    Freestyle MetalX
    While this muck jam has expansive environments and great graphics, it also boasts as much originality as a Winger sing-along chorus. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun.

    BloodRayne
    Confused by the sometimes clunky camera angles? You can deliver your skull-smashing, thong-flashing high kicks in soothing slow motion.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds
    Splintered wooden furniture doubles as vampire vaporizing shivs to expand on your already wide variety of exterminating capabilities.

    Tron 2.0
    A must for those out there who still like their CGI old school.

    Alter Echo
    But the game's star is really Nevin's cool, morphable costume, which gives new meaning to the phrase "class action suit."

    Futurama
    It's too bad that clunky controls and eh game play stay forever buried in a time lock of dull sloppiness.

    Chaos Legion
    As hero Sieg Wahrheit, enjoy third-person action with strategizing and upgrading, RPG-style, plus plenty of splattery hack ’n’ slash fun.

    Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis
    There’s just no way to make Aquaman more exciting than beached jellyfish. It’s time to let the scaly superhero sleep with the fishes already.

    Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
    Golfing game standards like club selection, power meter, and control of backspins and topspins satisfy, but the sometimes-clunky controls and confusing camera perspectives will leave you teed-off.
    • 79 Metascore

    Downhill Domination
    Twenty-four long trails and endless noodly bike upgrades add variety.

    The Great Escape
    The drab pacing isn’t helped by clunky controls and muddy graphics.
    • 94 Metascore

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    This real-time, 3-D role-player neatly fuses the usual stat-crunching with plenty of chaotic firefights, ensuring there's at least something in here for the nongeeks (or at least not too geeky) among us.

    The Italian Job
    The ordinary race-and-chaser’s loosely knit compilation of repetitive Mini Cooper showdowns has a recognizable scene or two, but that’s about it.

    Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
    The basic game hasn’t changed from the “run, jiggle, shoot” style we know and love, ensuring Lara will be every bit the guilty pleasure she’s always been.

    Resident Evil: Dead Aim
    It’s a nice combination of horror and hysterics, a fresh take long overdue with this style of game.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ultimate Muscle: Legends vs New Generation
    The moves are so disappointing and ineffective, you’re down for the count before the festivities begin. On the list of failed comebacks, file this one below ALF.

    Midnight Club II
    It may not boast garages bloated with the usual name-brand chick magnets you find in other racing games, but the dark racing underbelly of Midnight Club II has every bit as many thrills as the leading grease monkey autopia.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Brute Force
    True, storming enemy positions is an option, but with environments this wide-open, you’ll just get your ass handed to you by a heavily armed battalion of baddies (or asshole buddies) if you do.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rise of Nations
    What truly sticks out about this real-time strategy game is that it never lets its engrossing depth create a dull moment.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick
    Seriously, you’d be hard-pressed to find a game with a more craptastic combination of graphics and gunplay.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    PlanetSide
    Forget hiking up to the woods for a rain-drenched, cattle-scattering game of paintball. Just hook yourself into PlanetSide for a measly $12.95 per month fee and you can feast on round-the-clock galactic virtual warfare with hundreds of faceless gamers worldwide.
