    Okage: Shadow King
    Now, once you get into the traditional elements of the RPG such as battle, the comedy continues. While the zany names get old, as well as the dialogue, the game is pretty funny overall.

    ESPN Final Round Golf 2002
    May be one of the easiest golf games I've ever played.

    Ferrari F355 Challenge
    I like the idea of a simulation driving game but I just don’t think it’s feasible. Confining it to one car hurts the game’s replay value.

    Shark Tale
    The game works in its purpose of being a great kid’s game based on a strong license. It’s basic, it’s not too hard, but it is all done very well and it’s not a bad game in the slightest.

    Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller
    Making it more difficult is the fact that it felt to me like the Xbox timing was just different enough from the Dreamcast's to make it annoying.

    Castlevania Chronicles
    It's only too bad that a few extras couldn't be included. I would have loved to have a couple of the NES sequels on the disc. Also, all the technical aspects (graphics, sound) are dated (as they should be).

    Silent Scope Complete
    Like most other light gun games that are released on console systems, it is hard to justify a purchase for a game that doesn’t have a lot of depth to it.

    Rise to Honor
    The reason to play isn’t the gameplay, rather the story and the cinematics.

    Madden NFL 2005
    It doesn’t excel, but it’s the best portable football game you’ll find on the market, even with its only average graphics and sound, and generations old gameplay.

    Medal of Honor: Rising Sun
    Quite simply, the game offers nothing that you can’t get in the other games, and can’t have a better time getting in the other games.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004
    This is a straight up card playing/building game.

    Devil May Cry 2
    The problem is that the game was taken from its original close quarters setting and brought to a more open setting. Something about it just doesn’t feel right.

    WWF Raw
    Changing the gameplay system is a step in the wrong direction though, and really takes away from what could have been the best wrestling game yet.

    Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO
    While outdated, it’s still the best (only?) 2D fighter for the GameCube, and worth a rental.

    Medal of Honor Rising Sun

    Kung Fu Chaos
    While Kung Fu Chaos is marketed as a party game intended for four players, I keep finding the single-player mode more riveting and fun.

    Star Fox: Assault
    The space missions are an absolute blast, and it seems like the tank missions just screw us out of more flight in the name of diversity.

    MotoGP
    Probably the best racing game on the Game Boy Advance. It has great graphics, good control, and is a lot of fun to play. The password system is the only real problem I’ve found.

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
    A Dragonball fan’s dream. It is the first "true" American game based on the series, and Infogrames really came through on this one.

    Freestyle Metal X
    The moves and modifers require a lot more memorization and button tapping. It's frustrating and there is quite the learning curve on the controls, so you can't just jump in.

    The X-Files: Resist or Serve
    While marred by a few technical problems, you won’t find a much better game that captures the spirit of a television show (and at a price point that most can’t beat).

    PaRappa the Rapper 2
    The game needs more polish and some more ingenuity with the songs, but this will keep you satisfied until the third installment releases.

    The Urbz: Sims in the City
    For a handheld like the DS this is the perfect little obsessive compulsive game to keep you occupied for five minutes while you wait for a table, or as a game your girlfriend can swipe from you and figure out that touching is good.

    Auto Modellista
    The biggest problem I found was control. Nag all you want about the AI, its not that big a deal. But I hardly ever felt like I was in true control of the car that I was driving.

    Classic NES Series: Excitebike
    If you haven’t played this game, you need to. The game featured big tracks, jumps, engine heat, and a track editor. The only downfall was you couldn’t save tracks – the GBA fixes this.

    Grabbed by the Ghoulies
    While a pretty easy game even with shocks and grim reaper, is a pretty fun ride.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Classic NES Series: Ice Climber
    While it’s fairly typical at first, when you realize that you have to drop bombs at ground targets, the gameplay picks up quickly. While there is no true ending to the game, Xevious is a ton of fun and if you’re looking for a GBA shooter.
