Clover Studio's first cel-shaded adventure Viewtiful Joe garnered much critical acclaim for its fresh spin on the ageing 2D platform genre, but impressive though it was, few could have foreseen t... Read More...Crash Nitro Kart
Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Friday 11 July, 2008
Crash Bandicoot's second outing on the PlayStation2 was, perhaps surprisingly, a sequel to the cult PSOne kart racer Crash Team Racing. The first instalment of the series to come on a DVD, Nitro ... Read More...Reservoir Dogs

Written by Tom Clare in PS2 Game Reviews, Saturday 7 June, 2008

At 49p, Deadly Strike is just about the cheapest game I've ever bought. Therefore to claim that I (just about) "got my monies worth" might be a slightly misleading statement, but after ... 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...
