Indiana Jones And The Emperor's Tomb (Lucasarts) (Xbox (EU Version))

One of the most entertaining single-player adventures on Xbox, Indy's tomb raiding easily surpasses Lara's adventures.

Defender (Midway) (Xbox (EU Version))

As an update of a fondly remembered game, Defender does the job - but its time has passed. Still, playable enough.

Steel Battalion (Capcom) (Xbox (US Version))

A novel, impressive and intense experience that you should try and experience - but it can be hard work to play.

Dead Or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball (Tecmo) (Xbox (EU Version))

Great to look at and fun to play, but with no online functionality and little replay value it's an acquired taste.

The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (Electronic Arts) (Xbox (EU Version))

If you like The Lord Of The Rings and you like playing games then you're going to love this.

NBA 2K3 (Sega) (Xbox (EU Version))

A solid basketball game with all the fundamentals, but not quite as good as the other two games already out there.

Nightcaster II: Equinox (Jaleco) (Xbox (EU Version))

It may have good intentions, but it's still a repeat offender. Dull, unrewarding and just plain unenjoyable.

Racing Evoluzione (Atarisoft) (Xbox (EU Version))

It may lack a bit of spark and fails to deliver on the promise of running a race team, but it's a solid, enjoyable game.

Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO: Mark Of The Millennium (Capcom) (Xbox (US Version))

Polish something forever and eventually it'll disappear. Nevertheless, loads of fun scraps are to be had here.

World Racing (TDK) (Xbox (US Version))

Mercedes fans will have found Nirvana. Lacks some of the pedal to the metal thrill that a racing game should provide.

Dr. Muto (Midway) (Xbox (EU Version))

It's only really an enjoyable experience if you've not played loads of other cartoony platformers in your time.
