A pint of blood, a teaspoon of decapitation, and a helluva lot of violence makes the perfect evil action game.

Not just a game, it's an experience, and well worth the three-year wait...It almost makes you wonder how Hideo Kojima might fare directing a movie based on the Metal Gear license.

Contains a lot more of what people loved about GTA3, along with a dream-come-true soundtrack and voice cast, and over twice as many missions.

It's been a long time since I've given such high scores across the board to any game; then again, it's been a long time since any game I've reviewed so richly deserved it!

The best iteration of Madden ever...The only possible gripe I can have is the lack of in-game chat and other online features, but that’s what next year is for.

A great online game that will give you tons of replayability long after you are done playing its single player mode. Hats off to Neversoft for creating such a stable online environment with GameSpy.

I don't say such things lightly, but this is easily one of the best games I've ever played. Everywhere I look, I find more things I want to praise about this title.

Superior technical capability coupled with the seemingly hundreds of little things that make a football game enthralling and entertaining allows Madden 2002 to reign supreme yet again.

This is the epitome of what fighting games should be, having practice, patience, and technique take precedence over simple button mashing.

The graphics will leave your jaw on the floor. The smooth gameplay will have you thinking you are watching a movie rather than playing a game.

Unfortunately, I found NFL 2K3’s online mode to be somewhat disappointing.

The company has rethought nearly every aspect of the FF franchise, from the battle system to the use of voice acting instead of text and beyond. Nearly every change will be jarring but nearly every change is for the better.

The end-all be-all of football games. At least for this year it is.

Falls just shy of a perfect platformer, but comes darn close to being one of the best I've ever played.

It's basically the vehicular combat equivalent of a fighting game like "Tekken" or "Virtua Fighter"—each character has his reason for entering the tournament and you can play your way through a set of scenarios to complete their quest.

Every fighting fans dream come true. It sports a plethora of characters, a huge variety of battlefields, and the nicest graphics ever seen.

A great game...And with beautiful graphical content and stunning sound effects, ICO is one heck of a production.

Its charismatic cast, wonderful voice acting, drop dead beautiful graphics, and awesome level design make Jak and Daxter one of the best platform/adventure games I've ever played.

This game can suck you in and never let you out - and you may not want to come out. ...this is football at its best.

The best FPS currently out on PS2.

Despite a few blemishes, it's hard to call this game anything but beautiful.

The gameplay is tight (after a few initial tweaks) and it blurs the line between sim and arcade styles of gameplay.

Simply put, NBA 2k3 is the best basketball game ever made.

Very few racing games in the past few years have actually been thoroughly invigorating, and this title comes through in the clutch to deliver a singular racing experience that is nearly unmatched.

The game seems to hearken back to the successes of "Ace Combat 2" by adding fair doses of realism with a good amount of action and intensity. The game's biggest fault lies in its brevity, as it ends much too soon.

The game is one of the longer offerings Konami has offered on PS2 to date...[but] you'll still be left wanting more when the game is over.

Simply put, NBA 2K2 is the best basketball game on the planet. Although it is not perfect, it does emulate the look, feel, and intensity of NBA basketball.

NBA Street delivers in all the ways "NBA Hoopz" didn't.
