    Cars
    It's hardly the next big thing in driving games, but it still manages to deliver the most authentic Pixar film experience to the video game medium of any previous attempt, and it's certainly one of the better kid-oriented games to come out this year.

    Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed
    Although it offers newcomers two brand-new species to play as, Jump to Lightspeed (like so much of the content added to the game in recent updates) has been designed to reward dedicated, hardcore players rather than appeal to new ones, and that's exactly what it does.

    NHL 06
    It's got all the new rule changes, as well as an almost entirely up-to-date roster, but considering how similar the game is overall to 2005's version, you have to ask yourself, "Is that really enough?"

    Uru: The Path of the Shell
    Offers about seven hours of solid gameplay--give or take an hour--though it suffers from the same problem as Uru: There's no replay value for your $20 once you've completed the game, aside from revisiting your favorite ages and soaking up the scenery again.

    World Tour Soccer
    Boasts more than enough fast-paced gameplay and depth to justify its asking price.

    Madden NFL 07
    Madden NFL 07 cleans up some of the issues of its PSP predecessor, but then it tosses in a small pile of new problems to contend with.

    The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions
    An excellent puzzle game that features humorous Rube Goldberg-style machines, and it is sure to please amateur inventors and puzzle game fans alike.

    Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer
    Though it's not as versatile or accessible as your land-based action sports games, Kelly Slater does the subject matter right by including responsive control, consistently good visuals, and a distinct sense of style.

    Sonic and the Secret Rings
    Sonic and the Secret Rings delivers an excellent sense of speed and plenty of depth, and what's just as impressive is that it makes Sonic fun again.

    Suikoden Tactics
    It doesn't really matter if you've played other games like it before, because Suikoden Tactics is easy to get into and challenging enough to be enjoyable to veterans and newcomers alike.

    MDK 2: Armageddon
    PS2 owners who haven't played any other version of MDK2 should be pleased with the game, and Dreamcast owners who couldn't muster the dedication to complete the game might want to see what they missed on the PS2.

    American Conquest: Fight Back
    The strategy, combat, and even history lessons are excellent.

    Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone
    An evolutionary step above what Stormfront did with "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," and players who appreciate that brand of brute-force, hack-and-slash gameplay should find in it a great-looking and enjoyable, if somewhat familiar, experience.

    Pirates of the Caribbean
    The big, dramatic-looking naval battles pack in a lot of variety, and the open-ended structure of the campaign rewards your curiosity.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Hitman: Contracts
    Given that "Hitman 2" was such a huge improvement on the original, it's inherently somewhat disappointing that the new Hitman: Contracts is really just a rehash. It's more of the same, replete with everything that was good and everything that wasn't so good about the 2002 game.

    Incredible Crisis
    The length keeps the game from achieving greatness, but with its great cast of characters, fun story, and toe-tapping soundtrack, Incredible Crisis still provides an incredibly satisfying, albeit incredibly short, video game experience.

    Ridge Racer V
    Overall, the game feels a little rushed with its easy-way-out track design.

    TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
    With its charm and "something for everybody" mentality, TimeSplitters is sure to offer GameCube owners a good number of things to like, though it feels practically irrelevant when compared to the other versions of the game.

    Medal of Honor: European Assault
    The game's wide-open levels actually encourage players to explore, giving the series a fresh feel compared to past games and other World War II shooters. Unfortunately, a very brief campaign and no online multiplayer means the fun doesn't last long.

    Cloning Clyde
    Cloning Clyde delivers 35 levels of interesting, puzzle-based side-scrolling at a nice price.

    NHL 06
    Sure, it's got all the new rule changes, as well as an almost entirely up-to-date roster, but considering how similar the game is overall to 2005's version, you have to ask yourself, "Is that really enough?"

    Speed Kings
    Even though Speed Kings doesn't stray very far from the "Burnout 2" formula, it's a solid racer that does a great job of conveying an insanely fast sense of speed and requires you to think and react in an instant.

    Odin Sphere
    Despite serious performance issues, Odin Sphere successfully brings together gorgeous, stylized visuals and satisfying gameplay in a lengthy and engaging adventure.

    You Don't Know Jack: Mock 2
    Instant fun for just about anyone that likes trivia.

    Zoids: Legacy
    Does a masterful job of allowing players to collect and put together an army of unique and powerful robots, but it falls short at providing a cohesive or memorable role-playing experience.

    Haven: Call of the King
    The fast-paced, quickly changing gameplay is refreshingly unordinary.

    Chessmaster 9000
    No other product delivers the ease of use and instructional value of Chessmaster 9000.

    Silent Hill 4: The Room
    Just make sure you bring along your dual analog gamepad to ensure that all your terror is generated from the cursed setting--and not from the controls.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked
    The gameplay can get rather tiresome after a while, but Samurai Champloo's goofy sense of humor and stylish touches make it more than just your average button-masher.

    Rugby 06
    Thanks to some crucial new control mechanics, the introduction of star impact players that can blow a match wide open, real clubs and players, and a faithful re-creation of the high-impact sport of rugby, Rugby 06 improves on last year's effort and remains an engaging and fun game.
