    World Soccer Winning Eleven 6 International
    Instead of relying on graphics and frills, Konami is putting all it’s eggs in the gameplay basket. They figure that if they improve that and leave other parts a bit lacking people will still enjoy it. I suppose that’s not that bad and we can almost count on great playing games down the line.

    World Series Baseball 2K3
    I love this game! I will be playing it a lot in the next 4 or 5 months. It’s the closest thing that I found to replicating that feeling of turning on the T.V. to watch Spring Training or heading down to “the corner” to watch my heroes play.

    Madden NFL 2004
    With the tightened game play and unbelievably deep owners mode I honestly believe this is the best version of Madden yet.

    NFL 2K2
    There is some room for improvement in the AI and the features, but when it comes to creating the illusion that you are really playing football, this is the game.

    NBA Live 2004
    This is the best version since "Live 2000" (a classic in my opinion) and I'm looking forward to see how the game improves in the future.

    With tons of secret characters, missions, and tricks to unlock, you’ll be playing this game until the snow melts next spring.

    High Heat Major League Baseball 2004
    3DO made significant improvements to the graphics, Gameplay and menu presentation. Perhaps the biggest improvement was to the pitch types, especially the movement on the various types of fastballs. [Actual Score: 90 - 95]

    High Heat Major League Baseball 2004
    Baseball is about the battle between the pitcher and hitter and HH does this extremely well. Also with the wealth of sliders on key areas of gameplay, HH makes for an extremely customizable gaming experience.

    MVP Baseball 2004
    One of the most ambitious attempts ever made to replicate arguably the most complicated sport on the planet, and in most cases, it hits the mark in spectacular fashion.

    NBA Street Vol. 2
    If you’re a huge basketball fan, you need to have this game. If you’re not a huge basketball fan, you should still get this game.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
    If you loved Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 or 2 on any other system, and you are a PS2 owner, this is a must have.

    NBA Inside Drive 2003
    No matter what anyone tells you, Inside Drive 2003 is NOT the same game as last year. With the addition of sliders, how can you honestly say it's the same game??

    The best gets better. No doubt about it. The guys at Neversoft got pushed by the competition and they responded.

    PGR presents just enough challenge without being too hard and frustrating which keeps you coming back for more.

    NBA 2K2
    Visual Concepts has started their series on the Xbox in outstanding fashion. If you are looking for the best the series has to offer, I suggest you go out and get this game.

    High Heat Major League Baseball 2003
    This game may have a Bulldog face that only it’s mother may love, but once you get past the mediocre graphics you will love it too. It’s magnificent gameplay on the field and customizable options off it, make it the console baseball game to beat.

    Links 2004
    A great, yet somewhat short, Career Mode, a bevy of online features, a fantastic Challenge Mode that will drive you crazy with replay factor, great looks, great courses, and the strongest simulation engine that I've seen on a console, will keep this title in your Xbox hours and hours per week.

    PureSim Baseball
    PureSim has some of the best graphics for a text-based game. The interfaces are beautiful and look like they have been worked on. The game screen is by far the best.

    NBA Inside Drive 2004
    If you are the type of person who cares more about gameplay and is looking for a sim-like basketball experience, run out and get this game as soon as possible. No game comes closer to replicating the on the court action of the NBA.

    The individual control of this game is unmatched. Player movement is lightning fast and incredibly responsive.

    Def Jam Vendetta
    My front runner for the fighting game of the year. While it does lack the variety of match types that Smackdown offers, it I believe is just as much fun, if not more fun than "Smackdown."

    NHL 2001
    No longer is the NHL series just an arcade game. Finally, us die-hard hockey fans have a simulation/game to be proud of.

    Bowl Bound is the best text-based college football simulation I’ve played and I look forward to future versions of this fine game.

    MLB Power Pros
    After a bunch of games and trying almost every game mode, I can say without a doubt, this is my favorite baseball game of the year.

    Tony Hawk's Proving Ground
    Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground does it again. The team at Neversoft has taken a great game and improved it like we’ve seen time and time before.

    NCAA Football 07
    I would give NCAA 2007 a perfect 10/10 based on the gameplay and the amount of fun I had with it. However, I'm knocking a point off for the lack of ESPN integration, the status quo on online play, and for not adding to the pre-game intros.
