    ESPN NHL Hockey
    A great choice for gamers who enjoyed "NHL 2K3" but wanted something a little flashier in the audiovisual department. But it isn't as ambitious as "NHL 2004" in terms of control options or depth in franchise play. ESPN Hockey's biggest knock is its goalie AI, which isn't reflective of the sport and seems artificially enhanced in an attempt to create low-scoring games.

    Shrine: Circus Tycoon
    For the budget price, Shrine Circus Tycoon is certainly worth a look, especially if you’re jonesing for a lighthearted management sim. It’s not the greatest show on earth, but it ain’t half bad either.

    True Crime: New York City
    On paper, it's got the potential to be more than a match for "San Andreas"; in practice, it's nowhere near it.

    Enclave
    The lack of multiplayer action combined with the rather unrefined combat, annoying save game functionality (or lack thereof), and frustrating jumping problems all take their toll on the overall play value.

    Black
    An hour a day will probably give any shooter fan a thrill, but prolonged and involved play makes all the small flaws more apparent and all the pyrotechnics more numbing.

    Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
    It's too bad that an underdeveloped social scene and tedious chores that require frustrating precision keep farm life from being more fun.

    Coded Arms
    A good portable game is one that excels in short bursts; boring you in a few minutes isn't the same thing.
    • 70 Metascore

    Trace Memory
    The perfect rental, lasting only a few short hours and, like most adventure games, doesn’t have much value beyond that.
    • 71 Metascore

    Blinx: The Time Sweeper
    With such excellent production values, it's a shame that Blinx is brought down by its difficulty and camera issues.

    Atari: 80 Classic Games in One
    With slightly better play control and improved vector-graphics information, the collection could be a definitive representation of videogames from the late '70s and early '80s, but as it stands, it's a fairly average look at gaming's early days.

    Dance Dance Revolution Extreme
    It has everything the last version had, right down to the training and calorie-counting modes, and, aside from the EyeToy support and new songs, not much else. So, if you aren’t into watching yourself onscreen, the upgrades are minimal.

    Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity
    A good game with a number of good qualities, but its emphasis on some of the less exciting aspects of strategy games and the horrible voice acting hold it back from greatness.

    Wild Arms 3
    The story line is in-depth and the development of the characters is well thought out. But the flaws hold this title back from being a top contender in the RPG genre.

    Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild
    The bonuses left us dissatisfied. Sure, new outfits and craft are cool, but they lose their novelty if they don't help your performance. You can earn enough points to buy a hot new ride, but the upgrade is purely cosmetic.

    Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia
    While not great, Monster Madness is generally fun with its mix of solid monster design and colorful, animated graphics.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    City of Heroes
    The versatile character-creation system will, at the very least, allow you to end up with something reasonably close to what you had in mind. The problem is that your looks pretty much have no bearing on how your character will play.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut
    Sonic Adventure DX is at its absolute best during the Sonic and Tails segments. Their levels are what you paid the admission price for. The rest are just leftovers.
    • 72 Metascore

    Sonic Heroes
    The lack of guardrails leaves little room for error, and the camera often fails to let you know what's coming until you're already diving head first into a bottomless pit. That's the most common way to go.

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
    A mostly average button masher that has the good luck of being associated with the hottest kids' property to come along in years.
    • 58 Metascore

    Taz Wanted
    The mere history and legacy that the Looney Tunes world and its characters encompass makes for an enjoyable ride. However, history and beauty can only take you so far.

    WWE Raw 2
    A great-looking game that takes "WWE Raw," and adds some impressive new features without correcting some of the control and AI issues from the first game. If you can deal with that, then you may have loads of fun with the game's better play modes.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom
    Although it's probably not quite interesting enough for non-SpongeHeads (if SpongeBob fans aren't called that, they should be), it's sure to please devoted viewers of the show.

    FIFA Soccer 06
    It's tough to keep calling FIFA on issues of accuracy, especially when Konami seems to have soccer realism cornered.

    Links 2004
    Takes golf videogames back to the '80s when it was a boring, elitist sport. It looks to have completely disregarded the shifting of the guard that took place when a certain tiger-striped phenom stepped onto the scene.
    • 72 Metascore

    Need for Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0
    There's nothing wrong with Most Wanted, exactly, but neither is there anything to make it stand out from the many good racers already available for the PSP.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Suffering: Ties That Bind
    The main problem is that Ties That Bind doesn't live up to the once-promising pedigree of "The Suffering." While we got more of some things--more swearing, more gore, and more story--we actually ended up with less: less ammo, less creativity, and fewer thrills to keep you going.
    • 75 Metascore

    Culdcept Saga
    The simplicity of Culdcept hides an incredibly deep system, but one that almost everyone will grasp immediately.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rave Master: Special Attack Force
    It could use a little more polish in the character balance department, and the story mode is a tad short with only seven stages, but the vibrant visuals and ability to fight against multiple opponents will please those looking for some "Super Smash Bros."-style action on the small screen.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Postal 2
    No sane person could dispute the sicko nature of Postal 2, but it's clearly presented in an utterly goofy, slapstick manner and prefaced with warnings for the easily confused.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu
    It’s better than DBZ games used to be – back when nobody, fan or otherwise, could possibly stomach them – but Atari and Bandai still have a ways to go.
