    The Ward
    Full of promise, with a textured plot premise and unorthodox, and at times, stunning visuals. But the sub-par execution of the confusing backstory and lethargic gameplay, confounded by the limited viewing perspective, sinks this release right from the outset.

    Against Rome
    There are some good ideas, like the grouping banner and the ability to plunder, that should’ve come off a lot better, but instead thwarted the gameplay.

    Strider 2
    Only dedicated fans of side scrollers should tackle this title, as even those enamored with the titular character will be disappointed by the lack of new developments for the Strider franchise, especially after such an extended wait.

    Metal Dungeon
    The combat is engaging, but it grows repetitive and is extremely time consuming.
    • 68 Metascore

    Shadow Man: 2econd Coming
    Starts off slow, gets really good, and then quickly descends into repetitive drudgery.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Saga of Ryzom
    There is just so much promise that it's almost unbearably painful to see that potential crippled by a complete and utter lack of content.

    Humvee Assault
    The graphics are pretty and you get what you came for - cheap, mindless action. If you want even a smidgen more, however, pass.

    Monster Jam Maximum Destruction
    Unfortunately, for all its intensity, the experience will be very brief indeed as the lack of a multiplayer mode virtually cripples this content-light cartridge.

    Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza
    A straight vanilla shooter. It does many things well, many things not so well, but nothing exceptionally.
    • 58 Metascore

    X2: Wolverine's Revenge
    Below average in every sense of the term; the title contains some interesting gameplay mechanics and concepts, but never executes them with any measure of success.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Remote Assault
    As a finished title, it falls short. Basic graphics, a limited storyline, and non-existent sound and music make it seem as though the game is still in production.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Breed
    Solid graphics and music, decent level design and clever use of vehicles. The Achilles' heel is clearly the squad mate artificial intelligence, which virtually ruins the whole play experience.
    • 72 Metascore

    Impossible Creatures
    Great production values aren’t enough to raise Impossible Creatures from being a mediocre exercise in button pushing, as it’s high on glitz but short on actual strategy.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Supercar Street Challenge
    Despite the presence of distinctive licensed racing classics, the actual driving experience is both bland and homogeneous.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Driven
    Driven's acceleration feels sluggish as it tries to drag the combined weight of unresponsive AI, strange physics, overly unforgiving challenges and pedestrian multiplayer modes.
    • 69 Metascore

    Leadfoot
    This is as close to a bare-bones racing simulation release as I have seen these days, with minimal choices of vehicles and tracks, limited menu selections, dated graphics, sparse sound effects, and no music.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Besieger
    Primal tries to interest gamers with its Viking and fortress theme, but without smooth camera controls and decent pathfinding, the effort feels a bit wasted.

    Ford Racing
    Unless Ford is your favorite car, I would not step behind the wheel of this lemon.
    • 61 Metascore

    Road to India: Between Hell and Nirvana
    While a part of the gameplay is absorbing, and the graphics and puzzles are noteworthy, there is no lasting impression communicated, so you never really care much about the outcome.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Carmageddon 3: TDR 2000
    The Carmageddon series has clearly run out of steam. Providing the same old cheap gore and guts does not have the same impact in 2000 as it did in 1997.
    • 71 Metascore

    Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided
    Yet the experience, for all its addictive qualities, still feels lacking due to its slow pace and the absence of vehicles and space travel.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Postal
    A middle-of-the-road little action shooter -- nothing more, nothing less. It has enough charm to make it kind of fun, and enough senseless violence to leave an impression, but that's about it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Emperor: Battle for Dune
    This is not a bad game, but Westwood's real-time strategy titles are beginning to suffer the curse of Lara Croft -- they're getting old. There's nothing new here except for the gorgeous visuals.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dracula: The Resurrection
    With nothing really novel to offer, and a short gameplay experience with few characters, locales, or tantalizing puzzles, this adventure-puzzle game is best suited for novice adventurers.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Anachronox
    A triumph of mediocrity.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Bang! Gunship Elite
    "Bang! Gunship Elite" proves yet again that eye candy alone cannot sustain a title, as the vast majority of its gameplay proves to be extremely tedious.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Jazz and Faust
    Its beautifully rendered backgrounds and intriguing premise aren't enough to cover the fact that the program resembles an early 1990s point-and-click scavenger hunt, released ten years too late.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Voodoo Vince
    All this title truly needs is the influence of a few sadistic minds to extend the lifespan with complicated tasks, and give you a sense of satisfaction for making it through hellish platform puzzles.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Covert Ops Essentials
    For those who want to learn more about counter-terrorist practices, Covert Ops is a valuable resource.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
    Most importantly, the omission of a multiplayer option, present in the console version, is particularly disappointing.
