	Gauntlet: Dark Legacy review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown With dozens of monsters to slay, power-ups to do it with and an arsenal of weaponry, Gauntlet has it where it counts. But is that good enough to stand up against other games, such as Diablo and Baulders Gate: Dark alliance?
	ICO review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Waif-like freaks who don't speak your language never looked so good...
	Devil May Cry review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Devil May Cry's gameplay is like a cross between Castlevania, Resident Evil, Mario, and a corny 80's horror movie.
	Onimusha: Warlords review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown If you're familiar with Capcom's own Resident Evil series, you'll probably have a good idea of how Onimusha plays. The simplest way to think of it is Resident Evil, in ancient China, with a few RPG elements. But that's only the simple explanation. It also has many other aspects which are reminiscent of a variety of genres. There will be
	Devil May Cry review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown With beautiful graphics, crisp sound and music, excellent game play, this should keep you enthralled for hours at least. Among the obvious, this game holds the two greatest things that make a great video game. Big swords and unlimited ammo.
	Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown THPS3 was not as anticipated as I thought it would be, like the second one was hugely popular when it first launched. This makes me mad, as the third installment for the PS2 is by far the cream of the crop. It has so many improvements and is so much more lifelike than the other two it is unreal. The graphics, audio, gameplay, controls, everything has been changed/improved. Whenever I say changes, I mean for the better. Now onto the review!
	NFL 2K2 review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown For many years, there has really only been one name in console football simulations; that of John Madden and his excellent Electronic Arts’ title. Sure, there are other titles to choose from but Madden has always been so good, gamers instinctively stick to this series. But with the end of the Dreamcast, Sega Sports has decided to import it’s own football title to other systems. NFL2K2 might be the closest rival Madden has in the console world.
	Soul Reaver 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Soul Reaver 2 is a hybrid. It combines action, platform, RPG and adventure, all into one ingenious sub-sub-genre. This makes for one hell of a game! The graphics are stunning, the sound is nicely orchestrated, it's easy to control, it's easy to grasp, and it has some really unique qualities which just add to the experience by a ton.
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown FFX introduces many new elements which have never been seen before in a Final Fantasy game. I guess the one with the biggest impact is the new battle system. Square finally decided to just throw exp/levelling-up out the window.
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Final Fantasy X is a very good game. In fact, judged solely on gameplay and storyline, it's a great game. However, there's a lot of little things that continually add up to make Final Fantasy X somewhat lacking. In a series that is well known for a high standard of quality, the little things add up more-so than in a non-descript RPG series. It's a huge step up from Final Fantasy IX, which is a grossly overrated game, but it's not quite the leap that Final Fantasy VII...
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown When a game series makes the jump to one generation to the next, you expect certain things. The jump to the NES to the SNES gave square more freedom to tell a story with more lines of text and better quality music. With the PSX you where immersed in computer generated movies. But some would argue that while technology got better, then gameplay suffered. That’s a matter of opinion I suppose. But the change from the PSX to the PS2 is just a significant as the ones preceding it.
	Maximo: Ghosts to Glory review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown While the majority of platformers are based mostly on exploration, platform-jumping and mini-games, Maximo is probably 50% fighting, 50% platforming. It concentrates a lot more on battle than other games of it's genre, which is partly what makes the game so different and fun.
	Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown 80 events. Sound like a big number? It is. While the first GT featured a healthy number of events, and GT2 featured more than double as many events as the first, GT3 more than triples the number of GT2's events. There is also a lot more variety in the races here.
	Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Great storyline and voice-acting combined with some juicy, blood-sucking sound effects make you want to play the game. I can't guarantee it will be a smooth ride the whole way through, but it's nonetheless worth a trip into the gothic realm of Blood Omen 2.
	Grand Theft Auto III review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Playstation 2 owners certainly have a lot of reasons to be happy this past year. 2001 saw the release of several great titles like Final Fantasy X, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and Metal Gear Solid 2. While these are great games, there is one title in particular that I believe is Game of the Year: Grand Theft Auto 3.
	Grand Theft Auto III review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Stealing cars, killing innocent pedestrians for their money, pissing off cops... It's all just standard fare for your character in Grand Theft Auto III.
	ICO review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown ''Single white female seeks young horny male to take me by the hand, and lead me from the shadows. Must posess unending patience, and a big stick.''
	Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown The level of realism in this game can really screw you over at times, but it also gives you so many different possibilities when it comes to making it through.
	Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Right from the opening cuscene, set on a rainy Manhatten bridge, you'll notice the wonderful lighting and weather effects. Never before have I seen such a realistic impression of rainfall shown during in-game graphics.
	Oni review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown In fact, this was the first game where I've actually had to use the R3 and L3 buttons. Running and jumping is easy enough, but when it comes to maneuvering, you're screwed. The camera doesn't help this either, as it always seems to be in the wrong place.
