| Fallout 2 | Windows | "Unlike most sequels, truly better than the original - although with continuity and maturity problems" | Jan 19, 2004 |
| M.A.X.: Mechanized Assault and Exploration | DOS | "Unlike its sequel, a classic that brought some new ideas to the party when RTS clones were dominating everything" | Jan 27, 2004 |
| Impossible Creatures | Windows | "Too bad the interesting premise is wasted on a generic boring RTS" | Oct 22, 2003 |

| Wizardry 8 | Windows | "Though it was the swan song of the series, it was a proper pinnacle." | Nov 06, 2003 |
| The New Adventures of the Time Machine | Windows | "The worst of the schlocky mass-produced adventure games from Dreamcatcher, this one added false advertising to its sins" | Oct 24, 2003 |
| Wasteland | Apple II | "The seminal post-apocalyptic CRPG" | Nov 14, 2003 |
| ICO | PlayStation 2 | "The only computer or video game so far that I would unreservedly call "artistic". Also fun and playable" | Nov 18, 2003 |

| Strange Adventures in Infinite Space | Windows | "Quirky and Unique - A Space Strategy/RPG Game That Plays in 10 Minutes" | Nov 06, 2003 |
| The Legacy: Realm of Terror | DOS | "Probably the best "survival horror" game ever made - years before the genre was named" | Oct 22, 2003 |
| Final Fantasy XI Online | Windows | "Not just YAMMORPG - the game design is finely crafted to avoid most or all of the pitfalls of the genre" | Nov 06, 2003 |
| Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader | Windows | "Nice magic system and backstory, but they botched the conversion to realtime and they botched game balance overall" | Oct 22, 2003 |
| Truck Dismount - Rekkaturvat | Windows | "It's sick, it's wrong, it's fascinating, it's shameful fun" | Nov 12, 2003 |

| Unlimited Saga | PlayStation 2 | "A terrible disappointment for SaGa Frontier fans" | Dec 01, 2003 |
