Microsoft Games
Jade Empire
To start, a solid story is developed with twists and turns that will keep you pushing well into the night.
Blinx 2: Masters Of Time & Space
You've got basic run, jump, grab and gun gameplay, mixed with some interesting time controls and a weapon that can suck up any nearby junk to shoot back at the enemy.
Azurik
Azurik is a young 'Lore Guardian' who is given the task to protect the elemental discs that contain the souls of the Elemental Guardians.
Outwars
You are an elite futuristic Marine protecting the universe from vicious hordes of aliens. This is not a 3D shooter, although it does at times have the feel of one; it is a combat simulation.
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
Fable
I found the puzzle-solving aspect of this game interesting, and at times even unique.
Amped
In order to give an accurate snowboard review, yours truly has traveled to the great state of Montana for a little R&R and some serious snowboarding..
Microsoft Flight Simulator 98
So you've had a rough day. The boss is on your case, the kids are whining and the car's making that noise again.
Monster Truck Madness 2
"Lean into it!" -- that’s exactly what you will find yourself doing in Monster Truck Madness 2 (MTM2).

In a world of suffering, a hero will emerge. Hmm' that doesn't exactly rhyme.
Top Spin
While tennis games have never been main stream, the success of Sega's Virtual Tennis has helped push them in the right direction.
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..."
Amped 2
First, you may struggle with the way this game controls, especially if you're used to arcadey sports titles.
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..
Links 2004
Links 2004 offers the standard gameplay options but most of the single player features are focused around the career mode.
Rallisport Challenge
First, the game looks and sounds much the same, which is to say, fabulous.
NFL Fever 2002
In this day and age, it goes without saying but I will say it anyway; this game carries all the NFL licenses allowing for real players, real uniforms and real stadiums.
Links 2003
In the past couple of years, console golf games have taken encouraging strides in competing with their PC cousins.
Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack
Tired of playing the same old Halo 2 maps over and over, but still not quite ready to let them go either?
Dungeon Siege II
It is near the end of the Second Age. You have been hired as a mercenary by Valdis, prince of the North, to eradicate the enemies of his reign.
Voodoo Vince
With the numerous bland and repetitive platform games released every year, it can be difficult to gauge the quality of the gameplay associated with them.
Starlancer
The solar system erupts in war! Eastern Coalition forces, led by the devious Admiral Kulov, have launched a surprise attack on the Western Alliance.
NFL Fever 2004
Even more challenging would be pushing that lineman back and sacking the quarterback, which Microsoft is far from achieving.
Links LS 2000
Whoever said that golf was a relaxing game should be slapped up side the head with a 1-wood, because in all my gaming adventures I never swear so much as when I’m playing Links 2000.
Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings
Unlike many other reviews you will read, I will not start this review off by comparing MMORPG's to drugs and the players to drug addicts.
Microsoft Golf 3.0
It's perhaps telling that if you visit the Microsoft Golf 3.0 website, one of the first things you see in the "Inside golf" link is the catch-phrase: "Adjust your grip on reality.
Blood Wake
Betrayed. One minute you're calmly patrolling the Gulf of the Moon, thinking pleasant thoughts.
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.
Asheron's Call
Gameplay takes place in a 3D environment with a wide variety of views from which to play, including a 360 swivel view and a top-down angle which is very useful for wide-range mapping.
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Finding flight simulators that present a complete package is a rarity as some handle great with a solid interface but the missions are lame or the graphics may be excellent but the game is over almost before it started.
NBA Inside Drive 2004
The graphics are far from pushing the envelope of the Xbox, instead it seems to meet the minimum expectations of a box game.
NBA Inside Drive 2002
Basketball is perhaps one of the most popular sports currently practiced professionally in the US.
Sneakers
In this latest game released by Microsoft for the Xbox, you play Apollo the leader of a gang of mice who's looking for a fight with the local gang of rats, ala West Side Story.
