    Half-Life
    Still one of the great ones all these years later, even with dated graphics, poor voice acting, and the inherent limitations of a gamepad.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Commandos 2: Men of Courage
    It was a long wait for the sequel, but Pyro spent the time innovating a game that was already innovative to begin with. You're gonna love this one.

    Sonic Advance
    Fun is the operative word here and this game delivers the brand of entertainment that gamers have come to expect from Sega and the Game Boy Advance.

    Fallout 2
    Right from the opening strains of the song played in the opening movie, it's evident that Fallout 2 is going to be awesome. And it is. It perfectly recaptures what made the first so great.

    Ground Control
    One of the best looking, and surely the smoothest-playing 3D RTS (actually, RTT) games currently available for the PC.

    Onimusha: Warlords
    Whether you’re old-school or newbie-fresh, there’s no getting away from the perennial curse of survival horror games: Cheesy Voice Acting.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Steel Beasts
    Yes, there's a fairly steep learning curve, and yes, accelerated simulations such as "M1 Tank Platoon II" might look a smidgen better, but those are minor quibbles. If you like tank simulations, or have ever thought you might like tank simulations, this is the game for you.

    Dungeon Siege
    Dungeon Siege is simple, and it is this simplicity that makes it an amazingly fun fantasy action RPG.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
    A sequel that doesn't disappoint. KOTOR 2 is both a great Xbox RPG and a great Star Wars game.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
    A solid follow-up to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA), this game sticks to its predecessor's proven game play, adding updated graphics, a new story and a couple of extra Mario Bros., making for one of the most enjoyable DS titles to date.

    Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force
    Couple this awesome visual presentation with a solid game engine and then couple that with a painstakingly faithful Voyager plot and you’ve simply got one of the best Star Trek action/adventure games you’re ever going to come across.

    Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
    The worlds and characters the designers have created here will charm your boots off.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark
    RoK has given gamers the opportunity to take the road less traveled and, if gamers will only grasp onto these new possibilities, this will make all the difference.
    • 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.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Katamari Damacy
    A unique game with a perfect blend of great visuals and a totally engaging gameplay style.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge
    The game adds enough new missions, locations, structures, weapons and units to justify the purchase and will likely keep you clicking away feverishly until the wee hours of the morn.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Escape from Monkey Island
    Some of the puzzles were just a little too peculiar and, if you even manage to figure them out, may leave you thinking “How was I supposed to figure THAT out?”
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
    Speed vs. control is what F-Zero is all about. It's not an easy ride, but it's a fun one.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
    The Nintendo 64 has been slain by the power of the mighty Turok 2. As enjoyable as the game is, it is impossible to overlook the fact that the Nintendo 64's cartridge and memory limitations have been bested by this sensationally designed adventure.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Allegiance
    More of a strategy-focused game than a real dog-fighter, Allegiance is as simple or as complex as you want to get. Just don’t expect to save the universe from the cockpit of your starship.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Aggressive Inline
    Grinding through the seven gigantic levels at snappy speeds, you'll quickly--and happily--realize the controls are tighter than Ebenezer Scrooge's rectum.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
    The intensity of the experience and the thrill of planning and executing a smooth tactical assault are well worth the price of admission.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    City of Heroes
    City Of Heroes is a breath of fresh air, and a hell of a lot of fun to play. By building on this initial framework, COH has the potential to grow by leaps and bounds.

    EverQuest
    The game world is huge and the developers have done a wonderful job of making each area in the game very unique. I am constantly looking forward to visiting a new zone and discovering new adventures.

    • 85 Critic Score
    F-Zero X
    Just like all of the best Nintendo games, the more you play F-Zero X, the more you'll appreciate its subtleties. It may not impress you at first glance but I can assure you, this cart is packed with gold.

    Tekken Tag Tournament
    Currently the high water mark for the PS2.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wizardry 8
    If you were one of the ones that sobbed every time "Return to Krondor" was delayed, you'll go through Wizardry like an adult going through their childhood home. In some ways, it's a piece of living history.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Rumble Racing
    Rumble Racing really is all about pin-your-noggin-to-the-headrest-and-flatten-your-cheeks speed.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis
    It’s a rare game that gives you the feeling of being a small cog in a giant war machine. An important cog, for sure, but the world doesn’t end just because you’re not in it anymore. Somehow, that says a lot about how realistic and immersive this game is.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
