    Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
    A decent adventure title with a great story but stretches itself too thin.

    Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis
    With a very limited amount of amenities and dinosaurs represented, Jurassic Park falters a little in the replayability category.

    Gadget Racers

    Double Dragon Advance
    With new stages, enemies and some interesting modes of gameplay, it is definitely a title that fans of the series will want to pick up. Sadly, the game length is really, really short.

    Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
    This could be due to the age of the game, the fact that we've played it before or because the screen is so tiny, but the game isn't nearly as frightening as it used to be.

    Manhunt
    I don't doubt that the violence used in this game is used at least particularly for shock value – but what happens when batting someone’s head off becomes boring? Will Manhunt 2 feature the ability to rape a victim – will some other game in the immediate future? It’s a fair question.

    The Sims 2: Castaway
    In the end, Sims 2: Castaway is one of the more entertaining Sim titles to come out in a while and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a shot. It's certainly not a stereotypical Sim title and almost anyone can pick this game up and give it a whirl.

    Bomberman Jetters
    The control in the multiplayer mode is a bit better than in "Generations," which is a good thing, as "Generations" had some rather stiff control issues.

    Mirror's Edge
    If there is one thing in Mirror's Edge that does feel a bit out of place, it is the lack of story elements.

    Every Extend Extra
    It's not often you'll find a puzzle game that manages to be so eclectic and functional, but Every Extend Extra pulls off every facet without a hitch. The game may only feature nine stages, but it's so much fun that you'll more than likely play it over and over again. The controls are fantastic and the audio / visual presentation is over the top.

    Ridge Racer 7
    All the elements of some quality multiplayer are there to be had, but without a useful means of communication, it can be a crapshoot at times.

    Condemned 2: Bloodshot
    Condemned's instruments of brutality may be blunt, but the game itself is not - despite what the inclusion of such frivolities as thugs attired in medieval armour might suggest.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Conan
    At the end of the day, Conan is a fantastically fun game, that doesn't take itself too serious and knows what kind of creature it is -- something that a good deal of games nowadays could benefit from.

    Lost Magic
    Taito, the company ultimately responsible for the game, didn't steal from us, the spell system is engaging, the battles are amusing and the Wi-Fi battles are enthralling, making for one truly unique game experience. It's too bad that the graphics and sound are something out of a Game Boy game.

    Hitman: Blood Money
    This is game definitely encourages patience, exploring, and a bit of non-linear thinking while often punishing the FPS run-and-gun folks. This means there's plenty of replayability there for you. Overall, you should find Blood Money to be a pretty satisfying experience.

    Mario Superstar Baseball
    A must have if you already own all previous installments of the franchise. Not quite an inside the park home run, but it will have you swinging for the fences every time you take the field.

    Pokemon Trozei!
    The pacing can become frenzied, as with any puzzle game, but once you've created that zen puzzle experience, you'll more than likely be able to really breeze through the game.

    Konductra
    While I won't say that Konductra is destined to be a classic, it is still one of the most enjoyable puzzle games I've played to date. The principle is simplistic, but the overall mechanics are difficult to master and that is, to me at least, key.

    SoulCalibur IV
    Ultimately SC IV is a great fighting game, it won't revolutionize the genre nor is it the best fighter currently on the 360, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.

    Unreal II: The Awakening
    There are problems with speed and control, as well as graphic issues that I simply can’t explain, but I think the overall product is very well presented.

    Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
    While it does tend to be a bit on the easy side and can be beaten in less than 12 hours, the game is still a lot of fun and getting through it is entertaining, as well as humorous.

    Lumines Live!
    An incarnation of one of the greatest modern puzzle games, Lumines Live offers everything the original had and more, including new modes, new skins and, most importantly, the same great gameplay — that is to say, if you purchase all the add-ons.

    Battle B-Daman: Fire Spirits!
    While I can't say that Battle B-Daman: Fire Spirits! is much of an improvement over the original, I can say that it remains just as fun as the original and the additional content that has been thrown in has been done so in such a way as to make the game a bit more enjoyable.

    Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure
    This is perhaps the first and only Disney sports title to impress me in the least. As an avid fan of Tony Hawk, I found the game to be incredibly fun and very easy to get into and enjoy.

    Time Crisis 3
    Sadly, the two player mode takes a really hard hit in the end, as the split screen view offers up a very difficult view of the action; but if you have an iLink cable and an extra TV and PS2, the game can be a lot of fun.
    • 71 Metascore

    DreamWorks Over the Hedge
    The game is very competent and offers up a fairly meaty single player experience. Taking cues from Metal Gear Solid and Prince of Persia, Over the Hedge is a well designed adventure that requires patience and planning.

    Mario Kart Wii
    After all the hype surrounding this game (or lack thereof), Mario Kart Wii is the same game we've been playing over and over again for years now, which either has you jumping up and down with glee or shaking your head in disgust.

    Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
    The "True Aiming" system is a wonderful addition and the new putting changes make the game incredibly fun and well worth your time, while the practice range offers up a more flexible environment to build your overall stats.

    FIFA Soccer 06

    Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
    Proves to be a worthy portable sized adventure that differs enough from its 3D big brother to be a totally unique experience and one that is filled with fun from start to finish.

    Metal Slug Anthology
    Some may be concerned about the ability to continue consistently, but SNK has created a system that allows you to choose how often you're allowed to continue, meaning you can blast through the games in one sitting with no fear of death or play like you're on your last quarter.

    Buzz! The Mega Quiz
    Buzz! The Mega Quiz is a great game for anyone looking for a video game trivia fix or just searching for a fun party game. The assortment of questions is quite diverse and while there is some repetition early on, the game maintains freshness for quite some time.

    Tomb Raider: Legend
    It's certainly not a perfect game nor does it completely break new ground in the series, but it's nice not to smell the stench of failure as soon as you open the box. For Lara fans, Tomb Raider: Legend is a step in the right direction.

    Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Game

    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
    The controls are a bit unusual and take a bit of getting used to, the storyline is a bit on the dull side and the graphics are really, really dated and should be reconsidered at this point. However, the gameplay is still rock solid.

    The technology isn’t quite up to snuff, leaving you to issue commands that make the experience far less personal in nature, and there are times where you will simply be frustrated due to the fact that you simply can’t communicate your needs, but the product really manages to be a pleasant experience overall.

    Brute Force
    Though the story is a bit lacking in the plot department and the tactical aspect of the game is almost forced, the game itself is still a finely polished single player experience.

    Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia
    A unique role playing experience and one that is dripping with sexual innuendo and overtones. However, if you can get over this fact (and I'm sure you can), you're going to find an adventure that is often amazingly fun, but ends up feeling rather dry and contrived at times. The concepts within are fantastic, but the combat, which makes up the majority of the game, is beyond tedious and that hurts the title quite a bit.
