LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game
Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Saturday 20 December, 2008
When it comes to console gaming, Star Wars has had a decidedly chequered past, with a very high turnout of mediocre titles offset by only a modest selection of good ones. However, its quirky union wit... Read More...XII Stag
Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Monday 15 December, 2008
Ah, if I'm not mistaken, this is one for the connoisseurs. XII Stag was never a game Joe Public was going to rush out and buy on-mass - one look at the reverse side of the games case reveals that m... Read More...Dead To Rights 2
Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Friday 12 December, 2008
It's hard to shake the feeling that Dead To Rights 2 was conceived a generation or so too late. Little of Namco's usual style, flair and assured quality are in evidence, meaning the player is left ... Read More...Warriors Orochi 2
Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Tuesday 9 December, 2008
As you may already have deduced, Warriors Orochi 2 is rather similar to the fifteen other 'Warriors' themed hack 'n' slash 'em ups that have invaded the PS2 over the last few years and the target a... Read More...Steel Dragon EX
Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Tuesday 11 November, 2008
2D scrolling shoot 'em ups, whether they're of the vertical or horizontal disposition, seem to have become a dime-a-dozen on the PS2. As the genres strong points and weaknesses tend to be expressed... Read More...Jade Cocoon 2
Written by Dan Thompson in PS2 Game Reviews, Friday 24 October, 2008
The true essence of an RPG, in my own opinion, is cut down into certain qualities such as character progression, storyline addiction and gameplay execution and over the decades a certain few has li... Read More...Haunting Ground
Written by Dan Thompson in PS2 Game Reviews, Saturday 18 October, 2008
With games like Resident Evil, horror survival games, in my opinion have taken a turn for the worse. Action depicts gameplay meaning the 'horror' aspect really has been taken out of the game; I mea... Read More...The Legend Of Spyro: A New Beginning
Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Sunday 12 October, 2008
Spyro's third PlayStation2 outing (and sixth console appearance in total) saw something of a rebirth for the purple dragon. Despite its immediate predecessor, A Hero's Tail, managing to recapture a... Read More...7 Sins
Written by Dan Thompson in PS2 Game Reviews, Wednesday 1 October, 2008
On paper, 7 Sins sounds amusing, not breathtaking or 'legendary', but at least playable. A life simulation game that uses a winning formula of 'sim' style Gameplay that adds a touch of rude humour ... Read More...Tomb Raider Anniversary
Written by Dan Thompson in PS2 Game Reviews, Saturday 20 September, 2008
It's been over ten years since the first Tomb Raider was released on the PSOne, but as the famous quote states: “Sometimes To Understand Your Present, You Have To Go Back To Your Past” and that's e... Read More...Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call
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 ...
Crash Tag Team Racing
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...
WipEout Pulse
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...
