	LEGO Island 2: Brickster's Revenge review (PC) Reviewed on December 23, 2007 This game was great when I was around the age level it was geared for. The puzzles were great and I never really lost interest in this game. This is how the story goes: There is an evil criminal called the Brickster that's finally caught after committing many crimes. When the police catch him, they put him in prison. After a while, he brakes out using an interesting strategy. I'll let you find that out for yourself. When he gets out, he creates havoc in the town and many other towns. Your name i...
	World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade review (PC) Reviewed on December 22, 2007 If World of Warcraft could be summed up into one phrase, it would be either "bait and switch" or "false advertising". To understand how horrid World of Warcraft really is, you must first see through all of the lies put forth by its developer, Blizzard. The first lie you'll run into is the classification of WoW as a video game. The second lie is that it's fun. The third lie is that it has actual content. Three lies, and we're not even past the box the game comes in. Get used to it, because there ...
	Unreal Tournament review (PC) Reviewed on December 22, 2007 The Unreal series originated in 1998 and was critically acclaimed for its single-player campaign, advanced AI and graphics, but its multiplayer mode was underdeveloped. This offering follows the traits of the original, but with a switched emphasis on multiplayer over single-player to rival its contemporaries such as Quake III Arena. Updates in 2003 and 2007 have updated the graphics drastically but still retain the same fundamental formula of open-ended arena blasting.
	S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl review (PC) Reviewed on December 21, 2007 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has to be one of the more unique first person shooters to be released on the market. The game combines the ideas of a traditional first person shooter, with a horror survival aspect, as well as some RPG roots. After a long period of waiting, will gamers be pleased to finally be able to explore "The Zone"?
	Age of Empires II: The Age of Conquerors review (PC) Reviewed on December 20, 2007 Age of Empires is a real-time strategy game that introduces the glory of medieval combat and economy in a unique and fun way while staying generally accurate to history. As the expansion to the second installment of the series, The Conquerors only adds to the feeling of medieval wonderment, taking everything from the original Age of Empires II and adding a slew of new campaigns, technologies, units, maps, bonuses, and other little quirks that make this game a lot more intere...
	Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance review (PC) Reviewed on December 19, 2007 Forged Alliance is more or less what you'd expect from an expansion pack: more of the same. But hey, that's alright, because Supreme Commander was great to begin with.
	Unreal Tournament 3 review (PC) Reviewed on December 17, 2007 If there's a genre that 2007 has been kind to, it's the first person shooter. The market has been absolutely flooded with shooters and many of them have been very good, making it that much more difficult for a new game to stand out. Nevertheless, Unreal Tournament III is easily one of the strongest entries in the genre this year, especially for fans of multiplayer shooters.
	Team Fortress 2 review (PC) Reviewed on December 14, 2007 Until recently, Team Fortress 2 was classified as vaporware - software that is hyped up, then never released, ala Duke Nukem Forever. It appeared on every major vaporware list, and was considered a joke to players of Team Fortress: Classic. The rumors that Team Fortress 2 would never exist got to the point where a fan-made TFC clone for the Source engine was made. Then out of nowhere, Valve announced a miracle: Team Fortress 2 would become reality.
	Fury review (PC) Reviewed on December 07, 2007 It's a lot of hassle to go through for a game that's just very...bland. Fury isn't exactly bad at what it does, but what it does is so limited that it's hard to take it seriously when compared to other bigger MMOs. What Fury is, is an MMO devoted entirely to PVP, and where the game runs into problems is that there's no less grind than other MMOs.
	Red Stone review (PC) Reviewed on December 07, 2007 Red Stone is the thousandth MMO the market doesn’t need, and it differentiates itself so little from others that only those who are already fans of the genre will appreciate it.
	The 80's Game With Martha Quinn review (PC) Reviewed on December 04, 2007 I was a little scared by the box’s blatant abuse of the word “gnarly,” but let all be forgiven by the image of one woman – Martha Quinn. If you grew up with cable TV, you shouldn’t need an introduction to this illustrious VJ.
	Painkiller: Overdose review (PC) Reviewed on December 02, 2007 The game does a lot right, and is worth a playthrough just to see what each level has for you. They all have a similar feel, but at the same time are all very different. Enemies aren't reused. There aren't any palette swaps in this adventure. An impressive line is walked in that aspect. Unfortunately, all is not well in purgatory. While all of the aesthetics are in order, problems come up in the mechanics themselves.
	Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved review (PC) Reviewed on December 02, 2007 There are not many who lament the loss of the arcade space-shooter. With the great advances in visual technology over the years, it seems a strange choice for a developer to step back a couple of decades and hearken back to a simpler time. But that is exactly the premise behind Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, as the popular Xbox Live Arcade game makes the transition to the PC.
	Unreal Tournament 2004 review (PC) Reviewed on November 28, 2007 As much as I love multiplayer first person shooters, the general idea of the genre is getting quite redundant. You pick up a gun, hunt down enemies until you’re dead, respawn, and repeat the process. Maybe you’ll even grab a flag or diffuse a bomb in the middle of it all. There are some other variations, but you are always performing the same actions over and over again. It’s sort of like running a route in American Football, except you’re usually running the same one with only slight variations...
	Condor review (PC) Reviewed on November 25, 2007 Condor deals only with gliding and it does so extensively, but as long as you're interested, you don't need to have previous flight-sim experience. But get used to the ground. You'll be seeing a lot of it.
	3D Pinball: Space Cadet review (PC) Reviewed on November 24, 2007 Although eclipsed in popularity by titles such as Solitaire and Minesweeper, 3D Pinball: Space Cadet is by far the most impressive game to come free with your Windows operating system. It’s a surprisingly thorough pinball simulation, for something that was probably designed to be an easy distraction, and its depth far surpasses anything that those silly playing card or IED-hunting games have to offer. Compared to a real pinball table, there shouldn’t be too many complaints as to its sho...
	7 Days a Skeptic review (PC) Reviewed on November 22, 2007 7 Days a Skeptic is a Jason X tribute. That's one genre for which life is simply too short. It was produced by Ben Croshaw, maestro of the AGS adventure game-creation program, and as such boasts many admirable technical achievements. They just don't come packaged in a very enjoyable game.
	rFactor review (PC) Reviewed on November 20, 2007 It’s a little unfair to hold rFactor’s lack of accessibility against it as it has clearly set out to be a simulation racer. It does a fine job of that, but those who don’t demand flawless simulation are better served looking elsewhere.
	Escape From Paradise City review (PC) Reviewed on November 18, 2007 . The bank robber, Porter, can pick up anything to small machine-pistols (and, in an odd decision to recycle fantasy prefixes on the weapon types, a rusty Uzi) to hulking assault rifles while the crooked cop, Chekov, has a greater command of henchmen but prefers to provide covering fire with handguns. The last of the trio, Angel, a female brawler pulled from death row, simply kicks a lot or arse. Via violence. The three serve individual purposes, embodied by everyone having separate skill branches which they can level up through RPG-like methods.
	Max Payne review (PC) Reviewed on November 17, 2007 The overwhelming shadow of a city - rotting with disease - presses in around you. The neon lights and chittering rats mock you knowingly. The streets are lined with graffiti, trash, and needles. There are more dumpsters than trees. Your fellow denizens are not friends, at least not to you, and usually not even to each other. They're okay with you, though, it makes exterminating them easier on your conscious.
