    Ninja Gaiden
    The extreme difficulty level will turn off most casual gamers and the camera system needs a little tweaking, but the environments are huge and varied and the combat system keeps things fresh. Ryu is one of the most impressive, easy to control and well designed characters to ever grace a videogame.

    Rise to Honor
    You haters can go cuddle with your worn-out videotapes and skippy DVDs in the corner. You’re missing out on the best 3D game featuring a martial arts star to date.

    Nightshade
    Not only will you curse, but as the game progresses, you’ll get exceedingly violent towards your controller. Bosses are especially tough, often requiring the player to dash in for a quick hit, then dash out for an even quicker retreat.

    Pokemon Colosseum
    The Shadow Pokemon system is one of the game’s biggest detractors, but even so, those who are acquainted with the series may want to give this one a shot.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Metroid: Zero Mission
    The new areas are some of the most challenging in the Metroid series, and although it does get easy the more you practice, it will take some time getting use to.

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
    The game's single player mode is void of any real entertainment values.

    Sonic Heroes
    This game feels like nothing short of a chore to play.

    Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II
    Personally, I can't wait to see what comes next for the franchise, and who gets the task of expanding the game's particularly engrossing worlds.

    Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
    This is one of those games where you really want to see a sequel come out with a lot more depth and perhaps a different gameplay viewpoint.

    NFL Street
    The game is easy to pick up and great for 2-on-2 action, making it one of the best party titles out there.

    NFL Street
    Street has surprising depth for an arcade football title, I enjoyed it more than I have any of the "Blitz" games, but it is a multiplayer title at heart and still comes up a little short in the single player experience.

    Arx Fatalis
    As you're playing through the game, you'll clearly see that the developers have created one of those memorable virtual worlds where you can spend many hours exploring each and every crevice as you try to solve all the riddles Arx has to offer.

    Deus Ex: Invisible War
    Action wise it gets a bit repetitive, so if you’re only in it for the body count, this is a rental. If you like your video games like you like your novels, however, then this is a must buy.

    Mario Party 5
    I am convinced that eventually, somewhere in the world, Mario Party 5 will provide proof that a person can die from boredom while playing a video game. The single player mode has essentially no value.

    SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs
    With up to 16 player games on 22 playable maps in 5 different mission types, SOCOM 2 puts even the heftiest of other multi-players to shame.

    EyeToy: Play
    The perfect gift for the gamer that has everything except say, a spouse or relative who doesn’t quite understand the lure of gaming, or a parent looking to interact a bit more with their kids.

    Drake of the 99 Dragons
    Controls are ridiculously touchy and unrefined.
    • 88 Metascore

    The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition
    There's so much depth to be found here that to pass it up because it's not pushing the latest graphics technology would be foolish. Technical issues aside, you'll not find a more impressive game world on a home console offline RPG, period.

    Otogi: Myth of Demons
    There's a ton of imagination and visual power on display in Otogi, and From Software has created yet another amazing game, one of the best Xbox games of 2003.
    • 58 Metascore

    City Racer
    This shoulda been fine-tuned more before being shipped, and that’s the bottom line.

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
    The visuals in this game are simply stunning, and anyone who ever complained about Nintendo's taking this direction with the title likely shut their mouth promptly upon seeing them it in motion.

    Colin McRae Rally 3
    As good as the game is, hopefully the company will add even more features and bring back the ability to drive as yourself in the next installment. Absolutely recommended.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
    There are too few save spots and even those are in inopportune locations.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    Metroid Prime
    One of the best all-around games ever made.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The Simpsons Road Rage
    In the very least it will provide a good laugh and a desire to watch some re-runs.

    Motocross Mania 3
    Wiping your memory clean of Motocross Mania 3 is one of the best things you could do, as it is a perfect example of how to not make a game correctly.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action!
    It's not flawless entertainment and the save system gets a raspberry, but overall, it'll keep you or the young ones entertained with its colorful visuals, bouncy gameplay and light on exposition storyline.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Zooo
    There's a brilliant simplicity wrapped around the addictive gameplay that makes Zooo a great puzzle game in most respects.
