    Tropico
    Even hardcore sim-nuts won't have any quality issues with Tropico; it's the less-experienced who will find themselves initially bewildered, even with the talky tutorial--there's just a lot of detail here, and Tropico seems to take for granted that players know the city-sim drill.

    Dark Cloud
    Those who want more than a clone will be disappointed, those just looking for a good game will be pleasantly rewarded.

    Day of Defeat: Source
    A great game if you are a fan of the WW2 genre and a previous fan of the DOD series, but if not, you might find greater value in another WW2 title.

    Super Swing Golf
    Super Swing Golf's controls work very well under the Wii set-up, and it's a good choice for new and veteran duffers.

    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
    It captures the environments of Hogwarts well and I had a blast knocking Draco Malfoy on his butt in the duel in Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

    Splashdown
    With the increased resolution of the Xbox, the visuals in the game are now simply breathtaking.
    • 55 Metascore

    Driven
    Not for the challenge-impaired or easily frustrated, Driven will definitely teach you more respect for what it takes to be a real race driver.
    • 74 Metascore

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
    Combines spine-tingling combat, sweet character development and solid story with one hell of an editor.

    Final Fantasy Chronicles
    Quite worthwhile in the absence of anything new from Squaresoft.

    Wetrix
    Puzzle games generally come in two flavors, crappy Tetris rip-offs and intelligent Tetris rip-offs. I'm happy to report that other than the fact that Wetrix has shapes that fall from the sky, the gameplay is completely and refreshingly original.

    Shenmue II
    A good game, but not one that is going to have a lot of replay value. Once you have gone through it, the only real reasons to dig the discs out again are the arcade classics included within.

    Sanity: Aiken's Artifact
    Despite the annoying camera work, Sanity Aiken’s Artifact manages to remain a fun game that will leave you excited at the prospect of finding your next Psionic talent and using it on some well-deserving criminals or on your online friends.

    Serious Sam
    The graphics are very high end, with insanely good lighting effects, detailed textures, huge monsters, trees that shred when blasted with gunfire, gorgeous reflective surfaces.

    NHL 2K2
    In the good, but not great category, NHL 2K2's artificial intelligence provides moments of excellence, tempered with moments of sheer stupidity.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Lemmings
    Lemmings PSP by no means does anything revolutionary to the series, but it's as solid a game as it ever was.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Age of Wonders II: The Wizard's Throne
    It is the perfect, ready for anything, prepared like a boy scout, jack of all trades, but master of none video game.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    WipeOut 64
    Doesn't really add a whole bunch of new twists to the WipeOut-elegance we've known and loved since 1995 but you can't deny that the game is an extremely fast-paced, action-stuffed, super slick interpretation of the experience we found on the seminal PlayStation discs.

    NHL 2K3
    It actually hits a pretty good balance, being much more realistic, and yet still easy to control, like an arcade style game.

    Justice League Heroes
    While not perfect, Justice League Heroes is easily the best game to come out featuring DC heroes in a very long time.

    Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
    Yet another odd and unique one from Nintendo. Not for everyone, but it does your brain some good.
    • 75 Metascore

    Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
    Better tomb raiding fare than Lara Croft's adventures, and console-wise, it's only available for Nintendo 64 --tell your Sony loving friends to sit that in their CD tray and rotate.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Crimson Skies
    Another testament to the release-first, patch-later mentality of the PC games industry, Crimson Skies could have been a near perfect title if a little more time had been spent on quality assurance.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Batman: Vengeance
    Playing the console version of Batman Vengeance, you get the impression that the designers made an effort to make a game that was both a good action game, and made sense in the context of the Batman universe.

    Dead to Rights
    I think DTR should also get some credit for its control scheme, which is very intuitive.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Parasite Eve
    Parasite Eve straddles a number of divides. It is and it is not a cinematic experience. It is and it is not anime. It is and it is not set in a fantastical world. The developers seemed to want to break out of the genre but to lack the courage to really take the last step.

    Dracula: The Resurrection
    As soon as I finished this game (yes, at four in the morning), I pulled my paperback copy of "Dracula" by ol’ Bram Stoker off the shelf and started reading. Anything that makes me want to read up on stuff has got to have something right about it.

    Polarium
    Like all good puzzlers, Polarium is exceptionally easy to learn, and it makes it very hard for you to turn your DS off and get your work done.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Triple Play Baseball
    The perfect game for the casual baseball fan. The controls are easy to learn, hitting is a breeze, and even at the hardest levels, the AI isn’t that hard.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hunter: The Reckoning
    Not since the original "Gauntlet" has mindless mayhem with friends been such a source of joy.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Serious Sam: The First Encounter
    It's a fun game for those looking for a 3D shooter gone back to the basics, offering not only a fantastic array of weapons, but incredible graphics, stunning levels and hours of non-stop bullet-spraying frenzy.
