    Pirates? check.<br />  Monkeys? check.<br />  Ninjas? X<br />  2 out of 3 isn't bad! Besides, Pirates OWN Ninjas.

    Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

    Pirates? check.<br /> Monkeys? check.<br /> Ninjas? X<br /> 2 out of 3 isn't bad! Besides, Pirates OWN Ninjas.

    As you can probably tell from the small introduction Zack and Wiki isn't an in-depth exploration of maritime politics! However, I'm sure some of the puzzles involved could give Captain Cook a run for his money. At the... Read Full Review

    Endless Ocean

    Whoever said edutainment couldn't be fun?

    Endless Ocean is a 'love it' or 'hate it' kind of game, actually there's not too many people who would hate it. I think it's more 'love it' or 'this is the most boring game I've ever played'! Thankfully I belong to the f... Read Full Review

    It might feel like a long tutorial at times, but when the real game begins it will have been worth the wait.

    Kaze no Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

    It might feel like a long tutorial at times, but when the real game begins it will have been worth the wait.

    Klonoa is a "Dream Traveller". What this means is he's sort of like a cat with long ears which he uses to fly short distances. Which means he's something like a chicken. A cute, cartoon chicken that looks nothing like a ... Read Full Review

    Ryu ga Gotoku 3

    Yakuza 3 is the third game of the hugely popular Yakuza series, and shows that perhaps that popularity is deserved.

    Yakuza 3 is a Japanese video game. Japan is a country in Asia, which is the world's largest and most populous continent. Therefore the game's voice actors are Japanese, but luckily SEGA (the publisher of the game) had th... Read Full Review

    With a story so bad it's good, and a nostalgic feeling to the gameplay, The Two Thrones is a real winner!

    Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

    With a story so bad it's good, and a nostalgic feeling to the gameplay, The Two Thrones is a real winner!

    I received Prince of Persia: the Two Thrones for free thanks to the good people at Next Publishing. I wasn't looking forward to playing it, but when my World of Warcraft subscription ran out I thought, what the hell. As ... Read Full Review

    With a budget of 2,500 big ones perhaps they could have hired a decent script writter and actors?

    Fate By Numbers

    With a budget of 2,500 big ones perhaps they could have hired a decent script writter and actors?

    There's not too much to say about the gameplay because well it's an interactive movie. You look around the environment and you can examine talk to or use certain items and people (you can't move around though) of course ... Read Full Review

    Outcast (DVD-ROM Version)

    This cult-classic will have you partying like it's 1999 despite its age.

    The US government sends a probe into an alien parallel universe, but naturally things go wrong. An alien damages the probe resulting in the impending destruction of the universe if the probe can not be recovered. Step ... Read Full Review

    Guns, Outlaws, talking chickens, natives that look like penises, it doesn't get much better, or much more fun!

    Oddworld Stranger's Wrath

    Guns, Outlaws, talking chickens, natives that look like penises, it doesn't get much better, or much more fun!

    Stranger's Wrath is a game I waited a long time to play. I had fallen in love with Abe's Oddysee when it was first released, and the love affair with Oddworld continued with Abe's Exodus. However, with the news that Oddw... Read Full Review

    While Batman might not have many superpowers, he does have pecks. Everybody loves pecks!

    Batman: Arkham Asylum

    While Batman might not have many superpowers, he does have pecks. Everybody loves pecks!

    Batman battles…mans I am not a fan of Batman. I have not even seen the Dark Knight. The only Batman comic I have read was a recent one involving a penguin, a hypocritical policeman-and not Batman. Well maybe he was... Read Full Review

    Unique has lost much of its meaning-often used instead of remarkable. But shadow of the Colossus is truly unique.

    Shadow of the Colossus

    Unique has lost much of its meaning-often used instead of remarkable. But shadow of the Colossus is truly unique.

    Shadow of the Colossus (SotC) is the second game from the talented folks at Team Ico. There were high expectations for SotC after Ico was released to such high critical acclaim. So the question is, has Team Ico managed t... Read Full Review

    I know it's a cliché to say this but when you come across a game this good it's hard to describe. I shall try my best though! Perhaps the hardest thing to do is begin because you've got the whole game running through you... Read Full Review
