Project Gotham Racing 3 -- The buzz on this racing game for the Xbox 360 is that it's so graphically advanced that its digitized version of Brooklyn Bridge contains as much detail as the entire city of New York did in the previous installment. Xbox 360
FAMILY FRIENDLY TITLES:
Ultimate Spider-Man -- This game takes its appearance from the comic books, not the recent movies. When not swinging around on the buildings in this game's vast metropolis, players also get to play Venom, a villain from the Spider-Man world. PlayStation 2, Xbox.
The Sims 2 -- The hit sequel to the hit computer game, in which players get to micromanage the day-to-day lives of virtual people, is now available on game console. PlayStation 2, Xbox GameCube
We Love Katamari -- This Japanese cult hit, with its Hello Kitty aesthetic, is so weird that it's a little tough to explain. Basically, you're a little cartoon guy rolling up increasingly huge balls of junk that the King of Cosmos is using to. . . oh, forget it. Whatever, it's fun. PlayStation 2
Nintendogs -- This virtual pet program features everything but kennel fees. Pet your virtual doggie, walk it, buy it toys -- all that's missing is a trip to the Adams Morgan dog park. Thanks to the Nintendo DS's wireless connectivity features, players can have their virtual animals play with each other. Nintendo DS.
Guitar Hero -- It's "School of Rock" for the PlayStation 2. Designed with the air guitar master in the family in mind, this title comes with a guitar/game controller that plugs into the game console. Hit the right "notes" as you rock along with '70s-era tunes and you will climb your way to rock-god status. In your living room, anyway. PlayStation 2
The Atari Flashback 2 -- Modern games and game machines can be expensive, intimidating and a little too complex. This $30 device, designed as a smaller replica of the 1970s-era Atari 2600 console, is perfect for folks looking for a quick fix of classic games like Asteroids or Missile Command. If you didn't finish Adventure back in 1982, here's your chance.
