Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 further cemented the fast blurry one into our hearts with an outstanding game that holds up today.
This is a game that sold the platform it was based on. This was the main reason to own a Genesis (or mega drive, as it was also known). This became Sega's answer to Mario - strange considering how aesthetically different... Read Full Review

Pandemonium! (Platinum)
The game is a merry-go-round put on fast forward with a lot of graphical splendour in the background.
Pandemonium was released all the way back in 1996 - making the game almost 10 years old as I write this. However the gameplay feels older - and the game itself isn't all that enticing. It's somewhat funny and ridiculous ... Read Full Review

Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario Brothers 3 is a true classic - standing the test of time as a game that is playable from start to finish.
Released all the way back in 1990 - Super Mario Brothers 3 was a popular game for its time - and being the second sequal to a gaming series which now sports a gaming icon - there was a lot of pressure on Nintendo to crea... Read Full Review

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Tony Hawk 2 fixes every little problem in the original - and provides a truly polished game that is imminently playable.
This game is one of the pinnacle highlights of the Playstation. Released in 2000 from Neversoft - it is the sequal to the 1999 original. And while not as groundbreaking as the original - it has improved immensly on the f... Read Full Review

Bare Knuckle: Ikari no Tekken
A classic that paved the way for modern gaming. A truly fun to play title - no collection is complete without this.
Streets of Rage is 15 years old as I write this. Recently I was browsing through a second hand store and found the game. For only $3 it was a bargain - and I happily went home with my purchase - I was sure to have some h... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer
While not as good as it's PC brother - Command and Conquer is a welcome addition to the Playstation.
Command and Conquer is, if you didn't already know - a war simulator placing you in the hands of a general - who has a duty to arm his troops, create a base - and crush his enemies. Released to huge acclaim on the PC all... Read Full Review

Project Gotham Racing
A very different kind of racer - that focuses on skill and crowd interaction to give a thrilling racing experience.
Project Gotham Racing is not your normal racer. Its name suggests that the game is going to be all about racing - even the back of the case certifies it as a racer. For the most part - thats what this game is. But there ... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 2 (UK)
Resident Evil 2 is more than a sequal to the genre-defining original, it is a horror fest of all that makes gaming great
Resident Evil 2 - when first released all the way back in 1997 was the first game to get the marketing that is now standard in major games releases. It was defined by a lot of hype - and hope. How could Capcom improve up... Read Full Review

Ape Escape
Despite its strange name, Ape Escape provides a rich 3D platforming experience that is quite different.
3D platformers are now an established part of the gaming community, but at the time of Ape Escape's inception, they were still being improved upon and made as playable as their 2D forebears. Ape Escape is a step in the r... Read Full Review

Panzer Dragoon Orta (Platinum Collection)
A fantastically well executed old school shooter, breathing new life into a market saturated with WWII shooters.
Sega are now known as the company that once had a chance to beat Nintendo at it's own game. Back in the early 90's they were at the top, and it wasn't until Sony entered that Sega really began to fail and self-destruct. ... Read Full Review

Smash Court 2
Smash Court Tennis 2 is a game that is imminently playable, and great fun with friends.

Medievil
MediEvil is something of a suprise. Like a Tim Burton dream made into a game, MediEvil is good fun.
MediEvil is something different than your normal Adventure style game. The main character, Sir Dan Fortesque is not someone you would normally play as either. The thing is, he's dead - and arisen from his sarcophagus via... Read Full Review

RollerCoaster Tycoon
It's roots lie within Theme Park and Transport Tycoon, but Rollercoaster Tycoon has improved upon a winning formula.
For all those familiar with Chris Sawyer's earlier work (Transport Tycoon) you should be happy with this, the latest Tycoon game and one where you are in control of a virtual Amusement Park. Don't roll your eyes because ... Read Full Review

Brute Force
An imitation of Halo, Brute Force has enough originality to draw in players who want a break from fighting the Convenant
I'll say it immediately, comparison's between Brute Force and Halo are unavoidable. Both on Xbox, and both shooter's based on distant planets, fighting a constant Alien threat. However, Brute Force is nowhere near as goo... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City goes further and provides more than any game before it, while packing in a gripping story.
