle on the dance floor.So ...

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for Sega Genesis
Bluestreak Forever

Pros: Tails is functional!
Cons: The Carnival Night Zone music! Ugh!
Deciding what the best Sonic the Hedgehog game in the popular series is can be a difficult task, but Sonic the Hedgehog 3 brings plenty to the table for one hell of an opening statement. While Sonic 3 doesn't contain quite as many levels as Sonic 2, it ...

Pros: Everything, the game OOZES awesome!
Cons: Nothing, the game OOZES awesome!
Soul Calibur. Everyone's heard of it. If you haven't, there's no better time to. Soul Calibur III is possibly the best in the Soul series since the first game. Soul Calibur II was great, don't get me wrong, but it kind of lacks the same replay value that ...

Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark (Expansion Pack) for Mac
Why do they make the third D&D's the best?
by dmarusz
Pros: Great quests and puzzlles.  good story.  good interactivity with NPCs.
Cons: some graphics issues and not a strategic fighting game really.
At first, I was going to give this game 5 stars, graded on a curve.  For an expansion pack, it is well beyond what's normally given.  Then, I was enjoying the game so much that I thought that it just plain deserved 5 stars.  Now, I'm back ...

Pros: Nice interface and easy to pick up.  Some good MMO stuff.
Cons: arasing fogs of war and no xp for quests.
Starting out as a testing ground to see what MMO players like in a game, Dungeon Runners appears to give you a great game for free. However, the more it lives, the more it is not (free.) Trick? Perhaps. However, it was an interesting enough concept to ...

Cons: The main quest is pretty meh-tastic
In some circles, Fallout 3 is one of the most controversial games ever. Not for what you think; instead, it's a battle between old-school Fallout players whom were into the series when it was PC-only, and new owner Bethesda, who acquired the rights a few ...

GAME 007 JAMES BOND QUANTUM OF SOLACE for Xbox 360

Pros: Good use of Call Of Duty 4 engine, good presentation. Not a failure.
Cons: More Casino than Quantum, no driving segments, short, lacks variety.
As you may have figured out by now, Activision is the new publisher/holder of the 007 franchise. The first game to be released from the company isn't by any means bad, but if they were ever thinking of differentiating themselves from what EA has produced ...

Spore was one of most anticipated games of this year. It was meant to be something like a Sim-Everything, 5 games in one. And anyone who's like me knew the proper reaction to the idea they could pull it off, well, was something like "yeah right" and ...
