    Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
    Banana Mania doesn't reinvent the wheel (ball?), but it doesn't need to. Having the ability to play classic Super Monkey Ball levels and minigames without having to drag your old consoles and CRT TV out of storage would be enough of a selling point on its own, but the additional gameplay tweaks and charming extras sweeten the deal quite a bit. If you're a longtime roller who's missed AiAi and his jungle buddies--or if you're a newcomer looking for an easy-to-learn action/puzzle game that will keep you busy for a good while--you'll want to take Banana Mania for a spin.

    MX Unleashed
    Another very good entry in a solid series of motocross games. It plays well, and it has great control and a lot of tracks and objectives.

    Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
    The PlayStation action adventure classic makes an unlikely appearance on the Nintendo DS, complete with some surprising new twists and all the gory scares that made the original so memorable.

    Summoner 2
    By and large a very good adventure role-playing game, with a memorable cast of characters and plenty of pure action.

    Einhander
    And while the fruit of its efforts may not be the miracle this genre needs for a complete revival, it's just about as good as shooters get.

    Soldiers: Heroes of World War II
    The game's level of challenge often borders on being punishing, but fans of tactical strategy games will find that the effort is worth it.

    James Bond 007: NightFire
    Those purely looking for a first-person shooter won't find that NightFire is the best choice around, but as a Bond game, NightFire successfully re-creates the style, presentation, and action of its source material.

    Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
    Overall, Rogue Squadron is a good mission-based shooter. The mix of levels really keeps the pace of the game fresh and exciting. Any fan of the first level of "Shadows of the Empire" really should check out Rogue Squadron.

    Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2
    Almost identical to the first Ultramix. This might have been a big disappointment if this entry in the series wasn't still the best value to be found in a DDR game.

    Silent Hill 4: The Room
    Pairs third-person and new first-person gameplay with an emphasis on combat and item management. The resultant hybrid has some flaws, but The Room retains the dark, disturbing soul that is the unsettling center of the Silent Hill experience.

    Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
    Makes up for its simplistic gameplay and brief quest with a great deal of variety.

    Culdcept
    The well-designed mechanics, combined with its sheer amount of content, make Culdcept easily recommendable to fans of strategy games and even to fans of role-playing games.

    Lost Magic
    LostMagic is a role-playing game that starts well and gets deeper and better as you spend more time with it.
    • 86 Metascore

    Midnight Club II
    It may not be as visually stunning or control as well as some other racers, but the game does a little bit of everything and does it all well.

    Powerdrome
    A surprisingly accomplished, by-the-books, futuristic racing game.

    The Temple of Elemental Evil
    Despite its bugs, The Temple of Elemental Evil stands as one of the most authentic PC Dungeons & Dragons experiences of the past few years.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007
    A slower, slightly clunkier wrestling game than what the PS2 version was able to deliver, but it still works great for the PSP's capabilities.

    EverQuest: The Planes of Power
    Mostly geared toward EverQuest's dedicated, hard-core following.

    James Bond 007: NightFire
    While NightFire is hurt by its relatively short length, the game's single-player mode is well constructed, and its multiplayer mode is good too.

    NASCAR 2001
    Although the graphical experience emphasizes clarity over extravagance, even the game's graphical palette exudes quality.

    Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams
    The game's visuals have the distinct look of a PS2 game. Since that's not in and of itself a bad thing, the game looks good, but it's not the best-looking game on the Xbox. Looks aside, the Xbox-exclusive episode is the main attraction here.
    • 74 Metascore

    Darkwatch
    If you're looking for an intense shooter experience, Darkwatch will not disappoint, offering crisp gameplay, an excellent presentation, and a varied campaign.

    NHL 2K7
    NHL 2K7 for the Xbox lacks much of the forward progress of its Xbox 360 counterpart and instead provides a mostly great hockey game that you've pretty much played before.
    • 70 Metascore

    FlatOut
    For those who just want to race fast, wreck hard, and look good doing it, FlatOut fits the bill.

    Ninja Five-O
    The saying "They don't make 'em like they used to" is totally applicable to video games, and Ninja Five-0 is a great throwback to how they used to make 'em.

    Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II
    If you're completely new to the Phantasy Star Online experience and you're willing to pay the fees for online play, then you'll find an incredibly addictive game that will keep you glued to the TV for hours on end.

    Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
    Immortal Throne offers some really good high-level content for established Titan Quest fans to dig into, while retroactively adding small but meaninful improvements to the original Titan Quest.

    Mortal Kombat II
    If you want to play Mortal Kombat II over the Internet, then this is what you've been waiting to play.
