    Half-Life 2, simply put, is a complete masterpiece; once again, the definition of what gaming is all about. Shame on you if you haven’t already played it. Loser.

    Everything – absolutely everything - works better in this game than in any RE title before. The end result is a game that is a total blast to play through.

    As far as actual content goes, I don’t think there’s been a game in history with more, so you almost need to own this game just so you can see how packed a game can be.

    Halo 2 is an amazing game. The negatives are by far overshadowed by the positives.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    The only thing I need to say about the graphics is that they're perfect. Character models, vehicles, environments, weather, it's all spectacular but not overwhelming to the point of distraction.

    Rather than a reiteration of the customs, concepts and capabilities we’ve become familiar with in RPGs, Oblivion is something wholly new and entertaining that advances what freedom can feel like in a video game.

    An absolute must-buy for anyone into Greek mythology or who enjoys the action/adventure genre. It’s beautiful, plays smoothly, is absolutely epic, and will please anyone with a taste for a dark atmosphere.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    The graphics, sound, and gameplay all set benchmarks that other developers will attempt to surpass.

    If you already own another version, you’d be silly to purchase it again, but if you don’t have any copy of the game yet, you should only opt for a console version if you want to play in the living room with some friends watching. Otherwise, grab the PC version for the best experience.

    It has a lot of what FF fans have come to expect – high quality presentation, a grand adventure, a likeable cast, and lots of fighting. But, it also has a lot changes to which not everyone may warm up – gambits, revamped battle system, and a different way of storytelling.

    Is it the best RPG on the PS2? You bet.

    While not as earth-shattering as the original, no fan of rhythm games should be without Guitar Hero 2.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    There is no other way to describe Guitar Hero other than it’s a fantastic game that’s a blast to play.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Shadow of the Colossus is a spectacular game for the PlayStation 2 with splendid visuals, a great artistic atmosphere, a unique horse mechanic, and magnificent, towering colossi – but it’s limited by the power of an aging system.

    Who knew having this much control over a little virtual family would be so fun, but there’s something undeniably charming about the sims that will keep you glued to your PC for weeks, wanting to buy that one last toy for the recreation room or add one more addition to your house.

    The first must-have game of the next-generation.

    It's the same tried and tested gameplay with some cool new cars and levels, and a few new features that may or may not be your cup of tea.

    Just an extremely enjoyable, beautiful, nostalgic, and engaging RPG for the PlayStation 2. This charming, atmospheric RPG is not to be missed.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    There's incredible depth, high production values, and a story that starts out rather generic, but turns into a flat-out epic.

    • 97 Critic Score
    They’ve gone above and beyond my expectations of any FPS game.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Despite the fact that it plays just like its previous incarnations, the ballooned number of cars and the sheer amount of things to do easily makes this version the best of the bunch.

    It’s got deep single-player options, multiplayer wireless capabilities, and a number of skins to unlock and earn. This is the perfect “on-the-go” puzzler and anyone with a PSP and even just a passing interest in puzzle games ought to gives this wonderfully addictive game a chance.

    Not only does it have everything that all of the other first person shooter games have had, but it also has a feature that adds just enough strategy to the game that separates it from the rest.

    I was stunned by how well made this game was. Stories certainly is a wonderful achievement for the PSP, but it does have a few drawbacks with the slowdown, camera issues, battery and a lack of online play, but you still can’t be that disappointed as this is the best game on the PSP.

    • 94 Critic Score
    The graphics are amazing (mind you, even on a mediocre system), the sound is amazing (if you don’t have a 5.1 system yet, consider it), and the game is downright scary.

    • 85 Critic Score
    This could be the best Syphon Filter game, if not the best action game so far for the PSP. The depth is something out of a console game, but it’s tailored to the tiniest stitch to work best on a handheld – and it does.

    Despite its obvious flaws, Kingdom Hearts II is a great game – just not as great as its predecessor, and not the best RPG we’ve ever seen.
    • 86 Metascore

    Burnout Legends is the best racer available for the PSP and may be one of the top five best games for Sony's handheld.
