All genres are represented--we've got European-centric sports titles like FIFA and ISS2, great racing games like Project Gotham Racing, Rallisport Challenge, and F1 2002, fighting titles like Dead or Alive 3, adventure titles such as Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, and first-person shooters like the already legendary Halo.
