    After playing "Cossacks: European Wars" and "Age of Empires," Star Wars Galactic Battleground is like an extra layer of meat on a really good sandwich - you could do without the meat, but you would also enjoy the sandwich a little more with it.

    While some people may feel that Castlevania was not meant to be 3D, we'd have to sorely disagree, being pleasantly surprised with the job Konami have done here. Have no doubt, Castlevania 64 kicks some major butt!!!

    Crash takes you on a huge adventure that may be repetitive, but sure is entertaining.

    It's refreshing to see a quasi-RPG game that doesn't go for the high-brow, rules-specific combat of RPG's - but if you're looking for an RPG with more clout, stick to "Final Fantasy X."

    A good, enjoyable experience for people who just want to beat each other up, and are unconcerned with rules, penalties, or fairness.

    FIFA handled a little better, but World Tour has a little more depth. FIFA looks a little better, but World Tour has more heart in the animation.

    There’s no way the game will appeal to those who can’t stand Pokemon. There’s just not enough to make the game stretch that far.

    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.

    The quirky controls don't reach the levels of brilliance that the level design or overall look of the game do.

    It's jolly good fun and should be examined immediately.

    This one is just a trip down memory lane that will bring a tear to the eye of old-school gamers, and tears of frustration to the eyes of newbies who don’t understand that this was gaming way back when.

    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?

    Hardcore puzzle gamers who’ve tasted better fare won’t want to go back to this cafeteria-cut game any time soon. The Doctor is in, but he’s showing his age.

    In the world of flashier, harder hitting and more Hollywood style presentation of role-playing games, Wizardry may get lost in the labyrinth.

    A sunny-side up surprise, the best movie-to-console game in ages and not that far from the Dreamcast version. Two wings up.

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

    Another good snowboarding game that quickly becomes addictive -- if you give it the chance.

    What you need is patience, thorough reading skills (to get through the manual), and a real appetite for destruction.

    If you’re not a Spyro fan, this is still a passable and thoroughly engrossing game that exhausts you with all the item searching – but hey, that’s what a good platform game does.

    The only way to make the game any more fun is to through in the options that would make any four-wheeler drool, and the game has plenty of that.

    A tired remake of "Tomb Raider" without the intrigue.

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

    If you do find a happy medium between the controls and the game play, you'll find yourself actually digging the game - but like most good games, the fun is over way to quick, With twenty missions total in the game, we beat about seven of them within an hour.

    The arcade mode isn't arcade enough, the practice mode is a no-brainer, and the 3-point mode is wickedly easy. Still, it's the first basketball game for the Game Cube, and right now it's also one of the better looking ones.

    It's not a perfect simulation of driving in the same way Sega's own "Ferrari F355 Challenge" is, but it's close -- and with a lot more cars and races to choose from.

    Triple Play 2002 will appeal to a large range of fans, but will especially appeal to those who are scared off by more complex or technical baseball games, like "All Star 2003."

    Drakan tries - and sometimes succeeds - in being better than average, but it eventually gets Drakan'd right back to a formulaic adventure game.

    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.

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

    There’s plenty of options to keep you from getting bored, but to unlock you must play, and if you’re one of those casual gamers who are easily put off by repetitive gameplay then this is not for you.
