    Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
    Without the graphical chutzpah of the PC or even Xbox versions, Max feels like a deflated, stripped-down, hack of his former self. If you don’t have access to a PC or an Xbox, this is still definitely worth checking out as it’s a short but sweet experience, just know that there are far better options out there.

    Spy Hunter 2
    A shoddy sequel that does nothing to honor the original, Midway’s second Spy Hunter remake should’ve been handled by Paradigm, or at least another developer that was willing to do the series justice.

    Spawn: Armageddon
    Quite simply a bad game. Period. There’s just not enough variety in the combat to make the action entertaining, and poorly designed jumping puzzles, sloppy combat and unresponsive controls all add up to a game that won’t even keep Spawn fans entertained for more than a few seconds.

    Intellivision Lives!
    For about the price of a DVD offering a flashback look at classic gaming, you’re getting the story of the company, told by the people who were there, and then you can experience their handiwork.

    Whiplash
    There was an obvious attempt at dispensing some decent puzzles and plenty of skewed humor and while the humor works, the overall game just doesn’t.
    • 76 Metascore

    Manhunt
    A fun game that’s utterly and completely bone-chilling in some parts. If you’re old enough, this is one hunt worth going on.

    Final Fantasy X-2
    Just make sure you’ve digested "Final Fantasy X" either way and you’ll walk away from X-2 with a nice, satisfying ending.

    I-Ninja
    By the end of the game, I didn't give a crap about finding any more red coins or killing another 90 enemies, I just wanted out. To have a game transform from something fresh and enticing into another drab, boring, overworked action game is something I've not had the displeasure of watching too many times.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3
    The best game in the series. It offers more road, more opponents and more customization options than any of the TXRs that came before it, but with gameplay that’s hardly budged since the series’ inception and graphics and sound that are merely passing.
    • 85 Metascore

    Need for Speed Underground
    One of the best arcade racers to come along in years. Developer EA Black Box did an incredible job simulating speed, adding a slew of upgrade options and provided a nice (if slightly minimal) assortment of race-worthy cars.

    Midway Arcade Treasures
    For $20, you’ll be getting a fantastic collection of games and a bit of history to go with some of the bigger ones. Hopefully future collections will add a bit more in the history department, but for now, this is an admirable start.

    Legacy of Kain: Defiance
    There’s a good chance that this will be the final chapter in the series (as the ending suggests), and if it is, there’s probably no better way to close up the story and give the fans what they were looking for: closure.

    Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
    A pretty perfect example of how licensed games can go horribly wrong.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
    While Ratchet is less of a whiny little catbitchthing, the same sense of humor that the first game possessed permeates everything about the sequel, keeping it light despite more dire circumstances.

    Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde
    Tinges of monotony near the end of the game aside, there is plenty here to love, and if you’ve been searching for a good, solid real-time strategy game for consoles that succeeds in spirit where PC-to-console ports have failed, this is a rather smart buy.

    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    Uncredibly polished, brilliantly designed and just plain <I>fun</I>.
    • 87 Metascore

    SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs
    Technically more of the same without any major advances to the series, something that keeps it from being a marked advance in what the first game started...If any one area of the game got the most subtle tweaks that made the biggest difference, it’s in the graphical overhaul.

    EyeToy: Play
    Given how entertaining it is in short bursts, it&#146;s the perfect thing to bring out at parties or get-togethers, making this one of the easiest ways to rally the whole family around one of the hardest possible family-wide activities: playing video games.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    True Crime: Streets of LA
    True Crime does many, many things right, but for as many cool features that it flaunts, there&#146;s another that drags the whole experience down.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    kill.switch
    A good game that suffers from being just a bit too rough around the edges and too short overall to be a must-buy. It is however a definite rental and for anyone looking for a nice, short but visceral experience.

    Ford Racing 2
    With ranging, alluring challenges that offer tons of key rewards, all under a difficulty that feels just right, FR2 offers an outstanding but affordable package that you&#146;ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. It just may be the best ten bucks you&#146;ve ever spent.

    Tony Hawk's Underground
    Broken down, each individual part of THUG (control, music, level design, graphics, sound) is better than the games that came before it, which should add up to the best game in the series. And yet, there&#146;s something intangible that just couldn&#146;t hook me like the older games did.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Time Crisis 3
    One of the best light-gun shooters you&#146;ll find on a console. The gameplay is addictive, the GunCon2 controls are unmatched, and the overall feel of the game is just right.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    SSX 3
    Nothing short of the best snowboarding game videogames have ever seen, and while there are a few nagging problems, the presentation and execution of a massive, three peaked behemoth that you’ll try your damndest to conquer is pure gaming bliss from the moment you first drop onto the mountain.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mega Man X7
    The added elements like Axel’s powers and the Reploids that need rescuing add something new and entertaining to the mix, but with such a lackluster presentation, most of that effort gets pushed aside by and otherwise bland experience.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Jak II
    The execution may be flawed in a few ways, but the game’s adorable charm and earnest attempts to keep things fresh are just enough to make it a better game than its successor in nearly every way.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch
    But if you&#146;re looking for a poorly-assembled gimmick of a game that serves as a friendly reminder of the good ol&#146; Celebrity Deathmatch days on MTV, all for a discounted price of $19.99, then CD just might be for you. If you&#146;re not looking for authenticity, though, stay far, far away from this one.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    RoadKill
    Probably the first real unabashed "GTA" clone that manages to still work well on its own merits. Definitely worth a rental, and for those that really dig the motif, probably not a bad buy either.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Conflict: Desert Storm II - Back to Baghdad
    For now, though, it might be best to stay out of Baghdad.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown
    This is Robin Hood&#146;s curse; it's fun and frankly addictive enough to keep you playing, but after a few hours, you'll notice the freshness of the mini-games quickly giving way to endless repetition.
