Title: XIII
Platform: PC
Author: Pretzel
XIII gives the gamer a quick dose of a good shooter, then fails to finalize with a solid ending.

Review: Metal Arms: Glitch in the System - Xbox

Title: Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
Platform: Xbox
Author: Snowcone
All in all, I enjoyed Metal Arms, but I have a hard time recommending it with a $50 price tag right now. A debut at $39.99 would have made this a solid deal, but I recommend you wait for it to come down in price and then pick it up. If the third person view generally bothers you, go out on a limb and try Metal Arms anyway. You might be surprised.

Review: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Xbox

Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Platform: Xbox
Author: Pretzel
I would have to say that LoTR: Return of the King, is one of the top hack and slash games I have ever played. This is most certainly a game that I recommend all to play. This is especially true if you're a big fan of the movies.

Review: Jak 2 - PS2

Title: Jak 2
Platform: PS2
Author: Snowcone
Dots: Jak II is different from its predecessor in many ways, but those differences are what in my mind make the sequel surpass it by leaps and bounds.

Cone: Jak 2 is a winner in my book and I can't stress enough that this is one of the most solid titles in the PS2 library right now. If you own a PS2 you absolutely owe it to yourself to give Jak 2 a try.

Review: Star Wars Rogue Squadron III : Rebel Strike - Gamecube

Title: Star Wars Rogue Squadron III : Rebel Strike
Platform: Gamecube
Author: Redshifter
When all is said and done, Rebel Strike is a better game than Rogue Leader. Always entertaining, even with its flaws, RS is a worthy addition to the Rogue Squadron legacy. Don't miss it.

Review: Need For Speed: Underground - Xbox

Title: Need For Speed: Underground
Platform: Xbox
Author: Pretzel
Overall, NFS Underground provides great challenging races, beautiful graphics, an unlimited amount of visual customizations, and purely fun gameplay. For you folks that have not been able to find an outstanding racing game, I most definitely suggest getting this game.

Review: Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - Xbox

Title: Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Platform: Xbox
Author: Redshifter
Even if you are not a flight buff, CS can still appeal to you. That is because of CS's greatest achievement - it equally appeals to players who just want to jump in and shoot at planes as well as those who like to strategically fly their planes accomplishing kills with deadly precision and strategy.
