Get the lowdown on which of these new video games are worth buying, renting or avoiding:
“Castlevania: Circle of the Moon’ (Game Boy Advance): Excellent side-scrolling adventure game continues the vampire-hunting series.
“Medal of Honor: Allied Assault’ (PC): Beautifully designed, amazingly realistic World War II shooting game.
“Sonic Adventure 2 Battle’ (GameCube): Improved version of Dreamcast’s “SA2′ with better multiplayer options.
“Rez’ (PlayStation 2): Unique shooting-game experience in virus-plagued cyberspace.
“Batman: Vengeance’ (Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation 2): A disappointing Batman title with inconsistent game play.
“AirBlade’ (PlayStation 2): Mediocre mission-based hoverboard game features play similar to Tony Hawk’s skateboard series.
“Universal Studios Theme Park’ (GameCube): A weak mix of mini-games based on actual theme park rides.
“ESPN International Winter Sports 2002′ (GameCube, Xbox and PlayStation 2): Ten mediocre mini-games with weak mechanics add up to a yawner.
