    The Incredibles
    Lucky for Disney that dull console games don't seem to affect the performance of big movies at the box office. [NGC]

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
    Shudderingly comprehensive, divinely paced and - despite the million of words already written in feverish anticipation - it has the ability to surprise at every turn. This is PS2's defining masterpiece – a sunspot of rare polished magic from experienced developers working at the peak of their powers. [PSM2]

    RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
    When you turn to the on-ride camera mode, and the car starts down the big slides...well, I genuinely feel a tug of induced artificial vertigo. A construction game that gets you in the guts. That's rare. This is a golden ticket. Get in line. [PC Gamer UK, Dec 2004, p.111]

    Grand Theft Auto
    Not actually bad but you won't get lost in it either. For top-down, classic GTA, the original games are more fun to play on a TV. [GamesMaster]
    • 83 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dead or Alive Ultimate
    Pretty and comprehensive but - with the exception of Live play - feels a little outdated. [GamesMaster]
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors
    It's something different, a fighter that refuses to succumb to more worldly pretentions, but one that feels so right. [Xbox World]
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Neo Contra
    The 3D makeover is near-irrelevant - this is firmly rooted in decades-old 'classic' gameplay. Fun, but strangely out of place among more 'modern' PS2 experiences. [PSM2]
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django
    Deduct 60 points if you live in an igloo but if not, Boktai 2 is better than the original. [GamesMaster]
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Men of Valor
    Tense, exciting and inordinately better than "Shellshock" and "Conflict Vietnam" - though the experience can become repetitive at times. [Xbox World]
    • 82 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
    A quirky, memorable title that'll leave RPG veterans spellbound. [GamesMaster]
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    FIFA Soccer 2005
    The best FIFA yet shows genius, but lacks the cohesion that separates a great team from a team of great players - and inescapably, it pales next to "PES4." [PSM2]
    • 55 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    WWE Survivor Series
    There's something about a sweaty slapfest that so far only really works with the big boys of the console world. [GamesMaster]
    • 74 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Midway Arcade Treasures 2
    No actual treasure, unlike its Defender/Robotron-packing predecessor, but you get a few near-classics for 20 quid. [GamesMaster]
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
    An enchanting adventure in Mario's familiar world, with excellent fighting and a brilliant script. [GamesMaster]
    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Counter-Strike: Source
    This update has refreshed our love of the game, bringing a new physicality and violence to online shooters. CS:Source is essential. [PC Gamer UK]
    • 59 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
    Wear your morals round your ankles and keep your mind in the gutter, otherwise this crude comedy is shooting blank. [GamesMaster]
    • 60 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
    Wear your morals round your ankles and keep your mind in the gutter, otherwise this crude comedy is shooting blank. [GamesMaster]

    Get On Da Mic
    Nice idea, let down by dodgy controls. Without the incentive of hitting high notes, it's a lot like singing along to a tape. [GamesMaster]

    Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
    Wear your morals round your ankles and keep your mind in the gutter, otherwise this crude comedy is shooting blank. [GamesMaster]

    Mortal Kombat: Deception
    It's the fighting game they threw the kitchen sink at...This isn't just the biggest Mortal Kombat to date - it's the biggest fighting game, full stop. Topping this will take some doing. [PSM2]
    • 62 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Mario Pinball Land
    As a Mario game it fails. As a pinball game it fails. As a combination of the two it's one of the most annoying games imaginable. [GamesMaster]
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mortal Kombat: Deception
    You've almost got to love Mortal Kombat if you like gaming. It's big, it's brash, it's bloody and it's not in the least bit ashamed. Fatality! [Xbox World]
    • 82 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Myst IV: Revelation
    Slow, tiresome and, fundamentally, a bit broken. [PC Gamer UK]
    • 75 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Evil Genius
    Anyone who enjoys constant challenge (the gaming equivalent of juggling with chainsaws) will find much to love in Evil Genius. The majority of the game's features function extremely well and the theme is rock-solid throughout. [PC Gamer UK]
    • 64 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    Crash Twinsanity
    All a bit pointless, really. We've no love for something as simple as this while Ratchet and Jak just get increasingly complex. Let Crash die with some dignity. [PSM2]
    • 85 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Shadow Hearts: Covenant
    Along with "Star Ocean," "Kingdom Hearts" and "Dark Chronicle," this is one of the few RPGs that dares to throw away the Final Fantasy blueprint, with great results. [PSM2]
    • 76 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Donkey Konga
    Frighteningly entertaining and remarkable in multiplayer. [JPN Import; NGC]
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Rome: Total War
    It's huge, thrilling, epic stuff. Give yourself unto Caesar. [PC Gamer UK]
    • 80 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Full Spectrum Warrior
    Full Spectrum Warrior's heritage as a US Army training tool is all too evident. Pandemic nearly forgot they needed to make a game too, and as a result FSW is too realistic, too automated - and not enough fun. [PC Gamer UK]
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends
    Play solo, as we reckon most people will most of the time, and you will find your three AI buddies, while eager, do have a habit of getting killed more quickly than when you're controlling them. It's not a game wrecker but that sliver of mistrust in your buddies' abilities can intrude on your fun in the heat of battle. [Xbox World]
