    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    Visually spectacular and open on the Xbox and PC, but very dark and claustrophobic on the PS2.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    With this much improvement in the online mode after just one new game, I think Ubisoft will knock our socks off on the next generation of hardware.

    Twisted Metal: Head-On
    The storyline is the same one it has always been and the difficulty is obscene.

    Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix
    The graphics, sounds, and controls are almost spot-on perfect replicas of their console counterpart. This is the best portable version of any Tony Hawk game to date.

    Spider-Man 2
    D-Pad camera controls are painfully slow.

    God of War
    Possibly the best first-party game to ever come out on the Playstation 2. That’s a tough thing to say with Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper and Gran Turismo out there, but it’s simply the truth.

    The Matrix Online
    Those who are sick of the fantasy settings that seem to be commonplace within the MMORPG world will find this as a breath of fresh air. While the setting may be different, there are enough similarities for MMORPG players to feel at home.

    World Tour Soccer 2006
    For those people who are hardcore soccer fans, you're still going to be better off with the superior Winning Eleven Soccer series, which has more depth and details and dosen't have the problem that WTS 2006 has with the problems reading their menus.

    Metal Gear Acid
    Card gameplay has some good moments but eventually just becomes monotonous.
    • 79 Metascore

    MX vs. ATV Unleashed
    Lots of content and lots of things to do are always a good thing in a game, and it's definitely worth picking up as opposed to renting, mainly because you'll never get everything in the game done in a rental.

    Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
    If you can get the Xbox or PC version, I would highly recommend that version over the PS2 version. If the PS2 version is your only option, then you won’t be disappointed.

    Act of War: Direct Action
    A surprisingly engaging title. The story is full of twists and turns, and the way the story is threaded into the gameplay keeps you involved. The game isn’t frustratingly difficult.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Cold Fear
    I enjoyed Cold Fear for what it was – an average thriller with some above average story-telling and terrific use of atmosphere.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Phantom Dust
    A must-have for Live and multiplayer enthusiasts, Phantom Dust is a breath of fresh air in the fps dominant world of online play. And at twenty bucks, it's practically theft!
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
    This is a labor of love by Gearbox and if you’re at all into historical stuff, this game is for you.

    MLB 2006
    A solid, if flawed game. That, combined with the prohibitive price (in comparison to its competitors) makes it a somewhat poor choice for this year.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
    It is a tough game, but once you get past the early part it is pretty smooth sailing.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Fight Night Round 2
    Just the simple addition of being able to move while punching is enough to recommend this game hands down.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Heritage of Kings: The Settlers
    It is almost a management sim, like "Majesty" was...and it is almost a military sim, like "Starcraft" or "Age of Mythology." But it is unique in its design and only suffers from a few design flaws.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Tekken 5
    The graphics, sound and gameplay combine to form the best Tekken game yet.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Gran Turismo 4
    The control is simply phenomenal with the Logitech Driving Force Pro... A force feedback wheel where it pushes against you as you go into a turn at high speeds is just spot on.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Project: Snowblind
    Project: Snowblind starts off with huge potential. The graphics, sounds, and controls are well done, even with the minor complaints.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose
    If you are willing to stick with it, and accept that they may use terms that won't even get completely explained in this chapter, it is a decent science fiction story. It's just not simple to follow, and translation from Japanese to English probably did not help make things any easier to understand.

    Constantine
    Falls into the usual pitfalls of not immersing the player in enough to make playing the game worthwhile. This is a rental at best.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Star Fox: Assault
    And for the love of all that's holy, get some decent voice actors next time.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Champions: Return to Arms
    It’s unfortunate that this sequel has the blender feel to it, as the original game was a blast to play.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
    To be honest, I was really surprised by how well this game turned out. Usually when a company drops publishing rights it isn't such good news, not so for this game.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tork: Prehistoric Punk
    Tork is a fairly short game, especially because of the skew towards younger gamers.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Getaway: Black Monday
    It honestly has more of the feel that the original "Driver" gave on the Playstation, and that's a good thing. However, it isn't enough of an improvement to truly recommend this title as anything other than a rental or budget purchase.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Mercenaries
    The game world is hugely immersive, the danger is constant and mirrors the very real situation brewing right now, the ammunition and firepower are virtually unlimited, you can call in air strikes and bombardments from afar, and the missions are frequently inventive and require imagination to succeed at.
