Psychonauts. Double Fine (2005) XBox

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Intelligent Systems (2005) Gameboy Advance
Fire Emblem (2003) was a game that had a tonne of potential, but was ultimately let down by the fact that it tore up it’s own rule book two thirds into the game and had maddening difficulty spikes. Additionally, it…

UFO: Aftershock. Altar Games (2005) PC
UFO: Aftershock is the sequel to UFO: Aftermath, and is not officially related to UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com: UFO Defense). Interestingly, the 3rd game in the series, Afterlight, is not a sequel to Aftershock in terms of the story. Of all…

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory (2005), Ubisoft, Xbox

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Midway (2005) PlayStation 2
I have a history with Mortal Kombat, I used to think it was the greatest thing ever, but after replaying 1, 2, 3, and bits of Sub Zero: Mythologies, it became clear to me that Mortal Kombat wasn’t just a…
