    From a graphical perspective, Insomniac continues to amaze me with their vibrant worlds that just explode with color.

    The best wrestling game on the market for any platform.

    The one other element that just makes this game so damn fun to play is the heist movie feel.

    Up Your Arsenal may be the best game on the PlayStation 2. This is "Mario 64" level quality folks. If you own a PS2 and don't play this game, I'll come to your house personally with a Sheepinator and remove you from the gaming gene pool.

    I honestly can’t fathom going back to driving a car in the next installment of "Grand Theft Auto" – the world is just so much cooler when you can explore the whole city, meaning everything up in the air as well. Manhattan becomes a giant jungle gym for Spider-Man to play in, and it is a blast.

    The minigames are easily one of the high-lights of the game.

    Offers gamers a quality racing title with weapons, and the ability to keep players' attention for years.

    It brings everything from the Playstation HAWK 2 and crams it onto Nintendo’s portable.
    • Metascore: 82

    With the game’s ability to trade and battle with friends, plus incredible amount of Pokemon to capture and train, you won’t be putting these two down anytime soon.

    As I played through the game there was no slowdown and everything looked crisp and just right.

    The best Sonic game released since "Sonic CD."

    The sound is phenomenal.

    The big improvement over the PlayStation game is the laws that govern each battlefield... It helps diversify the battles quite a bit and keeps things interesting.

    The levels are huge now. While they were pretty big before, they were basically straight forward. Not anymore.
    • Metascore: 89

    One of the best games to hit the market this year, portable or otherwise.
    • Metascore: 94

    While the game might be old - it's still one of the best games ever made. [Grade = A+]

    Perhaps the game with the longest playtime of any released in this series, ZELDA not only features a long quest, but a Master Quest that doubles the length of the game.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 100
    Probably one of the best looking games on the Xbox, no questions asked.
    • Metascore: 94

    This is the best game to be released this year, even eclipsing "Wind Waker." [Grade = A+]

    The most interesting mode is a capture the flag type mode. I love it in first-person shooters so it only makes sense that I would love it here. While there is some lag in multiplayer games, it isn’t enough to make the game unplayable.
    • Metascore: 91
    • Critic Score 100
    One of the best, most challenging games ever made. Ninja Gaiden is as close to perfect as a game can get. The game sports cutting edge graphics, great sound and the best fighting engine that has ever been created.

    This is a game that needs to be played on Surround Sound (Pro Logic) or with a good set of headphones. It needs to be loud in the room, and it needs to be dark. It should be like any good horror movie.

    Probably the best racer currently on the Xbox. While the game does have a few flaws here and there, if you have any interest in racing at all, don't look any further than this.

    Home Field Advantage is huge in this game, and momentum for INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS is just as large. In one game, my QB had a half where he completed two passes, and then a second half where he tossed six touchdowns. It’s amazing the difference in your players based on confidence level and that all feeds off of home field advantage.

    The graphics are stunning, especially some of the effects on your visor. From steam fogging it and forming condensation, to water running off of it, there are a lot of cool visual effects. The morph ball transition is seamless and gorgeous.

    There's quite a bit of value in the title. Tons of subquests, and a second quest after you complete it, but the main run-through is just not as satisfactory as Ocarina's was.

    Another giant step for this relatively young series.

    A fabulous game. The way it submerges you in George Lucas' universe and takes you on a wild ride is unmatched.

    Its great controls, super-realistic physics and astounding graphics will leave you searching for a towel.
