    Shadow of Rome
    While the idea of mixing weapons based brutality with careful tiptoeing stealth may have been the result of having one too many at the pub, it certainly comes off much better than expected. Well worth a look.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Death by Degrees
    It would have worked better as a unlockable inclusion in "Tekken 5," rather than a standalone game.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Champions: Return to Arms
    An improvement over Champions of Norrath, but just doesn't do enough to separate itself from the other games which have preceded it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Playboy: The Mansion
    Average. Not exactly bad, but not any good, either.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
    Feels like a movie rather than a game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Zoo Keeper
    The dark horse of the DS launch, Zoo Keeper is a smart, endearing puzzler that can engulf hours at a time.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The Punisher
    On the surface it looks like a really good game, but after about half an hour it becomes repetitive and a little dull.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The Getaway: Black Monday
    Full of glitches, boring modes and a poor frame-rate at times. We have given it exactly the same score as "DRIV3R" and who actually enjoyed that game? Avoid it and you’ll be happy, and we’ll be happy.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Resident Evil 4
    The best game of this generation, nothing more needs to be said.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
    A game that you must play at all costs.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Mercenaries
    The type of game which could rack the fifty hour limit and still force you to come back and blow stuff up because it's just that damn enjoyable.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
    One of our biggest concerns about Mech Assault 2 is the lifespan. It is a bigger and more expansive game than its predecessor, but the game can still be over really quickly.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Tiger Woods PGA Tour
    A far cry from the quality we've come to expect from the series over the years.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Sprung
    Sprung is a missed opportunity. Who knew dating could be so boring?
    • 28 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Ping Pals
    Ping Pals is like paying for a trial sample of chips, you get the same thing, but you paid for it.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ridge Racer DS
    It's a missed opportunity weighed down by cumbersome and lacklustre design. The multiplayer provides some fun, but with Mario Kart on it's way, it's worth neither the hassle or expense.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
    I was a little disappointed when I finished it, because I wanted more. A great game that shouldn't be passed up by any Kingdom Hearts fan.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mario Party 6
    While the game offers one of the best mixes of gameplay out of the entire series, I still can't deny that the outdated visuals and audio is really starting to hurt the series.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits
    An addictive game, but nothing we haven't seen before.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
    You can't deny the fun the platforming and the combat brings. But that's really all it brings now. It's merely a game you 'play' rather than an adventure you 'experience'.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Super Mario 64 DS
    With a lengthy single player adventure and 3 dozen mini-games to enjoy, Super Mario 64 DS is well worth the cash, despite its minor control issues.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Viewtiful Joe 2
    While Viewtiful Joe 2 is more of an extension of the first game than a true sequel, there's no denying that there's some top quality gaming available here.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
    The captivating storyline and uniquely brilliant gameplay make this arguably the best game on the PS2.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Asphalt: Urban GT
    A quality title that suffers from the fact that it had to be a little rushed. However, the fast game play and addictive career mode kept us coming back.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Call of Duty: Finest Hour
    It’s not worth the trouble when there’s greater wartime FPS out there or coming up.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3
    The game is extremely fast.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Feel the Magic: XY/XX
    It is good to see such a wacky game being released out of Japan, it just isn't as good as we wanted it to be.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Spider-Man 2
    Obviously a game that was rushed out of development way too early.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Crash 'N' Burn
    It really grows on you though and once it does it becomes highly addictive.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space
    Custom soundtracks and Xbox Live support (any form of it) would have bumped this score up to an eighty, but as it stands we feel that Microsoft may have rushed this out a bit to soon.
