    Halo: Combat Evolved
    With an incredible, engrossing campaign, Halo could stand on its own; fortunately, the addition of Internet multiplayer sweetened with two new vehicles, two new weapons, and six new maps makes the PC version even more worthwhile. Unfortunately, performance issues plague the game, preventing easy play through the game’s campaign due to poor framerates.

    Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
    It is the best RPG experience you can find on Xbox to date (sorry "Morrowind," you were impressive, but you were just not that much fun).

    Galactic Civilizations
    Definitely not flashy in the presentation department, Gal Civ more than makes up for it with excellent gameplay that is updated with new tweaks, bug fixes, and content very often.

    Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II
    As with all console versions of PSO, serious design flaws significantly detract from the game, namely poor enemy AI and sensory awareness, horrible targeting, and a thin plot.

    Icewind Dale II
    A very good game...Though, one simple fact remains constant. The engine is truly showing its age.

    Spider-Man 2
    May not be perfect, as it does have some flaws in the graphics department and enemy A.I. causing the game to seem unbalanced at times, but with the new features and enhanced gameplay of this title easily makes it a Must Have game.

    Combat Flight Simulator 2: WWII Pacific Theater
    Overall, the game is clean and reminds me of the old "Pacific Strike" from Origin, though more playable and it doesn't crash my computer.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
    An outstanding visual and audio presentation, marred only by cheesy music, support quality gameplay.

    • 84 Critic Score
    Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
    Xenosaga's biggest strength - an incredibly deep, often thought-provoking storyline - could end up being its commercial downfall. The abstract philosophical references and heavy religious imagery bookending the sheer glut of cinematics may simply prove to be too much for the casual gamer to handle.

    Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
    A terrific title. Allowing gamers to go through each mission either sneaking around and sporting disguises in third-person mode or blasting your way through waves of guards in first-person mode, the game is a lot of fun.

    Crimson Skies
    I wholeheartedly recommend this game to all people in search of a good flight sim -- or just a chance to be a daredevil pilot.

    Rayman 3
    Colorful, detailed, and challenging, the game evolves the series’ gameplay and style. With a ton of unlockable features, including extras available only with connection to a GameCube, Rayman 3 has plenty of playing value.

    James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing
    Intense, energetic, and simply fun, you’re sure to need a shaken martini after experiencing the action-packed gameplay of James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing.

    MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries
    The focus on cash and reputation provides a nice break from the usual fair. If you like giant walking robots , then you have to get this game.

    Maximo vs Army of Zin
    A new combination counter and streamlined abilities system make playing the game easier and more rewarding. Dramatically reducing the penalties for death, as well as the roots causes behind it, make playing Maximo vs. Army of Zin a less frustrating and more pleasant experience.

    Rally Trophy
    Rally Trophy claims to be the only Rally racing game based on historic automobiles… So What!?! Historic or not, they are still just tools used to get around the same old boring tracks.

    Capitalism II
    The only problems were with the interfaces, which get confusing and messy, kind of like my desk, so I guess that is a little too realistic.

    NHL Hitz 20-03
    It offered fair and fun gameplay and easy controls that were simple to maneuver...For a non-sports game fan, I was delighted to play a sports game and like it.

    Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings
    The rich, continuing back story is among the most fascinating found in the MMORPGs, and the fact that players can take part in the story truly adds to the experience.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Warlords Battlecry II
    The game is held back from greatness by a few gameplay issues that sometimes create feelings of repetitiveness (in campaign mode), confusion (losing track of heroes and important characters in battle), and frustration (heroes dying because you cannot locate them in pitched battles, and accidentally misdirecting troops due to erroneous mouse clicking).

    Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic
    Despite the recycled graphics engine and undulating difficulty, Shadow Magic offers outstanding gameplay with unlimited playability in a variety of gameplay modes.

    Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
    George’s finely crafted witticisms and Nico’s finely crafted, er, investigative skills make the game a pleasure to play; moreover, the plot is engrossing and really pushes you to keep gaming in an effort to uncover more of the nefarious scheme being perpetrated.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
    The graphics are quite goods, as are the maps, with lots of little places to work around and use for cover. For the snipers out there, you will be pleased.

    Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel
    It will push you to be a better gamer, but once complete it has little replay value.

    Sega GT 2002
    Were it not for the lack of Xbox Live support, the somewhat tedious pace of the Career mode..., Sega GT would be nothing less than a "Gran Turismo" killer.

    Star Fox Adventures
    The game's gorgeous graphical presentation makes for a pleasant experience that eases the moments when excessively polished design bogs gameplay down.

    Syberia
    Overall, the game puzzles are too easy, which makes the game boring at times.

    Virtual Pool 3
    Pool fans will be happy with this game (unless they have a "Diamond Viper II"), especially if they're snowed in this winter and can't get down to their local billiards hall.

    Links 2003
    I was amazed at the strength of the gameplay. With the tremendous online abilities and the multiple options for each player, the game has great depth.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Earth & Beyond
    Beyond some pesky micromanagement at times, Earth & Beyond is a well thought out and executed MMPOG in the voids of space, offering a compelling and expanding storyline set far into the future where you can actually explore the galaxy that we only dream of exploring today.
