    Sacrifice (2000)
    It can take you awhile to learn the game, and some of the elements of the combat may occasionally prove unwieldy, but most everything else about Sacrifice is so inventive that you should be able to turn a blind eye to its shortcomings and enjoy the game for its many outstanding qualities.

    Triple Play 2002
    A very fun baseball game to play. The game's great graphics, involving gameplay, and great commentary all blend together to deliver an exciting and authentic game of baseball.

    Fable: The Lost Chapters
    A decidedly great game, all in all. Its most interesting, riskiest features may lie at the fringes rather than at the core--but they're there.

    The Warriors
    It doesn't really matter if you're familiar with the film it's based on; The Warriors delivers as a completely stand-alone work, and any fan of beat-'em-up games is certain to enjoy it on some level. But if you have seen the film, all the better.

    Burnout 2: Point of Impact
    The crash mode alone makes this game worth seeing, and the inclusion of the well-done championship and multiplayer modes makes it the best pure arcade-style racing game available on the Xbox.

    Divine Divinity
    A well-designed, open-ended, lengthy role-playing game sporting impressive graphics and sound and a lot of replay value.

    FIFA Soccer 2003
    An excellent game that will appeal to any soccer fan who prefers realism to the fast-paced, high-scoring style of other soccer games.

    Fable
    A well-put-together but standard action adventure, primarily consisting of lots of basic combat and running from point to point. Mind you, this is a decidedly great game, all in all. Its most interesting, riskiest features may lie at the fringes rather than at the core--but they're there.

    All-Star Baseball 2003
    All-Star Baseball 2003 has High Heat 2003 licked where graphics are concerned, and the inclusion of the franchise mode makes Acclaim's hardball simulation all the more enticing--[but] you can't go wrong buying either one.

    Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
    While the game is definitely a fine technical achievement and one of the best PSP games to date, the dull storyline and basic mission design do bring the whole thing down a bit.

    Zeus: Master of Olympus
    Zeus plays like a best-of-all-worlds combination of some of the greatest strategy games ever.

    Shadow Hearts: Covenant
    Even if you don't explore all the nooks and crannies, Shadow Hearts: Covenant is a great game that any fan of the role-playing genre would likely enjoy; its style, its humor, and its well-crafted battle system set it apart in a world of "Final Fantasy" clones.

    NHL 2001
    While it's not the most beautiful hockey video game, NHL 2001 comes through where it counts - the gameplay.

    Bomberman Tournament
    Easily the best Bomberman to hit these shores since Saturn Bomberman in 1997.

    XGIII: Extreme G Racing
    A smart and solid racing game that provides an amazing feeling of true speed.

    Sid Meier's Pirates!
    The captivating PSP version of this classic PC strategy game captures all the charming fun of being a pirate of the Caribbean.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
    It may not be the best-looking PC game available, but Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 has a solid look and a level of replay value that's unmatched by any game of its type.

    Metroid Fusion
    A throwback to "Super Metroid," offering most of that game's best qualities in an all-new adventure. It's disappointing that Fusion ends so soon, since it's such a great game while it lasts.

    IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles
    Forgotten Battles doesn't make the sort of huge impact that the original game did, but, despite its faults, it's generally a very worthy successor.

    Tropico
    The political wrapper that PopTop has built around the core of the game is sophisticated enough to appeal to all types of strategy game players. The game also has enough heart, soul, humor, and humanity to make it unique.

    FIFA Soccer 2003
    The gameplay is excellent and probably comes closer to mimicking the actual sport than any other soccer game currently available on the Xbox.

    Sonic Adventure 2
    The ghosts of those original 2D Sonic titles are exorcised in the game's amazing pace, heart-pounding platform jumping action, and in the unyielding barrage of creatively designed levels.

    Decisive Battles of WWII Vol 2: Korsun Pocket
    Korsun Pocket is an excellent game, is compelling and addictive for anyone interested in deep strategy games, and is easily the best 2D wargame for the PC to date.

    Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
    The Two Thrones provides a satisfying conclusion to the Sands of Time trilogy, with a lot of the same puzzle solving and gorgeous environments you remembered from the previous two games.

    Ratchet: Deadlocked
    Still one of the best platformers you can find, with a clever story, unique and interesting weapons, and compelling multiplayer options.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Wave Race 64
    May not have the long-term challenge that Mario does, but gamers will find themselves itching to play it for some time. This is a very solid game, in many ways the best racing game ever seen on a home system.
    • 90 Metascore

    NCAA Football 2002
    Certain gameplay issues aside, as with its NFL counterpart, NCAA Football 2002 is oozing with a variety of features and gameplay options.

    Out of the Park Baseball 6
    It may look a lot like its predecessors, but all of these new features give the game an unmatched feeling of authenticity.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
    Fixes virtually all of the problems of its predecessor and stands tall on its own merits as an outstanding action game.
