    Lufia: The Ruins of Lore
    An also-ran that's too similar to, but not as good as, the top games on the platform.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Star Wars Starfighter: Special Edition
    Despite its lack or originality and ultimately disappointing graphics, Star Wars Starfighter: Special Edition remains a decent, but far from great game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    BloodRayne
    Despite some nice features, the overly repetitive gameplay will probably wear thin after a bit.

    MX Superfly
    A well-rounded, deep, and diverse title. The graphics and sound in the GameCube version surpass those found on the PS2.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tak: The Great Juju Challenge
    Its multiplayer co-op hook is also a nice hook for getting brothers and sisters or moms and dads involved as a sidekick for a little family game action. That's never a bad thing.

    Star Ocean: Second Evolution
    JRPG fans should really enjoy Star Ocean: Second Evolution. Sure, it sticks to the formula in ways we've seen many times before, but at the same time it also deviates in ways that make it more than just another RPG.

    Dear Esther
    Dear Esther, however, presents something truly different. It's an experiment to be sure -- and one that's not entirely successful -- but it hits far more often than it misses. It's a strong start to a new breed of adventure that asks players to think instead of clicking on items until something arbitrarily happens.

    Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse
    As short as it is, Stubbs is an instant classic and should appeal to any gamer with even a slightly morbid sense of humor. It's the perfect Halloween rental.

    The Godfather
    While it features an innovative, easy-to-use melee combat system and some interesting campaigns, it's ultimately hurt by boringly repetitive side missions and some underwhelming environments.

    Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
    This DLC doesn't bring the much-anticipated level cap increase (Gearbox says that's on the way soon), but otherwise, this is the adventure that Borderlands 2 veterans have been waiting for. Go on the Big Game Hunt for the continued story, but stay in Aegrus for the challenge.

    Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers
    As intriguing and well-crafted as the adventure is, Tiny & Big peters out on a flat note that leaves me wanting more.

    Puzzle Quest: Galactrix
    Like peanut butter and chocolate, the combination of classic puzzle gameplay and RPG game mechanics results in something greater than the sum of its parts.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
    The next Dragon Quest Monsters installment on DS will probably be even better, but in the meantime players can enjoy this fun and innovative experience that is more than just another Pokemon game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
    Fast-paced action and a great presentation are hampered only by the steep learning curve for what should be a simple point-and-shoot experience.
    • 75 Metascore

    Yakuza
    The game has its weak points, and there's nothing strikingly original about the gameplay, but it's definitely an interesting experience for action gamers looking for a unique atmosphere and story.

    Space Colony (2003)
    While it would have been nice to have a better way to organize workers' shift schedules, customizable characters, a richer combat system, and a multiplayer module, there's more than enough interesting things to do to keep you busy.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Tropico 2: Pirate Cove
    The kind of great sequel that should be encouraged - it builds on the solid base of the original, cleans up most of the problems and manages to stake out its own territory in the process.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2
    There's too much of an emphasis on fetching items rather than performing tricks and getting rewarded for doing them well.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tak: The Great Juju Challenge
    Its multiplayer co-op hook is also a nice hook for getting brothers and sisters or moms and dads involved as a sidekick for a little family game action. That's never a bad thing.

    NHL 2005
    The new Open Ice mechanics allow for smoother, wide-open play than previous versions, and the Dynasty Mode is as deep and realistic as any I've ever seen.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Top Spin 2
    A decent sequel to the first game that is ultimately mired by an intolerably imbalanced career mode.

    Nanostray 2
    If you enjoy this type of game, you won't find a much better example of it in the portable world.

    Command & Conquer: Renegade
    It's not "Medal of Honor," but if you can get past the first-generation engine and various technical and design glitches, there's still a good deal of fun to be had.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Carol Vorderman's Sudoku
    It's the kind of application that can instantly turn a mother or girlfriend into an addicted gamer, but it's definitely lacking in "party" features.

    Activision Hits Remixed
    Exactly what a retro games compilation should be: a celebration of gaming's roots that puts an era in context and preserves it for future generations. And at a mere twenty bucks MSRP, you're virtually guaranteed to get your money's worth.

    The Lord of the Rings, The Third Age
    For most of the game I felt like I was too powerful and things never really felt challenging. Again, I'm thinking that this is partly by design since the game has a mainstream license and will attract many casual gamers.

    Mega Man X Collection
    It's a shame that there aren't as many games on this compilation as there were on the Anniversary Collection ("Mega Man Soccer" really should've been included), but you're still getting some fun games (expect, of course, "Mega Man X6").

    Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
    It doesn't fix the fundamental design issues that marred Empire at War, but all the fun new stuff it adds and the strategic wrinkles it introduces might make it worth the effort to get past them.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Battalion Wars 2
    Battalion Wars 2 boasts enjoyable storylines and presentation along with killer weapons and a dose of strategy. That gets a gold star in our book. Four, even.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Overlord II
    Unlike so many other sequels, Overlord II navigates the fine balance between completely reinventing the game and not adding enough features to make it feel like more than just a glorified expansion pack. Aside from the often-mediocre framerates and some painfully spaced checkpoints, I had a disturbing amount of fun terrorizing, killing, and/or enslaving all who stood in my way.
