Big Mutha Truckers
Interesting premise, horrible execution.
This game exudes Dukes of Hazzard + Country Music Television appeal. I put on my spongy mesh truckers hat and got ready to drive. Once I started playing the game, the problems appeared. The trashy characters are car... Read Full Review

Um Jammer Lammy
Um Jammer LAAAAAA-MMMMY! Addictive and fun!
This game is a thematic sequel to PlayStation's Parappa the Rapper. It's a rhythm based game with similar quirky graphics and music styles. If you have an opinion on Parappa, odds are your opinion of Um Jammer Lammy wi... Read Full Review

PaRappa The Rapper (PlayStation the Best)
The game that started the rhythm genre!
Parappa the Rapper was the game that made me want a PlayStation. It is the first rhythm game that made it to the mainstream, and is still one of the best. Your character is Parappa, a rapping puppy wearing an orange ... Read Full Review

Sub Hunt
Still the best console based submarine simulator...
This game blew my mind when it came out. It was a novel game idea, and is well executed. The storyline is simple, as with most games of this era: You captain a submarine, and must hunt down and destroy convoys of sh... Read Full Review

Mission X
Great Vertical Scrolling Shooter

Mario no Picross
Amazing Puzzle Game that Spawned a Genre!
Mario's Picross is a really fun puzzle game that never really took off here in North America. It's too bad, too, because it's a really interesting idea. You begin with a grid that has numbers along its edge. Those num... Read Full Review

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Why Take a Great Action Game and Make it Into a Card Battle?
I really enjoyed Kingdom Hearts for PS2, so when Chain of Memories (CoM) was announced for GBA I put it on the top of my wish list. Lo and behold, it showed up shortly after its release. The storyline in this game is... Read Full Review

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

Not meant as a realistic boxing simulator, Mike Tyson's Punchout is a sought after title for the NES. Why Mike Tyson? Well, this game was released back when he was a soft-spoken, unbeatable heavyweight. This was befor... Read Full Review

Women Playing Volleyball in Bikinis...Nothing More or Less

Great Visuals, Distracting and Irritating Play Control
This game is gorgeous, and the perspective is unique and fantastic. Unfortunately, some controls do not translate as well from computer mouse (or gamepad) to PS2 as they could. I had such high hopes for this game, but... Read Full Review

Dungeons & Dragons Heroes

Amazing Side-Scrolling Platformer, Great Replay Value
