	Predator: Concrete Jungle review (PS2) Reviewed on December 23, 2005 That’s not to say you can’t have fun. Killing people is a time-honored tradition among the average gamer, and nobody kills people better than a Predator.
	Guitar Hero review (PS2) Reviewed on December 19, 2005
	Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex review (PS2) Reviewed on December 18, 2005 Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex keeps within the pre-existing universe already set up by the anime. The distinctly futuristic Japan is your playground, and the hi-tech gadgetry contained inside your toys. In keeping this universe intact, it presents the player with a unique and fresh game that always manages to impress.
	Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King review (PS2) Reviewed on December 17, 2005 Since this is a Dragon Quest game, though, simply venturing to the cave would have been folly. My hero and his burly sidekick, Yangus, likely would have been dispatched by monsters before even making it halfway down the road to that tourist-unfriendly location. No, as in this game’s predecessors, the wise choice of action was to hang out around town, kill monsters, gain a couple of levels and buy some better equipment.
	The Matrix: Path of Neo review (PS2) Reviewed on December 15, 2005 Granted, I’m not saying it’s the greatest game of the year, or the month, or even the week. It’s got problems…but it’s got strengths, too, and some damn good ones. You’ve got to look at it from a Blue Pill/Red Pill perspective.
	Demon Chaos review (PS2) Reviewed on December 14, 2005 Holy. Fucking. Shit.
	Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter review (PS2) Reviewed on December 12, 2005 You make the best plan, you execute it…and you still wind up dead. Something of a bitch, isn’t it?
	Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on December 11, 2005 That's what makes Digital Devil Saga 2 so powerful — it plays on prior knowledge, whether dealing with something trivial like the Omoikane or something significant like the Serph-Heat-Sera love triangle. That's also why it's so important to play the first episode. Even though Digital Devil Saga 2 explains everything clearly (it's actually less mysterious than the first), the game spends its time advancing the plot instead of developing the characters (although Gale and Cielo are given more opportunity to shine).
	Stuntman review (PS2) Reviewed on December 07, 2005 Reflection crashed onto the gaming scene many years ago with its slick, innovative hit Driver. Years later, Stuntman became Reflection's next attempt at providing gamers with a different kind of 4-wheel entertainment. The buzz about the game was good—let’s face it, taking on the role of a professional stunt driver is a hell of an idea. But like a brail traffic sign, some ideas look so much better on paper.
	50 Cent: Bulletproof review (PS2) Reviewed on December 05, 2005 Instead, Bulletproof plays out to be a poor man's Max Payne. Forget the promises made about our rapping chum carving himself an open path; his destination is set and linear. And dull.
	Magna Carta: Tears of Blood review (PS2) Reviewed on December 05, 2005 They’re all orphans. They all lost their loved ones to war. They all love brooding about it at the slightest provocation. The only person who doesn’t routinely go into a whine-fest is the panty-stealing pervert of the group, Chris, and even he has his moments. Magna Carta is THE game for Linkin Park-listening, depressed teenager, perfect for the ‘emo’ crowd. Boyfriend left you? Failing in school? Not enough hair gel? One or two cutscenes full of angst-ridden hack writing and life will be worth living again, guaranteed.
	Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King review (PS2) Reviewed on November 27, 2005 I'll be honest with you: I'm a big fan of the Dragon Quest series, often famed for having a rather simple storyline, a "boring" battle system, and graphics that most people can only describe as "shit". In fact, I'm such a big fan that I'm often labeled "fanboy" by a surprising number of people. That being said, it should be no surprise that I was salivating over the screenshots of the eighth entry in the series as I anticipated the North American release.
	Mortal Kombat: Deception review (PS2) Reviewed on November 24, 2005 I have a lot of qualms about recent fighting games. Back in the nineties, they were at the top of the industry. Arcades were littered with teenage kids lined up in front of a machine, pounding out the quarters just to digitally smack around any challenger and I was one of them. I remember how involved I became with them. I stood in line, I bought the hint books and I studied the moves. I paid a lot of money and I spent a lot of time just to be the best at every new, kick ass fighting game that c...
	True Crime: New York City review (PS2) Reviewed on November 23, 2005 What happens next is a scene fit for a John Woo movie, dropping you right back into Marcus’ sneakers and getting to the action. A massive gunfight that takes you down hallways, peeking around corners and scoring headshots, using theatre seats for cover and littering the floor with blood and shells. And the fat lady sings during the entire bullet ballet, cementing the scene’s cinematic feel.
	WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 review (PS2) Reviewed on November 19, 2005 This review is dedicated to the memory of Eddie Guerrero.
	Resident Evil 4 review (PS2) Reviewed on November 18, 2005 To most people, Resident Evil 4's very existence is surprising, even moreso that it came out for PS2. Coming in at the tail end of what had so far been a consistent series of flops (except for possibly the remake of Resident Evil 1 on the GCN), no one really expected Resident Evil 4 to be that great - until they actually played it and saw that Capcom finally learned from their previous mistakes.
	Disney's Chicken Little review (PS2) Reviewed on November 18, 2005 While they’re certain to keep everyone entertained, anxious to see what the next level brings, the differing game styles may be disorienting to younger children who aren’t experienced at quickly switching skill sets. The ease with which they quickly finish the first few stages will quickly evaporate once Chicken Little and friends discover the real threat, an alien invasion of sorts.
	The Matrix: Path of Neo review (PS2) Reviewed on November 11, 2005 The Matrix: Path of Neo
	Alias review (PS2) Reviewed on November 10, 2005 A few days ago, I reviewed Final Fantasy X-2, a game I had high expectations for, but ended up sorely disappointing me. Fortunately, there are games out there that manage to not only live up to expectations, but completely blow me away when I least expect it. While these games are not as common as they used to be (I can name dozens of NES games I expected nothing out of and ended up enjoying tremendously), it is still a treat to buy a game not knowing exactly what to expect, yet coming away impr...
	Shadow of the Colossus review (PS2) Reviewed on November 09, 2005 Shadow of the Colossus was hyped to be a completely original experience of gaming. It pits a man against a large array of gigantic monsters called Colossus. It was also said to boast an amazing design in the arts department. Upon completion however, very few of the promised positive aspects were delivered in an effective way. Instead, what we got, was an absolutely huge land, with no enemies or action whatsoever in it, and a boss rush mode.
