    Red Dead Revolver
    A gorgeous game, flawlessly presented in a fashion that will have you think you are watching and then participating in your very own Spaghetti Western. Sure there are plenty of old movie clichés, but it wouldn’t be the same without them.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Shrek 2
    The designers have managed to capture the charm and visual style of the films and recreate a small portion of that magic on the small screen – the very small screen.

    Shrek 2
    The bottom line is you won’t find a more fun-filled multiplayer party game for the Xbox; one that rivals "Dungeons and Dragons Hereos," not in sophistication, but in pure enjoyment for the entire family.

    City of Heroes
    The epitome of effective game design, especially with regards to the MMO arena. If you have even the slightest interest in comic books, role-playing, MMOs, or beating on mooks, you owe it to your self to pick up City of Heroes.

    Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle
    Despite the fact that the whole purpose of the game is to sock it to your fellow players, Lineage II is accomplishing something that other MMOGs have been trying to do for years, it gets the players to actually work together. To me, that fact is pretty huge.

    Serious Sam: Next Encounter
    If you’re sitting at home in your ripped jeans, watching "Army of Darkness" on VHS and have a crumpled Jackson in your pocket, this game is not only calling you, it’s running at you, screaming with a hissing bomb in its hands.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    UFC: Sudden Impact
    It’s only appeal lies in playing with your friends and settling a grudge match. The stilted and repetitive gameplay may bore you quickly, and even more so played solo.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Manhunt
    If you enjoy slow, strategic, stealth gameplay, if you've hacked your way through the most violent games available and still want more blood and sick, twisted, violence then look no further. You won’t find a more stylish or disturbing game than this.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Hitman: Contracts
    The best thing about Contracts is the highly polished gameplay.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Manhunt
    If you enjoy slow, strategic, stealth gameplay, if you hacked your way through "Tenchu: Return from Darkness" and wanted more blood and violence then look no further. You won’t find a more stylish or disturbing game than this.

    TOCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator
    The massive scope of the content, both cars and tracks, makes this an awesome opportunity for racers to sample a bit of all racing genres.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Painkiller (2004)
    An excellent mix of intense first person shooting combined with a sophisticated risk-reward system that actually integrates into the gameplay. The Tarot cards are pure genius and add a whole new level to the genre.

    Alias
    While Sydney is certainly more enjoyable to look at than Sam Fisher or Solid Snake, the simplistic gameplay, lack of stealth, and TV-targeted visual style is likely to appeal only to fans of the show.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Fight Night 2004
    The innovative Total Punch Control is a milestone for the genre and while most likely serve as a template for future boxing games.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    NBA Ballers
    I played three games before reading the manual or even checking out the controller config screen and was shouting at the screen and having the time of my life.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Breed
    If you can suck it up long enough to get to the main menu you will find a very unique shooter with a mix of squad and personal combat that ranges from ground to air to space. Breed is a refreshing diversion from a game like Halo but it’s certainly no substitute.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Beyond the Law: The Third Wave
    Consistently poor design decisions were what seem to have drained all the fun from this title, a pity because it’s not like the market is saturated with Squad-RTS titles.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    War Times
    A fun, playable and respectable effort at capturing the feel of World War II combat, but its magnificent cutscenes and (initially) superb soundtrack end up promising an experience that the blocky graphics, uninspired landscapes and poor sound effects can’t make good on.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Destruction Derby Arenas
    There is plenty of great racing and wrecking action, but the loose controls and last-gen graphics will probably keep this game from achieving the stardom it could have if they designers had gone the extra mile.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps
    An excellent storyline, high production values, sweeping sound, impressive graphics and an attention to detail that would make my professors at Berkeley proud all combine to make Desert Rats one of the best World War II real time strategy games I’ve come across in a long time.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Total Extreme Wrestling 2004
    The best business side wrestling simulator I’ve ever experienced. Unfortunately, the game’s greatest strength, its depth, is also its biggest weakness. It’s a long road to finally understand and control it, but once you do, so many doors and avenues are open to you.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Egyptian Prophecy
    It is at once intriguing, educating, amusing and ultimately fulfilling.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Syberia II
    Does a great job of extending the story started in the first game but it fails to wrap up a lot of details, indicating a possible third installment or simply poor storytelling.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Nemesis of the Roman Empire
    While the audio and visual elements are admittedly showing their age, the core game engine is solid and the computer AI is untouched by anything else in the current crop of competitors.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
    And while the genre may feel comparable to games like "SOCOM" and "Ghost Recon," this is truly a unique gameplay experience, both on and offline and the voice-command system is second to none.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Trivial Pursuit Unhinged
    Delivers incredible new game features that turn a familiar classic into an amazing new experience.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Far Cry
    If you have the system to handle it, Far Cry is a landmark achievement in groundbreaking technology that will not only allow you to show off your expensive new hardware, but let you have one helluva time doing so.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
    Everything you loved about the first game is back and better than before.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Cy Girls
    Note to Japanese game designers – when you kill somebody they had better stay dead unless you give me a real good reason why they keep coming back. Clones, holograms, “beaming” in from remote barracks, anything!
    • 65 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Dark Motives
    This is one of those rare franchises where the game and the show that inspired it complement each other perfectly, and if you are looking for a clever investigation style adventure game then CSI: Dark Motives is the game for you. It’s everything that the first game was and more.
