    Trauma Center: Second Opinion
    Figuring out the pattern and applying a solution is an awesome feeling if everything is done correctly.

    NFL Street 3
    With its stylish visuals, some rocking sounds, and a solid control scheme to all compliment the frenzied gameplay, you should enjoy the core of the game.

    Pocket Racers
    If you like mediocrity and stupid storylines, this game is definitely for you.

    Eragon
    This formula one just has a few faults and nothing that successfully improves on that formula.

    The History Channel: Civil War - A Nation Divided
    The History Channel Civil War is a nice alternative to other World War II shooters, but you might want to rent it on a rainy weekend. It's a shame because The History Channel footage is really well integrated into the game.

    Eragon
    Eragon is about as devoid of passion and energy as any project I've ever born witness to and the very lack of soul robs it of any chance to become something more than a quickie tie-in for a half-ass movie.

    Medieval II: Total War
    The relation between the actual battle in real time mode, and managing an empire in turn based mode, is pure bliss.

    Dead or Alive Xtreme 2
    If you enjoyed the first game, you might enjoy the second game, although the minor differences between the two games make you wonder if Team Ninja could have done more to differentiate it from the first game.

    EverQuest II: Echoes of Faydwer
    The game is beautiful and fun, although there's definitely room for improvement.

    Viva Pinata
    It's obviously not for everyone, but you can't deny it's charm. This is definitely Rare's best release on any Microsoft platform, and it is a wonderful game to play.

    Gears of War
    There is one area where Gears of War does not shine – bugs. Four big ones affecting multiplayer are fairly widespread.

    Call of Duty 3
    It provides fantastic visuals that has few rivals on the PS2. The sound and music of the game are top notch. The realism and grittiness of the game pull you right in and completely immerse you in the battle.

    Call of Duty 3
    It carries with it some of the best aspects of "Call of Duty 2," and adds some new gameplay elements to the series. On the downside, it also brings with it some occasionally braindead AI, and is still a very linear game.

    Tony Hawk's Project 8
    The gameplay and controls are solid, and the Nail the Trick mode is a fantastic addition. If you haven’t selected a Next Generation system yet, you might be able to squeak by on this last title, but it is really time to retire the PS2 versions of this series.

    Tony Hawk's Project 8
    Neversoft has created the most realistic skate title ever made. The graphics, animation, sound, challenge system, and Live integration has created a game that will challenge the legendary "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2" for its crown as the king of the series.

    The Sopranos: Road to Respect
    For the sake of the people in our profession, please quality check titles before publishing them. If at any point in the testing you sense an urgency to find something sharp and jab yourself with it repeatedly then make a mental note that it’s the fault of a poor game.

    Guitar Hero II
    Exceeds the previous title in every way..."Guitar Hero" was a staple of the parties I throw at my house, but it looks like Guitar Hero II has stolen the crown!

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
    If you don't mind your fighting games on the simpler side you will find a lot to enjoy.

    Call of Duty 3
    Here's hoping that Infinity Ward's eventual return to the saga won't leave gamers with such a bland and lifeless taste in their mouths.

    Scurge: Hive
    Fans of this style of gameplay will be happy for weeks on end, and the wide dispersement of save spots make this game an easy pick up for 15 minutes and play game.

    Final Fantasy XII
    Once you start playing, FF12 has an addicting quality to it that will cause you to skip meals and lose sleep, constantly pressing forward towards the next save point.

    Neverwinter Nights 2
    The game that almost gets it right. Over time, and a bit more testing, I believe that the game will live up to its Bioware-powered predecessor.
    • 77 Metascore

    Killzone: Liberation
    While Killzone: Liberation isn’t mindblowing and has some flaws, it's a good action game for a game system on the go.

    ATV Offroad Fury 4
    Immense racing. You get 4 different vehicle types, over 70 tracks plus a track editor, robust online modes and even a story mode for those that want it. All of this is wrapped up in an attractive package that runs well, controls very smoothly and plyas like it looks.

    Need for Speed: Carbon
    This is a solid racing game that has evolved the need for speed series and just tightened and improved upon many of the things that were left unfurnished in the last game.

    ATV Offroad Fury Pro
    The inclusion of online play is a great bonus for a PSP racing game. With a few more tracks and a bit more background sound, AOFP could have been a terrific game.

    Guild Wars Nightfall
    After seeing what they have done with this setting, I can't wait to see what the next campaign will contain.

    Phantasy Star Universe
    Personally, I was turned off rather quickly by the ancient game play and dated development decisions.

    Phantasy Star Universe
    At the end of the day, PSU is probably destined to be in the same niche as Phantasy Star Online was to begin with.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
    With better focus on what players want, including four (useful!) costumes per character, a plethora of villians and heroes from Marvel lore, better visuals, tighter RPG elements, less of the Chatty-Cathy moments, and FAR more tough boss and mini-boss battles, Marvel Ultimate Alliance could be the geekfest that keeps players wrapped onto whatever platform they chose like a pair of tight blue spandex with a big 4 on the chest.
