    NCAA Football 2004
    If you're a casual college football fan and you already own last year's game, then there really isn't a huge reason for you to buy the Xbox or GameCube versions of the game, especially since neither features online play. But if you're a hard-core fan, then you will certainly enjoy all of the new features.

    Ridge Racer
    Does a fine job of showing off the system's technical prowess while simultaneously providing more of the same smooth Ridge Racer gameplay that still holds up after all these years.

    The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
    Some will appreciate the game's differences, while others will find the game's focus on minigames and side quests tedious and slightly out of place.

    NFL Blitz 20-03
    Works out many of the kinks found in last year's game and gets the series back on track.

    Final Fantasy IV Advance
    Final Fantasy IV, arguably the breakthrough entry in the influential series, is a perfect fit for the Game Boy Advance and is a must-play experience for fans of role-playing games.

    SimCity 4: Rush Hour
    Takes the next step by adding such useful features that you'll wonder why they weren't in the original game.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine
    This retail package containing Bethesda's downloadable content updates for its groundbreaking role-playing game gives you more quality questing for Oblivion for a budget price.

    Colin McRae Rally 3
    The most realistic rally game released for the PlayStation 2 to date, but it offers very little in the way of gameplay options and can occasionally prove frustrating because it makes you overly dependent on the instructions of codriver Nicky Grist.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Star Fox 64
    Star Fox 64 is the kind of game you will spend many sleepless nights with - even after you finish. An instant N64 classic.

    Donkey Kong Country 2
    A diverse platform game with excellent graphics and sound and an impressive list of bonus features. The game's most defining feature, though, is its sharp degree of difficulty, which may prove frustrating for some younger or less dedicated players.

    Battalion Wars
    A well-made action strategy game that offers a whimsical art style, setting it apart from other games that try to take a more serious approach. But don't let the cartoonish looks fool you--even veteran players will get a satisfying and serious challenge from the campaign.

    Harvest Moon: Back To Nature
    Surprisingly one of the most satisfying role-playing experiences to be found on the PlayStation.
    • 91 Metascore

    Spyro: Year of the Dragon
    It's an extremely well-made game that offers a lot of fun to the player, but these few factors cause it to score right outside the class of "Super Mario 64" and "Banjo-Kazooie," so it only gets very, very high marks, instead of outrageously high marks.

    College Hoops 2K6
    It's not the prettiest looking game, but College Hoops 2K6 still delivers where it counts, as a deep and accurate simulation of NCAA basketball.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Twisted Metal: Black Online
    Doesn't include any of the storyline or single-player progression from the original game, but it does include the same terrific gameplay and a few new game modes built for online multiplayer action.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Shadow of Rome
    Packs some of the most brutal hand-to-hand combat ever, and there's plenty of story and intrigue to conveniently justify all the gory violence.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Tokobot
    Tokobot is a charming and entertaining platformer, and its only major setback is that there isn't more of it to go around.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Mercury Meltdown
    By scaling back the difficulty a smidge and coloring up the presentation, Mercury Meltdown provides an even better puzzle game experience than its predecessor.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Mario Kart Super Circuit
    Not only visually resembles Mario Kart, but also sounds and plays just like one of the most memorable racing games of all time.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
    Boasting better visuals and lots of gameplay, Harmony of Dissonance is not just a fine Castlevania game--it's also one of the better GBA games to come around in a while.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Shadow of Destiny
    Gamers willing to invest the time required to unravel the title's mysteries will discover one of the PS2's most enjoyable games and one of the most original adventure games to grace a console.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Unreal Tournament
    Has consistently ambitious level design throughout, even in the PS2-exclusive maps, and the entire game benefits from it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends
    Packs in a good number of different playable characters and great-looking graphics into an easy, but fairly lengthy adventure. It all combines to form a great action RPG with strong action and a well-told story.

    Silent Hill
    One of the most successfully unnerving elements is the game's lighting... It was that effect, much more than any fearsome creature, which made me leave a hall light on one night after playing it.

    NHL 07
    NHL 07's thrilling new skill stick makes up for its bare-bones package.

    NBA Live 2003
    Focuses on the up-tempo aspects of the sport of basketball as opposed to the half-court set, and the result is plenty of fast breaks, quick passes, and few shot clock violations.

    • 82 Critic Score
    The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
    Sure, it isn't the deepest, longest, or most technically proficient game out there, but fans of the comic book are sure to have a blast smashing their way through every destructible obstacle the game throws at them.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Star Trek Bridge Commander
    Despite its short length and a few other problems, Star Trek Bridge Commander is an innovative, entertaining simulation.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    NCAA Football 2005
    The Xbox version in particular is also plagued by some noticeable technical problems. All in all, NCAA Football 2005 is still a great college football game, but longtime fans will have trouble shaking the feeling that the series isn't quite living up to its awesome potential.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Hitman: Blood Money
    Though very similar to the last two games in the series, the open-ended stealth action gameplay offered by Hitman: Blood Money is still just about as tensely exciting as ever. A few new twists to the formula, an intriguing story, and a memorably diverse, cinematic sequence of missions further make Blood Money worth it.
