    The Bible Game
    Underneath the religious overtones is a mediocre party game that shouldn't get much play, even at a Catholic school retreat.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 21 Critic Score
    Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green
    Land of the Dead fails to deliver even the most garden-variety of zombie-killing thrills, due to its inept combat, awful visuals, and cripplingly stupid artificial intelligence.

    Shining Force Neo
    It's a long game whose simplistic but satisfying combat can be quite addictive, but mostly for meticulous players who don't get frustrated easily.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Crash Tag Team Racing
    The racing isn't exactly the star of the show, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a unique and mostly enjoyable experience.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Serious Sam II
    Serious Sam II has a lot of levels and a few good laughs, but its simple shooting action is less likely to get your adrenaline pumping as it is to make you go numb.

    Zatch Bell! Mamodo Battles
    This undemanding fighter may be good enough for anime fans, but the game is too simple for fighting fans and too self-referential for anyone else.

    Age of Empires III
    Those looking for a complex and interesting real-time strategy game with fantastic good looks and some historical flavor will find just what they want in Age of Empires III.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Shadow of the Colossus
    The game's fighting and pacing are in stark contrast to those of typical action games, but with a little patience and a taste for high-concept adventure, you'll find an experience here that's unlike any other.

    Jak X: Combat Racing
    A fun combat-racing game; the story will appeal to fans of the franchise, and there are a lot of cool secrets and unlockables. But there are some functional drawbacks--especially noticeable in the later levels--that prevent this game from being truly excellent.
    • 63 Metascore

    The Con
    The Con's fighting isn't strong enough on its own, but the betting concept is compelling enough to draw you in a little deeper than you might otherwise be drawn.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Sniper Elite
    It's not for those with short attention spans, but patient players who aren't squeamish should enjoy Sniper Elite's tense and methodically paced action.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Spyro: Shadow Legacy
    Spryo: Shadow Legacy is a watered-down action role-playing game that isn't challenging or engaging enough to sustain its brief campaign.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
    All of the problems that plagued the PlayStation 2 version of the original Brothers in Arms are front and center once again, making for a lackluster port of a great game.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
    It's impressive that Raven somehow managed to cram every little detail of the game onto a handheld, but aside from the portability, there isn't much new here. However, if you haven't played the game on consoles, you won't be sacrificing anything if you pick up the PSP version.

    Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
    While the gameplay in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland is still sharp, and the game still looks and sounds just fine, this seventh installment just seems to lack that special spark that made the series so much fun in the first place.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dig Dug: Digging Strike
    Takes the basic concepts of the original arcade game and adds a few gameplay elements that, ultimately, don't fit together all that well. The game plays well enough, but anyone accustomed to the simplicity of Dig Dug might turn their nose up at this one.

    World Poker Tour
    World Poker Tour is the best of the console poker bunch--though that isn't necessarily saying an awful lot.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi
    It has little in common with previous Budokai games, but there's still enough here to keep DBZ fans entertained.
    • 64 Metascore

    Tony Hawk's American Sk8land
    Sk8land looks slick and controls like a Tony Hawk game should, but its skate park designs are weak and its story mode missions lack creativity.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Sniper Elite
    It's not for those with short attention spans, but patient players who aren't squeamish should enjoy Sniper Elite's tense and methodically paced action.

    Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse
    Eating the brains of the living to form a massive army of the undead is extremely satisfying, often hilarious, and, unfortunately, almost painfully brief.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
    Even with a handful of new tricks, simply skating around and grinding out huge lines only goes so far, especially when the levels are set up to make doing so incredibly easy.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    World Poker Tour
    The addition of the WPT license has given the game a level of focus and direction that the developer's previous effort lacked.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd
    Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd captures the intensity and excitement of paintball, and in the end it's only limited by the confines of the sport itself.

    Fable: The Lost Chapters
    This updated version of Fable is better than the original, since it extends the game's main quest, but the world of Albion isn't necessarily worth revisiting if you've been there already.

    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.

    F.E.A.R.
    A shooter that captures the sensation of being in wild and desperate firefights like no other game before it, and it's an incredible, kinetic, almost exhausting experience from start to finish. More than that, though, is the fact that it's also one of the most atmospheric and creepy games ever made, as well as one of the most intense shooters that you'll play this year.
