    Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
    I do feel that $40 is a little steep for a stand-alone expansion after developer Ironclad's Vancouver, British Columbia neighbor Relic has spent years training me to expect a $30 price for its content-rich Company of Heroes and Dawn of War 2 expansions. But on the other hand, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is an outstanding and unique real-time strategy game that offers a welcome, slower alternative to StarCraft 2's intense pacing. As a life-long fan of sci-fi space battles, I simply can't help but strongly recommend it.

    Warlords Battlecry II
    It's part turn-based strategy, part role-playing, and part action-oriented real-time strategy wrapped up inside a highly playable design. And best of all -- it's a lot of fun to play.

    Ring of Red
    With many new elements to the strategy genre, RoR will be loved by many, while others accustomed to usual strategy gameplay will grow into it.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Desert Siege
    The desert settings are a great addition to the game integrating that all important immersive feeling of actually "being there."

    Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic
    Provides a lot of bang for your buck; it's loaded with additional features, tweaks, and is simply a more balanced game from top to bottom.

    ATV Offroad Fury 2
    Doesn't change much of the [original's] formula, or the graphics, or anything really, but it does offer online play, some different courses, and some fun multiplayer party games.

    Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
    The best old-school adventure gaming to hit the scene in years.

    SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs
    An adequate introduction to online gaming for console players, but it’s definitely not the killer app Sony wanted the world to believe it was; it’s just a slightly above-average first/third-person shooter with an online component.

    Mega Man Zero
    Despite such minor setbacks, the overwhelming characteristic of the game is high-speed action of the fun (and generally not too frustrating) variety.

    Darksiders
    Sure, it's more than a little familiar at times -- and on more than one occasion I said, "I remember that from game X," -- but Darksiders is proof that what's old can truly be made new again.

    Need for Speed: Underground
    It lacks some major features you'd expect, but this arcade racer still offers an immersive career mode, a beautiful presentation, and an insane sense of speed.

    TrackMania Sunrise
    If you want outrageous arcade racing action, along with the chance to solve some puzzles and get creative, TrackMania Sunrise is a safe bet for your gaming dollar.

    Ape Escape 2
    A wonderful platformer with a fresh gameplay mechanic and a great sense of humor.

    • 74 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
    With its serviceable single-player game and a gem like the new Defend mode, Island Thunder is a tidy little bonus juuuust worth the price.

    SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs
    If you're wondering if it's worth picking up, consider yourself warned if you're a newcomer -- it's a tough nut to crack. If you've been a long-time fan, close this browser window and head to the store.

    Gladius
    It's a must-buy for anyone with even the slightest interest in the genre, presuming they can handle the lack of super-deformed character design.

    NCAA College Basketball 2K3
    With a great balance of realism and playability, NCAA Basketball 2K3 shines as a beacon for collegiate hoops fans.

    X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
    While both the PS2 and Xbox versions do let you hook up with faraway X-Fans, the portability of the Cube console (compared to Microsoft's gargantuan console) and the ease of connecting up to four controllers (no need for a Multi-Tap) makes this the choice for the moveable co-op bash.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
    Multiplayer combat is quick and brutal, but straightforward and really nothing to get too excited about. It's really the single-player mode that shines here.

    Okamiden
    Okami fans will be spellbound with nostalgia while finding plenty new to enjoy, and fans of Zelda-esque adventures will be hard pressed to find another portable game so engaging in the twilight of Nintendo's soon-to-be replaced Nintendo DS hardware.

    Space Invaders Extreme 2
    It's still a fantastic update to an arcade classic, and it's hard to argue with its low $20 price tag -- if you happened to miss the first installment, don't make the same mistake twice.

    Condemned 2: Bloodshot
    It's pretty irritating to play a sequel and face so many of the issues of the original, but Bloodshot's ability to take you into the terrifying world Monolith has crafted is astonishing.
    • 82 Metascore

    Hitman: Blood Money
    The game features enough choices and entertaining kills to have you playing some missions more than once, striving for that elusive Silent Assassin rating.

    Brutal Legend
    Despite all the references to this beloved material, I also felt satisfied as a gamer, challenged by its unique blend of exploration, action and strategy. While I was prepared for a thoroughly entertaining storyline, and was delivered one, I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun it was to wage war in and explore this lovingly-crafted world.

    Tomb Raider: Legend
    It took me just under 8 hours to complete 90% of the game, and it's not a terrible stretch to imagine someone rushing through it in 5 or 6. It's a good sign for a game when players want more, and it's further proof that the Tomb Raider series is back in a big way.

    X-Men Legends
    The thing that immediately struck me when playing the game was the amazing amount of minutiae that's been included for eagle-eyed fans.

    Airborne Assault: Red Devils Over Arnhem
    A top-notch effort, Airborne Assault is not only detailed, realistic, challenging, and fun, but innovative to boot.

    • 89 Critic Score
    Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel
    The best game of its kind available today. Anything coming after it has a lot to live up to.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Tekken Advance
    Easily one of the most technically impressive GBA games out there, and probably the best portable fighter as well.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Sega GT 2002
    "Rallisport Challenge" is much more specialized, and, arguably, better executed, but Sega GT 2002's experience is much more comprehensive.
