    In this frighteningly entertaining new cart, developers Rare have gone all out, combining nuclear weapons, giant robots, construction vehicles, AND load motor noises in one title. The results are spectacular.

    One of the most popular, most successful, and best looking games for Microsoft's Xbox is now on the GameCube, and in some respects it's better than the original.

    The huge number of levels available and the two-player split-screen mode -- slowdown ridden as it is -- make for an incredible amount of value.

    Fans of the N64 duo of "GoldenEye" and "Perfect Dark" should definitely give this one a try.

    Seriously intense, and anyone with a stomach for the game's concept ought to find it fiendishly entertaining.

    The game may not break much new ground, but with near-perfect visuals and addictive gameplay, NFL Blitz 2001 is major football fun.

    Tropico was a great game, and Paradise Island does exactly what you want from an expansion--it makes it even better.

    It provides more of the same minigames fans have come to expect. The game's quick pace and great multiplayer modes make it an excellent party game.

    One of the most captivating aspects of Worms is the diverse array of options available for each game, effectively making it possible that no two games of Worms are alike.

    Sonic Advance 3 actually brings something new to the table--a tag-team play mechanic that ultimately enhances the overall product rather than mucking it up.

    An almost perfect translation of the arcade original.

    Slowly and deliberately, it's transforming competitive driving from a lonely solo sport to one that brims with interaction. It's turning us from mere drivers into owners and managers, off-track decision-makers and career-seekers.

    If your system can handle it and you don't have any hang-ups with wandering around in dark places, you'll likely find a lot to like.

    Has the same basic engine and gameplay as The Ardennes Offensive and Korsun Pocket, but it incorporates several improvements, including a deadlier computer opponent, a streamlined interface, and much better in-game support, which can be relied on to present answers to most questions with simple mouse-overs.

    If you've ever enjoyed the great 2D strategy games of years past -- or enjoy high-fantasy-themed games in general -- then you'll like Warlords Battlecry, the latest game in developer SSG's long-running Warlords series.

    Psychonauts doesn't reinvent the platformer, but it still delivers an experience that feels wholly original in every aspect of its execution.

    The game seems dead set on making new players comfortable--but this inadvertently sucks out a lot of the challenge.

    At worst, you'll lose some time downloading it. At best, you'll get an unusually intense game that in many ways rivals or surpasses the top commercial tactical shooters.

    Madden NFL 07 for the Wii isn't just a quick-and-dirty port. It's an excellent use of the Wii's motion-sensing capabilities that revitalizes Madden in a number of ways.

    If the setting of Jade Empire appeals to you, along with the promise of a good storyline and some open-ended role playing, then you'll be more than satisfied with BioWare's latest game.

    For the most part, the game is your average military-themed third-person action adventure, complete with locked doors, navigation puzzles, and pattern-based boss battles against a variety of colorful foes. But Psi-Ops sets itself apart incredibly well with its series of well-implemented psychic abilities.

    Offers plenty of single-player campaigns, plus skirmish and multiplayer maps and a good history lesson to boot.

    A flashy and comprehensive baseball sim chock-full of online options, but unfortunately it also shipped with a few noticeable bugs.

    There's nothing quite like it. Some aspects of the game could have used some more polish, but these shouldn't deter anyone looking for a deep, involved, great-looking, and memorable RPG from getting Gladius.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    If you like racing for the sheer thrill of it and don't need to have all the realism, then 4x4 Evolution is definitely recommended.
