Key for Reviews

Save yourself by not going near this game. It is bad and nothing else.

This game has a few good features, nothing really new. Might have a lot of bugs or it might just be a rehash of an old idea. It's execution isn't quite right.

A pretty good game. Has many redeming qualities. Might have a few bugs or niggling features.

An excellent game. Might be missing one or two features which prevent it from vaulting into our next category. Might also be a game which does an excellent job in a proven genre but breaks no or little new ground.

This is one of the best games of all time. One of our favorites. What more can we say then buy it at any price. Not too many games will get this rating but when they do they are excellent games. These games will keep your attention for a very long time. 

Breakdown Key

Red: Terrible to Bad. This is not one of the game's selling points.

Yellow: Average to Good. Does okay but not too good.

Green:Great and up. Chances are you will enjoy this feature.

Music: Just how good and enjoyable is the ingame music?

Sound: Are all of the sounds in the game professionally done? Do they fit what they are describing? How cool are they?

Graphics: How does the game look? Do the graphics play fast? Are they easy to look at or are they pixelly goo?

Solo Play: How good is the storyline? Does the game have a multiplayer simulation/ skirmish? Are the missions fun and cool to play?

Multiplayer: Is it fun to play this game with other people? How stable is it? Which protocols does it support? Are there many modes of play? Are there new features available in multiplayer which aren't available in Solo play?

Fun Factor and Longevity: Some games may have the coolest graphics in the world but just aren't fun. If so you can find hints of that in the Multiplayer and Solo Play areas but here is where we let loose. Longevity is how we think this game will hold up against the new titles coming. This also considers how long you can play this game without getting bored of it.

System Requirements: This tells you what we think of how much horse power a game requires to run. We also tell you if we have gotten the game to work on slower machines than what is required on the box. We also recommend what you need to run it here.
