Hands down the best overall simulation of real-world business economy around.

Definitely not a game for everyone. But for those of us who enjoy a good, solid adventure of the more morbid variety, SGOTS is definitely not a bad choice at all.

A staple of Duke 3D was the game's humor, and it often made references to other games or movies. Manhattan Project does well continuing this tradition.

Underneath all of that polish, at its heart this is the same basic game we've been playing for years -- you'll either love it or hate it for that very reason.

Better than the original in every way. It even manages to trump the GameCube triumph, "Rogue Leader," in at least one key way as well -- it has a cooperative play mode.

May not be as flashy graphically as "Live 2002," nor as polished technically as "NBA2k2," but it stands a solid middle ground between the two as an enjoyable game.

An uncommonly beautiful and unique shooting game.

Any fighting game has progressively harder enemies, but the bad guys in this game beat you as much with their intelligence as they do with their attacks.

If you want something casual and wild, go for a different game, but if you want a simulation, a challenging one at that, Konami's got you covered.

A well-rounded, deep, and diverse title. The graphics and sound in the GameCube version surpass those found on the PS2.

A great game. Sure, it's a wee bit difficult, and pirates aside, the game offers little that is different from its predecessor, but for series aficionados, or those looking to become series aficionados, this is a solid piece of work.

Despite a few frame rate hitches, and a control scheme that takes a little getting used to, Deus Ex is a very playable, extremely entertaining game.

A great expansion that keeps the flavor of the original, while adding new gameplay changes that remove much of the original's micro-management.

The greatest adaptation of this battle. It offers a different style of gaming than La Grande Armee, but the bottom line is that this title probably has the broadest appeal.

If you can look past the graphics, the gameplay alone makes this game worth owning.

A top-notch effort from start to finish.

Although the single player game has a few too many potential dead ends, the accessible gameplay and multiplayer support for up to four people means it's a surefire crowd pleaser.

A game which does everything right. Gameplay, graphics, realism, mood, and extendibility through the included fully-featured mission editor.

Once the initial learning curve was surpassed, things became much easier, making it fun to just sit back and enjoy Evil Islands' gameplay.

Chinese chess on steroids.

While T2E is essentially more of the same, and doesn't quite have the same "wow" factor of the original, the improved engine and netcode make it a much more solid game.

This Worms game is aptly named: it's a blast!

The ability to download current rosters and save games at any point more than offsets the less-than-stellar graphics and sometimes challenging hitting.

Even with its niggling control issues, Otogi is a beautiful and entertaining action romp.

With Mutation kicking up the story and gameplay a much-needed notch I became totally addicted to this game. The addition of a sprinkling of some truly excellent boss battles throughout the game helped a bunch, too.

It's bigger and better in almost every way. If you're looking for a blood and guts 3rd Edition role-playing game, Icewind Dale II fits the bill perfectly.

While not quite perfect, it's one of the most worthwhile Mega Man platformers in years, as it shakes the boat in a bunch of cool ways.

The only complaint I have about EvS is that your health, armor, and arsenal don't carry over into the next mission.
