    Mortal Kombat: Deception
    The online play, chess kombat, puzzle kombat, arcade mode and Konquest mode will be enough to keep most gamers entertained for hours.

    SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom
    With the wonderful "Street Fighter 3" and "Guilty Gear X2 Reload" on the Xbox, there's really no need to even touch this despite its low price.

    Crash Twinsanity
    Sure the character combination of Crash and Cortex is different and the humour makes for a welcome change, but aside from that the game is still very familiar and hasn't even evolved nearly as much as it should have.

    Shadow Hearts: Covenant
    It features everything that makes a great RPG great, and offers a lot more that many don't. Shadow Hearts: Covenant is one of the unexpected surprises of the year.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Donkey Konga
    The game play in Donkey Konga isn't as good as we were hoping. There is a severe lack of a proper long game mode which means that often the game didn't hold our attention for more than half an hour.

    Monster Hunter
    If you want an online dungeon crawler with a decent atmosphere, nice visuals and repetitive but social and sometimes exciting action, this will do nicely. Don't bother for offline only play.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Blood Will Tell
    The game features some fantastic ideas, but most of that is kicked in the arse with the terrible execution of important game elements that actually make games good – graphics, sound and camera issues, for example.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Second Sight
    With some nice powers and a good blend of stealth and action, topped off a great story, Second Sight is a good venture into the unique from Free Radical.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
    The best real-time strategy for a long time. If you have been searching for a real-time strategy game your search is over, whether you are a Warhammer 40,000 fan or not.

    Star Wars: Battlefront
    With the stunning visuals and audio sections of the game it’s somewhat of a treat for Xbox gamers to witness. Sadly, Battlefront is hurt greatly because of a lack of effort put into the game’s AI and overall single player production.

    Gradius V
    Quite simply put - this is the finest horizontal shooter on the PlayStation 2. In fact, it’s the finest horizontal shooter on any of the next-generation systems.

    ShellShock: Nam '67
    An enjoyable gameplay experience - but it's all over far too soon.

    Sly 2: Band of Thieves
    In two years the game has evolved from being a shallow linear platformer to a lengthy, creative and mesmorising title.

    Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury
    But those wanting an action/adventure game that offers all the elements needed to create the perfect adventure title will be sadly disappointed.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Fable
    Fable has its fair share of problems – the length of the main story, primarily – but it has so many fun and unique elements that will draw you deep into the world of Albion you can't help but love it.

    Guilty Gear X2 #Reload
    Stunning use of sprites on both the fighters and the backgrounds. Excellent character design combined with some visually appealing backgrounds make GGX2:Reload one of the best looking 2D games ever.

    Pokemon FireRed Version
    Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green are two magnificent games that pull off an amazing remake of two of the greatest titles in the franchise, however, I felt that there was a lot of room for improvement.

    Silent Hill 4: The Room
    Its well implemented concepts of both first person and third person perspectives and its centralisation between an apartment and an alternative world offer a rare kind of gameplay experience.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Burnout 3: Takedown
    Takes "Burnout 2," completely reworks it, adds a stack of variety, speeds up the game play, introduces more modes to take full advantage of the crashes and never stops sending out the challenges. It is the arcade racer to own, bar none.

    Terminator 3: The Redemption
    While nothing particularly special is definitely the best Terminator game for a long time.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
    If you like an RPG with an element of sci-fi and don't mind being smacked around a lot in battles, then Star Ocean is certainly an RPG for you.

    ESPN NHL 2K5
    The additions of the Party Mode and Dream Team Mode, along with the actual gameplay tweaks are enough to make this the strongest hockey title ever.

    Pikmin 2
    Polished, addictive, imaginative, and fun.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    WWE Day of Reckoning
    A huge disappointment. After "Wrestlemania 19" I was really expecting something special from this, but it retains everything that was bad about that game and merely covers them over with prettier graphics and a few new modes. Time to continue praying again for the return of AKI.

    Sudeki
    Sudeki had a lot of potential. It has been in development for a few years now and looks great visually but is let down by a slow start.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Tales of Symphonia
    A fantastically deep and satisfying fantasy world.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Mario Golf: Advance Tour
    Simply amazing. From the enjoyable story mode to the multiplayer the game just sounds, looks and plays terrifically.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
    A great suprise game only really let down by the latter couple of levels and some shoddy voicework.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sonic Advance 3
    We can't help but feel a little disappointed by Sonic Advance 3. There's nothing really wrong with the game, it's just feeling like Sega are treating this game like an EA update, with a few roster changes and minor enhancements. This feels more like Sonic 2.5 than a full fledged sequel.
