Kingpin: Life of Crime
Average game with a twist
In its day this game was 'average' with an added twist of humor and grit. As you see from the GS review, the game engine used is off Quake II. GAMEPLAY - is obviously fairly simple. Easy to change weapon etc. Moving w... Read Full Review

Need for Speed Underground 2 (Greatest Hits)
Silky Fast and Fun arcade style game
Okay, where do we begin? Some of us enjoy a simulator style game and others prefer an arcade easy to drive game. This fits somewhere in-between. If you’ve played other Need For Speed (NFS) games then you know what to exp... Read Full Review

Need for Speed Most Wanted
TOTAL FLOP - what a let down! <br /> It went from my Most Wanted List to Most Wasted List.
Just what we’ve been waiting for, haven’t we? Well I certainly was looking forward to this game having played most of the series, even back in the day of the 3DO. As you may well know this culminates the qualities of bot... Read Full Review

Road Rash
Nothing like the original
Road Rash first came to me on the Genesis (Mega Drive) and was super cool; the second installation meant 2 player split screen and twice the fun. The original game didn't follow some hollow story, as this arcade style... Read Full Review

The Godfather
Great idea, poor execution
Having played this game on two different PS2 consoles, I only hope we had a broken copy of this highly aclaimed game. From the off you can see this is a great tribute to an amazing film. Once you have created your ha... Read Full Review

A super slick action FPS with big explosions Hollywood slant <br /> Good: sound, music, graphics. Bad: enemy AI
Wow, where do I begin? Lets start off with saying that this game initially knocks you off your seat but soon becomes a boring shooter, although has some nice touches along the way. Sit back, relax and enjoy the introduct... Read Full Review

Heretic
Solid FPS fun for the historian or aspiring wizard
I have to say this was a brilliant game for me. Having lived in the countryside of rural England and loved all mythical stories and so forth, then being a fan of FPS games, this was ideal. I can understand that many peop... Read Full Review

Bare Knuckle II: Shitou no Chinkon Uta
Best of the rest
If you're looking for a beat-em-up bit of fun with your friends in 1993, then look no further than this game, set in modern day times. This game was up against many platform style games and had to do well to be recognise... Read Full Review

Golden Axe II
A must buy for the Megadrive - Good fun in its day; twice the fun with a friend :)
The Sega Mega Drive gave a great many games that allowed two player action; this was one of those games. Its was fun, but thats all I can say. Even back in the day I remember thinking, this game is a little boring, li... Read Full Review

Manhunt
Repetative gore-fest
Manhunt was Rockstar's hard hitting 3rd person stealth game with a contorversial theme. The good: its a scary idea behind this game. The bad: its far too repetative. As long as you're a sensible person, you should be ... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
A shaky start to a great series
The original game was terribly poor in many aspects which were resolved in the later editions, Rogue Spear etc. However the idea behind the game is brilliant hence its huge success. My review ignores the fact you can ... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Battlefront
Very limited but solid game for anyone... though best for Star War fans
To summarise, this game is meant for multi-player, its a great free-for-all but cannot hold your imagination for long. Why? As solid as this game is (see below), it can be very boring. There is simply one aim, and tha... Read Full Review

Destroy All Humans!
Rent this funny 1950's Sci-fi send up, but don't wast your money buying it.

Resistance: Fall of Man
The perfect launch FPS game with perfect online.<br /> Not innovative though.

Motocross Madness
SOLID: This trick off road bike game can be fun but gets boring.
This 3D game is not a simulator, nor is it an arcade fun get-together with your mates. It simply lets you play around on a dirt bike in barren countryside. You can choose from a small variety of competitions to compete i... Read Full Review

Gran Turismo 3 A-spec (Platinum)

GT3 follows on from the highly successful series of Gran Turismo games one and two. This game is not intended to be arcade but focuses on the realism of racing fast cars. The 3rd installation improves in several ways. ... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
A well balanced glossy game for the PS2. You couldn't ask for more.
Prince of Persia was once a great little platform game on the PC. This new version of the game brings it into a 3D world with PS2 graphics - cool! It makes the most of the PS2's power; so although there are flaws in the ... Read Full Review

Area 51
A solid game but misses the target. RENT IT FIRST !
Please bare with me, as I lost my original long review of this game. So here we go again... Area 51 does a very respectful job, just like most Hollywood movies. It isn't ground breaking and doesn't use the best graphi... Read Full Review

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards

Grand Theft Auto III
Amazing revolutionary PS2 game set to rethink game standards. This is where games go rated 18+
Upon the games release, this game absolutely wowed me. I had always enjoyed the original GTA game on the PC but soon lost interest in its old 2D basement-budget graphics. This new instalment just raised the bar, not by o... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto Mission Pack #1: London, 1969
For a late 90's PC game its rather crude.<br /> More 2D errands to run, but now in London in the Groovy 60's baby !
If you played and enjoyed the first installment, then you would enjoy this edition. The game still holds onto its primative graphics and 2D birds-eye view but keeps you, the gamer, occupied with a simple plot and fun ... Read Full Review

Wolfenstein 3D
THE First 1st Person Game - Feeling nostalgic?
