Quake III Revolution, Sony Playstation

To paraphrase legendary Russian pop duo Lenin and McCarthy (are you sure about this?) “You say you want a revolution, well, you know, we all want to change the world.” Well, I think it's fair to say that anyone whose life has been touched by any of the various Quake games, the PC versions in particular, maybe has had their gaming perspective altered in some way. Quake's various guises across the platforms quickly became the benchmark by which all 'first-person shooters' would be measured. The universally popular brand has made something of a hurried transition to Sony's black 'n' blue box, and at first glance, the lightning-fast game-play and celebrated brutality and bloodshed is evidently intact. So is it really time to dump that copy of Timesplitters and fork out for the purported real deal that is Quake 3 Revolution? Let us enter the arena... A straight port of an existing PC version of Quake wouldn't make a great deal of sense - at the time of release, the PS2 features no online capabilities - so whilst id Software have retained old favourites like Orbb and Daemius, and delightful locations such as The Place of Many Deaths and The House of Pain, five new maps, more weapons and more playable characters have been implemented to lure you in. Career mode in a FPS game? Sort of. In a single player campaign, you can develop your chosen character, save it to a memory card, and import to a friend's PS2 so you can battle as a bot, even when you're not around. The multi-player modes, whether involving just two contenders or the maximum of four, are as good as one would have hoped for, which sounds like faint praise, but isn't. You know Quake, it manages to blow you away every time. There's no need to go overboard about it because those who play it know it: it's the best FPS around and it's now available on what is alleged to be the premier console. The lack of online play and combination mouse/keyboard control is disappointing, and the loading times for the game are frustratingly long, but once in the thick of the action you will realise that Quake 3 Revolution is another good reason to own a PS2.

Warpath: Jurassic Park
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 advan...
Stuart Little 3: Big Photo Adventure
Stuart Little is the enchanting tale of a New York family and their acceptance of their son, a talking mouse. A well-loved American children's book, it was written by E.B. White and illustrated by Garth Williams more than half a century ago. Delightfully, if bizarrely, in the original book Mrs. Little actually gives birth to a small, mouse-like child. The 1999 film of the same name disappointed fa...
This Is Football 2003
The beautiful game just keeps on getting, well, more beautiful. Sony have finally cracked the football genre with This is Football 2003. Discounting the Psone versions in the series, and passing over TIF 2002 (not bad, but no ISS/Pro Evolution) the 2003 model is pretty much there as far as early 21st century soccer titles go. Sony's near-obsessive quest for football heaven is here, and it's made i...
