	.hack Part 2: Mutation review (PS2) Reviewed on May 19, 2003 Old characters return, but they're hardly involved. Mia, in fact, only shows up in one mission with a reference to a practical joke from the previous game. Her presence here is token, as is the presence of the majority of the cast. It's quickly becoming evident that the story here is really revolving around Kite and BlackRose.
	Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon review (PS2) Reviewed on April 26, 2003 No, multi-player doesn't truly shine until you unlock cooperative levels. This is done by completing those same levels in the single-player mode. Once that's done, the game suddenly doubles in value. Whenever a new friend comes over, the two of you can take on some missions together and lose a few hours without even realizing they went anywhere.
	Tekken 4 review (PS2) Reviewed on April 26, 2003 Had it not been for Namco and its stupendous Tekken series, Sony's console would surely have been ignored by fighting enthusiasts. While Sega's Dreamcast kept getting faithful ports of Arcade classics (of which there are too may to list!), the PlayStation could barely oppose some resistance with some of the same titles getting horrible conversions (without mentioning how it lacks a proper additional joystick for fighters). Thankfully, PSX enthusiasts could always revert back to the...
	Devil May Cry 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on April 21, 2003 Devil May Cry was a huge surprise hit by Capcom. Dante became the ultimate badass in videogaming, a half devil creature with one heck of an attitude. He was quick witted with a flashy statement, and guns to back it up. That was the original Devil May Cry, the sequel has a much lamer Dante, and overall a lamer game. Now this review is going to center on the many bad points in Devil May Cry 2, but don't get me wrong, this is not really a horrible game. I do not really regret buying it, although I ...
	Gitaroo-Man review (PS2) Reviewed on April 04, 2003 Gitaroo-Man will remain a heavily under-appreciated game. FACT. Sliding in silently to the music-rhythm genre, it joins Busta-A-Groove and Parappa as Konami's Bemani series' less attractive cousins. Less attractive in the fact that they don't whore themselves to the great unwashed. True beauty however is in the eye, or in this case ear of the beholder.
	Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus review (PS2) Reviewed on March 26, 2003 Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to tell you a little tale. It begins with a young boy named Sly Cooper, descendant of a long line of master thieves. The Cooper bloodline is infamous throughout the world, and each of Sly's ancestors have written down their greatest secrets and techniques in a diary called the Thievius Raccoonus, which has been passed down from generation to generation. More than just a book, the Thievius Raccoonus is the Cooper family's most prized heirloom, acting as both a le...
	Namco Museum review (PS2) Reviewed on March 24, 2003 Namco Museum is pretty much just one big set of mini-games. Coming with a quite large list of games from the age of gaming where sound, plot and graphics weren't important. It was all about High Scores and Gameplay, woo!
	Dark Cloud review (PS2) Reviewed on March 24, 2003 Dark Cloud was an almost-likable experience. I had alot of fun building up my weapons, rebuilding towns and figuring out where the townspeople wanted to be. Unfortunantly, there's only a few dungeons in the game. And all they are is pretty much the same surroundings(although the levels are randomly generated) for 15-20 levels, and the same monsters as the dungeon before, except with a palette swap.
	Devil May Cry 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 21, 2003 Contrary to what you may have read, Devil May Cry 2 is NOT a bad game...I know it's not for everyone, but for everyone that likes games for the actual game, you'll love this. Here's why.
	Galerians: Ash review (PS2) Reviewed on March 13, 2003 For people who are thinking about buying this game, I want to warn you. The Galerian series has never been marketed well, and reviewers on the pro magazines consistently can't seem to figure out how to categorize it. As a result, a lot of people try this game expecting X, and they're surprised and displeased when they get Y instead. So first, let me tell you what this game is *not*:
	.hack Part 1: Infection review (PS2) Reviewed on February 17, 2003 Let the buff guy go in and take the damage while you back him up with healing spells to keep him from dying. If he should die, you can always revive him with the appropriate item. Unfortunately, your buddies won't return the favor. Even if you buy them healing items and hand them over, those friends of yours will just stare blankly at your ghost should you happen to perish in battle.
	Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus review (PS2) Reviewed on February 09, 2003 As Sly Cooper, you'll be able to learn quite a bit as one page of the Thievius Raccoonus after another falls into your paws. There are somewhere around 15 moves--some of them merely enhancements of simpler ones--that you can learn. But here's the best part: none of them are required. You can go through the game without learning a single one if you're so inclined.
	Devil May Cry review (PS2) Reviewed on February 08, 2003 You know Resident Evil 2.
	Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review (PS2) Reviewed on February 08, 2003 Rain pouring down, cars driving at a frightful speed in spite of the slippery bridge…It's one of those days where all you can think about is to return home and take a nice nap while thunder and lightning lets loose around you. Your decision is already taken; you just don't feel like doing something else…
	Dynasty Warriors 3 review (PS2) Reviewed on February 07, 2003 -----------------------------
	Jet X2O review (PS2) Reviewed on February 04, 2003 Don't pass through enough gates or perform enough tricks and your opponents will leave you in their wake for certain. Get too experimental and try tricks you can't manage, and you'll wipe out and loose a huge chunk of that carefully-acquired rocket power. Success in a race means you've learned to walk the fine line between daring and intelligent, with just enough attention to each attribute.
	The Getaway review (PS2) Reviewed on January 22, 2003 Have you ever fancied visiting England's vibrant and exciting capital city London, but you just can't afford the ticket? Ever wanted to drive around London shooting gangsters, but don't want to spend anytime at Her Majesty's Pleasure? Ever wanted to be a corrupt police officer trying to rid the streets of London of crime?
	Gungrave review (PS2) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 The lumbering goon of a main character, Grave, is well-equipped for fighting the mindless goons of this world, but wouldn't last a minute if he were up against the misfits from Streets of Rage, Shinobi, or pretty much any other game where the opposition actually fights back.
	Kingdom Hearts review (PS2) Reviewed on January 16, 2003 Disney and Square. It seems like a video and mainstream match made in heaven. One is a giant in the movie industry, famous for their children’s movies that have entertained generations, monopolistic policies that endanger the lives of poor workers in third class countries, and for introducing some of the most memorable characters ever by way of world class animation. The other is a giant in the video game industry, famous for bringing roleplaying games, formerly a pursuit of just the hardcore...
	Shinobi review (PS2) Reviewed on January 15, 2003 But then there are those who'll love the challenge, revel in the startlingly addictive gameplay, and see past the mundane-looking environments, amazing themselves with the slick, fashionable elegance the game's artwork possesses.
