    Spawn: Armageddon
    Not that simple-minded action isn't worth some time, but Spawn just feels like it's mired in the past, with simple platforming, basic attack combos and a few collectibles to string you along. After a while, with eyes blurry from too much same-y destruction, Spawn just felt like "Bad Dudes" dragged kicking and screaming into 3D.

    Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix
    The addition of Xbox Live and the fact that you can play with four players in battle mode means that owners of both PS2 and Xbox should definitely be leaning towards this one.

    Beyond Good & Evil
    Packed with atmosphere, accessible gameplay and sweet visuals, Beyond Good & Evil has most definitely reached beyond our expectations. Don't miss it.

    Kya: Dark Lineage
    Dropping the boomerang in favor of the stronger hand-to-hand combat or some other model might have been a good idea, but it's nice to see the extreme sports influence integrated into the fabric of a totally non-sports title.

    Whiplash
    Whiplash's style takes it a long way; hell, any title with the power to make PETA smile and fume at the same time has got something going.

    XIII
    It's not a failure by any means, but feels mostly like a fun afternoon (or more) spent watching pulpy spy and war flicks.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    XIII
    A pulpy, good time. Just don't expect to come back after completion for any particularly inspired level design or captivating combat.

    Manhunt
    Its linearity and concentration on stealth is quite a contrast to the open freedom of the GTA games. Its explicit violence can be gimmicky, but it fits so well with the theme that nobody could (or should, at any rate,) call it gratuitous.

    Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
    The difficulty level is impressively even, remaining challenging enough to hold the attention, but rarely crossing too far into frustration.

    Final Fantasy X-2
    A cheaply made, cost-effective sequel to "FFX" that reuses the graphics, characters, enemies, and areas to create a mostly new gameplay experience. You might love it, you might really, really hate it - or, like us, you might be torn... [Import]

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    The graphics look great, the interface works a treat and the additions, while minor, fit well. Clearly a lot of work has gone into making the game feel like it was meant to be on PC.

    Battlestar Galactica
    If the difficultly was a bit more consistent and mission parameters more forgiving, then Battlestar Galactica could have been a massive hit. As-is, the game is sure to please fans of the license, but those looking for something deeper will likely be disappointed.

    I-Ninja
    Super-serious types who regularly dust their Ninja Scroll collections might have problems with its goofy, irreverent tone, but pure gamers will find a lot of pure fun.

    Secret Weapons Over Normandy
    Its instant accessibility, great overall presentation and tremendous historical feel make this game a secret worth spreading.

    Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds
    A top-notch action title that captures the depth of a turn-based card game. Open-minded Magic fans and tactical action gamers should check it out.

    Counter-Strike
    The core gameplay, while striking less of an impact than in its heyday, is still a solid, addicting experience. The instantly accessible gameplay and well-crafted balance between arcade feel and realism make it a recommendable online game.

    Project Gotham Racing 2
    The perfect sequel: a successful gameplay formula with some minor tweaks, together with a great big pile of new content and features. The multiplayer and other online additions are a big step forward.

    NHL Rivals 2004
    It's gorgeous. The uniforms look like cloth (meaning they aren't shiny), while the ice and the plastic visors shine like the real thing. The physics are exciting and, because of the realism, the hits feel more devastating.

    Whiplash
    There's a lot of twisted humor to warm the hearts of players.

    Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds
    The graphics and sound are as solid as the strategy. They didn't quite match the card game's distinctive art style, but most avid players will be able to identify each creature at a glance.

    Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior
    It's just a better-than-okay game with some great dramatic elements, some decent mechanics, and some notable downsides. Only Warhammer aficionados need scramble to the game store for this one.

    EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers
    While the hardcore will likely turn up their noses, preferring the likes of "Everquest," "Star Wars Galaxies" or "Final Fantasy Online," those who simply want an easier and more instantly gratifying entry into the massively multiplayer arena will find Frontiers to be a perfect fit.

    Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
    The plot, graphics and general fun of discovery should be enough to keep you happy despite the fact that 12 hours is about all the time it'll take you to complete the game.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Need for Speed Underground
    That break-the-mold game that longtime players of the franchise have been waiting for. And if you're already a street-rag reader, you have permission and reason to drool - just keep it off the AirFlow controller, please.
