Better on the Box. Sharper, fuller, and more variable detail, excellent sound, and precise controls are all contained herein, along with the patented Crash game play that makes this such a fan favorite.

A monster facial to the arcade hoops competition. Bow down suckas - there’s a new champ on the court. Once NUFX works out the kinks, it’ll be unstoppable.

Here we have the opposite of the norm -- a great game based on a bad film.

Multiplayer of course shines, and there's never been a better excuse to splash out for that cable modem than the multi-tiered dogfights possible in FreeSpace 2. The best of its kind yet.

It's as good as a game like this can be -- the only negative is that we've seen it all before.

Circus Maximus isn't the best game for the X-Box, nor is it the most fun - but it certainly is innovative, and you might find yourself playing for hours despite your objections.

Nice one, although it needs a gigantic monster of a machine to really play properly.

The tracks are in great number and you have the ability to change the time of day as well as the weather, ensuring the most brutal of settings for any off-road excursion.

The frame rate is pretty bad and arenas are generic, but player models look detailed, at least.

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.

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.

It's flashy looks and mind-blowing storyline, combined with Ice T and some simple controls make "Sanity" a lot of fun as well.

It gets boring fast, and you have to love wrestling to begin with, but if you are a fan, this is a cool game to have.

The way the Advance interacts with the Cube is flawless, and if you have Sonic Advance (and we recommend you pick it up), it's a nice touch, with lots of promise for future games.

Jak and Daxter brings back memories of the fun of Crash without killing the character through repetition.

It almost goes without saying that the game controls impeccably and sounds great (this is Need for Speed, after all), so the excellent variety of play modes and fresh-feeling historically-oriented gameplay should be more than enough to convince you of the title’s worth.

More of a thinking man's boxing game, full of strategy, personality, and fire. Take the career mode for a spin and you'll fell all the pain, frustration, and joy that a boxing career will bring.

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

Of the three, this version of Tricky has the best controls and graphics. That makes this the best version available.

One of the best looking water games with lots of tricky entertainment and wet fun for everyone, newbie and pro, to enjoy.
