Microsoft Games
Age of Empires
It's rapidly becoming apparent that there are fewer and fewer truly well-designed games on the market, especially in the real-time strategy category.
Age of Mythology: The Titans
Atlantis has fallen, but don't count the Atlanteans out just yet.
Gex
Crystal Dynamics' famed gecko Gex has finally hit the PlayStation with his witty humor and excellent game-play intact.
Kameo: Elements of Power
Not that Kameo doesn't deserve that accolade on its own, because it really is an enjoyable game. As the titular heroine Kameo, you have been betrayed by your own sister who has chosen to ally herself with the sworn enemy of all Elves, the Trolls.
Counter-Strike
One team is given an objective, whether it 's rescuing hostages or planting a bomb, while the other team has to prevent the other team from completing those objectives.
RalliSport Challenge 2
No matter how you feel about Microsoft, it can't be denied that they produce some outstanding games.
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
Well it definitely leaves a similar mark, but not in the way of innovate gameplay.
Zoo Tycoon 2
There's the Freeform game, with unlimited money -- that is, no money worries at all -- and all animals and buildings, etc., available. Pick a region anywhere in the world for your zoo and start building.
Whacked!
What _Whacked!_ does offer is highly unique characters like a rabbit who had his feet cut off and made into key chains and an emaciated, narcoleptic guy who competes in a recliner.
Fable
I found the puzzle-solving aspect of this game interesting, and at times even unique.
Deadly Tide
The game starts out with a nicely-done cinematic intro which leads the player into his/her role as undersea fighter pilot.
Project Gotham Racing 3
So what stands out as a next-gen game? Well the most obvious place to start is with the graphics. Everything is gorgeous from the city streets to the cars themselves, it's definitely eye candy (at least running at 1080i).
Sudeki
There are a number of extremely promising RPGs headed for the Xbox this fall such as Fable and Knights of the Old Republic II and it was hoped that Sudeki would be leading the charge.
Project Gotham Racing 2
Fishtailing is a good thing - air, drafting, two wheels, much better.
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance
“Your father murdered. Your world overrun. Take command... and... reclaim your bloodright.” With those words, a new story in the battletech universe is born.
Project Gotham Racing
Like most race titles there isn't anything by way of a storyline, but then there doesn't really need to be.
Crimson Skies
Nathan Zachary, gentleman air pirate and leader of the Fortune Hunters, is back at it again.
Baseball 3D
Have you had enough baseball yet? If the answer is no, then Microsoft might just have the ticket you are looking for in Baseball 3D
