OK, here's my opinion...

SSX is a definite must buy. Graphics are SUPERB, and the gameplay is out of this world (literally!!).

Tekken Tag is my next offering. OK, it's like Tekken 3, but the tag option, BEAUTIFULLY anti-aliased graphics and increased character count make it worthwhile.

Ridge Racer V is OK (take it or leave it). It's a good racer, but rushed (glitchy graphics with a poor PAL conversion). If you get SSX, that will give you all the racing thrills you need until Wipeout Fusion and GT3 hit the shelves next year.

Timesplitters is OK too, but only as a multi-player game. Single player is too shallow, but still good fun. If I were you, I'd wait until "Red Faction" next year - that looks awesome!

So, here's a good choice:

1) SSX
2) Tekken Tag
3) Get those two, and use the rest of your hard-earned money to buy some DVD's instead!

take my advice and go for ssx!! its not like your usual snowboarding games, its more of a racing game. all the mags rave about it. timesplitters looks ok but only as a multiplayer game. you'll finish it easily in one player and then get board of it. I've seen tekken tag and its basically identical to tekken 3 on ps1. nothing different.

I would go for SSX or Tekken Tag. Timesplitters sounds alright but there will be better FPS out next year (Unreal Tournament, Half Life, TWINE) if you can wait that long. Ridge Racer V looks like a rushed job and FIFA 2001, dunno personally I would wait for a better footy game.

1. SSx
2. TimeSplitters

I personally would leave the rest as you can just play the PS1 versions you bought a year ago on the PS2 anyway.
