    Mario Pinball Land
    To make matters worse, if the ball falls down between the flippers players are often forced to start from scratch and many times replay the stage that they previously completed to get back to where they just were. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

    Mortal Kombat: Deception
    This is the definitive Mortal Kombat title. You have more fatalities, self-fatalities (hara-kiri), stage fatalities, more characters, four deep modes of play, unlockable Krypt items, and online play.

    Tony Hawk's Underground 2
    While the console versions of Tony Hawk's Underground 2 may be a better game than the original Underground, you can't help but feel that the game is something you've already played before.

    ESPN NBA 2K5
    With top-notch graphics and a mostly solid game of basketball that rewards practice and knowledge, ESPN NBA 2k5 is loads of fun.

    Crusader Kings
    Game play is not much more than a mere point and click adventure, but it is your brain that will serves as the game’s biggest asset.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Crash Twinsanity
    It doesn't do anything we've never seen before, but what it does do is usually done well.
    • 84 Metascore

    NBA Live 2005
    While some gamers will be turned off by the lack of total simulation, they still may be intrigued by the extras EA threw in for good measure such as the deep dynasty, slam-dunk contest, and three-point shootout.

    Disney's Aladdin
    Aladdin isn't breaking any new video game ground, but it's a fun, colorful experience, even though it's several years old.

    SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom
    I'll put it right out there. You'd have to be a huge fan of SNK and Capcom fighting games, or completely new to the genre to be interested in this latest entry.

    Shadow Hearts: Covenant
    It's really a no-brainer for RPG fans even with the genre being so crowded this season. Personally, I put Shadow Hearts Covenant in my top three RPGs this generation.

    Donkey Konga
    The only thing that could be improved on for the sequel would be more songs and even more variety.

    Rome: Total War
    Many games are excellent world-builders, and many are deep real time strategy war games. Rome: Total War sets out to be both and pulls it off wonderfully.

    Kohan II: Kings of War
    Fares poorly compared to other genre offerings, and I’d be hard-pressed to recommend it.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Headhunter: Redemption
    The PlayStation 2 version of Redemption also suffers from some technical flaws, such as occasionally visible polygon seams and constant, noisy disc access.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dance Dance Revolution Extreme
    This version isn’t revolutionary enough that it will recruit fans who didn’t like it the first few times, but fans of the series will eat this up and gladly shell out the bucks for what Konami has to offer in this go round.

    Monster Hunter
    A USB keyboard plugged into your PS2 is the only way to communicate online. This makes getting a group together and executing all but the very simplest of missions a ponderous exercise.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends
    What probably makes this game so interesting as an action game though is the ability to play up to four players cooperatively. Even better is how seamless they make this experience.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Katamari Damacy
    The only real hamper on Katamari Damacy’s greatness is the length of the title. Even with a two-player option, the game is far too short and is over before you know it.

    Full Spectrum Warrior
    More a glimpse into how a real Army fire team moves and engages enemy forces than it is a challenging real-time strategy game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Second Sight
    I personally like "Psi Ops" better as it was faster paced, had a more realistic look, and easier to control. Some gamers may like Second Sight for its open ended-ness and better-written dialog.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament
    With only eight stages, poor controls, and moderate visuals, its solid line up of 25 characters cannot save this game’s fate of falling below mediocrity.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Blood Will Tell
    I really liked certain parts of Blood but absolutely hated others.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Hearts of Iron: Platinum
    It is true that HOI is not for everyone, but fans of RTS, Risk, or just War aficionados, will appreciate the level of authenticity and freedom that this game has to offer.

    Headhunter: Redemption
    Fares no better than the sum of its mediocre parts. And while the effort put forth by developer Amuze can be considered admirable, it doesn't help the fact that Redemption ends up demanding the very thing its namesake promises.
    • 75 Metascore
