The game really has the Trek flavour pegged...Bridge Commander's sore spot is that mission structure is not nearly as open-ended as it could be.

While not the best first person shooter on the Xbox, Nightfire does an admirable job of capturing the essence of a Bond film and should please the majority of 007 fans.

At times engaging and at others frustrating, but still sporting a striking visual design, Fuzion Frenzy is worth a rental for your next party or to check out for an eventual buy.

Like its predecessor, Thief II is subtle, deep and refined, words associated with the action game genre about as often as they are with fraternity hazing rituals.

Dripping with looks.

The new Skill Stick system is the reason to play the game.

The pace seems faster than last year's version, which is definitely a good thing. Playing multiplayer is a lot more fun because of it.

Rumble Racing really is all about pin-your-noggin-to-the-headrest-and-flatten-your-cheeks speed.

Provides a lot of gameplay, and while it can be a bit on the redundant side – which is a problem with the genre as much as this particular title – it does offer a diverse number of environments and themes.

The biggest plus of World Series 2K2 has to be the online game mode.

Lends itself much better to multiplayer adventuring as there is no central character and, more importantly, the dialogue trees are kept to a minimum while the exploration and adventure are maxxed out.

Aside from the so-so visuals, High Heat Baseball is the coolest baseball game on the market. If you are looking for life-like action and real baseball strategy, this is the title for you.

Story and characters are excellent. Their personalities and motivations come through easily without a lot of overdone angst.

Good old freedom; it is indeed a gaming virtue, and Morrowind provides an amazingly lush fantasy playground to exercise that liberty in.

A sublime, turn-based, empire-building, strategy game. At the same time, I can't help but feel like I have played it before.

It's graphically superior, and you'll feel like you've lost a few pounds after some of the more rigorous battles.

It operates reliably, frantically, and smoothly enough to offer a kind of arcade zen experience once you've reached a certain level of proficiency. It's definitely a sick game.

It does have some issues, like the damage modeling, that keep it from being the ultimate hardcore simulation, but as a challenging arcade game this one certainly deserves a test drive.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it quite the revolution it could have been, but it comes close. And in the world of action/stealth/strategy games, the series still has no equal.

For pick-up-and-play fun, NBA Live 2003 simply can not be beat.

Worth getting for the bizarre "commercials" that play when the credits roll, or when you're in the network waiting area looking for opponents.

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.

I would not call Primal an innovative title, but it has lots to do and TONS of different powers, which the game doles out just about when you start wanting something new.

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.

A sequel that doesn't disappoint. KOTOR 2 is both a great Xbox RPG and a great Star Wars game.

One of the best action-movie games on any platform. Some frustrating camera placement and a save-game that takes some getting used to take very little away from the excellent sneak-and-peek gameplay.

Keep the same great game play but throw in more innovation next time please.

While it isn't the lengthiest or most addictive product on the block, this offering still boasts a wealth of replay value.
