    Robotron 64
    As the levels progress and the waves of enemies become bigger and faster it's not uncommon for players to be engulfed in a Zen like trance, mindlessly mowing through levels oblivious to the time of day, their sleeping patterns or what parts of their body have been set on fire. That, you see, is what good games are all about.

    Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge
    A definite improvement over the first 3D title in both control and camera viewpoint.

    F1 World Grand Prix
    While we wait for the next Microprose effort, this is a fine way to pass the time.

    Sheep
    More likely to drive you insane than put you to sleep, counting these Sheep is a treat for die-hard puzzle gamers.

    Project Eden
    You may have a harder time with all the backtracking, the imprecise jumping and exploration, and the overall large-scale scope of the game. In any case...a solid performer.

    NBA Courtside 2002
    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.

    Kessen II
    If DW3 was the video game equivalent of "Braveheart," then Kessen II is Kuroswawa's "Ran" -- just a little more meat in your dish.

    Time Crisis: Project Titan
    If you’re sick of waiting for "Time Crisis II"’s release on the PS2 later this year, Project Titan will more than tide you over.

    NCAA March Madness 2001
    While it has its share of shortcomings, March Madness 2001 packs enough variety and fun to make it the champion of Playstation basketball.

    Mickey's Speedway USA
    With a strong difficulty level, plenty of tracks and several game modes, Mickey's Speedway is a good value for those who don't have a kart racer in their library.

    Bloody Roar 3
    But if you want a serious butt-kicking good time, then this game Roars.

    Panzer General III: Scorched Earth
    Basically, though, this is the same game as the original -- the differences being more units, a better play balance, new campaigns, a new leader-based combat system, and obviously updated graphics.

    Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing
    This should keep you occupied long enough to appreciate the game, but not long enough to make you love it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    NBA ShootOut 2001
    The Cleveland Cavaliers of the video hoops world: not the worst team in the league, but lacks flash, is thin in the middle and an absolute non-factor in the playoffs.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    ESPN Winter X-Games Snowboarding 2002
    Another facet of the game is a pseudo-RPG element, which adds some replay value to the game, but becomes so ridiculously tedious after a short while that you won't go back to it.
    • 71 Metascore

    State of Emergency
    It's way too short, but the game does go over the top in both the action and the premise, and it is fun.

    KISS: Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child
    More than just a celebrity cash-in, this is a great first-person shooter.

    • 70 Critic Score
    F1 Championship Season 2000
    A relatively solid, if unspectacular, first effort for the F1 Championship series on the PS2 that plays pretty realistically. On the other hand, there's nothing here that a casual racing fan would find immediately compelling.

    Dark Summit
    Another good snowboarding game that quickly becomes addictive -- if you give it the chance.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Blood Wake
    It's fast pace and good graphics are impressive, but the game doesn't have the staying power to make it a classic.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dr. Mario 64
    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.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rampage Puzzle Attack
    It's not the most innovative game, and actually copies a block or two from other puzzle games, but the repetition gets endearing after awhile.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Looney Tunes Racing
    A decent kart racer that never makes full use of its license and falls a bit flat in gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Spy Hunter
    SpyHunter is a lot more like those cop chase shows than you think - you may have reservations about watching (or playing), but once you get hooked, you're in for the whole hour.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Gallop Racer 2001
    A fine game – but it’s lacking the depth and realism that many of the more complex management type sims have. Those looking for a quick racing thrill without a lot of fuss will find a lot to like.

    Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX
    Pro BMX was a solid game on the PS One – this should have been just as solid.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    NBA Live 2002
    The game has not taken any new leaps and bounds towards improvement in the way that Sega Sports "NBA 2K2" has, scoring this game just a little lower in the overall fun factor.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land
    In the world of flashier, harder hitting and more Hollywood style presentation of role-playing games, Wizardry may get lost in the labyrinth.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Giga Wing 2
    Just too easy, too short, and too busy visually. It’s initially quite an impressive looking and sounding game, but you know the saying about looks being deceiving.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    MTV Sports: Pure Ride
    A definite purchase for snowboarders and extreme sportsters who have finished playing "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2" and "Dave Mirra BMX Freestyle Racing."
