History Channel: Battle for the Pacific (PS2)

Advantages: An original game with funky retro music and lots of style
Disadvantages: Limited Scope and Freedom/Too linear

...--- Overview --- First released on the Dreamcast (RIP) by Sega back in 2000, it was at its time the first dance game on the next generation consoles. Two years later and it was released on the PS2, but how well has it done? The storyline is simple aliens are threatning mankind and your character has got to outdance them, save hostages, kill bosses etc etc.... to save the human race. --- Price --- You can still find it in some stores at its full price of £39.99, but whatever you do don't pay that. You can usually pick it up for around £20 new and £10 - £15 secondhand, certainly the game is well made but its overall quality now only justifies paying £15 or less. So shop around. --- Gameplay --- The gameplay utilises the gamepad totally (no dance mat nonsense) and is fairly basic. But in its simplicity comes... Read review

Advantages: Superb visuals; pretty hefty amount of replay value; funny dialogue; great VFX powers.
Disadvantages: Quite short clocking in at only 8 hours; sometimes frustrating.

...but they are making games like Okami and God Hand. Unfortunately Clover will no longer make games from the end of March 2007. It's a shame because Clover's games are great. -(History Of Viewtiful Joe)- Back in 2003 Capcom and Clover Studio's released Viewtiful Joe for the Gamecube. It cleverly mixed Polygons with a 2D background. It was originally released for the Gamecube only but a year later it found it's way onto the PS2. It was every bit as good as the Gamecube version but added more unlockable content. A year later Capcom released a sequel, Viewtiful Joe 2 for the Gamecube and the PS2. It was very good but was a bit too similar to the original. In Febuary 2006 a DS game was released called Double Trouble. It took advantage of the Touch Screen and had superb graphics. Then in May 2006 Capcom released Viewtiful Joe:Red Hot Rumble. It was perhaps... Read review

Advantages: Good game if you are into yu-gi-oh
Disadvantages: quite difficult and time consuming , only available for PS2

...This game is only available for the playstation 2. It is the only yu-gi-oh game for the playstation 2 and is in the strategy genre. The Game based on the popular yu gi oh trading card game with a hint of history in the story as the name of the game shows. The game is kind of a cross between the War of the Roses , Duelist Kingdom and Dungeon Dice Monsters . Most people are now baffled as they don't have a clue what the above sentence means , well I'll try my best to help you with that..... The Historical Period I was talking about was The War Of The Roses . This was a great war between Lancashire and Yorkshire for the throne . If you take away swords and add cards more powerful than anything else in the lands thats pretty much what this game is like . Yorkshire are trying to earn all the Red Rose cards to prevent Lancashire... Read review
