    Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu
    Taiketsu does not live up to the bar put in place by its sister series, Budokai. It does not have the same polish in it's gameplay, and it definitely does not have the frantic feeling of the epic battles that took place in the original comic or T.V. series.

    Anito: Defend a Land Enraged
    I would say the strength of this game definitely lies in its story telling.

    Beyond Good & Evil
    A great story that is worth playing through at least twice, of course when a game is this good, you always want more.

    Looney Tunes: Back in Action
    A more-than-perfect gift for the kiddies, and a solid rental at the very least for older people who, like me, still love the Looney Tunes characters.

    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
    A slight disappointment. While it continues on the storyline, and brings back some familiar characters, it just fails to improve on an existing idea. All of the new ideas which were created specifically for this game just don't really cut it.

    Kya: Dark Lineage
    Its gameplay is tight and varied at times to keep you involved and challenged but not frustrated.

    Whiplash
    It's not insta-classic material, but it is a fun game that exhibits solid gameplay and a good sense of humor.

    XIII
    A pretty easy game to let go and move on from.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    XIII
    Most who manage to make it through to the end-credits of XIII will likely do so due to its consistently interesting and engaging storyline.

    Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance
    One of the slight problems I had with this game was the difficulty. At many points in this game the difficulty got to be very testing. At times it seems like you are being swarmed by enemies, and some parts may take a lot of practice to get through.

    Manhunt
    Just plain fun. I haven't been this addicted to a game in some time, and I'm looking forward to wrapping up this review so I can get back to playing it.

    Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
    An awesome game. It flexes great graphics despite being limited by PS2's hardware and multiplatform snags. The only major weakness to this game is the lack of multiplayer.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    No other Star Wars game, including "Star Wars Galaxies," has done a better job of completely immersing you in the Star Wars universe. It's impossible to finish the game without somehow feeling like your actions have made a difference.

    I-Ninja
    A delightful mix of different gameplay elements.

    Secret Weapons Over Normandy
    Though SWON can be a little linear and two-dimensional (in a console-kinda way), it succeeds in being fun and gives you an immersive (if romanticized) jaunt through the terrifying and fascinating world of flight during WW2.

    Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds
    Magic players might like it as a diversion from the card game, or they might hate it with it's dumbing down and changing of the rules.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3
    Essentially the same game that was put out for Dreamcast. The graphics might be better, the sound certainly isn't, but the gameplay is in tact and sprinkling of a lame story about street racing leaves much to be desired.

    Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
    Yet another badly made isometric Gameboy Advance game; yet another below-average action game. Why developers don't put their hearts into what they create, I'll never know.

    Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon
    It has wonderful atmosphere, and wonderful graphics, but the gameplay just isn't as strong as it should be, especially for a rail shooter. Also, the enemy patterns are not very well crafted.

    • 30 Critic Score
    Mucha Lucha! Mascaritas of the Lost Code
    Just a very, very bad game. The included battery save feature is about the only good thing about it, since it means that you can shut the game off without fear that you'll have to retread the same boring levels next time you pick it up.

    Counter-Strike
    Easily one of the best on-line titles for Xbox and is still one of the most fun and addicting games out there. Valve could have done a lot more with this title, specially in the off-line modes, but as it is, it is still a fine game, assuming you have XBL.

    Project Gotham Racing 2
    Some of the best graphics of any game to date, especially when compared to other racing games, but this time around the eye candy comes coupled with compelling, entertaining gameplay that is simply a blast to play.

    NHL Rivals 2004
    Simply fails to deliver what the player has paid for, which is as unforgivable as giving up a goal with ten seconds left in the period.
    • 82 Metascore

    Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
    Even strictly offline as it is, Metal Arms is a damned fine game, combining an actual, real challenge with an idiosyncratic sense of humor and a sense of scale that's all too often AWOL in console releases.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds
    The mediocre graphics bring the quality of the game down somewhat, and, while the need for frantic strategies will probably keep you playing, the lack of any sort of selection of different game modes may reduce Battlegrounds to being a rental, at best.

    NBA Inside Drive 2004
    No basketball game before has represented the NBA quite like this, and this game should definitely not be missed.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    XIII
    It's not too often a game comes around that breathes new life into a genre. But I think that's just what XIII has done. With a little creativity and determination, Ubisoft has succeeded in creating an interactive comic book.

    Secret Weapons Over Normandy
    By no means a stand out in the genre, SWON does a decent job of providing a fun WWII shooter that is easily accessible to all.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    The most striking aspect of this game is the unity of its high production values. No corners were cut on this project. While most games excel at one aspect and falter in another, POP strives to achieve in every aspect.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
    It's not exactly teeming with innovation, but it is fun enough to warrant at least a rental for those interested.
