    Destroy All Humans!
    An amazing amount of fun but it doesn’t just rely on its novelty to carry it - it’s actually a good game and in the early missions at least has a good pick-up-and-play element.

    Forza Motorsport
    In terms of sheer fun, ease of use and online integration, it's now the racer to beat on any system.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Empire Earth II
    Put away your social calendar strategy fans - this game will eat out months out of your life.

    Jade Empire
    The fantasy world created for the game features plenty of detail, with some of the environments players must traverse looking absolutely fantastic.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition
    Realistic graphics, a real sense of speed and tight controls all add up to Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition being a flat-out adrenalin rush of a game.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    SWAT 4
    Those looking for an excellent mix of first person action and squad-based tactics will find SWAT 4's extremely realistic and involving gameplay hard to beat.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    Chaos Theory takes the best aspects of the previous games and makes them shine even more. Splinter Cell veterans won't find too many new additions, but newbies and vets alike should snap it up as it's the best game in the series so far.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    God of War
    God of War is a stylish, gory and challenging action game that rewards you for skill and persistence. One of the best action titles to be released on the PlayStation 2 so far.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
    That killer axe is just one of the many weapons you'll get to take on hell's minions, and epitomises the game succinctly - oh-so stylish, over the top and yet fiendlishly difficult to master.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
    Not only does it feature great gameplay, but it offers up a virtual documentary of the World War II D-Day landings thanks to its attention to realism and fascinating added extras.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Gran Turismo 4
    And while GT4 is not the massive leap from GT3 some were expecting, the sheer depth and variety of cars and tracks, great physics model and outstanding extras make it by far the best car game available on any system.

    Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
    An outstanding gaming experience that sucks you into its expansive storyline.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Half-Life 2
    Simply extraordinary. It’s clear from the start that Valve have pulled out all the stops, resulting in a well polished game that’s graphically spectacular.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut
    Its excellent production and genuinely unsettling atmosphere make other so-called horror games look about as scary as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
    The best game on the PS2.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    OutRun2
    An old-school racer with an immense amount of charm, although we'd still recommend "Burnout 3" in favour of it -- just.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tribes: Vengeance
    Forget the bogged realism of "Call of Duty" or "Conflict Vietnam"; Tribes: Vengeance is all about big guns, big mecha suits, and big explosions. If you're after some intense fighting with gung-ho madness, then it’s good to get some Vengeance.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Tony Hawk's Underground 2
    A fine sequel, although if you've had your fix of Hawk before, you may not find enough that's genuinely new here to warrant a purchase.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Shark Tale
    A great movie adaptation and very good choice for younger gamers -- or anyone who needs a Christmas present for a younger gamer in a hurry.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Rome: Total War
    A sumptuously detailed and totally engrossing RTS title that can even hook those who normally aren't fans of RTS titles.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends
    It comes with a small array of multiplayer modes and a highly compelling main multiplayer quest -- and these things are always more fun with extra human players -- and it's a title with solid longevity.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Def Jam: Fight for NY
    Def Jam: Fight For NY is a good game -- there's no doubt about that -- but it's perhaps that rarest of fighting games -- one that's better off played solo, or against one other player only, rather than in true multiplayer.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Battlefront
    If you look beyond the Star Wars trappings, however, what you're left with is a game that's not quite as good as it really should be, which is a pity.

    The Sims 2
    My Sim is freshly bathed with a full stomach, empty bladder, and a good night's sleep while I am up at 3am - dirty, hungry, tired, and about to pee on the floor because I'm so involved. That's got to be the sign of a good game -- doesn't it?
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Sly 2: Band of Thieves
    It's a great game, hampered by a release date very close to a number of very prominent titles that are likely to overshadow it in the holiday season.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Burnout 3: Takedown
    Burnout 3 online is extremely good fun -- it's fast, frantic and the gametypes encourage plenty of teamwork, plenty of adrenaline, and naturally enough, plenty of crunched fenders and vehicles gracefully flipping through the air before ploughing at high speeds into concrete pillars.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    WWE Day of Reckoning
    Further refines the grappling engine that Yukes has been using for its gamecube titles, and along the way, offers the best grappling experience you can get -- at least for the time being.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow
    Black Arrow feels like a mission pack for the original Rainbow Six 3, because that's what it is. If you loved Rainbow Six 3, though, you'll undoubtedly love this.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    DOOM 3
    As a single player game played in short burts and with an eye towards old school run and gun style dynamics, we there's precious little that can touch Doom 3.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Athens 2004
    An exercise in masochism, as you'll find that the world records within the game are generally easily knocked over. It's only when you can look across the sofa at tired, sore and elated faces and realise that you just lunged over the line at the last second to grasp victory that you'll find Athens 2004 a really worthwhile game.
