Unsolved Crimes bietet nicht viel mehr als vergleichbare Krimi-Adventures, da es sich ganz auf die Ermittlung konzentriert. Ihr durchsucht die überschaubaren Areale nach Hinweisen, macht euch Notizen mit dem Pen und steckt die Nase anschließend in die Akten. Dann werdet ihr ab und zu etwas gefragt und wenn ihr die Antwort parat habt, geht’s weiter. Mal abgesehen davon, dass das vermutlich den drögen Polizeialltag darstellt, ist es zum Spielen nicht sehr spannend. Ganz selten müsst ihr mal etwas Außergewöhnliches unter Zeitdruck tun, durch ein Labyrinth hasten oder Auto fahren. Alles andere haben sich die Macher gespart: Gescheite Story, schöner Spannungsbogen oder Charaktere, die mehr sind als bloße Abziehbildchen. Wozu das alles, wenn es die vermeintliche Zielgruppe nicht braucht? Aber Retroatmosphäre wollen die Leute bestimmt, denn auch deshalb kaufen sie das Spiel. Aber die spezielle Stimmung der 70er-Jahre wird gerade mal angedeutet. Da hätte man mehr machen können, denn Themen gäbe es genug: Studentenproteste, Rassenunruhen oder Vietnamkrieg. Auch vom Tatort New York ist bis auf ein Polizeirevier, ein Hotelzimmer oder einen Park wenig zu sehen. Nicht einmal schockierende Ermittlungsatmosphäre kommt auf. So handelt es sich unterm Strich um ein austauschbares Krimispielchen ohne Eigenheiten – CSI lässt grüßen.

Vigilante 8 è un titolo mediocre che non riesce nell'operazione nostalgia riuscita a ben più illustri colleghi riproposti sul circuito degli Xbox Live Arcade. Una realizzazione tecnica deficitaria anche per un “semplice” titolo scaricabile unita ad un gameplay caotico e a tratti irritante e ad un'idea di fondo che è invecchiata sin troppo facilmente creano un mix sufficientemente valido da far desistere dall'acquisto anche i fan del titolo originale.

There's only so much you can do to dress up five old games, but SNK Playmore has done a fair job in adding extras, making sure the whole package runs well and presenting the content nicely. I'd recommend this compilation to almost any fighting game enthusiast looking for some nostalgia-inducing fun, but the King of Fighters games aren't for everyone. That said, Orochi Saga felt right and I enjoyed revisiting some classic fighters.

Tecmo Bowl Kickoff is essentially targeted at the same gamer group that Capcom aimed for with its download-only Mega Man 9: gamers who can appreciate the old-school look, feel, and play in a fresh gaming experience. If that’s you, great: you’ve got yourself one solid, well-designed retro football experience. It's a great "remember when" piece; the football experience definitely has a hard time holding up to today’s sports experiences, but Tecmo does everything it can to make sure Tecmo Bowl fans have something to cherish in a current generation product on the Nintendo DS.

The control layout, though not perfect, is EA's best effort at adapting the classic RTS to the console yet. The command wheel, mini-map zoom, and ability to manage build queues from anywhere on the battlefield make for relatively smooth setup. Unfortunately, that's not enough to make a fantastic game. Red Alert 3 features nice presentation and a goofy, over-the-top story and unit design, but the campaign has some dull gameplay. The fast pace and required micro-management of individual units also makes Red Alert 3 a tough translation to the console. Though I didn't have much fun with the campaign and found the friends-only co-op play limiting, there is something worth looking at in the versus mode. Only a classic skirmish is available, but thanks to the interesting units and factions, Red Alert 3 can offer up a decent gaming experience.

Call of Duty: World at War isn't a perfect FPS on Wii, and when it all boils down, you can find a better controlling game - one with a slicker framerate, too - in EA's Medal of Honor Heroes 2. What you won't find in Heroes though, or in any other Wii FPS to date, is a package that's this cinematic, this intense, this character-driven, unapologetically brutal, or as varied and intense as World at War. Treyarch has had its hands full in trying to deliver a game that could push out from behind COD4's shadow, and while that main battle is unmistakably happening on 360 and PS3 as a main battlefield, the team still took the time to deliver a seriously impressive first-person shooter on Wii. Multiplayer is a bit thin on modes, but what's there works very well, and is a blast to play. Control isn't dead, as smooth, or as twitch-responsive as we'd like it, but it holds its own, against the bulk of Wii FPS offerings to say the least. The single player campaign is extremely impressive, housing some great missions with lots of variety, the most elaborate challenges and locales we've seen on the system thus far, and some seriously impressive tech, be it in the smoke that dissipates from flamethrower blasts, the slow-falling ash in the forests of Europe, or the filtering like that creeps through the jungle canopy in Japan. The game still houses some pretty basic World War II colors and locales, but among the greens and browns lay some impressive chunks of scenery to check out, and battling across, under, and through them is a blast. It could be quite a while until we see wartime shooter with as much attention to detail, cinematic flair, or open battlegrounds as World at War. Or then again, it might be just around the corner with Infinity Ward's official Call of Duty 5.

Overall, Quantum of Solace on PlayStation 2 is not a title that should be passed on before giving it a try. While other versions are no doubt more visually pleasing, they can’t compare in terms of overall fun factor. The gameplay of QoS is more faithful to the heart of Bond and the stealth that it presents but also offers up plenty of gunplay and explosions to satiate those with a flair for action. There are plenty of issues like the slightly faulty cover system, disappointing AI and lack of multiplayer, but that doesn’t stop this Bond from being the most fun of the current crop.
