	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix review (WII) Reviewed on July 31, 2007 EA have produced all of the Harry Potter movie tie-in videogames to date. In the same space of time in which J. K. Rowling gave us seven novels using one trusted old technology – that of the printed word – EA gave us five videogames spanning three generations of increasingly powerful gaming consoles. And they've still managed to make the same darn game on at least three of those occasions, or so mutters my inner cynic. Yet this doesn't really matter. The EA Potter games are remarkably consistent...	2.5/5
	Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast review (GCN) Reviewed on November 12, 2004 Kyle Katarn is back! Well, yes. Exactly.	3.5/5
	The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers review (GCN) Reviewed on April 12, 2004 One ring to rule them all	2/5
	Wizard of Wor review (ARC) Reviewed on April 12, 2004 In 1980, Midway released into US arcades a coin-op maze game which was to become a cultural phenomenon. It was intuitive to play, cute and brilliantly designed, and was even as popular with the girls as it was with the boys. That game was the Namco-designed Pacman.	4/5
	Time Crisis: Project Titan review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 There's a new kid in town who's come to bring joy to slavering title-starved owners of the Gun-Con 45 for the Playstation. If you'd resorted to pointing the light-gun at your sister and making 'PEOO! PEOO!' noises for the past few months trying to stave off withdrawal systems, well it's time to stop, because Time Crisis: Project Titan has entered the building. What's more, this game is a Playstation exclusive, which somehow makes it a whole lot more fun and places a big silly grin on your...	4/5
	Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 The Star Wars Universe is a violent place, in a bloodless kind of way (the occasional piece of lightsaber dismemberment excepted). Through all of the films, we've enjoyed countless spectacular person to person battles, whether the weapons were blasters, gaffi sticks, lightsabers or the Force. Gamers pined for years for all of this violent stuff and a solid range of characters from the Star Wars world to be distilled into a one-on-one fighting game. We didn't just want to be able to recrea...	4.5/5
	Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 The taxation of trade routes to outlying systems is in dispute. The Greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo with a blockade of deadly battleships...	3.5/5
	South Park review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 I rented South Park for the weekend, and I am about to do everything within my power to dissuade you from having even this much (or this little) to do with the game.	1/5
	Soul of the Samurai review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 The road travelled by the samurai is serpentine. Starting in Japan, moving through America and finally spreading to Europe and the PAL territories of the world, Konami's Soul of the Samurai spent a bizarre one and a half years in pilgrimage before it reached my shores (Australia), and apparently experienced such enlightenment en route that it adopted the sharper new name of Ronin Blade. I'm not sure of the reasons for either the uncharacteristically long delay or the name change, b...	4/5
	Shadow Man review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Never before have I been so depressed and disappointed by a Playstation game for which I had high expectations as I was in the case of Acclaim's Shadow Man.	1.5/5
	Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Cars, Gadgets and Combat. Three cool things which can be rearranged in a mighty six possible permutations if you lay them end to end, but that's not important right now. What is important is that the transition of this kind of car combat fun from James Bond movies (''Now pay attention 007! This cigarette lighter also triples as an eyebrow trimmer and portable napalm thrower.'') to videogames was as inevitable as my completing this sentence with the word inevitable. From Spy Hunter ...	4/5
	Resident Evil 3: Nemesis review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is the third journey into one of my favourite horror worlds, and like the third instalment of any trilogy whose power has created an increasingly anxious and intense fan base (of which I am a proud member), RE3 arrived pregnant with meaning. Incumbent upon the game were the emotional and technical expectations from fans, as well as a greater awareness amongst the gaming population at large; thus it was bound by fate to elicit the most varied reactions to date.	4.5/5
	Quake II review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 I would like to be able to say that the game I consider to be the greatest across the board technical achievement for the Playstation is actually an original title for the console. I can't, because it is Quake II, a port of id Software's PC-originated first-person shooter (FPS).	5/5
	Parasite Eve II review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 AYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!	2.5/5
	PaRappa the Rapper review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Before Um Jammer Lammy, before Parappa the Rapper 2... well, obviously... there was Parappa the Rapper! The original adventures of the rappin' hip hop canine hero weirded their way onto the Playstation in 1996. Too original, too insane and too charming for anyone to deny, the game proved massively influential for all musical and cartoon games to follow. It also became an instant cult item of such endearing strength that to this day, it remains difficult to find a copy if you...	3.5/5
	Mortal Kombat 3 review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Can you remember the first second-hand game you ever bought for your Playstation? For me it was Mortal Kombat Three. This was also the second title I ever fired up on the console, so it's not surprising that it made me 'ooh' and 'ah' initially as arcadey blood splashed into my violence-lusting eyes, and I listened to the roars of 'FATALITY!' But the passing of time and the collection of further games first wounded and then dissolved the shock of the MK3 new, so that eventually the game be...	3/5
	MDK review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 MDK - It's a tongue-in-cheek acronym for Murder Death Kill, and it's the title of this spectacular 3rd-person shoot-em-up. Playstation MDK is a port from the Mac and PC versions, and if anything this could be the 'funnest' version yet. It also boasts a new musical soundtrack from Tommy Tallarico studios, which is one of the most original and exciting I've encountered in any game ever. It's definitely now a favourite of mine.	4.5/5
	Loaded review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Picture in your mind the arcade classic Gauntlet. Now remove from the game the wizard and his friends. Replace them with escaped mental patients who are criminally psychotic. Travel to an outer space penal colony of the future, splash buckets of gore over the whole enterprise and inject some black humour of a decidedly British flavour: You have just conjured up Loaded.	3/5
	Koudelka review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 A young black-clad woman trots on horseback through the dismal green-grey landscape of turn of the nineteenth century Wales. A soprano cries a monk's hymn in the background. Chimes are struck, and the funereal rumble of a drum suggests that this woman's journey will lead into mystery, or her doom.	4/5
	Jupiter Strike review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Jupiter is an exciting planet. I'd go so far as to say it's the excitingest planet in the galaxy. It's an elephantine, reddish gassy giant with a day period consisting of a cracking ten Earth hours and a diameter eleven times the size of Earth's. That makes it the biggest hunk of fast-rotating rock and dust in the galaxy. They even have Helium in the atmosphere on Jupiter, just sitting there. You don't have to suck it out of a balloon-inflating device or anything! Imagine all the squeaky-voiced ...	1/5
