Pikmin 2 for Gamecube
The Pikmin series is unlike any other video games out there. The
original was the
brain child of Shigeru Miyamoto (best known as the father of Mario). His
idea was to mix gardening in a video game, who knew it would work so
well? Pikmin 2 expands on everything the original offered. There are
more types of Pikmin, two characters to control them, no more time limit
and best of all multiplayer support.

Dragonball Z: Supersonic Warriors / Dragonball Z: Bukku Togeki for Game Boy Advance
Finally a company has done the Dragonball Z series justice. Dragonball Z: Supersonic Warriors
holds its ground in the realm of fighting games by having a large number of characters, plenty
of unlockables and a decent set of moves. The game even features
alternate storylines, which fans of the series will love. The designers
even went the extra mile by adding in mode 7 graphics that capture the
series famed aerial combat. That's a lot for any fighting game to have,
especially one on the Game Boy Advance.

The Legend of Zelda: The
Four Swords Plus for Gamecube
Finally, Nintendo has found a working formula for Game Boy Advance
connectivity with The Four Swords. The main mode called Hyrule Adventure
is a standard Zelda game designed with puzzles that has you work
together with friends to solve. Add in a melee battle mode, Tetra's
trackers and a slew of mini games to make the ultimate party game.

Onimusha 3 for Playstation 2
It's once in a blue moon when a sequel turns out to be better than its
predecessor. Onimusha 3 is one of these rare cases. Instead of using the
same gameplay mechanics or even the same engine, Onimusha 3 revamps the
entire series. The game is more action packed, has two heroes and
cinematics that immerse the gamer into the game
January 2004
Bujingai for Playstation 2
Once you've seen the amazing visual effects and action packed gameplay
of Bujingai you'll already know why its the best of the best. Bujingai
stood out as a "sleeper hit", a relatively unlooked at game that turned
out to be really fun to play through.
