Moves a bit closer to the PC version in terms of both features and quality, but it's still not quite there.

This is an un-pretentious little role playing game that doesn't try to be anything more than it is, and as a side-quest to a larger RPG universe, it succeeds.

It's still a better outing than other wrestling games out there, and if it weren't for "Smack Down," this would be the king of the ring.

Cleaner looking than "Triple Play," but lacking solid mechanics in the pitching and fielding.

If you're into complete and total destruction (a la "Blast Corps" for the Nintendo 64), then you'll have a hell of a time with Thunder Tanks. It will blow you away.

Looks like fun, plays like crap, and isn't even that funny.

Just too basic to really hold much interest, and it’s too difficult to figure out for such a simple game.

It's a good title for what it is - Crash Bandicoot gone psycho.

The controls are probably the one thing that makes the game more challenging than it looks. Because there's so much going on, the camera angles will sometimes veer out of control, causing you to lose your place in a tense firefight.

The game is a lot of fun to play, regardless of how loose the controls are.

Q-Ball does a good job of "simming" pool for professional players, and thereby seems more real then "Real."

Dark Arena runs smoothly and plays quickly, which means you'll stay in the Arena a little longer than you thought.

A basic, solid, hardworking title, with just enough familiar territory to keep fans of the show happy, and enough work to keep persistent (albeit young) gamers satisfied.

In the short term at least it's fun, very good fun in fact, and excellent for those retro fans who are desperate for a 2D platforming fix. Just don't expect to be playing it a year from now.

The real question is whether it's more fun than NBA Showtime or previous versions of NBA Jam, and the answer there would probably be no.

It's too short, it doesn't give you enough freedom, and the replayability is limited.

Chris Berman and Tom Jackson, both stellar sportscasters, don’t display the showmanship that’s the ESPN vocal trademark. They sound as if they’re doing their jobs, but with the clipped and monotone delivery, it sounds as if they wish they were somewhere else.

But what Blue Planet did was to add elements of animation to the backgrounds, which are at once beautiful to look at and extremely distracting.

For gamers who found Virtua Tennis 2K2 a little too easy, or Mario tennis a little too silly. It's a serious and thoughtful tennis game with challenging AI and a host f options and features that bring the realism out.

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

it's no SSX Tricky or Shaun Palmer, but it has a great look and some daunting challenges.

Technically speaking, Silent Scope 2 isn’t much of an advance over the original Silent Scope, and in some ways it’s actually a step backwards.

Stratego meets Braveheart in this entertaining and simple game.

Although not as complex as "Tekken Tag," or as simple to play as "DOA2," Street Fighter EX3 is still a fighter, and one that can battle with the best of them on the PS2.

All of the high-speed grinding, nosebleed big-air tricks, and spectacular board-twisting, body-contorting tricks of THPS are just as eye-catching and thumb-numbing as they were before, but now they’re enhanced by gorgeous snow-parks and powder-packed resorts.

Still has its brand of goofy appeal; there’s nothing quite like the sight of stuffed animals pumping each other full of lead...Hardcore FPS fans and platform purists should stay away.

Of the four versions of this game out there, this is probably the least fun due to the choppy frame rate and blurry graphics, not to mention the apparently missing fighters.

A game that only Simpsons fans can appreciate.
