Microsoft Games
Age of Mythology: The Titans
Atlantis has fallen, but don't count the Atlanteans out just yet.
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.
Fable
I found the puzzle-solving aspect of this game interesting, and at times even unique.
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.
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.
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
Well it definitely leaves a similar mark, but not in the way of innovate gameplay.
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.
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.
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.
Blinx: The Time Sweeper
You control Blinx, one of many cats working at the Time Factory. Your job is to keep time flowing and fix time glitches.
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).
Impossible Creatures
With the flood of successful RTS games released last year, you have to wonder if there's anything left to accomplish in this genre.
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.
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.
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.
Gex
Crystal Dynamics' famed gecko Gex has finally hit the PlayStation with his witty humor and excellent game-play intact.
