Warpath: Jurassic Park, Sony Playstation

The beat-em-up genre dates back many, many years, but to a large percentage of the game-playing public, the genre only began in 1991, with the release of the Capcom classic, Street Fighter 2. After setting such a high standard, this all-time classic received a number of sequels, and hundreds of clones from other software houses. Once the genre turned 3D, beat-em-ups became significantly more advanced than their 2D counterparts. With originality now at an all-time low, the beat-em-up market can only improvise on what it already has. Warpath: Jurassic Park incorporates classic 3D fighting styles, but with the inclusion of dinosaurs as opposed to human beings. Similar to the older title, Primal Rage, the incorporation of prehistoric beings, namely dinosaurs, allows, if nothing else, for some unique combat. Since based around Jurassic Park, the game's fighting environments take place across some of the land mark locations taken from the Spielberg classics. Choosing a fighter should be done with consideration; you must decide between size, and agility. Should you choose T-Rex, you will have an easy ride for a large part of the game. Triceratops are trickier to master, but are ultimately more desirable with practice. Edible power ups in the form of human beings give Warpath an original touch, but other than that, it remains a simple beat-em-up.

Final Fantasy VIII
Like its predecessor, FFVII, Final Fantasy Eight is, at the time of release, the biggest game the world has ever seen. The beautifully rendered introductions scenes form the perfect start to a game which is vast and involving. With so many variables and sub-plots that it is unlikely that no-one will ever play it all, even if they do reach the end. If Square continue to progress at this rate, it is...
WRC II Extreme
The original WRC made some of the biggest, boldest promises ever seen in the world of interactive entertainment. Sony's in-house development team, before previewing the title at E3, assured us that massive, free-roaming environments would be accompanied by the most realistic set of physics ever seen in a car game. This turned out to be a slight stretching of the truth. Drunken, bitter developers f...
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
In the beginning there was What's My Line? Then came Magnus Magnusson and Mastermind. Now there is Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, and in the grand tradition of peak-time TV quiz shows, like the C64's Play Your Cards Right and student fave Block Busters, it has made its journey to a game platform. Whereas TV shows from the distant past came in unwieldy boxes and relied on cut-out pieces of card or ...
Everybody's Golf
Minna no Golf is practically a household name in Japan, where the golf title has been pretty successful on Sony's PS2. It never seems to make it over here though, which is a shame, as it is rather good. That's all set to change come September 2005 though, as the golfing title stands proudly in the launch line-up of the long-awaited Sony PSP. Titled Everybody's Golf, the game spurns the new-fangled...
