Ms. 'Splosion Man By: AK_the_Twilight
8.0 - Great
Ms. 'Splosion Man will 'splode into your heart in an instant, but only after tearing apart your thumbs first.
Burnout Crash! By: c_rake
8.0 - Great
Burnout: Crash is a rip-roaring, long-overdue return to what Burnout does best: crashing cars.
Age of Mythology By: Gelugon_baat
9.0 - Superb
Age of Mythology looks like yet another exploitation of mythology but turns out to be figurative manna from the gods.
Rotastic By: JustPlainLucas
5.5 - Mediocre
Rotastic is barely so-sotastic.
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly By: Tikicobra
1.5 - Abysmal
An absolute broken mess of a game in every way, Enter the Dragonfly fails to do anything it attempts properly.
TOP 500
These fabulous writers of note and GameSpot members have the Top 500 emblem.
Supremacy MMA By: bowlingotter

Should've been the NFL Blitz to the UFC. Instead, it's a confused and buggy brawler short on content.

8.5 - Great
3D Edition pulls off Street Fighter like no handheld could.
Bayonetta By: gamefreak197
