Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows [PS2]

Whether you play it alone or with friends, this uninspired update to the '80s swords-and-sorcery arcade dungeon crawl misses the mark with its boring, mindless action and short, forgettable quest.(Posted on 12 December 2005 05:12 PM)

Wild Arms Alter Code: F [PS2]

The Breeders' Cup may carry a lot of clout in the world of Thoroughbred horseracing, but it doesn't mean much when applied to a shallow horseracing simulation such as this.(Posted on 1 December 2005 03:12 PM)

Magna Carta: Tears of Blood [PS2]

Magna Carta: Tears of Blood is a generally unremarkable game that manages to pull itself together thanks to its story and interesting characters.(Posted on 29 November 2005 05:11 PM)
