    Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
    Feels like "Castlevania Lite". It's got all of the story, the visual style, the whip, the weapons, and the enemies. What’s missing is the rich fulfilling satisfaction of the rest of the game – the RPG elements, the total depth that has been established since the PlayStation and Game Boy versions of the game.

    Final Fantasy Origins
    A no-brainer for anyone that enjoys RPGS.

    Smuggler's Run: Warzones
    It really has the biggest environments of any game that I've ever seen.

    Armed and Dangerous
    An exciting action game that features a plethora of shooting. While it does this aspect well, the main selling point is the fantastic sense of humor.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    A fan's dream come true. The game is true to the series, and will quench any fan's thirst for a video game based on the series. I recommend that most action fans look into BUFFY. Even with some of the annoying faults, the game isn't to be missed.

    Super Dodge Ball Advance
    The gameplay remains true to the original and the two-player mode is a blast. While there are some glitches with the multiplayer and the one-player mode is lackluster, the game still remains an arcade classic.

    Downhill Domination
    You should buy it because of the ridiculous courses, because of the energy level, because it’s a racing game that really does overwhelm you and in a lot of ways challenges you to be smart and play with your head – to a much greater extent than SSX.

    Deathrow
    If you can stomach the language, or have a terrific mute button, Deathrow really is a fun game that can be played alone or with a few friends.

    Contra: Shattered Soldier
    While Contra: Shattered Soldier is a short game, fans of the original will eat it up. It’s also a game for anyone looking for a challenge.

    Rez
    The music falls into the techno category, but it’s very bland until you start destroying enemies.

    The Thing
    One of the best survival horror games on the market, even giving RESIDENT EVIL a run for its money.

    MLB 2005
    The biggest and most important adjustment to the game is on the home run hitting. They are much fewer than in last year’s version and that is a huge plus.

    Gradius Galaxies
    Leaps and bounds more interesting than its "Iridion 3D" neighbor, the new Gradius offers a ridiculously large amount of options and weapons keeping the classic gamers happy with a true sequel, while satisfying newcomers with a title belonging to a genre almost forgotten.

    Donkey Kong Country
    While the gameplay is still fairly solid, it just isn’t quite as fun as it used to be. It didn’t blow me away and make me want to play for hour after hour.

    Crimson Sea
    The game is long enough for RPG buffs to get into, and the game provides enough action for those that aren’t really interested in RPGS.

    Drakan: The Ancients' Gates
    The game is beautiful. Textures all look good and the game uses the right color and landscaping to make it feel perfect.

    Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
    Another Lucasarts game that cashes in on the Star Wars franchise name. Fortunately for us, it’s a good game.

    Red Faction
    With a good plot to keep you involved in the one player action and huge networking capabilities, this is one that will keep you entertained for quite some time. Just blow stuff up. Oh, and blow stuff up. And don’t forget to blow stuff up.

    NFL Street 2
    My favorite mode is still the one where you must pick your team from a random group of players and go at and opponent in the same situation – putting square pegs in round holes has never been as much fun in the NFL.

    Luigi's Mansion
    The mansion is beautiful. From the vacuum cleaner sucking up dust and objects such as tablecloths, to the mirrors and lighting effects, Luigi's Mansion is very impressive.

    Kinetica
    While the core of the game is pretty bland, the trick system is excellent.

    Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games
    From the prospective of an Olympic game to play, this is a great choice for any kid, or even for you if you’re on the road a lot and get in plenty of Game Boy time.

    Taiko Drum Master
    Easily one of the most addictive party games I have ever played.

    The Suffering
    This is a game that needs to be played on Surround Sound (Pro Logic) or with a good set of headphones. It needs to be loud in the room, and it needs to be dark. It should be like any good horror movie.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory
    I guess the biggest problem is that SMUGGLER’S RUN 2 is point-to-point racing.

    True Crime: Streets of LA
    It just seems to be not nearly as epic as "Grand Theft Auto". However playing for the different paths extends the lifetime of the game considerably.

    Brute Force
    Probably one of the best looking games on the Xbox, no questions asked.

    Karaoke Revolution Volume 2
    The biggest addition I could ask for would be some sort of hard drive support for online downloads.
