    Payne doesn’t rely on a multiplayer mode, flashy graphics engine, or ultra-realistic gore to satisfy the masses… it just delivers in a way that so many other games don’t.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    One of the coolest and most interesting storyline and opening movie (I’ll get into the visuals part later) I’ve ever seen in a game to date.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The environments, characters and challenges all come together to form an excellent game which almost anyone will enjoy to play.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    THQ failed deliver a very impressive port of an already unimpressive game.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The audio is great and worth listen with a Dolby pro-logic receiver, and the graphics, while flawed are truly of next-generation quality.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The game is far from perfect, suffering from a shaky graphics engine and a trick system that requires some tweaking, but the game manages to be pretty damn fun despite all that.

    Overall Azurik whilst not setting the genre on fire with innovation remains still a good adventure game with an RPG style.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The engine, while on the verge of being dated, still manages to dazzle. To get the most out of the game, however, some pricey hardware may be required.

    This game stays true to its sport for better or worse. If you dig snowboarding and you want the most realistic experience, look no further than Amped...But for the rest of us (and I suspect that is a majority) you’ll probably want to steer clear of Amped.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Put simply this game is such a well rounded and comprehensive effort that it will take some beating before it is shot down and rendered missing in action by a competitor.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's also short, and there is no reason why you would feel compelled to play it again. No secrets to unlock, no hidden characters.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If your looking for a good ole fashioned arcade, hockey check fest, or an alternative multiplayer game to Super Smash Brothers Melee then look no further – NHL Hitz is here.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    There are unfortunately a few flaws which drops it from a must own game to try before you buy.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    Graphically it bench presses any other console FPS out there, and the gameplay is varied, interesting and full of superb environments.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The first good surfing game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Really nothing more than a rehash.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great title...It's only good for playing with friends.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    One of the best racing games to hit the console market.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    While the graphics are certainly a feat, they alone can't make the game worth playing.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There simply isn’t enough substance to recommend a purchase. The multiplayer is fun - for awhile, but it gets stale quick. The single player is extremely short.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you’re after a game which is non stop madness and have a few friends who can regularly game with you then Cel Damage is a game you may considering purchasing, but unfortunately the single player game lets it down.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    One of the most engaging and entertaining racers I've had to privelige to play.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    I personally recommend the Xbox version above all others because it happens to sport lightning fast loading, benefits greatly from the built-in harddrive, and the graphics are a bit better.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The most comprehensive real time strategy wargame ever produced.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Hampered by shoddy responsiveness, frustrating gameplay, and an overabundance of boring same ol’ same ol’ challenges, Dark Summit falls short of what I think it very well could have been.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    As a standalone game, PS2 Half Life takes its place at the top of first person shooters with its fantastic storyline, graceful level design and exceptional graphics which whizz along at a constant 60 fps.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A hit and miss game. It has created an eerie atmospheric world which will have you shaking in your boots as you play this game. The story line is brilliant and the graphics add to the awesome 3D world it’s set in.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A worthy and immersive extension of the series, and comes close to perfection in terms of strategy.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Unfortunately because of some limitations of the GBA console many features and characters have had to be left out and replaced. One of the most significant absentees is the final boss for the Inferno episode.
    • 81 Metascore

    Before now there have been some strategy games set in medieval times, but none has captured the essence and flavour of the period like the superb Stronghold.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fresh breath of air for the management style of gaming genre.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As a single player game you might whip through it a few times on different difficulty. However if multiplayer is your thing this game is excellent value, well we reckon it will be when we get another copy!
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The interface is also not particularly logical with many character actions being accessible only after you have waded through a number of submenus. This is annoying and will drive you to distraction in combat, until you get the hang of the hot keys.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    As a hybrid of popular artistic themes and gameplay, Throne of Darkness succeeds on many levels. However, if you're looking for a completely fresh experience, look elsewhere. Diablo-esque influences keep the game from breaking new ground in a significant way.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This is a pretty bad game that has endless sprawling caves as gameplay areas and equally dull gameplay within them.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The sense of actually being there in Parker's fight against oppression really makes this a game worth getting.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Comes as close to game playing perfection as possible. It's fantastic amalgamation of intense single player action and exciting 4 player entertainment shouldn't be missed by anyone with a GBA.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The most disappointing facet of the visuals would have to be the character graphics which are lacking in detail, are poorly animated and remind us more of flimsy cardboard cut outs that wobble about than real flesh and blood individuals.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It is a good thing the gunplay is so exciting in this game, as there is not a lot else on offer.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's one of those games that can give you a quick gaming fix when you need it, and even though the premise is similiar among all of the titles (Pac-Attack being the exception), the action is different and worthy of gameplay!
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    As unpredictable as the head to head battles and random challenges are, the game is much too simple and basic - PERFECT however, for the younger set; beginners.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Both challenging and addicting.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    There is no finer joy in life than sitting with a group of friends and watching their faces contort and twist in agony as you happily place bombs next to them, trapping them against a wall from which they can never escape from.

    Nintendo's latest version of the F-Zero series for the GBA preserves the "Wow" factor that made F-Zero one of Nintendo's biggest game franchises.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    An insanely good time!
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    With it's astounding gameplay and unbelievable fun factor, it's a game you won't want to put down, even when given it's slight graphic downfalls.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Not only will expose a whole new generation to one of the classics, it will challenge those who remember it the first time around.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's fun, fast, and furious pace will have you seeing cats and mice in your sleep.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Gamers looking for an off-the-wall platform adventure, and those that have the patience to put up with the lack of a save feature might find EWJ a good buy.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    It seems that the Pitfall series has lost its luster over time, and this port just solidifies that fact.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Had the GT Advance utilized the battery backed password system, I certainly would have scored this game MUCH higher. But given the exquisite graphics, challenging races, fun tune–ups, the game itself MAY be worth the hassle.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Lots and lots of new and exciting things to do here. Just a refreshing game.

    If every game that graces the GBA were as good as Tony Hawk 2, then the world would be a better place. There would be no war, crime, or violence because everybody would be too busy playing Game Boy.

    For boxing fans - it floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

    Not only was I throughly dissappointed by Iridion, but I was downright frustrated.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    This game is for the strategy gamer and those who love space scenarios. This is a game that will really get you going.
