    Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3
    Offers a unique racing format and getting to keep track of your defeated rivals definitely adds an addictive "gotta catch 'em all" quality to the thing. The negatives -- questionable driving physics and some less than state-of-the-art graphics -- are easily outweighed by all the game has going for it.

    Missing: Since January
    The puzzles kept me intrigued for days, the storyline was irresistible, and the e-mails and Internet research were a joy. Sadly, the ending left me cold and put a damper on the whole story, and some of the puzzles were so annoying they ceased being fun long before they were complete.

    Freedom Fighters
    The qualifications -- short length, lack of replay value, and control issues -- knock the game down value-wise, even though I think anyone who's attracted to quick, violent squad play will have a good time.

    kill.switch
    There's no multiplayer, no online play, and only a couple of difficulty modes. But it does its work extremely well, and it's safe to say you won't play a similar game this year.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space
    Perhaps the biggest draw for Gundam fans is the mode in which you create your own pilot and build up his or her stats in one-player missions, then fight other Gundam geeks in the two-player mode.

    Myth III: The Wolf Age
    If you can play it, focus your efforts on the campaign -- it's fun, and for the most part works as advertised. Hopefully, by the time you are finished with Connacht's tale, a patch to fix the many multiplayer issues will be ready.

    Silent Scope Complete
    An entertaining collection of shooters, but it's kind of funny and kind of sad that it doesn't play to perfection with its namesake peripheral.

    MTX Mototrax
    This game definitely is ambitious. Unfortunately, I would've traded things like the track creator and rider customization for tighter gameplay. Mototrax gets an A for effort, but about a B- in execution.

    Midway Arcade Treasures
    My disappointment in this disc's shortcomings is tempered by the sheer amount of great, classic gaming on offer.

    Blitzkrieg: Burning Horizon
    The Blitzkrieg series has some good points, but what historical RTS fans are waiting for is a game with Blitkrieg's graphics, "Airborne Assault's" A.I., and "War Times'" 3D terrain.

    Pool Paradise
    Pool Paradise may look like a homebrew video game, feature the most colossal collection of lame characters to interact with since "Tao Feng," but the bones of this game are strong and solid. This plays an exceptional, nay incredible game of pool.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds
    Drives a stake through the heart most license-based games, but it still falls short of being a top-shelf title due to some sluggish controls and framerate trouble.

    MVP Baseball 2004
    If you can live without walks and the lack of steals and you don't care about Dynasty mode then MVP 2004 is a surefire winner.

    Kya: Dark Lineage
    Despite a lack of polish and the ineptly presented storyline, Kya: Dark Lineage had enough fresh ideas and fun scenarios to keep me pluggin' through to the end. It's not the prettiest game out there, nor the longest, or the coolest. It is, however, fun and original.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
    It's somewhat short (maybe five hours per character) and isn't the best action game you'll ever play, but it is the best action game based on "The Lord of the Rings."

    Dynasty Warriors 4
    The game's 3D engine, already showing its age on the PS2, is barely passable on the Xbox; the fogged-in horizon and massive slowdown seizures are particularly cringe-worthy.

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Being able to explore Hogwart's as not one, but all three of your favorite characters is, as Ron would put it, brilliant. Older gamers will find little challenge in the game's simplistic block puzzles.

    ESPN Major League Baseball
    Another innovation with questionable value is the onscreen confidence meter. A cool idea to make the game seem more realistic, it just doesn't seem to work all that well.

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
    A game with simplistic fighting and a tedious unlocking system, but it's a polished and faithful presentation of Dragon Ball Z with a fair amount of content.

    Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage
    The library of mini-games alone makes the game a must have for anyone looking for hours of mindless fun. Add to that all of the cool extras unlocked when linked with a copy of Spyro Orange, and you end up with an awesome cross-franchise certain to leave you craving more.

    Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction
    The biggest flaws with AvP: Extinction are the lack of a rotating camera, the unit micromanagement required, and the fact that there are only 21 missions in the game with no multiplayer at all... I wasn't disappointed with the game, and I don't think fans of AvP would be either.

    The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring
    While WotR is a good title that offers a lot of fun, it simply doesn't offer a game that's new or interesting enough to raise it from the pack of similar RTS titles available.
    • 81 Metascore

    Def Jam Vendetta
    Even with all its flaws, Def Jam Vendetta is the best wrestling game currently on the market.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde
    A very good RTS, and anyone who complains that it lacks the depth of a PC RTS is entirely missing the point.

    CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Dark Motives
    For fans of the series who want to test their sleuthing, Dark Motives is a no-brainer. On the flip side, anyone not connected to the idiosyncrasies of the series should look for crime elsewhere.

    AirForce Delta Strike
    It's not nearly as good as "Ace Combat 4," but it's enjoyable enough to tide you over until the next Ace Combat game.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
    While it's got a few problems, particularly with the load times, frequent checkpoints, and lack of multiplayer options, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow is still a good game.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Contract J.A.C.K.
    NOLF fans will likely find it lacking most of the series' charm, and as an action title, it feels strangely unpolished, falling victim to any number of basic problems.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Medal of Honor Infiltrator
    The action is intense and the missions are just enough extra. Give me a little smarter targeting, some NPC allies every now and then, a little less stealth, and I may be willing to award this game's sequel with a medal of its own.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Armed and Dangerous
    Oddball comedy and action galore -- sadly, it's the same simple action over and over.
