I just couldn't dig it by Chad9976 Pros: Starts out easy; decent graphics; original concept
Cons: terrible play control; way too slowly-paced; annoying music; quickly repetitive When it comes to vintage video games I tend to enjoy and appreciate a lot of the “classics” no matter how basic their premise might be, among other archaic features. Retro gamers tend to love Dig Dug, but I’ve just never been a fan of ...

Sims Castaway is Addicting! by Mooncreek9 Pros: Fun concept, decent graphics, challenging.
Cons: Once you've completed the game it can be boring. The Sims Castaway for Wii is fun, but addicting and sometimes very frustrating. When you begin you can choose the number of Sims castaways to create. I started with 2 but deleted the game and tried it with one castaway to get the hang of the game. ...

Life not exciting? Obviously haven't played Oblivion... by imtoogood Pros: LONG, LOTS OF ADVENTURING, FUN, GOOD, AMAZING, NEVER GETS OLD
Cons: No online play. This game is way to good to just be ignored or left on the store shelf. If you have ever walked by this game and didn't even consider buying it, think again. This game is fantastic, which is the reason why it's titled "Game of the Year". You really don't ...

Baldur's Gate I: a great game for its time by corey_russell Pros: Immersive game world, great customization on the characters.
Cons: Some bugs, can cause crashes. Pathing isn't the greatest. SUMMARY: If you like role playing games, games that play very close to D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) rules, like creating your own character and seeing them grow, or just want to forget about the world for a while, this game is for you. If you ...

Lemmings Revolution - you spin me right round baby round round... by captaind Pros: Pretty good level design and a good mental challenge...
Cons: ... some bugs and other problems make it decent rather than great... I have fonder gaming memories of Lemmings than almost any other game. Some of the levels would have you screaming in frustration as your planning or timing was fractionally out, making the level impossible to complete; however the feeling of ...

The full Civilization experience without the commitment by krye Pros: Compact Civilization experience without the micromanaging; available on 3 game systems.
Cons: $60 feels a little expensive...until you play it and realize this is a full game. Bottom line: All the fun in 1/4 the time. I've been playing the Civilization series from the original game distributed in 3.5" floppies. It never seemed to matter which version I played, I always had a blast but always wondered where the time went. ...

Not Ashamed to Own This Game by ladyrei18 Pros: BEAUTIFUL graphics, possibly some of the best ever on the XBox!
Cons: Perhaps TOO easy to play. Welcome to DOA. Please introduce yourself. Hello, my name is LadyRei18, I'm a girl and I own Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. This is not a bad game at all. It's a long shot from being bad! But, it could be worked on a little. My scores: ...

The Reason I Bought a Wii by carstairs38 Pros: Inventive and fun addition to the franchise.
Cons: There aren't enough hours in the day to play. So, a couple weeks ago, I was over at a friend's house. When I found out he had Mario Kart Wii, I had to give it a try. The result? I was hooked on the spot and spent the next two days tracking down a Wii system and a copy of the game. It is quite ...

An old school space shooter done right by Chad9976 Pros: Fast action; true sense of challenge; good graphics; high replay value.
Cons: Unoriginal sounds Space shooters were a dime a dozen for the Atari 2600. Although they were all more or less a variation on Space Invaders, each had unique qualities that made it a good game or a pale imitator. Fortunately, Phoenix is one of the better games of the genre ...

Fun for short bursts only by Chad9976 Pros: Fast-paced; fun for a little while; great graphics and sounds; good controls
Cons: Grows very repetitive very quickly; not challenging enough Space Invaders has the distinction of being of the most cloned, hacked and bootlegged video games of all time, but what about its official sequel, Galaxian? It’s not quite as original as its predecessor, but it’s superior to all the imitators ...

The Kakuro Code Makes Me Cross by quasar Pros: some features good for learning, can play without CD inserted, supports notes

Intense action-oriented game that quickly grows repetitive by Chad9976 Pros: A real test of dexterity; good graphics and sounds; smooth controls
Cons: Grows repetitive very quickly; little replay value We all know Space Invaders was the first spaced-theme shoot ‘em-up video game (which, frankly, I feel is way over-rated), but what about all the imitators that followed? Many improved upon the concept (i.e. Galaga), while others never really were fun to ...

Call of Duty, WOW. by imtoogood Pros: Great Gameplay, Great single player, Great graphics, Great online play? Get the point?
Cons: Needs Theatre like in Halo, Cooperative Mode SP and MP is missing Call of Duty 4. What's there to say? It's just a great game, and in my opinion the best shooter game out so far. The reason why I chose this game over Halo, G.R.A.W. and other shooter games is first off, I heard from friends that it had very high ...

Revive the 80s and be the star by Shanti Pros: 30 songs that range from alternative to rock and pop.

SingStar 80s amps singers up with a rockin' intro: As four ordinary players cue up "We're Not Gonna Take It," in their living room, Dee Snider suddenly bursts onto the scene in all his '80s glory: long blond curly hair, red hot cheeks and unabashedly ...

This isn't your father's Pac-Man by Chad9976 Pros: Fast pace; challenging; great graphics and sounds; high replay value.
Cons: Maybe a little too difficult. The very concept of Pac-Man was so original and brilliant it’s nearly impossible to believe it could ever be improved upon. Then Ms. Pac-Man came along and did just that, so how could an upgrade be upgraded? Well, Jr. Pac-Man increases the challenge, ...
