I'm playing
Pirates of the Caribbean Online (PC)
Pirates of the Caribbean has a lot of potential, but only if you're squarely in the game's target audience.
Lord of the Rings: Conquest (Xbox 360)

We had high hopes for this game, but it gets everything wrong: poor mechanics, horrible presentation, dull combat, worthless maps, and total contempt for the mythology. Don't waste your ...

I've Beaten
Call of Duty 3 (PS2)
Paris wants to be free - and you're just the solider to do it in the latest installment of the World War II shooter series.
Collecting Dust
Dungeon Runners (PC)
Get your dungeon hack 'n' slash on in this casual-friendly action RPG that will be initially free to play.
Final Fantasy XII (PS2)
Drastically different and yet familiar, this role playing game strikes out its own path through the confines of the immensely popular series.
Metin 2 (PC)
We didn't even know there was a Metin 1 - but a free-to-play MMORPG is nothing to sneer at. Especially one that MMO gamers aren't ashamed to admit playing.
eXteel (PC)
Feel like dropping into the set of the next Mobile Suit Gundam movie? Customize your own robot and launch into combat in this free-to-try arena battle.
Call of Duty 2: Big Red One (PS2)

I Love
Tom Clancy's HAWX (PC)

HAWX is easy to pick up and play, yet it's still ultimately shallow and unrealistic.

Guitar Hero (PS2)
Think of it as Dance Dance Revolution for the mullet-and-leather-pants set
Guitar Hero II (PS2)
The sequel to Guitar Hero has 55 new songs and the option to jam with friends on bass, rhythm or lead guitar tracks. Unless you hate rock, you need this ...
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Knights of the Nine (PC)
Pushing the borders of the ginormous Elder Scrolls IV even further, this adventure centers around the knight brotherhood in Leyawiin.
Lord of the Rings: Conquest (Xbox 360)

We had high hopes for this game, but it gets everything wrong: poor mechanics, horrible presentation, dull combat, worthless maps, and total contempt for the mythology. Don't waste your ...

Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360)

Treyarch ditches the number subtitle and expectedly returns to WWII and the Pacific theatre of war. World at War has extremely brutal gunplay and amazing online multiplayer and co-op modes ...

I Hate
The Sims 2 (PS2)
If you don't mind that it never quite congeals into a coherent whole, you'll have a blast.
Two Worlds (PC)
Three warring factions, two worlds, one hero... Sounds like a lot of stuff.
Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
Master Chief returns to fuel another round of alien-smashing blood-bathery. What are you waiting for? Finish the fight!
