Shortly after Rockstar Games gained mainstream interest with the success of “Grand Theft Auto 3,” they released another disturbingly violent game called “State of Emergency.”

Though it seemed unlikely, Game Freak finally took a break from its cash-cow series to create an entirely original Game Boy Advance game, “Drill Dozer.”

“Mario Kart” fans cherish the widely known series, not only for its single-player game play, but also for its addictive, hectic multi-player races.

The “Castlevania” series has a lot of great games to its name. The 2-D titles like “Symphony of the Night” and last month’s “Dawn of Sorrow” are amazing games that lead the genre in every aspect. The 3-D installments, however, always seem to be one step behind their competition.

“Shadow of the Colossus” defies video game conventions. Because of this, it is somewhat difficult to review it fairly.

“Castlevania” is a veteran franchise in the gaming industry, having started in the same era as “Super Mario Bros.” and “The Legend of Zelda.”
