Final Fantasy XI far outstrips "Everquest's" addictiveness in the multiplayer online role-playing realm.

No excuses, you’re gonna have to buy this. Unless you don’t own a PS2, in which case, get out of our Internet!

Vast new levels, a pleasantly murky story line and an even greater emphasis on stealth will string you along for days.

Odds are this game will complete you. Spending hour after hour earning points to gain new abilities becomes a kind of subhuman mania.

You should buy it even if driving games rank somewhere between stepping on Legos barefoot and Saddam on your list of dislikes.

Seriously, we did more cool things in God Of War in the first 20 minutes that we do in the entirety of most games.

The bone-rattling density of Black's combat makes the nine levels feel like tours of duty with the grizzliest mercenary squads the world has ever seen.

The biggest advancement is the VIP system, which studies your habits on the field and develops a profile based on how you play the game.

You're looking at a solid 30 hours' worth of game play, more if you actually master the special VFX powers Viewtiful uses to control the flow of time.

How do you improve on perfection? We’ll tell you how: Take the same genius game that you played last fall on the PS2 and give everything a fresh coat of pixel paint... Then, remove the long load times, allow us to save 30-second replays to the hard drive for those you-won’t-believe-this-booshiz moments and create personalized radio stations by ripping your CD collection to the hard drive.
