WinBack - PS2

Much better than the original

I didn't much enjoy the N64 version of WinBack, but this version is much more enjoyable. The better controller, improved graphics, and most of all, the bot mode make this a great game. Invite a friend, have him learn the basics of the game, and take on some EXTREMELY intelligent bots. You'll have to use your head though. If you like MGS and Syphon Filter, but wish there was a medium between action and realism, look no further. The only gripe that really hurts the game is the lack of blood. If this game were rated Mature it would truly be an action-packed MGS clone.

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - PC

Not necessarily the best FPS at first, but stick with it and it'll pay off

now, of course, Star Wars games all sound completely awesome, especially when they have the word "Jedi" in their name twice. Just the thought of wielding a lightsaber and dueling with evil jedi has been known to give heart attacks to many a nerd. And with good reason. When you first get this game, you may become discouraged or disappointed that you don't start with a lightsaber. Thats alright, that's what cheats are for. JK2 is a great game, but the single player can be lacking at times. Cheats can indeed make the game better (particularly the map-switching cheats). But buy this game not for the single-player, but rather for the simply stunning multiplayer game. It's made off of the Quake 2 engine, so thats sayin somethin good already. Most servers play "Saber-Only" style (which is pretty self-explanitory). Possibly the best part of the multiplayer game is the ability to fully customize your player's force powers. You can choose from the basic "push" and "pull", but there is also a power that renders you invisible to enemies, and yes, they have that awesome lightning attack that the emperor used in RETURN OF THE JEDI. I would HIGHLY recommend getting a good connection and picking up this game.
