TOCA Race Driver (Codemasters) (Xbox (EU Version))

A top notch racer that doesn't need its tacked-on storyline. Racing doesn't get much more thrilling.

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (Sierra) (Xbox (EU Version))

Dinosaurs with depth! This is the first world-builder we've reviewed and a generally great one to boot.

Project Zero (Tecmo) (Xbox (EU Version))

Innovative, atmospheric and technically very polished. This is a refreshingly original take on the survival horror genre.

Super Bubble Pop (Jaleco) (Xbox (EU Version))

A poor puzzle game that's free of addictive qualities, and full of bad techno cheese. No subsitute for Bust-A-Move.

Pulse Racer (Jaleco) (Xbox (US Version))

A racing game that fails to deliver on any level, this isn't pulse-racing - just heart-stoppingly feeble.

Panzer Dragoon Orta (Sega) (Xbox (US Version))

A gorgeous shoot-'em-up, Panzer Dragoon Orta mixes cutting-edge looks and classic blasting with a few new twists.

NBA Street Vol. 2 (Electronic Arts) (Xbox (EU Version))

Grab some friends and get stuck in. Easy to play but harder to master, NBA Street 2 is a slam-dunking success.

Dark Angel (Sierra) (Xbox (US Version))

Unless you're a complete Dark Angel addict, there is very little reason indeed for you to invest time or money on this game.

Yager (THQ) (Xbox (EU Version))

A decent, enjoyable blaster that falls a wee bit short of greatness. But check out those explosions...

Crimson Sea (Koei) (Xbox (EU Version))

A quality action/shooter that will satisfy the strongest bloodlust while making sure it never gets boring.

The Sims (Electronic Arts) (Xbox (EU Version))

The inclusion of achievable objectives and multiplayer modes makes the love 'em or hate 'em Sims welcome here.

The House Of The Dead III (Sega) (Xbox (EU Version))

A fun, polished arcade game that looks wonderful but ultimately fails to offer lasting fun in the home.

Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc (Ubisoft) (Xbox (EU Version))

Not just for the kids, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is a 3D adventure that will appeal across the board.

Savage Skies (Big Ben Interactive) (Xbox (EU Version))

It's a pretty decent game but it's no classic. The benchmark has been set by Panzer Dragoon Orta.

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

As good as it gets for ice hockey sim fans, but lacking the arcade polish of the competition.

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

This is undoubtedly a great American football game but it's possibly too much of a challenge for total novices.

Kung Fu Chaos (Microsoft) (Xbox (EU Version))

Got a sense of humour? Want a challenging single-player experience combined with great multiplay? Kung-Fu Chaos is for you.

Vexx (Acclaim) (Xbox (EU Version))

An entertaining and fun platform game that has a pretty cut-throat difficulty level. Not for gaming wimps.
