Tekken 5

Having success solely on the PlayStation and PlayStation2, Namco are now into their fifth iteration of their ever-growing Tekken franchise.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
First I must begin with an apology because it is extremely difficult to review any Zelda release. When Famitsu awards a perfect score, the recipient is not to be taken lightly: even if it was the most controversial game of the last few years. If this were a trial, the judge would have dismissed the…

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
When GTA 3 was released almost a year ago, it finally gave the masses a reason to own a Playstation 2. One year on and little has changed, except for the release of ICO, and even The Getaway is doing it’s best to avoid Take 2’s behemoth. Believe it or not, I’ve had my suspicions…

ICO (イコ)

As the curtain finally comes down on, what for me was a terrible season, I cannot help but feel that I hate football. The Scottish league like many is a mess, with many clubs facing an uncertain future and I’ve suffered a football television overdose, football is everywhere and its fast becoming boring. Championship Manager…

Shenmue 2
After finishing the first instalment of Shenmue, I felt somewhat disappointed with the game, and spent weeks afterwards wondering why I felt this way about a game that was so hyped and praised months, even years before it was released. It was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed what was undoubtedly one of the games that…

Skies of Arcadia
Judging games by their covers is not necessarily an evil thing and when a release drops with bad cover art and almost no word at all, you can almost be guaranteed to be wasting money on crap. Skies of Arcadia is one exception to the rule and proves itself to be one of the best…

Phantasy Star Online Version 2
Over the last fortnight you would be forgiven in thinking that I have been abducted by aliens, crashed my car or had passed out in the middle of nowhere in a drunken stupor, never to be found again. If you actually know me a little you should have guessed that I had finally got around…
