Vigilante 8: 2nd Offence, Electronic Games

Vigilante 8: Second Offence delivers non-stop intense full-throttle auto-combat complete with 18 new outrageous vehicles, which can be modified with high-tech enhancements and propulsion power-ups that morph into place. As players advance through the game, they have the ability to acquire “salvage points” each time an enemy is destroyed. By collecting points, players are able to enhance and upgrade their vehicle with new attachments including wider tires and spoiler wings. The more points the player collects, the more upgrades they will receive; the ultimate upgrade is a completely new car chassis. The power-ups, which can be found throughout each arena, provide gamers with improved driving on snow and water and the ability to hover above the ground. The sequel expands on all of the breakthrough features of Vigilante 8 including one of the most popular and unique elements of the original game, the quest mode, by introducing larger and more challenging quests with more diverse objectives. From the bayous of the South to the Steel Mills of the East, each of the eight destructible arenas features unique interactive terrain-based gameplay elements that player's can use to their advantage. The game introduces an improved level of graphical detail including exhaust, fog, water effects, brake lights and bigger and better explosions. Additionally, the game features six different modes of play - quest mode, arcade mode, survival mode, two-player head-to-head, two-player cooperative and two-player quest mode. The game also offers multiple play perspectives, inside the car, behind the car and a split-screen option for two-player action.

Headhunter: Redemption
A late entry on Dreamcast, Sega's stealth-puzzler Headhunter made relatively little noise when launched in 2001. But those who did have the pleasure of the DC adventure were kindly rewarded with a fine blend of level design, intuitive controls and character development. Almost three years on, a respected software-only Sega has put the finishing touches on Headhunder: Redemption, a direct sequel th...
Max Payne
Max Payne has nothing to lose. A fugitive undercover cop, he has been framed for a murder and now has to contend with being hunted down by the police and the Mafia. Not a great start to anyone's day. Developed by Remedy Entertainment, Max Payne is a unique title.

The game charts a most interesting time in mutant history. The devilish Apocalypse has gotten hold of a secret prophecy which looks to be the...
The Haunted Mansion
There are some people who go looking for trouble. Witness Street Fighter II's Xangieff, he of the shin merkins, to pick a random example. Unfortunately for some, trouble has a way of finding its own targets to pick on, and in this case, the blighter has singled out Zeke Holloway, the fine-looking fellow at the centre of the film/amusement park ride spin-off that is The Haunted Mansion. 999 souls a...
Downforce
The GBA port of Downforce is not likely to bear much resemblance technically to the PS2 and XBox versions, but it is essentially the same game. As the story goes, Formula 1 racing has become boring, so the drivers, teams and public have decided to move on to 'pastures more exciting'. Condemned by the FIA for being too dangerous, this new league is banned from using the world's F1 circuits, so ther...
Tony Hawk's Skateboarding
Tony Hawk's Skateboarding game for the Nintendo 64 is one of the best games available for the system. No longer will rainy days seem so bad as now you can skate indoors. Skateboarding is a cool sport and translates well to the N64. The Playstation version has been extremely successful and one of the reasons for this was its originality. Not only do you get pick from several professional skaters bu...
