    Metroid Prime
    While hardcore FPS fans might be a little put off early with the amount of exploring that has to be done, those prepared to put in some serious hours will be constantly enthralled as the puzzles unravel. A visual and sonic masterpiece, MP is destined to go down as one of the best computer games of all time.

    Half-Life 2
    If you're looking for a game that sucks you right into the screen, this is it. This is your FPS benchmark, this is the game of the year; this game is the beautiful, imaginative, detailed masterpiece of 2004.

    Resident Evil 4
    One of the most intense and exciting game for the PS2 in ages.

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
    A simple tale, high on adventure but amazingly engrossing that really sucked me in. And a lot of humour as well that had me reminiscing my early "Monkey Island" days (I've seen those skulls before!).

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
    The fact that you can do whatever you want, gunning down rival gang members, impressing the girls, robbing the rich, breaking into the Army Depot, whether it is flying a plane, or pimping out your car, playing some pool, riding across country, the game play is endless.

    Halo 2
    Optimatch is annoying many online gamers; the Flood is annoying many offline players and lowers the replayability factor, and the storyline has gone in a completely different direction to where everybody assumed it would go.

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
    There are certain games that come along, a few very generation, and they are the pinnacle of a genre, or an ideal. Such is A Link to the Past. The game is as close to flawless as is humanly possible.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
    Rise of Legends does evolve the series and the genre. The gameplay is perfectly balanced between all three factions and the graphics stunning. Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends features the best balance I’ve seen in an RTS – ever. If you are a fan of the genre, don’t go past this title!!

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    The best stealth game ever, period.

    Burnout 3: Takedown
    It's the best racing game on the current gen consoles. I doubt we will see a better racing game until Xbox 2 or PS3 hits. Burnout 3 is a must have title on the Xbox.

    God of War
    Without a doubt one of the best Playstation 2 games ever. It puts the average action-adventure game to shame.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    It really is storytelling at its best, without coming across too contrived at any point and opens up the bridge between watching a story, and participating in it.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Burnout 3: Takedown
    Criterion's Render ware engine is hardcore, with a draw distance which is jaw dropping. The frame rate in the game stays solid through out and provides a brilliant feeling of speed you can’t get in any other game.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
    This is how you make a near-perfect game even better.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Unreal Tournament 2004
    For fast trigger gameplay, and the best in fast and furious gameplay, there is still nothing better than Unreal Tournament 2004.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Viewtiful Joe
    An instant classic. Joe has an awesome array of moves that are all great fun to pull off. The graphics are brilliant, and the controls are perfect.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
    There is the slight hint that it may need a bit of a fresh direction if the GTA series is not to become just another set of endless and ever-increasingly bland sequels.

    World of Warcraft
    One of the best games ever made, and the experiences continue to amaze players throughout the whole game.
    • 93 Metascore

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
    The fact you can complete the main storyline and still only be 30% into completing the game really shows you how much depth Rockstar have included in the game.

    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    It'll take you a good 20 hours to finish the game, and the cinematic effects throughout the game are well worth the gameplay hours.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    Four things that made Prince of Persia Sands of Time stand out: the wonderful 3D animation, the design of the puzzles, sensational game play, and the new look at an old franchise.

    Forza Motorsport
    You can sum up this game in two words, "Sheer Perfection".
    • 92 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
    It is a masterpiece that will last for one to two weeks.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    ESPN NFL 2K5
    A title which a lot of Australians will have fun with. A lot of gamers here are curious about American Football with the hype, big hits and spectacular plays but get turned off by the strategies in which ESPN NFL 2005 will be a perfect match.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Rome: Total War
    The in-battle game engine is entirely unmatched for realism and its unique vast - and yet personal - nature, while the turn based world map is both complex and involving.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Super Mario Sunshine
    Mario Sunshine is utterly playable, and oozes quality. The addition of the FLUDD backpack was a wise decision, and really opens the 'fludd-gates' (sorry.) for some clever level design.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
    But if you throw away expectations of Metroid Prime: Volume 2, and instead think of it as Metroid: Echoes - a separate game - you'll realise that the changes Retro made are just as amazing as the transition to Gamecube was for the original.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Madden NFL 2005
    Madden's game play gets better each year with new innovations and deeper franchise modes. This year the offense and defense are more balanced.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
    Excellent work has also been done with the voice acting of the characters. It is as if they hand picked the voices first and then made the looks of the characters to reflect the voices because the voices are well trimmed to the personality of the character they resemble.
