    Resident Evil 2
    If you have an N64 and you by some freak of causal virtue haven't been exposed to the grim, visceral cosmology that is Resident Evil, I urge you to check out Resident Evil 2. The N64 port holds up in stellar form, and it's packed with moments both atmospherically spooky and downright drop-the-controller scary.

    The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
    A beautifully designed, quirky game. If you like Zelda, you'll love it. If adventure games and bus rides are your thing, pick it up.

    Homeworld: Cataclysm
    Outstanding visuals, an ominous orchestral score, a well-scripted story with real plot twists, excellent voice acting and a host of brand new ships and weapons, Cataclysm is a sequel to Homeworld as much as "Aliens" was a sequel to "Alien." It’s better, has more action, and plays longer.

    Max Payne
    But in the end, this fantastic engine and solid concept is hobbled by routine shooter gameplay.

    Max Payne
    Its pulp-novel story, gunfights straight out of John Woo's head, the incredibly cool Bullet Time gimmick, graphics that will stun the most jaded gamer.

    Sonic Adventure 2
    It doesn't have the "wow" factor that the first game had and is somewhat forgettable after you have played it through.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Descent 3
    More of the same "get me outta this 'bot-infested labyrinth" madness that made the first two games so deservedly popular. But thanks to the latest tech, the 'bot-infested labyrinths of Descent 3 are more nightmarish and addictive than ever before. Don't even bother trying to resist it.

    Lumines
    Like a song you can't get out of your head. Its simple yet challenging gameplay will call you back again and again.

    • 100 Critic Score
    Silent Hill 2
    Amid its many puzzles, creepy scares and flurries of combat, Silent Hill 2 has moments that are so human and painful--forget about “horror” for the moment--that they elevate the experience from a mere “videogame” to a jarring, unsettling look at pain, loss, despair and dread.

    Grandia
    It is proof that a strong game accompanied by good, but not great visuals, can be a more compelling product than something with lots of flash, but no substance.

    NBA Street
    Though an exceedingly fun and rewarding game, NBA Street isn't very original or particularly noteworthy.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Medieval: Total War
    One of the truly rare games which induces that special kind of gaming exhaustion caused by sleeping two or three pitiful hours at night (while you dream about the game) before getting up to do it all over again.

    R4: Ridge Racer Type 4
    If I hadn’t been recently consumed by GT Interactive’s "Driver," I might say this here R4 is some of the finest racing available for the PSX.

    Excitebike 64
    Added bonuses like the inclusion of the original side-scrolling turbo-cooling itty-bitty-bit masterpiece plus a tremendous hybrid of classic and new with 3D-ified straight and narrow, linear and delineated track design adds great gobs of icing to the cake.

    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.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Crash Team Racing
    Just like the previous Crash games, CTR is utterly polished and addictive to a fault... That's right, you heard me, CTR is a better game than Nintendo's "Mario Kart."

    Superbike 2001
    First-rate graphics, awesome motion captured animation, smooth 3D scrolling, as well as authentic riders, bikes and tracks... It has it where it counts, in the fun category.

    Medal of Honor Frontline
    It will keep you playing, and provide reason to replay. It doesn't however, manage to maintain the brilliance that it hints at in the opening level.

    Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion
    Just when Age of Empires II was starting to seem a little played out, Ensemble Studios has made it a game that might just keep you up late again with The Conquerors expansion.

    Tribes 2
    I'm hooked. It's been a long while since I found myself staying up until 3:00 in the morning for days on end. Come to think of it, the last time I did that was when I used to play "Starsiege: Tribes."

    Diddy Kong Racing
    Diddy Kong Racing is almost too good to be true. It is an exquisitely animated, color-rich racing game that bubbles over with character and charm. A triumph.

    Star Fox 64
    There's no question that Miyamoto has raised the bar on arcade-style 3D space shooters once again.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
    Vegas has drool-inducing visuals, extremely good AI, and controls so intuitive and fitting that you’ll think the gang from Ubisoft Montreal came over to take your measurements before they sent you the game.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    StarCraft
    Another glowing aspect of StarCraft is its absolutely brilliant Campaign Editor. This is the very best make-your-own game interface ever made.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis
    Successful because it is simple. The game breaks down into a simple pattern that is perfect for the stop-and-start style of game play that is experienced when playing a handheld game.

    Ratchet & Clank
    The graphics, the busy environments, the interactivity... every element taken by itself it pretty praiseworthy, stick 'em all on the same disk and they add up to good things.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Red Faction
    Due to a sometimes plodding pace, occasionally repetitious environments and one cliché too many, it's no "Half Life." But in a way that's good.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Wario Land 4
    At the conclusion of some of the levels there are awesome mini-games...Homerun in Wario is awesome--it tests your baseball skills as much as your platform gaming skills!
    • 88 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Return to Castle Wolfenstein
    A pleasing solo affair mixed with remarkable multiplayer support once again more than cements id Software's status as the premiere name in first-person shooters.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
    Don't be fooled by its size. LCS delivers the full GTA experience in the palm of your hand. Definitely worth the time and money if you own a PSP.
