Doom 3
Overall: dark, gloomy and scary are three words to describe this scary shooter, great fun alone in a dark room, with the surround sound crankedGameplay: fun at first, but it gets bland, run into a room, its locked, go back to the other room, stuff jumps out at you and chases you, you run, and get a key, kill, then go back and something else jumps at you... reapeat
Graphics: wow, this is where the game shines, on pc and xbox, sadly enough, the game was seriously degrated from the PC version
Audio: i loved everything except the gun sounds... the shotgun could have used a lot more bass, thats why the pc version has sound packs you can add, but everything else is good
Suggestions: work on gameplay
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Overall: a outstanding RPG set a long time before the orginal episodes of star wars, such a great game, a learning experiance, and a load of funGameplay: not your standard RPG, its a new system of real time/ role playing... i dont know how to describe it, you play as you go i guess
Graphics: good, but not great, some places look great, while others lack polish, but it doesnt take away from the game itself
Audio: great authentic star wars sounds and voices, very well put together. not rushed, and very polished.
Suggestions: give me another one quick!

Azurik: Rise of Perathia
Overall: the world is endanger and you need to help free perathia, sounds good right? wrong... stay away from this gameGameplay: hack and slash, no skill at all... hell, you get lucky even if you hit someone... plus it takes about a minute to kill one enemy... this is supposed to be an adventure game... not and RPG
Graphics: bleh graphics... it looks this gen, but definately horrible, not for us graphic lovers, needs more shine
Audio: bland and boring, there are a few cool songs, kinda like morrowind, but the voice acting is all the same, same actions and same words
Suggestions: dont make anouther one
Overall Score: 2.0 / 10
Halo 2
Overall: sequel to halo 2, dual weilding new maps story and so forth, nice single player very sexy multiplayerGameplay: run and gun, little stratagy but the game shines with online multiplayer, split screen gets kinda cramped, so stick with live
Graphics: one of the best looking games on xbox, nice bumpmapping but the game needs another layer of anti aliasing...badly
Audio: great for DD5.1 owners... get every grunt from an elite and every shot from every gun from any angle imaginable
Suggestions: it needs to be more skill full... wayy less auto aim next time
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Project Gotham Racing 2
Overall: this is a racing game that uses both style and speed...but for the most part, you
cant do both...its like this, you like a little
kudos, you like a little more speed...can
have some in between but not if your
racing for platinum metals...
this great game is online and is tons of
fun there...but it shines both online and
off, ive played much much much more
offline to get more kudos tokens to get
more cars
great game...a must buy for ANY race
fan...much better then original
Gameplay: this is an in your face racer, its a little
more on the arcade-y side but that the
way i like it...i personally cant stand SEGA
GT's controls...way to stiff.....its the
perfect blend between the two..
basically you have 4 modes, Kudos world
series, Arcade racing, online and instant
action
kudos world series is where you can
choose your own car in a series of races
per car class....once you finish
that...(which is more then a 30+ hour
expeirance) you still have tons more to
do...the arcade racing contains 3 modes-
street race, time trial, and cone
challange..each has 20 races that gives
you a car to complete each challage, thats
60 races....and o boy...that tacks on a
huge amount of time
Instant action just puts you into a game
while you pick your car..."kudos dont
count, its just for fun here" - game manual
online is just as fun...the people are real
and even more challanging...except one
thing A.I. cant do....is cause some road
rage...this is where i think its fun :)
also there are other things you can do
besides plain races.. you can also play
different types of games... like cat and
mouse.. where each team has 1 or 2 mini
coopers while the rest are ultimate cars
like the saleen S7 or Ferrai Enzo Farrai (tee
hee) the first mini cooper/s to finish
win...while the other cars try to make the
other team finish last
MUST BUY THIS GAME!
Graphics: simply the best ive ever seen in any racing
game EVER! the real time reflections of the
cars while they gleem from the shining
sun above... they have so much detail....i
noticed that in the porche chayyane...you
can see the shadows INSIDE THE CAR! its
that amazing....
if you put the camera down in a first
person view....you can see the amazing
bump mapped streets that are accuratly
'vibrated"... let me explain....when your on
a cobble stone road.. your controller will
shake like how your car would on it...and
it even gets faster as you test your cars
high end
the back drops are great too! tons of
citys..so i dont get bored with the average
2-3 cities....
but my one complaint is that its kinda
hard to see the apex of the turn at
night....espicially when your lights get
punched out
which brings me to my next point...the
damage is the best ive seen...you have to
see it to belive it....
as i said before
BUY THIS GAME!
Audio: I love the car sounds...except those
!&%$@#* ed ferraris and their squealing
sounds...but i think they accurately
depicted the american muscle car sound
as for the music, i rarely hear the same
song over again...it reminds me of vice
city...you can tune into differnt radio
stations....even when you pop in a CD
(your own music tracks) they will even skip
if you catch some air or go on two wheels
and land hard
excellent overal
Suggestions: hurry up with that DLC!
i heard a whole new city is avalible...which
should add maybe 10+ hours to the whole
game....along with a whole new car lineup
maybe when the enzo ferrari gets
surpassed by a new car....we can
download it...and show those PS2 fans
why a hard drive rocks
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Spy Hunter
Overall: Its a gun toting missle grinding fast moving car chasing after enemys, very exciting concept, and it fun at first Gameplay: you chase bad buys and shoot them down, but what really drives me nuts is that you have to beat all these certain missions to advance, and it makes me mad! but other then that its pretty fun
Graphics: so so,it has a bad indication of least common denominator (ps2) and could need some updating, but wont take away from the gameplay
Audio: so so again, no DD 5.1 and the sound effects seem to be kinda bland, no big explosions a la mech assault and no a good rubber sound al la project gotham racing
Suggestions: dont make it so repetitive
Overall Score: 7.0 / 10
Midnight Club 2
Overall: your in the city, racing illegally and crashing through streets zooming through red lights and bumping and grinding your way to the finish lineGameplay: you underground race, meaning you meet guys in the street and race em, same concept on live, even though they dearly needed vehicle customation to make the races more fair
Graphics: EXCELLANTE! very nice to see a game with nice graphics, although some people think they can look kinda dopey, they look nice and everything shines and glimers
Audio: the tracks are a nice blend of some hip hop and techno, you get to know some of the songs, but some of them get !&%$@#* ed annoying, cars sound really nice though....4.5 just because of some of the music
Suggestions: custimation
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind
Overall: This is the biggest RPG EVER! the gameplay is so wide ended, you can just steal from people and make money or do the quests and be a VAMPIRE! yes vampire!Gameplay: its an RPG, so you can expect lots of text, but you dont have to read it all, also the other interesting part is that you can transistion between 1st and 3rd person, which shows off your cool armor, but doesnt work well in combat
Graphics: Very excellent, the layout is very nice, and the art is great, it took some talanted artists to divise this creatures and everything, even though the character models could use some work...ill give it a 4.5
Audio: Simply the BEST, im running a great 5.1 system, you can hear creatures sneak up on you and the weather effects are AMAZING, it just makes for a perfect experiance, you can even hear peoples voices come from the front and then to the back as you run past them
Suggestions: weird bugs need fixing, like the sword of fury, dont ever equip this sword! it will make your armor stats go to 0!
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
Overall: the best game on xbox since halo, the tough, intense indoor battles, with automatic guns firing and granades burning up those stupid terrorists....this is rainbow 6....Gameplay: Its all about stealth and accuracy, even while playing in co-op with a bunch of friends, if you rush through the level like in wolfenstien and halo, you'll get screwed without even gettin a kiss. so take your time, peak around every corner....be like the rainbow
(BWBWAHAHA that was cheezy)
Graphics: ahhhh lush lush lush! all i can say, everything is shiny and bumpmappy...the shadows are put to very nice use, one of the best looking games out on DA box NAW MEAN!?!?!?! if you want to impress your friends, this is a title to do it with.
Audio: its simply the best, with DD 5.1 you hear the bullets behind you, and oniline its even more intense...dont turn it up to loud or you might crap your pants, and the voice through the headset is simply awsome....ooooo so awsome!
Suggestions: nothing at the point, keep up the good work, and make sure to have lots of DLC!
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Blinx: The Time Sweeper
Overall: a great platform game, if you are looking for a good game to pull out the rest of your almost bald gaming head, get this gameGameplay: this game is cool, it is geared twords younger gamers because of blinx being a cat, but i love kitties
Graphics: awsome graphics, bump-mapping and the use of the hardrive is amazing, while some of the bad guys look kinda weird there cool i guess
Audio: the sound is good, nice effects, the music can get repetitive but it is fine, other than that fantastic
Suggestions: fix the camera
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
Genma Onimusha
Overall: its a horror hack and slasher...but it dosent scare me at all....but some parts kinda get ya.....great fun! Gameplay: well its a hack and slasher and you kill monsters....sounds lame but in fact it isnt...um..lets see sometimes the bosses are harder than hell
Graphics: not very good but the cut seens dont look so bad, could has uped the anny on the ps2 like graphics

Suggestions: perfect
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Unreal Championship
Overall: A first person shooter that is very very fast paced...its like nothing out there. but it is tons of fun once you get the hang of it!Gameplay: its a first person shooter thats like nothing other... they have cool guns but is a little to fast paced for the average shooter audience
Graphics: great graphics, with tons of bump mapping but the graphics are pulled down from the extremely terrible frame rate...but after the new patch it has gotton a lot better
Audio: the sound is fine really, i havnt played the game in a long time, so i think it was cool, i just know it didnt get repetitive and kinda got me stoked
Suggestions: not so fast paced please
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO
Overall: i rented it so i didnt have a chance to use everyone but when i played i liked it because i like 2-d fighters and i like arcades, great gameGameplay: well its just like in the arcades, you beat each other up and do all these cool moves, not like doa3 at all to let ya know, great game
Graphics: this looks good for a 2d fighter, EXCEPT the characters have extremely low resulotion and the back grounds have a very high resolution...not bad overall
Audio: sound is just like the arcade. i would have to say some on of the characters there winning "acts" get really annoying because they say and do the same thing...over and over
Suggestions: um, the people online are really cheap, they get you in a coner and keep kicking them so the other person loses,
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
NBA 2K2
Overall: it is a very tioght b-ball game, the graphics are better then its brother nfl 2k2 and the controls are tioght, the sound is tioght, but it is harder then heck!Gameplay: well not much of a discription here except for that fact that you shoota basketball into a hoop and stuff, but this game makes it very very tricky
Graphics: its ok, not the best not the worst, you can reconize the players by there faces and the replays are awsome!
Audio: i guess its ok, i never really paided attention to that detail, but i guess its sounds ok so a 5 is in order and i dont care who knows it
Suggestions: eh, your doing good...i got this when 2k3 was out so do good with 2k4
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
World Series Baseball (Sega)
Overall: its one of the best baseball games i have ever played, the best is RBI basebal for the NES...anyhow this game rocks, everything you could think of, except online is there, one downfall is its only 2 playerGameplay: just like base ball with not twists of any sort, just good old clean fun...this game is kinda complicated so beware little kids!
Graphics: great looking baseball game, best on any system, from anytime in history, if you look to drool over graphics this is your base ball game
Audio: its pretty good but it does get repetitve after a while, but you get used to it, i guess its better than that ridge racer game...bah
Suggestions: nope
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
Sega GT 2002
Overall: its a driving sim like gt3 but its kinda cooler and has tioghter controls and is very ADDICTIVE!, a good buy supposeGameplay: well its a racing sim, you earn cash, buy new cars, parts ect. but once you get a collection of cars and max them out the game gets LAME! like my lotus collection!
Graphics: GREAT! photo realistic cars and stuff, really cool, all the cars a mapped just right! better then PGR IMO
Audio: LAME....its so lame! the music just sucks, but the car sounds are very cool indeed. good thing i have my Fast and Furious soundtrack saved on to me xbox
Suggestions: online should be cool
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War
Overall: this game is awsome, axis vs. allies classic action, i have always wanted a war game like medal of honor, but this is online so i got this! must buy!Gameplay: axis vs. allies this is a must have first person shooter, the online can sometimes be laggy but just search for a green server and youll be fine....must buy
Graphics: great, explosions are great, character models look fine, nothing is really bad except for some trucks in the game have kinda sqaure wheels...THAT ALLWAYS ANNOYS ME! but its not bad since you dont spend much time next to vehicles
Audio: great sound, nazi's screaming, monsters groaning, in MP you can hear the mounted guns popping...in beach invasion it sounds just like saving private ryan, no joke
Suggestions: nothing, just maybe some DLC and ill be even happier with this great title!
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Overall: its a great SP game but MP sucks really bad, so thats why i didnt play much on live with this game, Gameplay: well your a bunch of different people doing the star wars thing, riding these dino's, tanks, planes, using your lightsaber, very fun
Graphics: its actually not bad, i really didnt pay attention to the details since this game is very fast paced, but the cut-scenes were nice
Audio: the average star wars music, sure its the same thing over and over again but your to busy playing to really notice it
Suggestions: better online PLEASE!
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Wreckless: The Yakuza Mission
Overall: its a cool driving game where you smash into everything, i always wanted to play a game like this, even though it is short and there is no MP and there is no free roam modeGameplay: well you drive and smash up cars in missions, i think it is the most fun to get the tank and blow cars up with a single shot!
Graphics: ABSOLUTLY BEUTIFUL, oxm still claims it is the most technically advanced game, i compared this game to the ps2/gc version and it lots A LOT better, i got this way before these versions were out and knew they wouldnt look very good
Audio: kinda lame, but not bad, its kinda lame techno, but its not bad, the car sounds are not bad at all, just most of the cars sound the same...o well
Suggestions: MP
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3

Graphics: very good, no volumectric grass as in 2x....but the models look very good, i saw the playstation verison of this game and i realized how much better a 128 bit system is than a 64
Audio: great songs, i never get bored of them because they are just cool, i forgot if there was hoobastank, they are always in video games....they should get an award
Suggestions: no more!
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Jet Set Radio Future
Overall: its fantastic and is totally addicting! the cel-shading might turn people off but it puts a street smart look to the already street smart game...( did that make sense?)Gameplay: i have never played the demo version im sure it is the same great game..everyone should play this game
Graphics: the best looking cel-shaded game ever made....the worlds would not be as big if they were in real 3-d graphics....so be appreciative

Suggestions: .........none

Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding
Overall: great and fantastic game, very addictive, if you liked ssx tricky youll love amped even more!!!go get it
Gameplay: this game is for snowboarders (duh).
it is the most realistic snowboard games ever made, they use real locations and the grinding and tricks are extremily difficult.
Graphics: The snow is eye candy! the player models are fantastic! the snow as i said before is unbelievable, it feels like your on a mountain, with other riders taunting you if you crash
Audio: sound is also fantastic, the snow crunching under your board and the carving of your board into the snow all sound fantastic, good voice overs and funny jokes!
Suggestions: none good as it is
