Deus Ex: Invisible War (Eidos) (Xbox (EU Version))

A mind-blowing, expertly crafted experience that action fans would be foolish to miss. It doesn't get any better.

World Championship Pool 2004 (Jaleco) (Xbox (EU Version))

A comprehensive pool sim, which benefits immensely from numerous mini-games and Xbox Live multiplayer.

Rogue Ops (Kemco) (Xbox (EU Version))

After Splinter Cell it's difficult to settle for anything less than perfection and Rogue Ops falls well short of that.

NFL Street (Electronic Arts) (Xbox (EU Version))

A good laugh. Recommended to casual sports fans with an open mind and a 'street' sense of humour. Booyakasha.

Wrath Unleashed (Lucasarts) (Xbox (EU Version))

A nice idea, but far too basic and uninspiring to deliver. Only worth considering if you've got similarly minded mates.

Goblin Commander: Unleash The Horde (Jaleco) (Xbox (EU Version))

More on action and combat than building civilisations, though RTS veterans may find it too rudimentary.

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time (Ubisoft) (Xbox (EU Version))

A consummate adventure that is made all the more impressive by the novel time-twisting gameplay.

Armed And Dangerous (Lucasarts) (Xbox (EU Version))

Comedy value and some unique weapons save Armed And Dangerous from being distinctly average.

Beyond Good And Evil (Ubisoft) (Xbox (EU Version))

Exceptional. It's unlikely you'll have played anything so damn cute, or will again until the much-hoped-for sequel.

Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (Electronic Arts) (Xbox (EU Version))

Solid remake of the original Potter game that'll appeal to the Harry hardcore only. Muggles need not apply.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II (Interplay) (Xbox (EU Version))

Not drastically different from its predecessor, but this is a worthy instalment of the series, and a relatively accessible RPG.

Midway Arcade Treasures (Midway) (Xbox (EU Version))

A great selection of Midway's formative classics. Live scoring makes it an essential purchase for old-skoolers everywhere.

Carve (Global Star) (Xbox (EU Version))

Bog standard racer that's too linear and unimaginative to be a serious thrill ride long term. Five minutes should cover it.
