Rating: 9/10 | Unreal Tournament 3 | The most beautiful pelvic thrusts yet. |
Rating: 8.1/10 | John Woo Presents Stranglehold | Killing shouldn't be this much fun. |
Rating: 7.8/10 | The Darkness | With great power comes great brutality. |
Rating: 8.5/10 | Calling All Cars | It's like rugby but with cars, and arguably more fun. |
Rating: 7/10 | Stuntman: Ignition | If perfection through repetition is your thing, then this is your game. |
Rating: 9.2/10 | F.E.A.R. | Disturbing, strange, violent... and rather awesome. |
Rating: 8.4/10 | Battlefield 2142 | Some of the Battlefield magic just isn't quite there. |
Rating: 8.5/10 | Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 | [...] it didn't win me over right away either. Perhaps the fun is in the subtleties, or in the balance between infantry and vehicles. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 7.6/10 | Star Wars: Empire at War | [...] the few innovations aren't going to be enough to overcome the repetitive nature of the fights. |
Rating: 9/10 | Dead or Alive 4 | The fighting is now deeper and more sophisticated, and while it may not seem so at first, there is a solution to every attack. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 9.5/10 | Sid Meier's Civilization IV | While the game hasn't lost any depth or detail, every aspect of the design has been streamlined to make it easier for new players to jump in and less monotonous for veterans. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 8.5/10 | Call of Duty 2 | It's just not as fun as it might have been. |
Rating: 8.2/10 | Quake 4 | There's a lot of shiny wrapping, but the gift inside is disappointingly small. |
Rating: 9.2/10 | F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon (FEAR) | Monolith forges new shooter territory with some truly freaky elements, challenge, fun, and beauty. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 7/10 | Bet on Soldier: Blood Sport | [...] BoS is a serviceable shooter hampered by a pile of small annoyances and lack of difficulty. |
Rating: 8.7/10 | Fable: The Lost Chapters | At every turn the world feels wonderfully alive and the consequences of your actions have a real and obvious impact on the world around you. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 8.9/10 | Battlefield 2 | The thing to remember about Battlefield 2 is that it's exceptionally fun. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 9.6/10 | Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory | Brilliant visuals and animations make this one of the best looking game on the market. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 9.9/10 | Jade Empire | This isn't just a great RPG, it is also a brilliant action game that casual gamers can pick up and enjoy. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 9.1/10 | World of Warcraft | It does not blow away the genre, but it does hone it to near-perfection. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 8.7/10 | Hearts of Iron 2 | Hearts of Iron 2 is undeniably fantastic and a considerable improvement over the original game and I couldn't possibly hope to cover every aspect of the game in a single review. |
Rating: 8.8/10 | Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay | The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is an excellent hybrid of first-person shooting, adventure and RPG elements, stealth and combat. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 7.7/10 | Pacific Fighters | Though I liked IL-2 and its subsequent expansions, Pacific Fighters left me wanting more...and in a bad way. |
Rating: 9.2/10 | Sid Meier's Pirates! - Live the Life | ...the combination of ideas and experiences it contains easily make it one of the most original games of the year. |
Rating: 8.4/10 | Vampire: Bloodlines | Unfortunately, the AI has the intelligence of a doorknob sometimes, which keeps the shine off an otherwise delightful and multilayered experience. |
Rating: 9.8/10 | Halo 2 | ...the entire game, from top to bottom, is remarkably well produced, well paced and planned. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 9.7/10 | Half-Life 2 | [It will] hold you captive for serious hours of hardcore brilliance. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 9.9/10 | GTA: San Andreas | Drop everything and do it right now. This is the best PlayStation 2 game ever made. - SITE AWARD |
Rating: 6.8/10 | Men of Valor | ...the frankly simplistic combat becomes old pretty fast, a matter not helped by feeling hemmed in along a linear path, where one village tends to look like any other, as do the rivers, gulleys, and hilltops. |
Rating: 8.8/10 | Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War | The factions are balanced very well, the battles are entertaining enough to make excitable gamers pee their pants, and the pace keeps players attention stuck to the screen at all times. |
Rating: 9.4/10 | Rome: Total War | The combination of subject matter, game mechanics, and outstanding visuals add up to one of the best experiences you'll have on the PC. - SITE AWARD |

Rating: 8.9/10 | Doom 3 | It's DOOM. And it was worth the wait. |
Rating: 8.8/10 | Ground Control 2: Operation Exodus | RTS fans haven't had anything to really be happy about in a long time. Ground Control II will definitely fill the recent void nicely. |
Rating: 8.4/10 | City of Heroes | It's exciting, it's colorful, it's cute, it's brutal, and it's a great realization of comic books in MMO form. |
Rating: 8.6/10 | Thief: Deadly Shadows | Ion definitely seems to have learned from the issues it encountered in Invisible War and added a highly respectable addition to the Thief series that, while not boldly innovating, holds the franchise bar at least as high. |
Rating: 7/10 | Painkiller | Now I like Doom when it first came out and I definitely appreciate Painkiller's roots, but, having said that, games that are simple aiming exercises seem to lack a little substance when compared to more recent shooters. |
Rating: 8.2/10 | Battlefield: Vietnam | Does it bring the same overwhelming feeling of joy and freedom that the innovation of Battlefield 1942 brought to us? No. |
Rating: 8.1/10 | Silent Storm | Since most turn-based gamers aren't as concerned with particle effects and such, the real selling point is the strong and sophisticated tactical system. |
Rating: 9.3/10 | Call of Duty | You have to love a game that glues you to your seat and keeps you interested. |
