    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    The graphics were amazing, and the story unfolded in a quick, action-packed manner.

    Battlefield 2: Special Forces
    Feels more like a tacked-on "fix" for some issues than a true expansion.

    Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2
    Supersonic Warriors 2 is one of those games that, at first glance, seem not worth bothering with; however, once you learn how it works and put it through its paces, it's extremely satisfying.

    Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped!
    In a post-apocalyptic GBA market saturated with reason after reason to "just buy a Nintendo DS, already," Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped! is a surprisingly solid breath of fresh air.

    Quake 4
    Quake 4 might not be broken, but it sure is boring, and if it is boring, then fix it. Id should save their tech demos for clients and think about how they can evolve their gameplay experience, not their rendering capabilities.

    Space Hack
    If anything, it has to be respected for being a filtered and extremely direct version of the Diablo-in-space formula. It may not be great or awe-inspiring, but when you need to hit things for pleasure, there it is.

    Ridge Racer 6
    If you enjoy arcade-like vehicle response, solid background music, and simplistic racing controls with heavy emphasis on air and abusive nitrous, then this title will meet all of your needs and more. If you're looking for something to replace "Forza" or "Gran Turismo," please look elsewhere.

    Perfect Dark Zero
    I tried my best to not to compare Perfect Dark Zero to "Halo" because in most ways, they are two completely different games offering two divergent experiences. I will say, however, that "Halo" is a far more polished game.

    Call of Duty 2
    The single-player experience is worth the price of admission alone and must be seen to be believed.

    America's Army: Rise of a Soldier
    Despite the dated graphics and AI, the presentation is otherwise quite good, and to top it all off, the game is pretty enjoyable.

    Pac-Man World 3
    It's a good title for kids. It controls well, the levels are interesting, and the references to Pac Man 25 years ago are respectful.

    Aeon Flux
    This release, however, is a merely average Prince of Persia clone with a bad movie sewn onto it. It may be worth investigation if you need your next wall-running fix, but don't come with high expectations.

    Earth 2160
    An extremely lengthy, deep, and beautiful strategy experience. From the very start, you'll find yourself drawn in and playing for quite a long time.

    Neopets: The Darkest Faerie
    Its gameplay mechanics are at best, boring, and at worst, snooze-worthy. If you enjoy Neopets, you may want to give this one a tentative rent, but that’s the most that I can suggest to anyone.

    Condemned: Criminal Origins
    I'd gladly pay full price for Condemned because of its ambience and atmosphere and scares. I haven't experienced a game that freaked me out this much in a long time, and that alone makes this title praiseworthy.

    Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
    Neversoft needs to seriously look at what they've done right with THAW (larger environments and skating mechanics) and strip away the fat to return Tony Hawk back to what made it great: a clean, fast, and compelling sports game for those of us who aren't so much into "sports."

    Tony Hawk's American Sk8land
    Sk8land is the best attempt yet to convert the old boy of skateboarding to a portable.

    Project Gotham Racing 3
    Saying this game looks nearly photorealistic is no understatement, as throughout most of the race, it could pass as just that.

    NHL 2K6
    The problem is that it should have been done better. This is the Xbox 360 dammit, show it some respect and put some effort into your ports people.

    Gun
    A game that has a mature storyline, bloody, and gritty action and some wide-open fun in a scary game world.

    FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup
    My biggest complaint about FIFA is its name. It simply isn’t a FIFA game, it should simply be called World Cup 06 or something that accurately describes it and distinguishes it from the game that EA wants you to believe it is when you’re buying it.

    Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
    A completely average experience that ends up being more work than fun.

    Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
    For those of you who are looking for a racing game that does not require Skip Barber's Driving School to understand, MW will prove to be a good fit.

    Madden NFL 06
    Those of you who have grown accustomed to the bonus features and covet the additional accoutrements that EA has been delivering for years will be sorely discouraged by the stripped-down feeling you will get from playing through this title's limited modes.

    Wild Arms Alter Code: F
    Wild ARMS Alter Code: F contains too many technical and presentation missteps to be considered a classic worthy of the hallowed halls of RPG Valhalla, but coasting along on story and style alone takes it far.

    Starship Troopers
    It's nice to see a publisher put in a little extra effort with the presentation of their product, which is rare these days.

    Infected
    Average; nothing special but no glaring shortcomings either; any charm might be lost to fans outside of the genre.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
    There's also a powerful shot of nostalgia for folks who grew up on NES "Dragon Warrior," as the menus are patterned after that style - and yet as usable and slick as anything you'll find in an RPG. All told, Dragon Quest VIII is one of those rare games that can be fairly called a masterpiece.

    Pac-Man World 3

    Shadow the Hedgehog
    The new ideas they've had work surprisingly well - sure, the hero has a gun, but it's a gun that works fluidly and effectively. The only problem is that the rest of the game has been dressed up in an attitude that really doesn't fit the franchise in the least, and then further marred by graphical inadequacy and unpleasant sound.
