Viewtiful Joe 2, Sony Playstation

Late 2002 saw Capcom announce that it was going to release Resident Evil 4 and four other all-new (and apparently exclusive) games on the Nintendo Gamecube. The announcement did a lot for the credibility of a console that was still being eyed merely speculatively in many quarters. Resident Evil 4 came out in Europe recently, but one of the games in the four is now in its second iteration. 'Super-hero sim' Viewtiful Joe was a colourful 2D romp in which a video shop worker dons a red suit and indulges in comic book style fisticuffs. It was possible to both slow down and speed up play and perform dramatic combos in the resulting confusion. So successful was Joe on the 'Cube that it was decided to release the game on the PS2 as well. Now Joe returns to both consoles in Viewtiful Joe 2. Joe's girlfriend Silvia - who you had to rescue in the first game, is now a playable character with deadly pompoms and projectiles. Joe has new skills too, including the replay, which allows him to re-enact a move three extra times. As before he can speed up and slow down time, and also the camera can be zoomed in so that Joe can perform flashy, close-up moves Players must swap between the two characters to solve puzzles, as they harness the power of the movies to come through their adventure victorious. Having escaped from Captain Blue's Movieland, their troubles have only just begun - they must fight through Movieworld now, and find and stop the evil Black Emperor, who wants nothing less than to take over the world! Each of the games many levels is a pastiche of a film, from Indiana Jones to Jurassic Park. With the same fast-paced, colourful gameplay and stylish fusion of 2D gameplay with 3D graphics, Viewtiful Joe on PS2 and Gamecube will delight fans of the original.

Rayman Revolution
Let me begin by saying that, if one were to stumble into a room where this game was already in progress, unarmed with the knowledge that there was a console in the vicinity, you could well be fooled into thinking the television was tuned into Nickleodeon or the Cartoon Network. Rayman Revolution is the cartoon you can control...well, almost. But, ooh my life, it's a beautifully made game. It looks...

Digimon World
The portable pocket fighting creature phenomenon continues to grow in popularity. Bandai nearly single-handedly created the virtual pet syndrome with their Tamagotchi toy, and Nintendo's Pokemon expanded the idea to include fighting and collecting. Digimon World for the Sony PSone is another fusion of these addictive concepts. Digimon World is all about collecting, raising, training and supervisin...
Madden NFL 07
Old Man Madden is now approaching instalment number 20 as far as the American Football games go, and the constantly evolving series is back in 2006 for another punt with the prophetically-titled Madden NFL 2007. That's about as 'future' as this game gets, however, with the gameplay pretty much left alone from last time (nothing wrong with that) and just a sprinkling of new features added to the mo...
Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix
Following the original Fear Effect, Eidos Interactive has once again teamed up with Kronos to develop a sequel that is an epic tale of horror and fantasy. Bizarrely subtitled, Retro Helix, Fear Effect 2 is yet another game that spans across a whopping four CD's. Part of the reasoning behind this, other than its size, is the use of a technology called Motion FX 3D. This feature means than in-game s...
