Mazda 2 Neo 3-door hatch (2008)

Smaller and lighter than the previous model, the Mazda 2 is a revelation for small cars, and for cars in general. There's not much tech on the inside, save maybe the 3.5mm auxiliary input for your MP3 player.
Ninja Gaiden II

This action-packed sequel isn't quite up to the standards of its precursors, but it's still a brutal blast.
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

Mask of the Betrayer offers up a deeper, darker, and ultimately more satisfying role-playing experience than Neverwinter Nights 2.
The Sims 2: Castaway

Castaway might just be one of the best iterations of The Sims 2 on consoles yet.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2

Ultimate Ninja 2 still values style over substance, but a bigger cast of fighters and a better-realized story mode will certainly make it a hit with Naruto fans.
Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII

Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII is a game with a lot going for it. The variety of missions ensure you won't get bored, and the difficulty level will keep most gamers engaged.
Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms

This great new expansion offers a significant amount of new content for veteran Medieval II players.
Forza Motorsport 2

Forza 2 delivers on nearly every aspect you'd want in a Forza sequel. It drives incredibly, it's wonderfully presented, and it's rich with modes and features.
