    Double Helix doesn't do anything that hasn't already been done better in Activision's own Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

    If you've already played the Dreamcast version, these extras definitely aren't worth your money.

    An experience that is absolutely marred by several problems working in conjunction with each other. It's just not a very fun game to play.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Despite being a rough composite of a half dozen other first-person shooters without much personality of its own, Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter is still pretty good.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 43 Critic Score
    Every aspect of the game, from the combat mechanics to the movement to the technical execution of the graphics, is lacking in some regard, and when you add these elements together, you get a game that's simply unpleasant to play.

    Ultimately, Shadows of Undrentide isn't the most epic or memorable RPG with BioWare's name on it, but it has plenty of good, new content to satisfy most any Neverwinter Nights fan.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The frustrating controls ruin what could have otherwise been a standout conversion of one of the Dreamcast's more unique games.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The game's primary goal is to distill roughly 38 hours of TV episodes into 15 or 20 hours of hands-on gameplay, and it succeeds at doing so.

    Despite being a rough composite of a half dozen other first-person shooters without much personality of its own, Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter is still pretty good.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Players looking for a terrific online racing game won't be disappointed.

    Whether or not you'll take to A Fistful of Boomstick will hinge primarily on your appreciation of Bruce Campbell's speaking voice and your love of cheesy one-liners.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    A potentially fun, but ultimately frustrating, entry in the series, and fans of the Battle Network universe would be much better off sticking with their GBAs.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Even the most experienced gamers will find a serious, rewarding challenge in the game's highest difficulty mode, yet the well-rounded design of Hitman 2 means just about anyone with a taste for the subject matter, or just a stomach for it, will really like the game and its distinctively cinematic style.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Balanced well for casual players who don't want to make large time commitments to the game, yet it's this same balance that ultimately keeps the game from being truly compelling at this point in time.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The game's arcade elements aren't done well enough to ever balance with the simulation elements, and the end result is a game that's too wacky to be a sim game and too simulation-based to be an arcade game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    On its own merits, this expansion is a reasonably good deal, but it's best suited for the hard-core Disciples II fan who wishes to play every single official scenario for the game.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    The best option for console gamers looking for some online puzzle action.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The game's real goals aren't exciting enough to carry the game, so once you've unlocked enough levels to be satisfied and gotten the hang of the controls, there really isn't a whole lot more to see. Fans of the genre will be left wanting more.

    It mimics "Serious Sam," but without any apparent understanding of the subtle particulars that made Sam more than just another generic shooter.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The major aspect that sets Donkey Kong Country apart from similar games is the amount of variety present in each level.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The characters and their moves are positively hilarious, and the combat system is complex enough to allow two human players to play match after match without growing bored.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sim-based gameplay mechanics are nowhere to be found in the game and have been replaced by a blistering pace and frenzied style of action that make for a crazy, yet enjoyable, gameplay experience.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Even though you may find moments of frustration with the game's missions and its challenging economic model, digging deep into Port Royale provides a varied and open-ended experience--along with the simple satisfaction of playing as a pirate.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A triumph on the Game Boy Advance, but it's not without its flaws. Given a bit more time to tweak the controls and further polish the graphics, Destination Software could have had a groundbreaking work on its hands.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The main storyline is involving, and the arctic setting provides a fresh addition to the lore of the series.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It may not be as visually stunning or control as well as some other racers, but the game does a little bit of everything and does it all well.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Takes the familiar characters and graphics from three of Sega's most cherished franchises and uses them to create an especially satisfying pinball game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A pretty lightweight tennis simulation, though it's clearly on the right track and is much more enjoyable than last year's game.
