Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Thursday 15 July, 2010

It seemed odd that a Japanese RPG would publicise a minor cameo from Devil May Cry star Dante extensively on its box-art, especially given just how far removed Lucifer’s Call is from the action ... Read More...

Crash Tag Team Racing

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Friday 2 July, 2010

Crash Bandicoot seemed to be on an all-too-familiar descent from prominence following the departure of its creator Naughty Dog, with the so-so Nitro Kart and lacklustre platformer TwinSanity failing t... Read More...

WipEout Pulse

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Monday 21 June, 2010

If ever you wanted a textbook example of how not to go about PR, then surely the farcical PS2 release of WipEout Pulse in 2009 is it. Sony’s plan of attack seemed less intent on marketing the ga... Read More...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Thursday 22 April, 2010

The Matrix: Path Of Neo

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Tuesday 16 February, 2010

Whilst it’s perhaps not surprising that the sum total of The Matrix: Path Of Neo’s endeavours amount to a fairly mediocre game, it is not necessarily for the reasons you might expect. It&r... Read More...

Persona 4

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Monday 8 February, 2010

Atlus’s decision to develop Persona 4 exclusively for the PS2 surprised some, as by the time of the games release in February 2009, the format was entering its ninth year on sale. Lower developm... Read More...

Medal Of Honor: Vanguard

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Monday 18 January, 2010

Medal of Honor’s fourth and final PS2 outing is a dishearteningly threadbare effort. Vanguard is desperately short on new ideas and content, whilst it’s ageing game engine and misguided em... Read More...
