43. SWAT 4, Brothers in Arms, Yoshi Touch & Go and more!

Aired: 4/25/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we review SWAT 4. While well-meaning legislators continue to decry Rockstar’s ho-beating extravaganza as an accurate, all-encompassing representation of video games, Sierra quietly releases SWAT 4, a tense, realistic, and very violent tactical shooter. It’s too bad a game that portrays the police as professional, caring human beings instead of corrupt scumbags will go unnoticed by our elected officials.

44. NARC, Mario Party Advance, Rave Master and more!

Aired: 4/26/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we review the infamous NARC. Gamers who grew up in the '80s (or just picked up the latest Midway Collection) might have fond memories of the ultra-violent, two-player cooperative, anti-drug romp called Narc. It's a graphically impressive (for the time) coin-op shooter where you mow down bizarre syringe-throwing, uzi-toting psychopaths in the name of justice. Midway is bringing the series back.

45. Predator: Concrete Jungle, Pariah, Rugby 2005 and more!

Aired: 4/27/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we preview Predator: Concrete Jungle. The greatest foe Arnold Schwarzenegger ever faced wasn’t a political opponent; think unstoppable alien menace the Predator instead. But while dozens of games have let audiences play the aforementioned actor, few have chosen to cast sci-fi enthusiasts as his extraterrestrial nemesis. Enter Concrete Jungle, an attempt at shedding some light on the creature’s history, as well as, providing it with a headlining role. We at X-Play take a look at what it’s like controlling an assassin who hunts humans for sport.

46. Unreal Championship 2, Obscure, Rayman DS and more!

Aired: 5/2/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we review Unreal Championship 2. After years of evolution, console shooters still feel inferior to their PC counterparts. Give a hand, then, to Epic Games, for spitting in the genre's face. Blatantly disregarding fanboy howls, it's tweaked its franchise so thoroughly that The Liandri Conflict might as well be the beginning of a totally different series.

47. Juiced, Romance of the Three Kingdoms X, Colosseum, and more!

Aired: 5/3/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we review Juiced. If you remember, X-Play reviewed Juiced back in October of 2004. Acclaim, the game's publisher at the time, sent us builds marked as "review." We reviewed the game and completed the segment for the show. One day before the review segment was to air, Acclaim filed for bankruptcy and Juiced was never released. It was too late to pull the segment before it aired.

48. Pac Pix, Psychonauts, Metal Slug 5 and more!

Aired: 5/4/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we preview Pac-Pix. Back when the Nintendo DS was unveiled at E3 2004 there were a lot of cool concepts on display, but we wondered if they'd ultimately turn into viable games. One such concept was Pac-Pix, a quirky demo that allowed you to draw Pac-Man and then watch him animate across the screen. Unable to repress our curiosity, we imported the final Japanese version to give the pill-eating, pizza-shaped retro icon a touch or two.

49. Jade Empire, Polarium, Tork and more!

Aired: 5/9/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we review Jade Empire, Polarium and Tork. Plus, segments on Weird Games and Hispanic Stereotypes in Games.

50. Doom 3, Resurrection for Evil, FlatOut and more!

Aired: 5/10/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we review Doom 3 for the Xbox. Throughout the long, long development of Doom 3, questions were raised as to whether the humble Xbox would be able to handle the game in all its graphical glory. But it turns out that developer Vicarious Visions has got some powerful mojo. It's been able to port over Doom 3 more or less in tact and includes a multiplayer co-op mode.

51. E3 2005 Preshow

Aired: 5/11/2005

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we give you the lowdown on what's going to be hot at this year's E3.

52. Star Wars Invades X-Play

Aired: 5/23/2005

On tonight's episode, Star Wars invades X-Play with a review of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Back in 1999, the Episode I game set the standard for awful Star Wars prequel tie-in games. Episode II didn’t even have a direct tie-in, just a spin-off car combat game called Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Now, with Episode III in theatres, can The Collective work a little bit of the same licensed game magic it did with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb? Plus, don't miss out on our Star Wars Celebration feature, Star Wars Games Retrospective and an Epic Lightsaber Battle! Tune in tonight!

53. Still Life, Elite Warriors, Spy vs. Spy and more!

Aired: 5/24/2005

Aired: 6/6/2005

Enthusia Professional Racing If you're the type of virtual racer who wants to deal with the super-realism of a hardcore simulator, you won't want to miss our review of Enthusia Professional Racing. With Enthusia, you'll get a good-looking, challenging game with a nice collection of cars to win and race. You'll also get the steep learning curve that some gamers thrive on. In the end, however, the biggest thing working against Enthusia is the timing of its release.

61. Guild Wars, Pokemon Emerald, Coldwinter and more!

Aired: 6/13/2005

Guild Wars For some gamers, paying upwards of $10 a month for the privilege of spending hours killing rodents, making casual virtual friends, and generally doing busywork is a hard sell. Plenty of folks are still willing to devote the time and the money to have elite characters, but with the online gaming market more crowded than ever, a more lightweight option is in order for the casual players. They want an entertaining online RPG they can enjoy while still having a life, and without the monthly fee. That’s exactly what Guild Wars delivers, and it does so brilliantly.

62. E3: A Look Back
