    Mega Man Zero 3
    Between the Armor Chips, Cyber Elves, and EX Skills, there are tons of ways to customize Zero to best fit your fighting style and to get past the ample challenges along your adventure. This is what makes Zero 3 so great. It takes the well thought out level design and spot-on control from the old school Mega Man games and adds more dept thanks to all these new abilities.

    Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
    While it has the series' trademark snappy dialogue, sultry vixens, and more double entendres than a classic Rodney Dangerfield routine, it's missing one thing: the fun. The mini-games dragged after only a few hours, and getting through the game felt like a chore.

    Robotech: Invasion
    A decent enough shooter that just doesn't do enough to stand out in the Xbox's crowded FPS market.

    Mortal Kombat: Deception
    Despite how oddly compelling I found many of the diversions found herein, I couldn't get too into this game's dated fighting mechanic.

    Tony Hawk's Underground 2
    The best skating game ever made, and while it isn't nearly as groundbreaking as the previous game, it takes everything that made it great and adds some new tricks and a dash of juvenile potty humor, leaving you with the best time you'll have at a skate park this year.

    Tony Hawk's Underground 2
    The resulting package is so good that not even the nightmarish presence of Bam Margera and his merry band of sociopathic masochists can bring it down.

    Mario Pinball Land
    It's just a shame that the gameplay flaws (seriously, why can't you tilt?) drag the entire package down so far. Maybe next time, Nintendo should just toss a few Koopa Troopas and Goombas into the "Pokémon Pinball" template.

    Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure
    Unfortunately, desktop crashes, the need for money and carrots, some annoying sound effects, and a few frustrating puzzles mar what could have been one of the better adventure games to come out in years.

    Shade: Wrath of Angels
    Lack of inspiration and sloppiness are the hallmarks of Shade: Wrath of Angels. Clunky controls, tedious combat, frustrating difficulty, a forgettable hero, a lame story, silly dialogue, monotonous levels, typos, and bugs all add up to a big mess.

    Codename: Panzers, Phase One
    The interface is especially straightforward and the game is simple to play yet provides a breath of order and commands for your units.

    ESPN NBA 2K5
    While EA's series definitely has its strong points, ESPN NBA 2K5 has better graphics, AI, and that highly addictive 24-7 mode.

    Evil Genius
    A remarkably fun and addictive game that, while not without its flaws, is brimming with enough charm, good humor, and depth to keep gamers occupied for a long time. The bad news is the game has a problem with relaying information to the player that is, at best, annoying, and in one case, almost brings the entire product crashing down.

    Crusader Kings
    One of the problems is a lack of meaningful interaction with the rest of the world.

    Rocky: Legends
    While it may not be the best boxing game on the market, it's definitely a huge improvement over the original. Rocky Legends does an excellent job of making the player feel like a part of the Rocky universe.

    Sherlock Holmes: The Silver Earring
    The game manual claims to provide 25-30 hours of gameplay, but in truth it will likely take you only half of that.

    NBA Live 2005
    A deep Dynasty Mode and some cool new gameplay additions ensure that you'll be playing the game for months to come, and while we can't say yet if the game will be able to gain ground on its biggest rival, we can say this: NBA Live 2005 is the best EA Sports basketball game ever.

    Disney's Aladdin
    Ultimately, the only notable improvements to this game over the SNES version are the inclusion of a new save feature (as opposed to the cruddy password system of the original), and the inclusion of an extra level (which serves to extend the shelf-life of this game to roughly one full afternoon).

    SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom
    There's an embarrassment of riches in the genre on Xbox, so why embarrass yourself with this?

    Colin McRae Rally 2005
    Even with its somewhat anemic multiplayer, Colin McRae Rally 2005 is one of the best rally games on the market. Anyone who enjoys the idea of frantic racing in harsh conditions owes it to themselves to check it out.

    The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee
    With all the focus developers put into the presentation of the story, it seems like they forgot to tighten up the actual gameplay element. The end result is a great game for Dukes fans, but nothing more than a mediocre racing title for the rest of us.

    Shadow Hearts: Covenant
    It's a nifty twist on the traditional RPG in both its battle engine and the offbeat nuances of its plot. The pacing could have been a touch faster, but it's a small gripe in the grand scheme of things.

    Donkey Konga
    It's the fact that Nintendo continues using Rare's horrible Donkey Kong character designs. I mean, seriously. This is a great game; why am I being forced to look at Diddy Kong while I play it? Or frickin' King K. Rool?! Awful.

    Rome: Total War
    A stunning title... Sure, it might be a little complex for the casual gamer, and it might be a little rough in places, but Rome is as deep and as satisfying as they come.

    Kohan II: Kings of War
    Elegantly designed, challenging, beautiful, and one of the best games released this year.
