Graphically it bench presses any other console FPS out there, and the gameplay is varied, interesting and full of superb environments.

An insanely good time!

In my opinion, the game looked better on the PS2, and compared to some of the other stuff the Xbox is pulling off, the game seems even less impressive. It’s still pretty good though.

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.

Not only will expose a whole new generation to one of the classics, it will challenge those who remember it the first time around.

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.

The game features one of the most intuitive camera control systems yet seen in this style of game. While it doesn't grant the player complete freedom, it does establish a delicate balance between ease of use and flexibility.

The single player is enough to warrant a buy, but the national tournaments and multi-player aspects make it one you just have to have in your game library.

One of the best motorbike games ever.

The game is simply perfectly balanced in every way, and Raven have performed miracles achieving this.

A great title...It's only good for playing with friends.

Only two other games, "Half-life" and "Deus Ex" have given me the same Buzz as completing Renegade has.

Everything in the background of the mansion hallways, courtyards, rooms, etc. is extremely detailed, right up to a little pile of dust on an old table.

There is almost infinite replay value due to the incredible amount of available coffins in the krypt (You can literally spend hours JUST opening coffins). This creates an incentive to play the arcade mode and complete Kampaign mode.

The headset does a great job to add a lot of realism to the game online and offline.

One of the most innovative and intriguing action-adventure games on the PS2. Its very unique and artistic visuals are amazing to look at and watch in motion while you use the very deep and innovative controls.

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.

The most comprehensive real time strategy wargame ever produced.

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.

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.

The terrific visuals mixing with the well implemented sound effects and soundtrack make this game a real treat.

It keeps all the ingredients that have made Electronic Arts’ FIFA titles so much fun to play in the past, but at the same time adds some new, interesting elements to keep the title fresh.

A breathtaking work of art; an epic masterpiece that stands out in today’s jaded gaming market.

Broadband users are the ones that will truly benefit from the experience though, as you can have up to 8 players go head to head in death-match mayhem with virtually no lag most of the time. This is about as fun as you will get with an online game on a console for the time being.

A worthy and immersive extension of the series, and comes close to perfection in terms of strategy.

One of the freshest things to enter the extreme sports genre since the first Tony Hawk.

The constant action featured in the gameplay is just as exhilarating as anything previously seen, as the only thing hampering it is the faulty camera angles at times.

State of the art graphics, stereo sound, and excellent gameplay.

One thing the PC version does have over the PS2 version is the fact players can re-skin the main character, and no doubt in given time people will create modifications and new missions, cars etc for the game.

The excellent storyline, huge environment, fantastic graphics and superb voice acting create an atmosphere which is unmatched in any PC game today.

This game has the best crashes ever done in anything, and I think that even includes movies.

This one should raise eyebrows worldwide as one of the real sleepers this year.

The visuals are awesome, the sound is great, and the gameplay is good, though it could have been much better. You're likely to get frustrated a lot (and I mean a LOT), but the game is still great fun.

For once, gamers can play as Spiderman and use all of his awesome techniques while experiencing few problems along the way.

A great platformer, whose only flaw is that it is rather short in length. The visuals and animations on Sly are just jaw-dropping, and the levels are diverse and gorgeous to sneak around in.

While probably not being able to match up to "World Series Baseball" in terms of depth and such, the game’s arcade style brings a fresh viewpoint to the genre that some of the sims may take part in later down the line.

But trying to separate myself from how much fun the game is and looking at it objectively reminds me that the game is still technically flawed, and thus far from perfect.

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.

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.

The gameplay is loads of fun and the visuals easily surpass any baseball game currently out there. The only problem lies with how long you will be playing it for, as the replay value lacks a bit.

With so many ways to kill your enemies, you will never get bored of the same sort of stuff every gunfight.

The gameplay in The Thing is very unique and complex, but does a terrific job to put you right in the middle of the action as you control yourself and your squad.

Ok, let me get this off my chest right away – Maximo is just too difficult, there, I said it!...but it was an enjoyable experience.

It has a lot of excitement and endless action for those action gurus who enjoy toting dual guns and a few rocket launchers here and there. If you are a serious fan of blowing stuff up, this is a game you must own.

Not only did Team Ninja make a game with the most beautiful virtual women of all time, but they also managed to make a fun game of volleyball, a solid gambling experience, and add social elements on top of it.

Lots and lots of new and exciting things to do here. Just a refreshing game.

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!

One of the best Formula 1 games around and for those after a challenging racer paired with some beautiful graphics and excellent AI then Grand Prix 4 is for you. The definitive F1 racer is back.

With the PC version now using the console engine, more atmospheric gameplay, new moves and strategies for the players and coaches as well as the online features Madden 2003 is one of the most full featured gridiron simulations in recent years.

A very solid surfing game that easily lives up the caliber we have come to expect and love from the kings of extreme sports, Activision.

One of the nicest things about Warrior Kings is the Camera control.

An amazing step forward for the Hitz franchise, as Black Box did an incredible job with the visuals and audio to make this the best game Midway has to offer.

The environment also effects the difficulty of combat, and the developers have used the engine to it’s fullest in this regard, giving you plenty of crazy battle sites which definitely add to the playability and fun factor of the game.

Everything about the game is extremely impressive. Whether it is the visuals, or gameplay, you will enjoy everything about this game. Don’t forget about that depth either.

Though it doesn’t match the overall bliss which "Rogue Squadron 2" had with the graphics and all, it is still one enjoyable game that you won’t want to put down once you get thrown into the middle of the action, which only takes about five minutes.
