PaRappa the Rapper review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 2004Before 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... |

Mortal Kombat 3 review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 2004Can 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... |

MDK review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 2004MDK - 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. |

Loaded review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 2004Picture 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. |

Koudelka review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 2004A 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. |

Jupiter Strike review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 2004Jupiter 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 ... |

Gekido review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 20041989 was my favourite year in arcade games. Golden Axe arrived, Final Fight arrived, and just crossing the threshold of an arcade gave me a massive anticipatory rush. My friends and I were living through the glorious rise of the Side-Scrolling Beat-Em-Up, and cooperatively smashing a path through thousands of bad dudes in games with untouchable levels of spectacle, hilarity and gratuitousness (I JUST DESTROYED A PHONEBOOTH BY THROWING EIGHT PEOPLE INTO IT AT ONCE!) was the greatest thing ... |

Gauntlet Legends review (PSX)Reviewed on March 08, 2004Ye olde introduction |

Galerians review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004Who or what are Galerians? |

Dino Crisis review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004Regina slumped against the medical room door. Relief that the horrors were locked out, at least for a moment, settled upon her with the same slow weight as the aqua neon glare. Dragging herself across the room, she was only now becoming aware of the pain from her wound as the adrenaline ebbed. Crimson splashes fell steadily onto the gleaming white tiles as she moved from the door to the bed. |

Deathtrap Dungeon review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004I have grown to love Deathtrap Dungeon. |

Darkstalkers review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004Though being highly aware of them all, I'm amazed to say I'd never actually played one of Capcom's cartoon beat-em-ups prior to this one, either at the arcade or on a console. When I saw this game going cheap second-hand, and that it had a mob of supernatural/mythical creatures (vampire, catwoman, a Frankenstein type, werewolf, succubus) scrapping in colourful 2D Street Fighter style, I thought it looked pretty cool and it was time to have a go. |

Danger Girl review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004When Danger Girl sashayed past me offering not one but three hyper-gynoidal heroines to play, and hot lashings of stealthy action-adventure, I groaned and almost fell over at the prospect. |

D review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004One night in a downtown LA hospital under the gaze of a full moon, Doctor Richter Harris apparently goes insane and, without warning, carries out a mass murder of staff and patients. |

Bust A Groove review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004After an ongoing farce in which I kept trying to buy 'Bust a MOVE' second-hand, and kept failing miserably (right disc, wrong cover... right cover, wrong disc... you name it, it happened), I unexpectedly found myself the confused owner of the famous but untried-by-me Bust A GROOVE. And before I knew it, I was |

Bushido Blade review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004Bushido Blade (BB) is Squaresoft's infamous samurai swordfighting game of one-hit kills. There are no health gauges, combo counters or special powers here. BB follows the impulse of realism: One properly executed stab to the head or torso will end life immediately. Blows to limbs maim those limbs, legs can be rendered useless so that your opponent is reduced to crawling or just lying on the ground, and the whole thing is confidently presented in status-free glory. There's no text, no mess... |

Bug Riders review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004For centuries, man dreamt of flight. |

Akuji the Heartless review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2004If you were about to be married but suddenly had your heart ripped out in a voodoo ambush by your treacherous brother, who then proceeded to toss your soul into Hades, you'd be more than a little pissed off too. This happened to Akuji the Heartless, and provides the background story for the game. As Akuji, it's your goal to hack your way out of hell, achieving some weird kind of redemption en route, and to take revenge upon the people who cast you down. (See, they don't just call him 'the heartl... |

40 Winks review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 200440 Winks aims its cute and dreamy self directly at one of the toughest arenas of gaming to crack - the nebulous zone in which young children and almost-teens swim together. Perhaps at the same time it hopes (in vain?) that the Mario-like powers of 'universal appeal' will embrace and hold onto the rest of the audience. The game is a wonder-filled 3D fantasy platformer in which a doe-eyed young sister and brother pair named Ruff and Tumble enter the worlds of their dreams to rescue the rema... |

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review (PSX)Reviewed on March 06, 2004Okay then, folks, a quick show of hands. Who knows who Tony Hawk is? Good. Now how many of you had heard of Tony Hawk before the videogames? R-i-i-i-ght. |
