    Need for Speed: The Run
    The journey across America is beautifully rendered, capturing the varied landscapes spectacularly as you travel over the Sierra, across the Great Plains, and head towards the East Coast. The quality of the movies is very good too, and the characters' faces are nicely rendered to convey emotion. But the story and the gameplay just don't hold up their side of the bargain, and the game ends up falling short of its considerable potential.

    MS Saga: A New Dawn
    MS Saga is like a cake without icing: it qualifies as a simple dessert, but it's just not tasty enough to be memorable.

    Driver 2 Advance
    A surprisingly solid, fun game engine doesn’t quite counteract boring, repetitive missions...it’s kinda like driving a Ford Mustang around a Wal-Mart parking lot.

    Digimon Battle Spirit
    While Bandai's record with anime licenses is spotty at best, they always seem to devote ample time to the graphics—something fairly obvious when you see BattleSpirit in action.

    Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO
    Helping out the younger GameCube fans with its “easy operation” system and keeping all the arcade trappings for the older crowd sounds like a good idea, but Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO comes up short.

    Coded Arms: Contagion
    The game works and I got a minor amount of satisfaction completing higher level missions in the story mode. However, The clunky menus, gun fire that sounds like a woodpecker trapped in a metal trash can, and freeze-framing of the character in the middle enemy assaults are just more examples in which there just wasn't enough effort put into Contagion.

    Arctic Thunder
    Moderately enjoyable with good replay value, but its many flaws really hinder what could have been a great romp in the snow.

    Mega Man Battle Network 3 White
    If you're not a Mega Maniac, there's no point in bothering with this game. [June 2003, p.96]

    PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient
    PIQ2 provides a robust online environment for competitive puzzle solving, but unfortunately it does little to captivate or entertain with its core gameplay. Only those willing to dedicate a decent chunk of their day to what amounts to a standardized test in polygonal form need apply.

    Rayman 3D
    When you consider that the game is at its best when the 3DS' depth slider is at its lowest setting and the game is already available for other platforms at a price far lower than $40, Rayman 3D makes little sense on Nintendo's newest handheld. While it's nice to have a 3D platformer for this 3D platform, a more polished effort would have been better.

    Ion Assault
    Ion Assault is a decent download, but don't expect to be very hooked after a few days of playing it. It doesn't boast a "Wow!" factor whatsoever.

    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
    A too-straightforward, by-the-numbers Zelda-style action number that’s strictly for the younger Potter fan interested in playing an interactive storybook.

    Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection
    The new levels are just plain boring, and the action doesn’t really pick up until you hit the original PC missions. Far worse, the game completely—and lamely—lacks multiplayer action or online support.

    Fatal Frame
    Despite a few well-placed jolts, it lacks the unmentionable-damaging impact of more fright-fraught fare like "Silent Hill 2."

    Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal
    If you have played any pre-Super Nintendo RPGs, you've played this game. The characters and enemies are uninspired; the dialogue is a little flat; and the twenty-leveled tower is agonizingly mind-numbing.

    Evasive Space
    It's an advanced version of a game like Asteroids -- yet has an advanced multiplayer where you and three other friends (or strangers) can get together in a last-man-standing fight to the death, a definite positive for the title.

    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
    What was supposed to be a revelation, a next generation of sorts, has become instead a disappointing follow-up to a beloved game. [Mar 2004, p.68]

    Metal Slug Anthology
    Assuming you have a GameCube controller, these classic games are still a blast to play, but this particular release of them is hardly the tenth anniversary treatment the series deserves. Hopefully one day SNK will get the job done properly.

    R.U.S.E.
    It's a poorly executed game whose key concepts are either broken or mismanaged, and definitely won't displace THQ's stellar Company of Heroes, or any other worthwhile RTS, from your hard drive.

    Hydrophobia
    If you're still interested in seeing what Hydrophobia has to offer, the Challenge Room and unique story definitely stand out as bright spots amid the otherwise murky gameplay. Otherwise, you're probably better off saving your Microsoft Points for something with a little more polish and replay value.

    Star Trek: New Worlds
    A rockin' soundtrack along with quality sound effects and voice acting add to the production value, but can't improve the gameplay.

    Samurai Warriors
    The core gameplay is carbon copy stuff you've been through before: point to the swarm of guys with the red bars over their heads, keep mashing buttons until they're all dead, find another group on your map, repeat ad nauseum. [June 2004, p.68]

    Eco-Creatures: Save the Forest
    If not for the wretched controls, it would be a perfect first-time RTS game for the younger crowd. As it stands though, it's too frustrating for both veterans and beginners.

    Conflict: Desert Storm
    If you played "SOCOM" for the chat, however, then you'll probably abandon this game early on.

    Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
    A big, huge game of half-baked ideas. There’s a ton of gameplay and a pretty interesting story here, if you’re willing to deal with bugs, control problems, and lots of loading screens.

    Bounce On 2: Drallo's Demise
    Don't get me wrong -- I really like this game; all of the varied power-ups do a fantastic job of keeping the levels (despite their large numbers) fresh, and as far as platformers on the iPhone go, this is definitely up there with the best.

    Lumines Plus
    The good thing is, the game is priced as a value title, and for puzzle fanatics, or for fans of the PSP titles, this is a great package. But honestly, playing Lumines made me long for the intricate simplicity of Tetris, and it's just a reminder that perfection, once achieved, can be hard to top.

    Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos
    Poor visual presentation, repetitive, very short.
    • 56 Metascore

    Touch the Dead
    Touch the Dead is like a decent B-grade horror movie: sure it's laughably bad at points but there's a loveable camp quality to it that makes it worth enduring through.

    The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean
    If someone had bothered to design an original game around this level of technology and artistry, we'd really have something. Too bad we got this mid-'90s relic instead.
