Microsoft Games
Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries
Somehow, even when I think I've found the Mech game that'll end my need for these silly action games, providing me with a title that really, really sucks.
Monster Truck Madness 2
"Lean into it!" -- that’s exactly what you will find yourself doing in Monster Truck Madness 2 (MTM2).
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..
Kakuto Chojin
What starts out as possibly an intriguing fighting game simply stalls 6 steps into its sprint.
Links 2004
Links 2004 offers the standard gameplay options but most of the single player features are focused around the career mode.
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.
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).
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?
NFL Fever 2004
Even more challenging would be pushing that lineman back and sacking the quarterback, which Microsoft is far from achieving.
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.
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.
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.
NBA Inside Drive 2002
Basketball is perhaps one of the most popular sports currently practiced professionally in the US.
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.
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.
MechCommander 2
There are three things that I love to do when playing video games.
Blood Wake
Betrayed. One minute you're calmly patrolling the Gulf of the Moon, thinking pleasant thoughts.
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
Well it definitely leaves a similar mark, but not in the way of innovate gameplay.
Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty
Aside from the new island, the biggest change is the addition of housing, something that's been clamored for by players since the beta.
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.
Deadly Tide
The game starts out with a nicely-done cinematic intro which leads the player into his/her role as undersea fighter pilot.
NBA Inside Drive 2003
Unfortunately, the lack of a franchise mode, coupled with suspect AI, left many sim fans longing for more.
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.
Crimson Skies
Nathan Zachary, gentleman air pirate and leader of the Fortune Hunters, is back at it again.
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.
Hellbender
"Six years ago the Coalition of Independent Planets defeated their most fearsome enemy, a race of warriors they had created -- the Bions..."
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.
Zoo Tycoon
Just because a game has a sliver of success on one platform certainly does not guarantee that it will translate well to another.
Jade Empire
To start, a solid story is developed with twists and turns that will keep you pushing well into the night.
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..
Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus
Both groups are trying to gather together a collection of artifacts that will grant their owners immortality, and of course the best way to gain artifacts is to beat the hell out of each other.
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.
Nightcaster
In a world of suffering, a hero will emerge. Hmm' that doesn't exactly rhyme.
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.
Combat Simulator 3: Battle for Europe
To allow different perspectives of World War II to be seen, pilots from three different countries can be selected: American, British, or German.
Rallisport Challenge
First, the game looks and sounds much the same, which is to say, fabulous.
