    • Critic Score 100
    A true next generation product that must be seen to be believed. Also, let me warn you, this game will chew up your social life and spit it out... you have been warned :)
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 98
    The best racing simulator ever made. That goes for all platforms and systems back to the beginning of time - GT4 is simply the best ever. The cars are amazingly detailed, the courses rich and diverse, and the amount of things to do in the game is impressively overwhelming.
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 98
    My favorite PSP game. It has beautiful visuals, wonderful songs, cute characters, simple gameplay that's easy on the go, and a lot of replay value.
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 96
    Superb in every way, technically, atmospherically, visually, sonically, it's got it all. One of the best games on the PC and one of the best games ever made full stop.
    • Metascore: 92
    • Critic Score 96
    This is a MUST HAVE GAME, with stunning graphics, depth, detail and playability. This game provides a new level of challenge and enjoyment that other games will now be judged against.
    • Metascore: 93
    • Critic Score 96
    One of the best RTS games in PC gaming history - no doubt about it.
    • Metascore: 94
    • Critic Score 96
    Oblivion took our expectations for the game and sent them ... well ... into oblivion.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 96
    Gun
    The graphics, sound, and gameplay all add up to an amazing gaming experience that is fueled by a well crafted story. The missions are varied, the characters are well developed, and the title comes together as *the best* western game ever to be made.
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 94
    The over-the-top style and theme of the game along with some of the ridiculous moves you can pull on an opponent give the game a tremendous amount of appeal to the gamers tired of the "ultra simulators" that we've seen for years on end.
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 94
    There's a fantastic community of players online that are willing to help newbies, as well as plenty of sites with huge databases full of information if you get stuck.
    • Metascore: 88
    • Critic Score 94
    From the moment I got Thrones and Patriots, I have been playing it at 5 hours at a clip – so let me reiterate that this is a fine game.
    • Metascore: 94
    • Critic Score 94
    An in your face, kick butt, super game that offers some of the best graphics, sound effects, and action ever made in a game to date. The art direction is amazing, and the game is facilitated by a story that will recapture audiences.
    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 94
    The PC highlights include the multiplayer version (which is definitely a lot of fun) and the much-much-much improved graphics (of course, you got to have the right tools for the job).
    • Metascore: 88
    • Critic Score 94
    Absolutely terrific. I'm a big fan of the cell-shaded graphics, original characters, and fun gameplay. When you break it down to its core, that's really what makes this title a winner.
    • Metascore: 94
    • Critic Score 94
    Best console shooter on XBox 360, and maybe ever.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 94
    An absolute hit. The newly added defensive controls, offensive abilities (including the highlight stick which might just be the best new feature), and other features add up to a very impressive game and a highlight showcase title for the console.
    • Metascore: 91
    • Critic Score 94
    With plenty that's new to see and do, even without seeing what the new continent has to offer, The Burning Cruisade looks like a fantastic expansion set and comes highly recommended for WoW veterans as well as players that have gone into hibernation (like me), or newbies looking for something fun to take up 88 hours of their week.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 94
    If you love RPGs, then this title is a must have for any PC gamer. With the right hardware, it offers better graphics than any game in its genre to date, with a really nice set of monsters that will sometimes scare you right off your mouse.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 94
    The missions are fun, the environment rich, and the ability to really customize your character is very impressive.
    • Metascore: 95
    • Critic Score 94
    The gameplay of Halo 2 is fun, furious, and on a much bigger/grander scale than the first that really immerses players in a full scale interplanetary war. [Collector's Edition]
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 94
    One of the most original and engaging gameplay experiences ever for a console system.
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 94
    The over-the-top style and theme of the game along with some of the ridiculous moves you can pull on an opponent give the game a tremendous amount of appeal to the gamers tired of the "ultra simulators" that we've seen for years on end.
    • Metascore: 97
    • Critic Score 94
    The kinda game that reminds you why Nintendo really does make them the best.
    • Metascore: 96
    • Critic Score 94
    A future classic. One of the most carefully crafted games I have ever played.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 92
    A pretty addictive title and has earned some great marks for sound and gameplay. This title's best features include the career mode which sucked hours on end from my life.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 92
    Offers up some of the best graphics on the PS2 to date, and certainly is the most entertaining FPS game we've played on the console ever.
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 92
    The neatest thing about FFVTTR is that you truly interact with the environment – you can destroy buildings, and even pick up lampposts to swat opponents. This is a serious innovation and really makes the game stand out.
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 92
    The graphics are jaw-dropping, the sounds is amazing, and the missions are varied and fun to play.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 92
    Tremendously fun title to say the least.
    • Metascore: 61
    • Critic Score 92
    A lot of games these days rely on ridiculous move combinations to advance levels, or increased difficulty means that your enemy has more health and you deal less damage. DW5E actually keeps it real by making the difficulty based on skill more than the other cheap tricks developers are using these days, and the AI is first class.
