    SkyGunner
    A great shooter, the best that has come my way in over a year.

    Le Mans 24 Hours
    If "Gran Turismo 3 A-spec" was like opening Christmas presents as a kid, then Le Mans 24 Hours is a lot like getting mugged.

    Burnout
    An arcade racer with tight controls and graphics, plays great and a blast to watch.

    Spider-Man: The Movie
    Spiderman is meant to be a console game. It works on the PC, but would just feel better on a console system. I also encountered a few bugs and an occasional crash on the PC.

    Kessen
    It seems as if the story actually is more important than the game.

    Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions
    If you’ve played "Metropolis Street Racer" or "Project Gotham Racing," or even "Grand Theft Auto 3," you still haven’t seen anything yet with the detail of Wreckless.

    Hot Potato!
    The main problem with Hot Potato! is that it lacks something crucial to any puzzle game: it's simply not addictive.
    • 73 Metascore

    Motor City Online
    In a move that shows the team’s dedication to the project, the game sees a slew of updates, even though the game is nearly a year old...The game runs beautifully with the only negatives coming in the obvious lag issues that tend to plague online games.

    Sled Storm
    To not feature a four player option feels almost archaic in this era of gaming.

    Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
    This is one of those games that perhaps should have stayed on the Dreamcast. The main problem is that the game wasn’t all that fun to begin with.

    Gunvalkyrie
    The most baffling part of the game's design [is] the horribly inept control scheme. Instead of fully taking advantage of the Xbox controller's functions, everything is crammed and clumped together.

    Shadow Hearts
    The product as a whole just feels recycled and re-hashed from other, more superior products.

    Star Wars: Racer Revenge
    This game is just so horrifically bad that I cannot recommend it to anyone without feeling guilty inside.

    Test Drive
    What’s great about this game is that it includes vehicles to suit the tastes of every type of motorhead out there.

    Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat
    Pirates is an excellent game in one regard; it allows you a great deal of freedom to explore and to complete the game at your own pace.
    • 72 Metascore

    Outlaw Golf
    Not only is it very realistic in it’s approach to the game, it is, hands down, the most fun and funniest golf game I have played.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Sum of All Fears
    Think of The Sum of All Fears as the horribly ill-conceived marriage of "Rainbow Six" and your basic arcade first person shooter.

    Black & White: Creature Isle
    I’d compare the enjoyment once can get from Creature Isle to that of sitting on a cross Atlantic flight for 14 hours in a seat next to a crying baby. It’ll have you raving to your friends for hours, but for all the wrong reasons.

    James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire
    It is unfortunately short.

    Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns
    Where the Clone Campaigns really excels is in multiplayer mode.

    Aero the Acro-bat
    Feels stale in this day and age. It does have a different feel, and holds up compared to a few of the platformers I’ve seen on the system, so I do recommend it.

    Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic
    I wasn’t wowed with the graphics or blown away with the gameplay, but it kept me in front of the monitor. If you enjoyed the first you’ll enjoy this one.

    Stuntman
    I’m not kidding, nearly every facet of this game screams ‘PSONE!’, had Reflections not decided to include the excellent DVD add-ons, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one appear on the little gray box.

    James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire
    For the first time in a video game, I actually felt that I could relate to the character. I didn’t feel like I was controlling some generic on-screen persona, I felt that I was James Bond.

    State of Emergency
    It’s like on your 16th birthday where you’re expecting a set of keys that will unlock a brand new car but instead you get an all-season bus pass. Except multiply that disappointment by about fifty times and you have what it feels like to play State of Emergency.

    Dark Summit
    If a game’s success is measured by 4 am mornings with Red Bull leaking from your mouth, then Dark Summit is a keeper.

    Blood Wake
    Even in split screen with 4 players, the graphics and frame-rate are top notch and don’t seem to suffer with all the added chaos.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Spy Hunter
    Don’t get me wrong, some of the levels had a lot of exciting, action packed moments, but it would have done MUCH better as an action/adventure game than as a pure racing/shooting one.

    Gallop Racer 2001
    I am very impressed at the level of depth this game provides. If there’s anything to complain about, it’s the fact that you can't 'manage-only' – you must race your horse.

    NBA Live 2002
    One part of the game that had me screaming at my players like Bobby Knight, and wanting to choke them out a la Latrell Sprewell, was that they would box out effectively maybe one out of forty times, and have no opposing player near the ball as it drops from hitting the rim.
