Barbarian, Nintendo GameCube

An age of darkness has beset Barbarian, its origin a mystery until now. A man known only as Zaugg is said to have woven magic so vile that the land itself is eroding from its evil corruption. Prophecy foretold of this wicked time, placing the only chance of salvation on the shoulders of one hero of Barbarian. Heroes of Barbarian come in many forms and from many places. Their motives to stop the madness forged by Zaugg are more than ending his growing power. Who they are, why they quest, and what they will become is destiny. Only one has the power to succeed!

Super Monkey Ball 2
Super Monkey Ball. Rarely is a game title so apt, and when Aiai, Meemee, Baby and Gongon first rolled around on our TV's when GameCube launched in May of 2002, Super Monkey Ball was one of Sega's best sellers, and rightly so. Now that the imaginatively titled Super Monkey Ball 2 is ready - a game destined for heavy scrutiny by its hardcore followers - can gamers expect more levels, more mini-games...
Worms 3D
It's called Worms 3D. We know this because we heard it from the horse's mouth. Or should that be the concrete donkey's mouth? Anyhow, somewhere between Activision's 'umm-ing and aah-ing' and SEGA's re-emergence in Europe, it's not just Worms 3 anymore - let the people know what's coming to them, and tell them it's got a third dimension this time around. SEGA of Europe's firm commitment to publish ...
Spider-Man 2: The Movie
Always popular in video games, Marvel's Spider-Man has graced consoles for many years, but of course it wasn't until the dawn of PlayStation and Saturn et al that the spandex-clad super-hero was born in 3D. 2002's Spider-Man, based upon the movie of the same name, was once the most successful offering, but that all changes with Spider-Man 2, Activision's next 3D-action game, based on the Sam Raimi...

Ultimate Spider-Man
When bitten by spiders on planet Earth, you can normally expect one of the following to happen: mild discomfort, but otherwise no ill effects; illness; horrific rotting of the skin; an unpleasant and feverish death, even. But, when mild mannered orphan Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider, something much better followed: the creation of surely the greatest hero ever to grace the pages o...
Ribbit King
Whilst western games tend to be of a more, shall we say, sane nature, basing themselves upon classic good-versus-evil plots and familiar gameplay approaches, many Japanese developers, and indeed consumers, have a penchant for the bizarre and twisted. The likes of Hamster Paradise and Nakayoshi Pet Advance are popular in their home territory, but such games are rarely awarded a western release. Ban...
