    P.T.O. IV: Pacific Theater of Operations
    The hands-off battles and overall lack of challenge make this game feel somewhat like a very long, yet entertaining book that's totally lacking a climax.

    Lords of the Realm II
    I did however find the resource maps and graphics to be confusing. When looking at the resource map you can't tell right away which industries are on or off. You can get this info from the map legend but think the map could have been a bit clearer.

    Rayman 2 Revolution
    If you own the Dreamcast version, then there's far too much overlap to warrant owning this as well.

    Flanker 2.0
    To sum up my feelings about Flanker 2.0, consider this. "Flanker 1" has been on my hard drive for getting on for 4 years. I doubt very much whether Flanker 2.0 will remain on my system for 4 months.

    NHL 2005
    While the game's is an improvement over the 2004 edition, it's still not quite up to snuff.

    Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup
    One part hockey, one part soccer and one part pure fantasy, Quidditch World Cup may not have the draw or the depth of Madden, but it is still plenty of fun to play.

    Sword of the Stars
    If you're coming to Sword of the Stars from titles like "Galactic Civilizations," things may seem stripped down... but "focused" is a more accurate way to look at it.

    Pokemon FireRed Version
    Disappointingly, the presentation isn't updated as much as we'd expect. GBA owners are accustomed to better visuals, and the music remains painfully strident.

    Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
    You get to impale, slash, fry, freeze and shatter zombies (all with a reliable and smooth camera that smartly scales and keeps track of the action), stomp on vermin in search of wine and money, watch the barmaid all but fall out of her blouse, and track down the scum-buckets who ripped you off in the first place.

    Shadow Man: 2econd Coming
    One thing that has not changed is the game's unparalleled sense of atmosphere...But its faults cannot be overlooked, and though supremely entertaining, it has failed to carry the baton that its prequel held so loftily.

    Worms: Open Warfare
    Going at it with other players in Open Warfare is definitely enjoyable, but going solo against the computer is rather mundane.

    Break 'Em All
    Some sort of tutorial mode covering all the new features would have been nice, but all-in-all, what's here is a good little time-waster. If you're looking for a break from the mundane, give it a spin.

    2002 FIFA World Cup
    Certain key footballers like Beckham, Owen, Carlos or Figo have been designated as star players, granting them extra abilities like speed, strike power, free kick magic or skill on the ball. This prevents most of the matches ending too predictably.

    Spy Hunter 2
    Is SpyHunter a fun, playable game? Definitely. Is it an improvement over the last one? Sure, but it's still too "samey" overall, and it's certainly a better success on the single-player front.

    FIFA Soccer 08
    A satisfactory update to the franchise, but still has yet to really hit its stride on the next-gen platforms. It took the FIFA team years to get it right on the PS2. Let's hope we don't have to wait quite so long for this FIFA to reach its amazing potential.

    Blood Will Tell
    Despite the lack of visual polish, we still had a good time dashing through the game, largely because of the fast-paced combo system.

    Sky Odyssey
    One of the most innovative and enjoyable titles of 2000.

    Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
    Its pretty-but-oldish look fits perfectly with its gothic subject matter, and its random room generation gives it some good bang-for-your-buck replay.

    Beach Spikers: Virtua Beach Volleyball
    Not a bad game, but fans hoping for a successor to the "Virtua Tennis" series will likely be a bit disappointed. This game just isn't as much fun or as well put together as the venerable tennis series.

    Maximo: Ghosts to Glory
    Featuring similar hack and slash gameplay, which has an uncanny knack of being addictive due to its frustrating nature, Maximo is a title that may appeal more to old-school gamers.

    Rise of the Kasai
    It's a shame that the initial cooperative multiplayer scheme for Rise of the Kasai was dropped as it could have elevated a solid sequel into an exceptional one.

    Kirby Star Allies
    Kirby Star Allies is a fun, but short romp that doesn't do much to push the franchise forward.

    Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis
    There's simply not that much to say. After all, it's freakin' ping pong.

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    A slightly ropy control system, and disappointing length let us down on what is otherwise a truly enjoyable experience. Flipendo!

    Chaos Legion
    Although its replay value leaves a bit to be desired, Chaos Legion is still a decent brawler with some clever combat and stylish visuals.

    The Bard's Tale
    If there were a more advanced game behind the excellent writing, The Bard's Tale could have been one of the highest rated RPGs this year. The Bard's sarky one-liners, foul mouth, and rampant chauvinism make every cutscene and conversation entertaining and frequently laugh-out-loud funny.

    Killzone: Liberation
    Killzone isn't able to fulfill its own potential in the end. More variety in the gameplay would make this the killer app it's ready to become.

    Tales of Phantasia
    It's certainly a deep, well-made blast from the past, but its pacing issues can't be easily discounted.

    Outlaw Golf
    There's a detailed enough golfing sim hidden underneath and one that is likely to be long-lasting as a competitive game, relying as good cutthroat titles do on balanced amounts of skill and luck.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    Is Harry Potter a good game? No, not particularly. The story's vague and badly realized; the characters aren't especially likeable, and the tasks you're given are tedious and involve a lot of plodding about Hogwarts. But does it capture the feel of the franchise? Absolutely, and if you really get involved in the game you'll forgive it its flaws.
