With the excessive amount of tricks available, well planned and superbly designed skate parks, and solid soundtrack, it almost makes you forget that there's a guy named Mat Hoffman waiting in the wings.

The real problem is that the game won’t hold your attention for longer than a weekend, which is unfortunate.

It's fast pace and good graphics are impressive, but the game doesn't have the staying power to make it a classic.

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.

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.

Inoffensive, cute, and somewhat challenging, "Kirby 64" won't slay you with great graphics or spectacular gameplay, but it will keep younger gamers interested for quite a while.

It doesn't damage the reputation of fantasy games, but it doesn't make any spectacular leaps and bounds with it.

Fast, fun, and full of fire, but it's way too short. Even on all the difficulty levels you are getting the same game all around.

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.

If you're new to the series, this is arguably the best Resident Evil game ever made.

There have been a rash of bad-to-mediocre RPG's for the PS2 lately, and this one rises above the dreck with the combo system and the solid graphics and sound.

It’s one of those rare games that you find yourself playing just to see how it turns out.

The only problem Driver has is that the whole thing gets old pretty quickly.

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.

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.

Short, mindless fun.

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

Don’t let the soft controls or graphic glitches deter you, though. Arctic Thunder still has some fun in the engine, mostly in the breakneck pace of the races.

The game is still fun to play while respecting the limits of physics and surfboards.

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.

What makes the game somewhat unique, though, is its peculiar blend of strategy, stealth and tactics with medieval RPG elements and real-time combat, along with its grey-shaded plot.

A game that only Simpsons fans can appreciate.

If you like your games brainy and scary, Alone in the Dark is just the medicine the witch doctor ordered.

We take off an extra half point for the high overall difficulty of the game, rendering it all but impossible to play for anyone but the most seasoned war simulation veterans. On the other hand, it is incredibly realistic.

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

Merely a good game that feels a bit old hat.

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

This one is just for the old-schoolers who want to remember when gaming was a niche and not a business.
