Wolfenstein and Phantasy Star were the big games for Xbox. Nothing really stood out for PS2. Wario World looks so so, but I'm really tempted to try out that Ultimate Muscle wrestling game. Advance Wars 2 looks to be the standout for the GBA.

I'd think Wario would love the fact his game would make you curse at the TV and throw your controller and GameCube out a window.

The review was very positive. It got low scores because its too short and its too easy to continue right where you left off. It was also knocked by one reviewer for getting really hard as you get into the game. He mentioned cursing and throwing controllers.

I hate EGM. I only have their free sub and that's all that motivates me. All they care about these days is graphics. The prettier the game, the better. Take their retarded ZOE2 review. They gave it a 9, 7.5 and 8.5, despite the fact that the game can be finished in 6 hours and there's no replay value. The most common "best feature" for their reviews has to do with the game's graphics. They're so willing to overlook the faults of a game if the graphics are good but if the graphics suck and it's a genuinly good game, then they totally trash it.

Gotta pick up Burnout2 one of these days.

I wouldn't mind picking up MotoGP2. I've heard nothing but great things about this racing sim.
