20. Star Wars: Battlefront II Pandemic | LucasArts | 2005 You know all those crazy laser-infantry battles in the Star Wars movies?

10. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Bethesda Softworks | Bethesda Softworks | 2002 A free-roaming fantasy epic that enables players to become an avenging messiah or to just dick around in its gigantic open world What made it so great? Take the go-anywhere, do-anything aesthetic of Grand Theft Auto and stick it into a fully-realized fantasy world, and you've got the best first-person RPG ever made (at least until the next-gen sequel, Oblivion, came along).

15. Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 Gearbox Software | Ubisoft | 2005 A World War II shooter for sofa soldiers that like to think tactics before brainlessly pulling the trigger What made it so great? God only knows how many times we've single-handedly won the Second World War by cutting through wave after wave of the Nazi plague, marching relentlessly on through the bloody wastelands like a possessed, bloodthirsty super soldier, never stopping to think, just focused on kill, kill, ...

25. Dead or Alive 3 Team Ninja | Tecmo | 2001 Buxom beauties (and, we're pretty sure, some male characters too) meet to fight in cosplay heaven in this sassy one-on-one beat 'em-up What made it so great? Didn't you hear us? Girls fighting one-on-one? Dubious teenage fantasy scenario aside, the game is still a furious and explosive take on the previously staid genre. With electrified fences around some stages, massive windows to smash your opponent through and multi-tiered fighting arenas, ...

Xbox Feature | Xbox

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon Publisher: Midway Developer: Midway Release Date: October 2006 As the end of the current era of consoles rushes headlong into complete self-annihilation, it seems only fitting that Mortal Kombat be there to polish it off.

Missing, Presumed Dead

Xbox Feature | Xbox

For every masterpiece megaseller, there are a half-dozen games that never made it out of the gate. Sometimes games in development simply never leave development, even though their existence has been announced to the world with screenshots, previews - sometimes, even reviews. Now that the Xbox 360 is slowly taking over, what will happen to these almost-rans on the original ...

E3 Close Standing
