Full Spectrum Warrior (THQ) (Xbox (EU Version))

A fantastic and innovative strategy title that captures the visceral atmosphere of modern-day warfare. Exhilarating.

Manhunt (Rockstar Games) (Xbox (EU Version))

A simple top-shelf adult action game that'll provide just enough laughs to cover its cost. Don't believe the hype.

Rallisport Challenge 2 (Microsoft) (Xbox (EU Version))

Edge-of-your-seat racer that doesn't overload on technical details. Looks and plays great, with brilliant Live multiplayer.

Red Dead Revolver (Rockstar Games) (Xbox (EU Version))

If you like Westerns you must play Red Dead Revolver. This is arcade entertainment at its most polished.

Star Trek: Shattered Universe (TDK) (Xbox (US Version))

A decent little shooter that, if you can stomach the difficulty, is a reasonably rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Van Helsing (Sierra) (Xbox (EU Version))

A run-of-the-mill, yet reasonably enjoyable adventure. It accompanies the film well and sates the bloodlust for a while.

Breakdown (namco) (Xbox (EU Version))

Proves the first-person genre can move beyond shoot-'em-ups but it's not technically adept and has too much repetition.

Dinotopia: The Sunstone Odyssey (TDK) (Xbox (US Version))

You'll have dino-flavoured deja vu followed by an inevitable meander into the land of nod. It's all a bit dull and plodding.

MTV Music Generator 3 (Codemasters) (Xbox (EU Version))

Very playable and technically very friendly. You'll wonder where the hours went once you've compiled your tracks.

Galleon: Islands Of Mystery (SCI) (Xbox (EU Version))

Not terrible but nowhere near as polished as adventures like VexX or Prince Of Persia. Still better than Tomb Raider 5!
