    Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2
    It does a lot of things right, good graphics, multiple play modes, originality and solid on-court action. The pro tour mode is fantastic despite its frustrations. It is refreshing to see some originality in a tennis title.

    Mighty Beanz: Pocket Puzzles
    This game is a headache wrapped up in frustration and poor design. Mighty Beanz Pocket Puzzles simply does not work as well as it probably looked on the drawing board, and players are advised to stay away.

    The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
    It is most definitely not to be missed, but do yourself a favor and bring a friend, or two or three. Doing so upgrades the experience from the sublime to the superlative.

    Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy
    The Frankenstein's monster of a game I played does little more than scratch the underside of mediocrity. Buy this for an irritating nephew, but keep yourself and those for whom you care for deeply away from this game.

    Duel Masters: Sempai Legends
    Sempai Legends is likely to be the first of many games in this franchise, and in that context it is an excellent start. All the important aspects of the original game are here, and work well.

    Full Spectrum Warrior
    Full Spectrum’s audio has a really gritty simplicity to it that really gets one into the mood Pandemic seemed to have been trying to convey.

    The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay
    An astounding game. It appears to be ahead of its time visually, and it couples this accomplishment with game mechanics so solid and well conceived that future titles will have a lot of work to do if they wish to compete.

    Metal Slug 3
    The game is non-stop action, with smooth, screen filling sprites, lots of color, expressive and often very funny animation and lots of challenge.

    Thief: Deadly Shadows
    This is not going to leave players breathless or have critics singing praises of innovation, but Thief: Deadly Shadows does the franchise proud by delivering a solid, worthwhile, and memorable game experience.

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Though the game is quite repetitive at times and the story is nearly nonexistent, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is still a refreshingly fun game for both children and adults.

    River City Ransom EX
    Lastly, and most disappointing, there is no co-op mode. There is a link mode, which allows you to trade character data and techniques, but there is no two-player mode to speak of at all. This is very disheartening.

    Thief: Deadly Shadows
    While both versions are comparable in most respects, the slow down and horrendous load times between areas that are apparent in the Xbox version are what sets the PC incarnation a notch above its console brother.

    Mario vs. Donkey Kong
    Nintendo comes through with a stunning combination of genres to deliver an Action/Puzzle game that has just enough extras and attention to detail to make it worth the slightly higher launch price of $34.99.

    Transformers
    It’s fast, attractive and fun, and only a few shortcomings mar its presentation. The poor integration of the vehicular aspect of the license is the biggest disappointment, but sluggish controls and a weak story are also valid, if minor, gripes.

    True Crime: Streets of LA
    The game looks terrible, I'll just come right out and say it up front.

    Custom Robo
    Unfortunately, while all of this was very exciting 5 years ago, it just hasn't evolved since then.

    Samurai Warriors
    Game play stutters and disappearing goons are more common than they should be in this title, and it might be time for Koei to plan the next title in this series to be for a next-gen system.

    La Pucelle: Tactics
    Everything about this game has it positioned to be an instant hit among fans of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, as well as tactical RPG enthusiasts in general. Deep game play, an endearing story, likeable characters, and stunning hand-drawn backgrounds round out this experience.

    UEFA Euro 2004: Portugal
    This one’s for the hardcore only. Those who already own FIFA 2004 and are happy with it, or are only casual soccer fans, shouldn’t waste their time because you’ll notice little different between the two titles.

    Red Dead Revolver
    The problematic A.I. in Red Dead Revolver is the game’s biggest disadvantage.

    Shrek 2
    The most redeeming factor of the Shrek 2 game is the story and dialogue. The entire Shrek empire rests strongly on the shoulders of the Dreamwork’s writing staff and this game benefits greatly from their abilities.

    Beyond Divinity
    It has a few minor flaws, but the overwhelming amount of fun this game offers more than makes up for it.

    City of Heroes
    Causal gamers can log in for an hour or two occasionally, complete a few missions, and have a feeling of accomplishment, while hardcore gamers can mow through levels through ‘street cleaning’, missions and task forces.

    Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots
    The new units are awesome...At a retail of $30 USD, Thrones and Patriots is a sweet deal for anybody that even remotely enjoyed the original game.

    Onimusha 3: Demon Siege
    Besides the multiple endings that can be reached, defeating the game on a number of different difficulties will yield extras, some of them being playable ones (such as the Adventures of Heihachi) to alternate costumes (yes, Samanosuke’s killer panda suit is back).

    Hitman: Contracts
    Yes it’s short. Yes it sticks to the series’ formula. And yes it is essentially a one-trick pony. But like a good popcorn action flick, Hitman Contracts hits you in all the right ways and proves to be truly captivating while it lasts.

    Painkiller (2004)
    The atmosphere, over-the-top-physics, vast seas of enemies and bosses that reign as some of the most impressive in any video game to date all equate to title that is worth your time. It is unfortunate that with a little more focused effort on fleshing out the multiplayer game, Painkiller could have gone from a very good game to an instant classic.
