    Ninja Gaiden II
    For the die-hards who take their games like they take their women – angry, violent, unforgiving, underdeveloped and occasionally gratifying – Ninja Gaiden 2 is a fine follow-up, especially with its punishing achievements and four difficulty settings (Very Hard, Insane, Chuck Norris, Double Chuck Norris). For everyone else Ninja Gaiden 2 is an exercise in futility that’s just not as polished, balanced or enjoyable as its predecessor.

    MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
    As with an increasing number of recent Xbox titles, MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf gets our recommendation largely thanks to the inclusion of a multiplayer mode that is pretty unique and a lot of fun.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
    The story is deep and well thought out, the script at times dark, at times humorous, but always entertaining.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast
    The PS2 version of the game looks every bit as good as on the more powerful Xbox, and gamers would be hard pushed to distinguish it from the arcade version.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Codename: Panzers, Phase One
    Codename: Panzers has seemingly appeared from nowhere – at least on these shores – yet has effortlessly succeeded in being one of the best RTS titles of the year so far.
    • 80 Metascore

    Age of Conan: Unchained
    It’s bold, brash, visceral in nature and for the first 20 levels it’s highly compelling. It’s also unfinished, somewhat unpolished and requires a fairly hefty PC to run.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
    Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen takes a little while to get on the boil, but once it does you’ll find yourself absorbed in a lengthy, enjoyable, balanced and accessible JRPG that is as welcoming to genre veterans as it is to complete newcomers. There’s more than enough modern polish and sheen to justify bringing this former NES classic back for yet another outing.

    Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
    The controls are easy to pick up, which makes flying and combat both simple and fun.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2
    If it weren't for the somewhat unpolished enemy AI and placement, Ghost Recon 2 could have been a very realistic and engaging shooter. As it is, it feels a little out-of-kilter and more like a standard (but very good looking) shooter with some pacing issues.

    Sid Meier's Pirates!
    But in spite of some niggling problems, Pirates! is a very addictive game that you can while away whole evenings on, just trying out different things.

    • 94 Critic Score
    Gitaroo Man Lives!
    Gitaroo Man Lives! is a work of art. It’s Koei’s atonement for "Dynasty Warriors." It’s a masterpiece, one of the greatest achievements in video game history.

    Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
    While Age of Empires has been stripped of its frills, the core still shines brightly. Ignoring the ‘limitations’ of its chosen format entirely, The Age of Kings is as competent and enjoyable as any strategy title out there.

    Metal Slug Anthology
    Even though the PSP and Wii versions weren’t great, the PS2 version of Metal Slug Anthology shows just how fantastic retro game collections can be.

    Sam & Max Episode 202: Moai Better Blues
    In terms of overall quality though, which is the aspect which really counts, Moai Better Blues is easily in the same league as Ice Station Santa.

    • 88 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
    Final Fantasy Tactics A2 carries on the fine tradition of the series and, a couple of stylus issues aside, is a natural fit on the DS.

    FIFA 07 Soccer
    The tweaks to the existing feature set and gameplay have certainly raised its game and will make you feel like you are close to experiencing a real football match.

    Sam & Max Episode 104: Abe Lincoln Must Die!
    While still not perfect, if you overlook the slow start and the cheap puzzle we mentioned, Abe Lincoln Must Die! marks out an extremely welcome return to form for the series.

    SSX On Tour
    Despite the step-down in charm, the game underneath it all is splendid.

    Condemned 2: Bloodshot
    One of the nastiest experiences you are ever going to have in a game, but in a good way.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
    Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault isn’t a revelation that puts new life back into WW2-based first person shooters. It is, however, a revelation for the series, pushing the adrenaline-fuelled action away to make for a much grittier, involving and entertaining experience.

    Codename: Panzers, Phase Two
    By bringing forward all the great aspects of its predecessor that worked so well before, giving them a change of scenery to warmer climes and adding in a few new choice features, Codename Panzers: Phase Two has managed to maintain the quality of the first instalment.

    Full Spectrum Warrior
    It’s repetitive, a little on the shallow side, and probably not for your average twitch gamer, but it’s also highly original and extremely entertaining.

    Duke Nukem 3D
    There’s no getting away from the fact that Duke Nukem has gotten on a bit, and he’s already been around the block a few times on several other systems. Still, as a trip down memory lane or an insight into a key period of FPS development, the Live Arcade version is just about worth the admission price.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
    Depending on how you look at it, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 on Xbox 360 is either fantastic value and the best golf game on the market, or it’s a somewhat less-than-fantastic value update to a game that, while undeniably good, hasn’t gotten a great deal better.

    Buzz! Quiz TV
    The slick studio graphics and optional online features are all that really set it apart, so there’s not a huge point in upgrading if you already have a Buzz! game or two, but at least PS3 owners now have one to call their own.

    WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw
    On the one hand it’s a fantastic game, and on the other, so was Here Comes the Pain, which has a good deal of what SvR does and some things that it doesn’t.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Ground Control II: Operation Exodus
    But every game has its weaknesses, and as far as the complete picture is concerned, Ground Control 2’s aren’t enough to excessively interfere with what is, whichever way you look at it, a very good game.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    One of the most enjoyable if short-lived gameplay experiences. The game is practically a work of art, but that may not be enough for everyone.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
    There are no huge technical leaps or jarring presentational changes, just eight-or-so hours of extra content and some convenient and entertaining additions to the core gameplay.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
    Its simplicity is its strength, and its weakness – while traipsing around looking for annoyingly hidden items and backtracking is almost completely avoided, the limited direction of the game reduces its chances of holding your interest for long enough to play it all the way through.
