Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22, Sony Playstation

Dragonball's cult status guarantees Ultimate Battle 22 a degree of success, even though this particular game originated on PlayStation in 1996. Massive in Japan, it won't storm the charts in the UK, but some Eurogamers have been waiting a long time for this game. The wait is now over, so let battle commence. The best way to approach Ultimate Battle 22 is to go for the Build Up option. From the characters on offer, choose the one that you want to improve, and let the fighting begin. The character you train in Build Up mode can now fight with their new skills against a friend with a memory card containing his or her 'built up' character's data. The more you fight, the more your character learns. Not only will their attack strength and defence improve, but also their resistance and fight techniques. You will gain all the experience you need to make your character the most powerful fighter of all. There are some nifty moves common to all characters in Ultimate Battle 22: along with the run, jumps and attacks, you also get to levitate - handy when avoiding those pesky energy balls. There are many special moves exclusive to certain characters. The mohawked, pointy-eared freak that is Kaiohshin can block an attack with his Immobilizator(!) and deal some damage with his Quadruple God Kick; Likum can 'delete' his opponent, C16 might give you the hard stare with his Laser Eyes attack, and do we really need to explain Super Trunks' Burning Jet? With 22 characters to choose from, Dragonball Z Ultimate Battle 22 will provide many hours of fun, especially against a friend with a memory card full of fighting attitude. As a footnote, make sure you check out the biographies of the fighters in the game's booklet - hugely entertaining reading!

Let me start by asking you a question. How many of you have heard the term “button bashing?” Hopefully, many of you will have a pleasant grin on your face. If you haven't got even the slightest idea what I'm talking about, stop reading. Button bashers, read on. Button bashing techniques were used solely for the use of athletics games during the days of early arcades. As time progressed...
Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
It is, we admit, sometimes difficult to keep track of all the different World War II shooters. But Call of Duty was a pretty stand out effort, a FPS that was both arcadey and atmospheric, with a structure that eschewed giving you one player to control for the whole game in favour of a range of protagonists to play as: an American Paratrooper, a Royal Marine Commando and a Russian tank commander. I...

At the same time, the temperature is dropping as it gets colder and colder every day. The latest person to commit one of these strange killings is Lucas Kane. Suddenly entering a sort of trance he car...

Hot Wheels Velocity X
Coveting Hot Wheels cars made up for many an hour in the newsagents back in the early eighties, playing with them even more. When staring at the traditional Atari VCS, strewn across the lounge floor, along with a miniature garage of epic proportions, the concept of the two joining in a fully-interactive 3D racing game would have been too much for our comparatively Neanderthal imaginations to handl...
Mega Man: Powered Up
The original Mega Man, which was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, undergoes a complete transformation in Mega Man Powered Up. The PSP version sees many of the core level designs totally revamped. There is also a number of crazy mini-games for players to enjoy and a level editor to add your own slant to the game. Beneath all the gloss though, this is still the original Mega Man you ma...
