If reviewing videogames has taught me one thing, it's that I really shouldn't be impressed by a good idea. All too often games start with a great idea, and then run it into the ground with terrible execution. Bet on Soldier: Blood Money is one such game. It takes the relatively exciting idea of brutal murder being structured as sport and televised as mass media entertainment, and does absolutely nothing interesting with it, just like The Killing Game Show, Flashback, and Headhunter before it.

Game Description: Bet On Soldier: Bloodsport takes you into a militarized world, where humans dedicate most of their time and resources to making war. Eighty years into the future, everyone either fights or works somewhere in the war machinery. Fighting isn't just about staying alive anymore, it's about making money. The federations created Bet On Soldier, a TV show where soldiers fight to entertain the masses and generate profits. The champions of this new bloodsport, "The Boryenkas Brothers", have something to do with your fiancee's death. To confront them and learn the truth, you enter the Bet On Soldier tournaments. Fighting your way to the top won't be easy—you can bet your life on it.

Resident Evil 4 was not really Resident Evil 4 (RE4). Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2 was. Rather than a spin-off like the Gun Survivor titles, Outbreak represented the point where the series split into two separate franchises. Outbreak got the feel of the series, RE4 got to continue the plot. Which one of them really deserved to pick up the mantle and continue the numbering? I feel it's Outbreak.

I have yet to play a videogame that makes me jump the way Ghost Recon does when I hear the "thuck!" of a bullet hitting my on-screen commando, leaving him gasping for air as he shouts to his comrades, "I've taken a hit!" That is, of course, if he's lucky enough to take the hit on his body armor.

Game Description: Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike is a fantastic new peek into the world of the Ghosts, offering new levels and new gameplay for fans of military and shooter action. Travel to Kazakhstan, a Central Asian republic on the brink of chaos. When the Kazakh President is murdered by a Pakistani warlord trying to conquer the country, the Ghosts team up with UN forces and head in for the hunt.

While I appreciate the unorthodox concept of Brad's review, I feel as though it's lacking the detailed assessment Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict deserves. I suppose a casual player may be able to appreciate his circumstances, but a first-person shooter fan deserves more substance.

Game Description: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Melee is a great party game for fans of fighters and the classic characters. It delivers hours of bashing, crashing and trashing fun with more than 20 playable characters. Try the competitive Adventure mode and huge variety of mini games and unlockables. Take on either mode in single player, or play with up to three friends in a four-player free-for-all.
