    Driver 2
    Collisions are far too bouncy-what should be minor dust-ups send your car cartwheeling through the air, and many of the timed missions have far too little breathing room.

    Rise of the Kasai
    A mild-mannered blood-spattered adventure that's worth a one-time run through, and doesn't have a warrior's tenacity for a long-term fight to the legendary halls of action gods.

    Afro Samurai
    Far from perfect but still an incredibly entertaining play, Afro Samurai captures all of the style and substance from the hit TV show with amazingly innovative combat and absolutely stunning visuals.

    Blood Will Tell
    Despite the flaws in some of the camera angles, Blood Will Tell is still an enjoyable game. Even if you have to gruel out some time with the local monsters in between, the boss fights are really what this game is about as they come plentiful.

    Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
    It's a little rough around the edges, so we'd still recommend Resident Evil 4 as the premiere Wii survival horror game, but if you want to dismember the undead in a non-lightgun setting, it's a pretty solid choice.

    Yanya Caballista: City Skater
    Although its gameplay is derivative, Yanya Caballista’s ludicrous B-movie plot, wacky animation, and cartoon-inspired zaniness give it entertainment value.

    Madden NFL 12
    After years of claiming that they have to get the "gameplay right" before moving on to other issues, it seems that Tiburon has, for the most part, done just that. So, the foundation seems to be in place, but as with the Detroit Lions, Madden 12 is probably still a year away (sorry, Lions fans). But take heart: it'll be a good year nonetheless.

    Sketch Nation Shooter
    Unsurprising, but still pretty hilarious.

    The Dark Spire
    However, I realize there is indeed a market for this kind of game, and for those looking for a fun (albeit masochistically hard) old-school RPG, there is no better place to go than The Dark Spire. [Apr 2009, p.80]

    Capcom vs. SNK Pro
    For fighting enthusiasts still holding on to their PlayStation, Capcom vs. SNK Pro will entertain you. PS2 owners, though, should skip this title and just pick up "Capcom vs. SNK 2" instead.

    East India Company
    In the end, East India Company is a game that manages to merge effectively its twin themes of trading and naval combat. Unfortunately its also a game that is plagued with several important interface issues that make the game more frustrating and tedious than it really should be.

    Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition
    Some youngsters might get impatient with stopping the action to draw every little nick-nack in the game (which requires a lot of sheathing and unsheathing the stylus), but those with an artistic flair will have a great time.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
    It's not very realistic - the A.I. is <I>really</I> dumb...Even though Pandora Tomorrow looks and feels a lot like Pandora Yesterday, that doesn't mean it's not a good game. A little slow, a little frustrating, sure, but still fun. [May 2004, p.78]

    Katamari Forever
    While Forever is still a fine offering that die-hard fans will certainly enjoy, the lack of new content really put a dent in the game's overall enjoyment value for me.

    Deca Sports Extreme
    Deca Sports Extreme is, like the past Deca Sports games, an all-around solid mini-game compilation.

    The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
    An enjoyable if unremarkable cooperative action-adventure title.

    Robot Unicorn Attack Heavy Metal Edition
    If not for the low price-point, I'd recommend Robot Unicorn Attack: HME for the hard-rocking sountrack alone.

    Fatal Frame
    Discovering hidden ghosts and piecing together the mystery of the mansion are almost fun enough to excuse the lame combat controls, but not quite.

    M.A.C.H. Modified Air Combat Heroes
    The game's style suits portable gaming perfectly, it's just a shame that there isn't much there to keep any gamer occupied for long.

    Sr. Mistu
    Sure the soundtrack and controls are a bit strange, but Sr. Mistu is one of those games that deserves to be played. It's pretty and sports a genuinely unique mechanic, which I thought was a lot of fun. After a patch or two, this has the potential to be really great.

    War Front: Turning Point
    A game that has enough personality to stand above the crowd, at least until its audience tires of its regurgitated gameplay mechanics.

    Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
    I am giving FoF the benefit of the doubt because it's obvious that it's geared towards a younger audience: the difficulty is low, the action is mind-numbingly simplistic and the overall vibe of the game, from the art style to the character dialogue, is juvenile--as in youthful, not immature.

    Geist
    The first-person combat is lively, but decidedly average. The controls are overly-sensitive and a little imprecise, particularly for movement up and down (the y-axis). Oddly there are no adjustments to dampen or even this out.

    Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward
    It's as mindless as they come, and combing over the uninspired levels looking for needles in haystacks isn’t particularly fun, but if you're looking for a PS2 meatgrinder of a game, Wayward’s a top candidate.

    The King of Fighters XII
    Most gamers may not want to pay full retail price for only a handful of light features, despite how pretty the game is, but if you love your fighters old-school and 2D, The King of Fighters XII is probably worth checking out.

    Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
    Though the implementation of combat-enhancing Force abilities is a welcome addition to the sequel, overall the game lacks depth&#151;mostly because by now we should expect more intricate enemy-A.I. routines.

    Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
    Though it has flaws, Sacred 2 has more than enough personality to make it a solid action RPG.

    nail'd
    It takes time before it breaks out of its shell to show its true colors (which you can dive into immediately if you hop online), but Nail'd is rarely dull and has a lot to offer.

    Mega Man Battle Network 2
    Deceptively engaging.

    The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
    A perfectly competent beat-'em-RPG, even if it doesn't do much to carve out its own niche in the Lord of the Rings universe. Its strength and weakness is that it's completely inoffensive -- the perfect middle-of-the-road game. Unfortunately, it's hard to see what helps differentiate War of the North from the pack, and the pack is where it's apt to stay.
