    A few innovations, a few missteps

    Age of Empires III

    A few innovations, a few missteps

    Graphics: 9/10 Found the colours to be very vivid and eye-catching. However, the detail is somewhat lacking, especially in the zoom in. The water graphics have been much improved though, even with sprites for wave eff... Read Full Review

    FlatOut 2

    Mostly good, some bad.

    Graphics: 10/10 Okay, so there aren't any commercial cars around Flat Out 2 like in most racing simulators such as Need for Speed series or the Gran Turismo classics. However, there are 2 reasons for the perfect score.... Read Full Review

    Star Wars: Battlefront II

    A brand new genre: unending innovations by Lucasarts

    Graphics: 10/10 The graphics look sleek and smooth; suitable for the futuristic setting of a game such as Star Wars. The guns look unique and new, but some of their appendages do look out of place. If you ever wished ... Read Full Review

    Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED: Rengou vs. Z.A.F.T.

    Elicits an amazing nostaligic feeling for fans of Gundam

    Graphics: 9/10 It's exactly what you'd expect from a Gundam game. Highly detailed suits truly brings the movies into your PS2. As well, the authentic characters taken straight from the Seed series immerses the player ... Read Full Review

    Unbelievably addictive. Nothing beats this, both single player and multi. Romps COD2, MOHPA, CS!

    Graphics: 10/10 Amazing graphics for an online FPS. The landscape is especially detailed, with all the shrubbery and signposts actually registering when you run into them. Instead of other games, where these superfici... Read Full Review

    The best single player FPS out there.  Better than MOHAA!

    Call of Duty 2

    The best single player FPS out there. Better than MOHAA!

    Graphics: 9/10 The graphics are a little disappointing, considering the time of release. But the experience can still be thrilling and the choppy graphics could be actually enhancing the effect of a WWII fighter. Comp... Read Full Review

    Heroes of the Pacific

    Only played demo, but from the outlook, game doesn't have enough realism or strategy

    Graphics: 7/10 Compared to games nowadays, HOTP falls far short of the stunning graphics needed for a rating of 10. The planes don't look sleek, the sky doesn't look smooth, and the AI controlled objects look like a ni... Read Full Review

    Only reason for the passing grade is the random traffic generator.

    World Soccer Winning Eleven '97

    Meh... Not bad

    Best soccer game for PS platform

    Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings

    Just when everyone thought the Age of Empires game had reached one of the limits of its age, Age of Empires 2 had to arrive. Here's a breakdown of this near-perfect game: Graphics: 10/10 The detail's there. The animat... Read Full Review

    Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome

    A nice, but small expansion.

    Graphics: 8/10 The detail's all there, but the most obtrusive thing missing is the smoothness of the picture. Much of what is seen in AOE: Rise of Rome is grainy and unimproved over the original AOE. It's a shame also... Read Full Review

    I've played CS back when it wasn't hosted by Source, and I've found that with source, it's quite a nuisance for slower computers. I had a P3 733Mhz that couldn't run it, so now I'm forced to use my P4 3.0Ghz... Graphic... Read Full Review

    A classic if not for the (over) realism. Would've been better with an arcade style/mode.
