"NBA 2K3" and even "NBA Live 2003" are better overall choices.

Unless you’re unbelievably set into playing old-school D&D gaming, don’t look at purchasing the Eye of the Beholder.

The gameplay issues really stunt an otherwise solid game. The complaints are really nitpicking, but if I had to pick a golf game to sit down and play, it would still be "Hot Shots Golf 3."

The new setting is far more appealing than the modern Liberty City of the original. And it seems more dynamic and interactive also, since players can explore inside buildings and rob businesses, which could not be done in the original.

It’s good, even fantastic at times, walking the line between reality and fantasy in a pleasant mix that’s really hard to put down once you start playing.

A great, rollicking adventure with some integrated action and worth your time if you’re in the “Adventure Games are Dead and I Miss Them” camp.

Golf videogaming has never been so fun.

Although the characters are an eclectic collection of freaks, strippers and malcontents, looks are deceiving – this is a hardcore golf game.

I’d liken Jet X20 to playing a not as much fun or polished version of "SSX."

Although TCW has its weaknesses, its biggest strength is that it simulates some extremely intense and action-packed Star Wars battles.

Civilians steer clear: this is definitely one for the flyboys.

Iron Storm does look and feel dated because of the graphics, and because of the type of gamplay that is offered. While it does feel like a complete game, and while I did feel satisfied playing it, it left me felling like the storyline should have been done justice.

The best-looking House of the Dead game to date. It’s cartoony, gory, and downright gorgeous. And there’s never a hint of slowdown.

The sound effects are even more disturbing than previous games with crunching bone sounds that will leave most people cringing the first few times.

It’s a good experience even if you have to cope with the camera and constant Xbox Live plugs.

Not only is this the greatest THPS yet, but as always is one of the year’s best games. Period.

More of the same with a few extras throw in. But that’s not a bad thing – not by a long shot.

The shame is that the lousy and simplistic gameplay takes away from the fact that this is actually a nice-looking Xbox title.

It is a bit too short and a lot too linear, but the combination of great graphics, sound, and theme make for a fun experience.

If your house is party central, you can’t go wrong with Mario Party 4. It’s got everything the previous games had (plus more) to keep GROUPS of two or more happily playing.

Like "Max Payne," BR is fun while it lasts and it has enough style to make it worth revisiting.

The seamless and responsive control scheme found in DOA3 just cannot be found in XND.

With good graphics, varied level designs, uniquely bizarre characters, different modes, a lot of pain-inflicting weapons, and decent control to go along with a lag-free and player-taunting laced rock-and-rollicking online play, this game has everything necessary to be a worthy addition to the party videogame scene.

And XND succeeds to large extent, offering a control scheme that makes the fighting easy for beginners to get into the game, while offering enough finesse moves and fast action for fighting veterans.

What accounts for the less-than-perfect score is the extreme amount of tweaking it takes to get everything just the way you like it.

Will satisfy multiplayer junkies’ needs but will leave single player fanatics wanting more.

A must have game for shooter fans! It’s got a large assortment of weapons, tons of action, excellent multiplayer, and lots of replay value.

With the solid on-court graphical presentation, fast-paced gameplay and variety of game modes, many may actually see it on even par with "NBA 2K3."
