	Shadow Hearts review (PS2) Reviewed on July 15, 2002 Meet Roger Bacon. An elegant English gentleman, he enjoys tea, crumpets, and cricket. Oh yes, he also enjoys slaying priests who meddle with his plans for world domination. Above all, he is a gentleman though.
	Grand Theft Auto III review (PS2) Reviewed on July 13, 2002 The back of the CD case says ''you'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of serious trouble,'' and whoever wrote that sure as hell wasn't kidding. You'll be faced with a lot of plot twists and stabs in the back--all of which you'll get to retaliate for in due course.
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed on July 12, 2002 FFX's gameplay, though, has some truly significant differences from its predecessors. The most drastic change is that you can swap characters in and out during battle simply by pressing the R1 button. This is extremely helpful because it keeps you from getting jacked in boss fights because you brought the ninja instead of the black mage.
	Way of the Samurai review (PS2) Reviewed on July 12, 2002 The year is 1878. The collapse of the Tokugawa shogunate has brought an end to the Age of Samurai. Born to a time that no longer needs or welcomes them, these samurai are a far cry from the heroes and legends that preceded them. This is a story of the Way of the Samurai in their final days. I am Kenji, a nameless Samurai to most whom has come to the Rokkotsu Pass on my way to Tokyo. Two factions vie for power in this area. Only I can decide the outcome of this conflict. I will use my combat skil...
	Bloody Roar 3 review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown However, this game is the next Killer Instinct, one that will keep you shouting obsenities at your friend when he tears you apart with Alice the Rabbit. But if you're one of those gamers that spontainiously combusts when exposed to direct sunlight, thus lacking many friends, this is not the game for you.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
