    Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel
    The length of the game means you’ll beat it in a week if you really sit down with it and commit a few hours a day, but you’ll be feeling deja-vu the entire time you play. Isn’t this enemy near the end of the game just like one I fought way back at the beginning only a different color? Why yes, yes he is.

    The Punisher
    It has tons of non-stop action and a badass character that you can really get behind. It’s just that the repetitive nature of the game really stops this from becoming a true classic.

    The Getaway: Black Monday
    Plagued by the exact same issues that hampered its predecessor. There's a huge difference though, it’s the year 2005 now and people expect more out of their videogames.

    Resident Evil 4
    An area that kind of let me down was the audio; it features support for Dolby Pro Logic II decoders but it doesn't take full advantage of the hardware. Yes, there's mulit-channel support and the sound does come at you from all sides, but it's not done all that well.

    Hearts of Iron II
    A solid, well polished WWII strategy title using the venerable Europa Universalis engine. It’s deep, it’s complex, and just a bit overwhelming.

    MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
    If you're big into the series then you'll probably want to pick this one up, as it's going to provide you more of the same fun with some new features that you're sure to love.

    NFL Street 2
    The sound track for the game is excellent and EA has done a great job of putting together a very listenable collection of music.
    • 56 Metascore

    D-Day
    I think this game will appear to WWII or history buffs, real-time strategy fans, and anyone with a strong patriotic streak.

    Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
    Yes, you're essentially playing through the events of Kingdom Hearts in portable form, but there's enough content here to make the experience seem new and fresh again.

    Torrente
    As a low-budget title, it lacks pretty much everything including: multiplayer or online play, extendability, quality cut scenes or voice acting, and plot.

    Painkiller: Battle out of Hell
    A near perfect expansion pack. It gives gamers more levels, more bad guys, and more multiplayer content. What else can you ask for in an expansion pack? Not much.

    Fritz 8 Deluxe
    To those who are just beginning, and in need of a strong tutorial, I recommend "Chessmaster." But for the advanced player, Fritz 8 Deluxeis far superior. Fritz contains stronger engines and a deeper database. For those students learning opening books, or looking for move analysis, it is ideal.

    Armies of Exigo
    Seems to take too much from too many other real-time strategy games, and fails to capitalize and to create its own niche.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Blitzkrieg: Rolling Thunder
    Fans of the Blitzkrieg series will probably be pleased. There is a great deal of challenging RTS gameplay, and the WWII flavor is quite strong. Still, the more casual RTS gamer probably won’t be able to overlook the frustrating control and less-than-stellar AI.

    World of Warcraft
    And best of all, in this time of graphical resource-hogging, you don’t need a machine built by God to enjoy it.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Alien Hominid
    A game by people that really know a thing or two about making a memorable experience, and some of the extra features will have you coming back well into the new year (especially if you have friends).
    • 85 Metascore

    Super Mario 64 DS
    If you can overlook some control issues you’ll find quite a lot of game play that will have you going for months to come.

    • 92 Critic Score
    Half-Life 2
    A crowning achievement for Valve and one game that I thoroughly enjoyed. A few problems do exist such as the crashing and minor engine quirks. All in all, a wonderful PC game and one that fans of the original will love.

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
    To put it bluntly, the game is also riddled with bugs.
    • 76 Metascore

    Call of Duty: Finest Hour
    There are some problems with the mission structure, but the intense action and addictive online more than make up for the inane tank missions.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Feel the Magic: XY/XX
    Sonic Team’s nutty sense of style and humor saturates every last inch of this game, and the unconventional appeal and concept will attract gamers and non-gamers alike.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Spider-Man 2
    This is a gaming thoroughbred that will demand you feed it over the holiday season. If your first priority this week is the DS, make your second one a copy of Spider-Man 2. It’s the game that will show your friends what the hardware truly can do.

    Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
    A beautifully crafted RPG that provides the boost that the GameCube so desperately needed.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Galactic Civilizations: Altarian Prophecy
    Until the sequel arrives, however, we now have even more GalCiv goodness, adding more addictiveness and content to an already insanely addictive game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Zoo Tycoon 2
    The only place I felt the game could really be improved outside of more realistic graphics was the control for the overhead view didn’t allow for very accurate rotation. If I wanted to see my zoo from a specific angle, it often took about a minute of adjusting the rotation.

    Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
    It’s one of the best children-oriented titles to arrive in years.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Jak 3
    With Jak 3 everything seems so passé and normal again, as if the well had run dry and the developers had lost their passion for the franchise.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Urbz: Sims in the City
    The series was solid to begin with and it seems that the developers tinkered with a formula that didn’t need to be changed.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    EyeToy: AntiGrav
    An amazing piece of technology that shows off what the Eye Toy is capable of. It’s the first Eye Toy specific game with mainstream appeal and one that is accessible to gamers of all types.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gretzky NHL 2005
    When you get past the poor AI, the messy controls and the poor recreation of the sport, you have the foundation for a very decent hockey game.
