Zombie shooting at it’s best – and lets not forget the "Devil May Cry" demo. If you’re thinking about buying RE:CVX, you won’t be disappointed. You’ll be grateful for the dead.

It’s a well-crafted and loving tribute to the original, but it definitely spices up the action with a new millennium look and feel.

A game with a porpoise, and that porpoise is to entertain the witty and insightful gamer. This is not a fishy fighting game.

The three alternating characters make the gameplay diverse enough to warrant repeat play, and will suit gamers of all persuasions.

A strangely cool and addictive game. But we have to take a point off for what is sure to be a limited appeal.

You'll want to play the game with the Japanese voices and English subtitles on. It looks cool (like your playing a Kurosawa film),and the Japanese voice acting is far superior to the English voice acting.

Silicon Valley is truly one worth the wait. Original in every sense, wild, wacky and crazy. Adults, don't overlook what appears to be the average kid's game. The gameplay and puzzles are devilishly clever and you'll have hours of fun with this one.

A very intricate, engrossing, and abnormal RPG. If you like things a tad on the bizarre side, Persona: Eternal Punishment is right up your alley. People who should stay away from Persona 2 are novice players.

If you're either bored with or overwhelmed by standard realistic PC flight sims, give this one a try.

Hands down (pun intended) the benchmark for football games.

Small nuances, like the changing weather conditions...and the incredible rush of speed during the starightaways, along with a smoother look and a greater sense of control, realy helps XG3 for the GameCube put a nicer spin on the genre, and edges out the PS2 version by a margin.

The only problem with F1 2001 is that you have to really love F1 racing. If you don’t you’ll find this game boring.

The purists choice for outstanding baseball action...a fun, authentic, and accurate baseball sim.

Despite the rubber-band AI, this is still a fun, addictive kart racer.

The game has no direction or purpose, and its one of the few games that seems so dull on the PlayStation 2.

PC gamers who have had no prior exposure to this game will definitely want to take a look, as this is still the same great game it always was.

Packs more playability into one disc than some RPGs do with three. A true sleeper.

It's one of those simple games that you know you'll be coming back to long after the latest racers have run out of gas.

The beautiful rendering of the cars, the colorful tracks, and the responsive controls all come together in one cool, portable package.

This is classic Ridge Racer that plays like a turbo charged (and ultra-cute) version of the original arcade game.

The music is really good, and the challenge is incredibly hard.

A great action game, a competitive extreme sports title, and the best bike racing game ever made for the PlayStation.

A game that’s easy to get into and fairly simple to play but that’s heavy on both strategy and skill – a rare combination.

A must if you want a great portable fighting game.

Best of all, the enemy's AI is fairly ruthless and will put up a good fight.

It’s just a little too frustrating without adding anything that’s really all that new – the Crazy Hop doesn’t really fundamentally alter the game all that much, meaning the game feels more like a Crazy Taxi map add-on pack than anything else.

Fluid handling, detailed cars and tracks, varying weather conditions, and an impressive 43 cars on the playing field all add a sense of depth to a game that was once known as the smallest niche in the race market.

The only real problem is a distinct lack of creativity.

The graphics are superb for a GBA game, with colorful characters that take up a good chunk of the screen, and bright, detailed backgrounds.

Be forewarned: This game could grow on you, one of the subtlest treats for the Playstation.

It does what every great game should -- keeps you guessing as to what might happen next.

One of the things that made Doom so much fun back then, and still carries over today, is that feeling that danger (and madness) lay around each corner.

If you're a friend-less hermit living in the mountains of Montana you may not get the full experience from this game, but if you've got people to play with, it's easy to overlook Timesplitters' flaws.

This would be considered a mission-pack add on in the PC world, but for fans of the series, it's a great new game with additional elements that enhance an old, but stable, gaming engine.

It’s a fast and fun (and accurate) basketball game with more additions and improvements than ever before. It’s also the best basetball game on the PS One.

This is the best simulation of NASCAR racing yet.

Once you get the hang of things, Wetrix can be an addictive and fun puzzler. Don't feel bad if you can't be bothered to dip your toe in, though - you won't be the only one.

A ton of alternative playing options (two-player versus, puzzles, timed play, and more), and hidden characters to unlock, so the game never gets boring.

There are only about three really great N64 first-person shooters, and this is one of those three.

Although there are a few minor annoyances, it’s unbelievable speed, mind-blowing tracks, and great upgrade selection make this a definite sleeper hit for racing fans.

It's a more in-depth game than High Heat, which is why All Star moves slower and the games seem longer.

Just the right mix of action, role-play, and strategy.

The best soccer game around.

For Dreamcast gamers who like to pilot their systems solo, Ooga Booga just seems like one long, boring trial.

A wonderful showcase for those forgotten SNK fighters, but it’s also geared for highly knowledgeable players who know the difference between a cross-up and a deep cross.

It is without a doubt the best sim-style boxing game on the PS2, and it makes "Ready 2 Rumble 2" look even sillier. But if you're expecting or are looking for a Rumble type game, steer clear of this title.

Everything we could have hoped for – great new levels (with just a touch of the old levels left in), vastly improved graphics, and another great soundtrack.

It looks good and plays well, but is missing elements of action and suspense that make a game like this story-heavy vampire hunter easier to digest.

An instant classic, and makes golf more fun while keeping it real.

It does not have the extensive room-searching and switch setting that "Doom" has, but it also is a little easier on the eyes and infinitely more intuitive -- it's pick-up-and-play first-person shooting at it's most entertaining and visceral level.

Each world has a unique feel and you’re given free reign to explore it while coating the walls with insect insides. You’ve never seen so many special effects on the screen at one time in any Nintendo 64 game before this, and some of the more action-packed scenes later on in the game really light up the screen. Top class.

A retake on the original product that yields surprisingly sharp results because of the compacted nature.

It’s also got a story line that will interest you, and characters that are individually conceived, and not just palette or costume swaps of each other. Project Justice does justice to the genre.

If you’re expecting the latest in 3D graphics and CD-quality sound, you’re going to be disappointed. Besides the extra cinematic scenes made especially for this release, this plays, looks and sounds just like a 16-bit SNES game.

The game will never live up to the PC version, and the two-player mode (although better than battling on your own), makes a mockery of the fun of the computer's multiplayer capabilities.

Capcom and SNK fans will be wettin' their pants for this one -- everyone else (including fight fans accustomed to more sophisticated graphics) will find this tepid at best. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a much more exciting game.

A large part of the game’s charm is it’s humor, but that’s not to say that the action, graphics, and sound don’t also meet the standard of a great PS2 game.

A step above the arcade driving of "Ridge Racer," and a little more serious than the "Need for Speed" series, but it still doesn't beat the granddaddy of great racing games ("Gran Turismo").

It's all fun and cute until you bust a cap in a bear's ass and watch him wiggle and die.

But the one thing that can’t be overlooked is that the game is over way too soon...(but) lives up to the engine it’s built on – it’s a great companion to "THPS2."

This investment is worth it for the time being – there’s no other wrestling games, and this one holds its own.

A fun and carefree flight sim that anyone can (and everyone should) enjoy.

The controls in NHL 2K2 get the nod for being the most intuitive in the genre.

Brief, nonsensical, infuriating and exhilarating, this is the perfect antidote to bland wrestling games and sub-par RPGs. Sexy fantastic!

Simply the best rally game for the PS2, and directly in competition with Rallisport for the hearts and minds of rally racing.

If you want the hard-boiled action of "Grand Theft Auto III" up close and personal, this is the game for you.

One of the best looking mini-baseball games ever.

The thing that Oddworld does that’s so fascinating to gamers is that it transports you to another world, a totally believable place where you’re more than happy to stay and play for a while.

It’s a captivating run for about the first ten hours of play, then dungeon levels become too mechanical. Still, for all its shortcomings, the game also has its share of charms.

If cars really behaved like those in VP, the carnage on our nation's highways would immediately result in a national speed limit of 15 to deter the sort of fish-tailing, wildly over-steering behavior exhibited in this game.

A faithful port of a modern classic, down to its nagging flaws.

A poorly controlled game with hard-to-perform tricks can’t quite destroy one of the best looking water racers ever made.

What really makes the game, though, like the first, is the overall racing atmosphere.

Though it borders on the frustrating side of difficult, it's a visual treat and certainly a worthy purchase for new PS2 owners.

An addictive and fun collection of Pac-Man games that looks a whole lot better than you’d expect.

It's a great football game, but Madden edges it out because of superior execution and substance.

It's the perfect game for people who say they hate video games.

If you have an X-Box, this is the game to beat for playability and entertainment.

What separates Giants from other games is that there are so many things to do - but you have to have some backbone to stick with it.

If you've gotten tired of the same old formula, or you're a big fan of the more RPG-like combat system of the original game, you may want to pass on PE II.

This is one of those quirky, indefinable puzzle games that you have to play to understand. Novice players will immediately be hooked, while experienced puzzle fans may find that this wet Tetris is too easy.

It's a lot of fun, and the mini-games help to break up the action, but the game is still too short, and the number of locales too small.

It's not a huge improvement over the last in the series, but then the series doesn't need much improving to begin with.

They’re great for killing a few minutes while riding the train or standing in line at your local Burger King.

Looking for the mot realistic hockey game ever? Look elsewhere. NHL Hitz is about adrenaline and ass-whuppin' - in that order.

May not be as polished or pretty as "Code: Veronica," or as fast-paced and action-packed as "Dino Crisis 2," but it certainly has elements of both of those games in it.

An excellent buy for newbies looking for humor and gameplay depth. While it doesn’t alter the franchise’s formula, it’s still as fun and frustrating as its predecessors.

Not as spectacular an update as we would have liked.

It looks better than the PS2 version, and it plays a little more solidly.

If you want the best baseball out there, with speed, finesse, and control, then you have to go with the All Star.

Simple, easy to pick up, but most importantly-fun. It's not a Tekken, but it is fun and has a long life through the insanely great four player mode. And who can resist beating up Pikachu?

Simplicity with a reliance on skill over chance is generally the recipe for console gaming success, and that's the case with Sky Odyssey -- this is gameplay in its purest form, and despite the oft-times ugly visuals, it's an addictive and enjoyable experience.

Breath of Fire will take you back to a time when fighting and believing in the story was all you needed.

Bring over a few friends, and although they may laugh at the cutesy setting at first, the excitement raised by the frantic multiplayer action is nothing short of sensational. Avoid this one if you're one of those shady loner-types.

So the control is a little squirrelly and the music tries for Mozart but hits Muzak instead? It doesn't matter, because the game has an overall sensation of speed and danger that forgives a lot of the flaws.

This radical departure adds a level of depth to the series as a whole - MM fans should pick it up out of loyalty - anyone who's not a hardcore fan should let this one settle back into the big blue.

Except for deathmatch mode it's really no different than any other space sim, and the controls are much too difficult. Otherwise, though, it's well-executed and solid, if a bit too familiar.

If you love golf, you'll love this game, which is based on the "Hot Shots" engine. The course redraw is fairly quick, the courses are well-developed, and the characters are hyper-realistic.
