    Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand
    A fairly standard action/puzzle game. The environments are very detailed -- albeit with the minor visual hiccups endemic to the isometric perspective. The sunlight adds an unusual strategic challenge, but players must resign themselves to sometimes having to wait for the break of dawn to resume gameplay.

    High Heat Major League Baseball 2004
    These improvements to the graphic engine come at a price. The frame rate slows down whenever multiple players are running the bases, and it experiences noticeable hiccups during the batting sequences.

    MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries
    The engine is a couple years old and not as cool-looking as contemporary games or even "MechAssault" for the Xbox... Also, the audio is unremarkable.

    Maximo vs Army of Zin
    A challenging, yet rewarding experience that encourages players to explore every nook and cranny. New jacks might want to step back, but seasoned pros will find plenty of challenge.

    Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix
    Simply put, there are few launch releases that pack in so much content.

    Odin Sphere
    One issue that only seems to get worse throughout Odin Sphere is the endless amount of inventory management.

    Wipeout Pulse
    The visuals in Wipeout Pulse are a subtle improvement over Pure. Interestingly, the opponent AI appears a lot more aggressive which makes for a much more interesting race.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2
    While Vegas 2 shows definite improvements over it predecessor, one cannot help but feel as though the title could have used another couple of months to get that Caesar Palace showgirl shine instead of coming out like a Caesar Palace cocktail waitress.

    X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
    Players who can't stand "Diablo" won't much like Legends, no matter their mutant fanaticism. But for everyone else, the mutant madness will be addictive and appealing.

    City of Villains
    A competent massively multiplayer online RPG, but not a radical departure from "City of Heroes."

    Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
    On the whole, any Minecraft is better than no Minecraft, and the 360 version is a full, satisfying game, when not judged against the PC version -- even in slightly-gimped form, Minecraft is better than most games on earth.

    NBA Ballers
    NBA Ballers gets better as you master it. Given the sheer amount of unlockable content, the replay value appears substantial.

    Resident Evil: Revelations
    The abysmal controls and resulting frustrations are unforgiveable.

    Gitaroo Man
    While the graphics aren't especially mind-blowing, they complement the game's overall feel and make the unbelievable story that much more appealing.

    Pokemon Ruby Version
    Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are the best-looking games in the series, but they don't hold a candle to technical marvels such as "Golden Sun." The graphics are hardly bad, though. They look clean and colorful.

    Karaoke Revolution Volume 3
    A handful of tracks will have you scratching your head, wondering why they were included, but you’ll forget all about that once you’re centerstage, and the beat drops for Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09
    PGA Tour 09 does not reinvent golf in the same way as "NHL 08" completely reinvigorated EA's hockey series, but it is nonetheless an extremely polished and surprisingly addictive title.

    Act of War: Direct Action
    Its story is well told, its action is well presented, and though it is a very traditional real-time strategy title, it’s a very good one.

    Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
    The combination of stunning graphics and frenzied gameplay make Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner a must-have for anime RPG fans or, heck, anyone with a functioning pair of eyeballs.

    Dangerous Waters
    A good game insomuch as it’s about as realistic as you can get. But that devotion to realism can be an unforgiving master. If you’re new to the genre, stay far away from this game. It’ll only end in tears.

    Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings
    Despite the emphasis on monthly events and a dynamic story, there is no real solution to the twin problems of weak role-playing and the somewhat generic quests... [yet] an enjoyable, addictive game.

    WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth
    Quick, responsive controls do well to round out the positives here, but the time spent refining the countering-a-grapple system make Shut Your Mouth considerably more balanced and playable than some previous installments.

    Super Monkey Ball Jr.
    The graphics in Super Monkey Ball Jr. truly shine. Executed in the same style as its arcade/console counterparts, Jr. plays in full 3D This level of quality should surprise many.

    Unreal Tournament III
    The real meat is online though, and Unreal Tournament 3 doesn't disappoint. Rock solid framerates even during intense, large matches, and stable connections help make the game one of the best online fights out there.

    Neverwinter Nights 2
    This game, unfortunately, tries too hard to play true to its D&D roots to be able to offer much appeal to casual gamers.

    Mega Man Powered Up
    Though the core game is obscenely short by modern standards, Capcom packed this title with a lot of extra content. And unlike so many retro-revamps, everything here is well worth your time.

    Gradius V
    While non-fans probably won’t dig in as much, this is still an exceptional example of the side-scrolling shooter. It looks great, plays better than ever, and the addition of a two-player option gives it significant staying power.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
    Where most super-hero games are satisfied with mediocrity, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance aims high and blasts its target into smithereens. 'Nuff said!

    The Darkness
    I was looking forward to it, but left very disappointed. It’s completely playable. Being about 7 hours long helps but I spent the entire game waiting for it to get good, to make sense, to make a case for all the incongruous elements of design, gameplay and story, and then it ended.

    Lunar Knights
    With more time and a more powerful platform behind it, the DS sequel takes the notion of a weather-dependent adventure and makes a well-rounded game of it. There’s less frustrating randomness, less tedious stealth gameplay. Instead, there’s more fun – more depth, more action, and more cute ideas that actually work.
