    NBA Street Showdown
    This is NBA with a little bit less seriousness. Don't take it to seriously and it's fairly entertaining.

    Guild Wars
    The graphics in this virtual world are amazing. The characters are rendered beautifuliy, and they move and interact with the environment perfectly. The system requirements for this game is low but the graphics are still spectacular.

    Resident Evil Outbreak File #2
    Broken in both single and multi player, Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2 is a barrel full of missed opportunity.

    Pac-Pix
    Delivers what the DS promised – originality. It’s just a shame there isn’t more to it.
    • 46 Metascore

    Predator: Concrete Jungle
    By creating this absolute mess of a game, Eurocom have done a great disservice to themselves and fans of the franchise. Avoid at all costs.

    Area 51
    A solid FPS with a great storyline, it just doesn't bring too much new to the genre, and at times feels very familiar.
    • 56 Metascore

    WWE WrestleMania 21
    While it gets better as you persevere, the game overall isn't as strong as we would have liked.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails
    There is plenty of content in the game, but the difficulty level and average controls may mean that most people don't see all that the game has to offer.

    Polarium
    A good game but it’s going to be forced to dwell in the shadows of much superior titles, especially Meteos, as it’s genre has been trumped. However, a lot of the redeeming value is diminished by the fact that the Challenge mode is weak and it is a puzzle game that will only appeal for a finite amount of time.

    Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict
    With a bit more work on the weapons and little less emphasis on the melee combat, this mix of first and third person combat could be a real hit next time around. As it stands, it's still a very good game, but it falls a little short.

    Jade Empire
    This is the XBox RPG to own, great combat, a brilliant storyline and fantastic character modelling.

    Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition
    One of the greatest Racing games I as a gamer have ever played... Rockstar made a great choice by affiliating with DUB.

    Archer Maclean's Mercury
    A surprisingly addictive puzzle game that not only looks great, but is also insanely deep.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    SWAT 4
    A good tactical shooter held back by a number of minor and easily resolvable errors.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
    What may be a little overwhelming for new JRPG gamers that are accustomed to today’s simple and heavily story-driven titles, Digital Devil Saga still provides one of the best old-school experiences available.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Doom 3
    With more work put into the weapons, more diverse locations and more/or smarter enemies this could have been up there with the best.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    LEGO Star Wars
    The game play is quick and addictive which should satisfy adults, and the puzzles aren't too difficult, but still put up a challenge which should appeal to children.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dynasty Warriors 5
    Improves on its predecessors in the right ways, and removes a lot of the useless features. That said, the core gameplay is still the same, and may strike some as being either repetitive or milking a series to near death.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Spikeout: Battle Street
    Sega dropped the ball on this one. Don't touch it unless you need to cure insomnia, and even then, there are ways that are more readily available and are better for your health.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Full Spectrum Warrior
    It's just a shame the actual game isn't more like the deeper, more realistic 'Army Mode' extra found in the Xbox version and not the limited, linear one we have here.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Mario Party Advance
    Lazy, downright idiotic design coupled with a staggering lack of ideas. Awful.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    Improved in practically every way. More abilities, more weapons, more gadgets and overall just more choice. Level designs offer far more options to the player and the game is simply more fun because of it.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Rayman DS
    This once fantastic platformer title has been struck down into a very sluggish and amateurish conversion and leaves us here at PALGN questioning what exactly happened?
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower
    The game itself won't last as long as we hoped it would. Yes, there's wireless multiplayer and yes, it's a nice addition to the game, but without this, this game would only really be worth a rental.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Twisted Metal: Head-On
    Twisted Metal: Head On isn't anything new, but amongst all the driving games on the PSP sometimes it is fun to play a racer than doesn't take itself so seriously.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tiger Woods PGA Tour
    Whilst this game would have been fairly recommendable six months ago, purchasing it now would be a death knell as the sequel is out next week and features more of everything.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix
    Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix could be the best Tony Hawk game ever, but we can't help but feel that the series has reached its peak now.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Spider-Man 2
    We appreciate that Activision hasn't delivered just a port, and given us an entirely new adventure, but we wish it was longer and allowed for more free roaming.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    God of War
    Superb graphics. Arguably the best on the PS2, with beautifully detailed environments, excellent character models and a silky framerate that pictures could never do justice.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ford Racing 3
    If you’ve played "Ford Racing 2" then you have essentially played Ford Racing 3. The games are practically the same except with a few new cars and some different modes. This is extremely disappointing and the game should be so much better. There is nothing in Ford Racing 3 that we haven’t seen elsewhere done much better.
