    FIFA Soccer 2005
    And it's not so much the backgrounds or stadiums, which don't get me wrong look great, but the animation of the players. EA Sports has always managed to get the players running, tackling, goalkeeping, and kicking right on the money. Even better than last year's game.

    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
    All of the sound effects are top notch. My only gripe is with the voice acting. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but it definitely leaves something to be desired.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007
    All of the changes and new features were all for the better, and any wrestling fan will be happy with this game.

    MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
    It's the perfect mix of old school mech action with an arcade feel to it.

    OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast
    There isn't enough of a difference between this game and Outrun2 to make it worth respending $30 on.

    Super Monkey Ball Deluxe
    With all of the levels and the variety of mini-games that are included, you will find yourself enjoying this game for a long time.

    MLB 2006
    Another solid job by 989 Sports.

    NFL Street
    The graphics in NFL Street look good with a slight edge going to the Xbox version of the game. The Xbox version looks smoother and cleaner while the PS2 version looks a little rough around the edges.

    Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
    The fact that you use Bongos as the controller may seem very weird at first, but once you get the hang of it, the game is extremely fun and also very addictive.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2
    One of the most real military games I've seen in a very long time. Even outperforming "America's Army," which was a pretty good game. This is by far my new favorite of the Tom Clancy games.

    Sid Meier's Pirates!
    The thing that makes Sid Meyer's Pirates! a must-have Xbox game is the complete openness of it.

    Madden NFL 07
    But at least gamers on the Xbox 360 get a couple of cool features that others don’t get this year like Live Opponent and Madden Gamer Level.

    Dungeon Siege II
    They still do not have a fun game, but simply a collection of features… maybe the next time around they will have a fun game… one can always hope.

    SSX On Tour
    The mountain contains some incredibly cool tracks and slopes to ride down. Unfortunately the mountain is not that huge, although some of the races are incredibly long. You'll just hit a lot of the same places over and over again.

    Deus Ex: Invisible War
    It is quite easy to write about the few design missteps in Invisible War but I’ve found it hard to explain the magic it has to grab you in and not let go.

    EyeToy: Play
    The one thing that I loved was the boxing game. Fighting a robot and kicking the snot out of it was just totally fun. I was laughing and just having a great time during the bout. I don’t know, maybe I am a total cheese ball.

    The Sims: Makin' Magic
    Whether you’re trying to find rare ingredients to try that next spell on your list, testing out new recipes or just making sure your Sims crap when they need to… this game is still very capable of stealing large portions of your life from you.

    Spider-Man 2
    What I think is the most significant about the game is that it takes the movie's story, but it doesn't deviate from the gameplay that makes Spider-Man so fun. And this time it's very open ended.

    Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
    It is an intense game, and if that is what you want to get then you can't go wrong here, if you just want a game to jump in get a few kills and stop, then look elsewhere.

    Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday
    In the end I must say this game does a great job of simulating the experience of Axis and Allies the board game, just updated and enhanced with the power of a computer.

    Codename: Panzers, Phase Two
    I didn’t think anyone could make WWII seem boring, but man the cut scenes in this game are lame.

    Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
    High production values, a unique card system and beautiful artistry give the game just enough to make it stand out on it's own.

    WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw
    This is indeed the best version of WWE Smackdown there has been yet. To be honest, it's really the best wrestling game out there right now.

    Ground Control II: Operation Exodus
    Although I personally prefer to have myself a nice little base I can call home, with turret defenses tracking the moves of all my enemies before they even see my base, this was a nice step away from the norm.

    NBA Live 2004
    Nothing is more basketball than humiliating your opponent with ball handling and dribbling, and the Freestyle Control offers the gratification and humiliation experienced by any player no a court that was just faked out in front of a sell-out crowd.

    Tomb Raider: Legend
    Tomb Raider fans finally once again have that must-have.

    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    The voice acting is spectacular.
