Destruction can be a beautiful thing; Burnout 2 does life endangering with more verve, elan and panache than you'll find anywhere else right now.

Not the brightest tool in the shed, but if it’s top multiplayer action you’re after it’s sharp as hell.

Playing a friend is ace while the computer is frighteningly tricky. A goddamn crackerjack humdinger of a game.

Captures the epic corniness of classic old-style comic books without ever scrimping on the gameplay.

While "GoldenEye" was the videogaming equivalent of "Citizen Kane," Agent is just another dumb Hollywood blockbuster.

Why don't they make games like this for home consoles anymore? More fun than a small, spiky mammal with blue skin and a number of dysfunctional woodland friends has any right to be.

An optimized version of previous games, despite clunky dialogue, this is a solid continuation of the series with better graphics, seamless melds between action and cut scenes, and a rockin' story.

From the look and feel of the game to its balanced learning curve and careful pacing, every aspect of Halo has been polished to perfection.

This game still compares favorably with more modern efforts such as Volition's "Red Faction."

Dialogue isn't great, but then, when has RPG dialogue ever been great? The story is good enough to keep you playing, there's lots to see and do - it's a good 'un. If you're an RPG fan then Golden Sun will rock your elf-obsessed world.

Cutting edge in every department and packing a considerable challenge, if you own a PlayStation 2 you simply have to own Devil May Cry.

In terms of sheer depth and pure gameplay, there really is nothing else on the GBA to touch Advance Wars.
