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.
Dungeon Siege
You're on your way to Stonebridge, though not by choice. After krug raiders killed your neighbors and set fire to your farm, however, it seems to be the only option left to you.
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.
Fable
I found the puzzle-solving aspect of this game interesting, and at times even unique.
Gex
Crystal Dynamics' famed gecko Gex has finally hit the PlayStation with his witty humor and excellent game-play intact.
Project Gotham Racing 2
Fishtailing is a good thing - air, drafting, two wheels, much better.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight
Without a doubt Microsoft clearly has outpaced any competition with their flight simulator series and continues to increase the distance with Flight Simulator 2004.
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
Well it definitely leaves a similar mark, but not in the way of innovate gameplay.
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
Like most race titles there isn't anything by way of a storyline, but then there doesn't really need to be.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002
Flight enthusiasts have been using MS Flight Simulator for years and have watched it evolve from monochrome line graphics up to graphics so real..
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.
Kakuto Chojin
What starts out as possibly an intriguing fighting game simply stalls 6 steps into its sprint.
Hellbender
"Six years ago the Coalition of Independent Planets defeated their most fearsome enemy, a race of warriors they had created -- the Bions..."
Deadly Tide
The game starts out with a nicely-done cinematic intro which leads the player into his/her role as undersea fighter pilot.
