	Devil May Cry 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 28, 2005 The Action game genre is one that everyone has to love. And anybody who is into the genre realizes that Devil May Cry is one of the top titles. The first Devil May Cry was a huge jump of success for Capcom. But, with the new developers they hired, it seems we are left with a downfall. Capcom said they wanted to fix flaws in the first game, and add to the sequel. Instead, they fixed some of the flaws, but they took away what made the game best.
	Devil May Cry 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 27, 2005 Devil May Cry 2 is an underwhelming sequel in every respect. From its sloppy presentation to its water-downed game play, we’ll be only left to wonder what possessed Capcom to make such a lousy follow up to their original smash hit. Maybe the blame shouldn’t lie with Capcom, rather the fans that could be found pouting in their rooms after repeatedly dying to the same clan of scythe-wielding monstrosities all night long. They whined and wished that the game wasn’t so difficult since they clearly l...
	God of War review (PS2) Reviewed on March 27, 2005 When you first meet Ares early in the game, it's pretty daunting. Hundreds of flaming arrows pierce Athen's midnight sky on their hopeless flight to the god's impenetrable skin. Ares' hand-hurled fireballs blast the city walls to bits, sending rubble tumbling recklessly down the Temple's steps. Frightened villagers scurry about in a panic . . . villagers that you can murder.
	Karaoke Revolution Vol. 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 21, 2005 After several repeated plays of the various songs in the original Karaoke Revolution, it still hardly loses any of its charm. Practically a timeless classic, that one was. Still, deep down in our heart of hearts, the lot of us yearned for more. More songs to sing, and more ways to show that we got soul.
	Devil May Cry review (PS2) Reviewed on March 21, 2005 A legend states that two millennia ago, a demon knight named Sparda sought the right path and rebelled against the Devil to save the human world from hell on Earth. Two thousand years later, a demonic man named Dante unearths clues that reveal an attempt by the Devil to resurrect his rule. Somewhere within Dante lies ancient demon blood, the key to defeating the dark realm. The fate of the world now rests in Dante's hands. If he succeeds, the Devil May Cry.
	Final Fantasy X-2 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 18, 2005 Do you remember the music of the early nineties? It featured a wave of experimental genres and new hybrids, at least compared to the music of the eighties. From Seattle, the raw sound of Nirvana refined the rougher edges of punk, paving the way for later acts such as Green Day, which itself was a hybrid of British punk and “new” alternative. The Black Crowes tried a new fusion of Southern blues with rock and roll. Rage Against the Machine combined political protest lyrics with an aggressive ...
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed on March 18, 2005 Entries of the Final Fantasy series have always been memorable classics of one sort or another. Since the beginning, each of the Final Fantasy games were designed to be nothing less than epic quests for a group of heroes to defeat evil and save the world. (I suppose that’s the appeal of the whole series, really, as anyone can share in the fantasy of being a hero.) Lately, for better or worse, the games have placed a greater emphasis on telling a complex and engaging story. Final Fantasy X is...
	Sega Ages: Golden Axe review (PS2) Reviewed on March 15, 2005 Although this new 3D Tyris isn't drawn quite as sexily as she used to be, the characters all looked attractive... until I saw them up close during their really lame magic spell sequences. As the camera zoomed in, I could see how few polygons were actually used to create the Amazon's pointy face. From then on, the illusion was shattered; even when the camera pulled back out, it was easy to spot the rough edges and graphical flaws because I knew they were there.
	Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening review (PS2) Reviewed on March 14, 2005 The question is however, how hard do you like your action? Do you enjoy a game steeped in technique and loaded with style? And if so, do you want it to kick your arse seven different ways to sunset, only to come back for more once the lights have gone out? If your reply was a confident sounding affirmative then hold on, I'm about to make your day.
	Sega Ages: Space Harrier review (PS2) Reviewed on March 14, 2005 The thing Harrier's got going for it (that even some newer titles lack) is an incredible sense of speed, which picks up even more by the 21st level. The completely redesigned scenery — trees, stone columns, icebergs, and sun-bleached bones — scrolls by at dangerous speeds, and enemies scream by so quickly that you only have a second or two to shoot before they're gone.
	Dark Cloud 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 13, 2005 Near the beginning of the PS2's release a little-known game by the name of Dark Cloud was released. It was fun, but nothing special made it stand out other than its innovative, yet slightly restricted Georama system. It fell into a pit of mediocrity, and before the American release even hit, there was talk of a sequel.
	Manhunt review (PS2) Reviewed on March 12, 2005 Death would have been a luxury for James Earl Cash, considering the hellish situation he was soon plunged into following his execution. He was a convict on Death Row, but that was so long ago, it hardly seemed necessary going into his past. Currently, he was cowering in the shadows like a cockroach while a band of street scum scoured the area, hurling threats and obscenities his way. Their baseball bats were strong enough to demolish concrete structures, and Cash was badly aching from one lucky ...
	Alien Hominid review (PS2) Reviewed on March 11, 2005 Yes, this little terror can decapitate America's finest intelligence officers and then pick his teeth. If he's feeling kinder, he can toss a mounted agent instead of getting brains on his wrinkly lips, but then, what's the fun in that?
	The Incredibles review (PS2) Reviewed on March 11, 2005 The story of Bob Parr and his gifted family of superheroes (wife Mrs. Incredible, children Violet and Dash) is told inexcusably poorly. When you finish the adventure, you still won’t know what the movie is about.
	Maximo: Ghosts to Glory review (PS2) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 I’ve played a handful of good 3D updates lately—Castlevania’s Lament of Innocence was one such solid title—but Maximo outdoes that game and just about any I can think of, at least on one crucial level. Other good 3D follow ups do justice to their predecessors, but Maximo is arguably better than the two 16-bitters to come before it. That’s right, better.
	Wild Arms 3 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 07, 2005 The Wild Arms series has traditionally been an overrated series in my eyes. No offense to the fans, but the 1st game was above-average, but nothing special. It was your typical jaunt through a RPG with a few interesting elements, but there was nothing terribly memorable about it that would make it one of the better RPGs of all time. Wild Arms 2 was a complete failure, as the developers tried to use a worse version of the battle system, along with a terrible storyline. Therefore, I didn't hold mu...
	Sonic Mega Collection Plus review (PS2) Reviewed on March 07, 2005 Sega is the anti-Nintendo. Always have been and always will be. Back in the early 90's, Sega presented itself as the hip and cool console maker, while Nintendo was still aimed at little kiddies and "tradition". Now that Sega doesn't even have a console, they have an excuse to release older titles (unlike Nintendo, which just does it to make money). Of course, they are smart and decided to put a bunch of titles on one disc, unlike Nintendo which puts one game on one portable cartridge. If this wa...
	NCAA Football 2004 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 07, 2005 I am a huge college football fan. It is one of my main passions, and when the season is around, I am into the sport big time. The most surprising part about this is, I never played a NCAA Football game until last year. Well, I did play NCAA 2K3 by Sega Sports, and while I loved it, it did have some basic flaws. I saw NCAA Football 2004 in a store one day, and saw that it had online play. Online play?!? You mean I can go online and play against other people from around the country? What an awesom...
	NCAA College Football 2K3 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 07, 2005 Sega Sports officially become a dynasty in 2003. Let's take a look back as to one of the main reasons why, the incredible NCAA College Football 2K3.
	Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening review (PS2) Reviewed on March 04, 2005 Devil May Cry 3 has a scope that the original in all of its awesomeness couldn't have possibly matched. It actually goes back in time and chronicles the most important moment of Dante's life — the night during which he learned the truth about his birth and fought his twin brother Vergil, his only remaining kin, in an epic battle to the death.
