PS2 Feature | Ratchet Deadlocked
Dont let that furry face fool you. Ratchets back pocket holds more hi-tech gadgets than James Bonds garden shed. Despite the puzzles, the platforms and the slick cutscenes, the Ratchet & Clank games have as much furious action as any PS2 shooter out there. With the series now inbound on PS3, its time to take a look back and reflect on why you should be excited about it. Resistance proved once more that Insomniac can craft imaginative weapons and realize them slickly. Now, with that PS3 ...

PS2 Feature | Red Dead Revolver
Red Dead Revolver has been a long time in the making. Originally conceived by Angel Studios, and due to be released by Capcom last year, development came to a standstill when developer and publisher couldn't agree on the direction the game should take. With the game having made a positive first impression way back at May 2002's E3 event, it was pleasing to see development of the dormant title revived when Rockstar snapped up Angel Studios (and subsequently renamed them Rockstar San Diego) 18 ...

PS2 Feature | Resident Evil 4
From throwaway ideas tacked onto games that aren't much to begin with, to genuine labors of love - gifts from the developers to you - the world of the bonus minigame is wide, varied and rarely more than a couple of minutes long. Here're a bunch of our favorites. Mario vs. Luigi in New Super Mario Bros An insanely intense two-player battle that turns the classic Mario platforming action into a feat of endurance. The aim is to be first to collect up to 10 stars, but if the players decide to ...

PS2 Feature | Rock Band
Dec 14, 2007 Guitar Hero became insanely popular due to its reality-distorting rock star vibe, a feeling that makes even a timid rookie playing on Easy feel like a shredding genius. Rock Band takes this effect even further, offering the sensation that everyone in the room is capable of singing the highest of notes and filling the most demanding drum solos in music history. It's quite a rush. Such a rush, in fact, it led us to award the game 10 out of 10. But it's an illusion. The plastic ...

But a lot of the interest is coming from the just-unveiled White Knight Story for PS3, which debuted in a stunning trailer at the Tokyo Game Show. During TGS, we had an opportunity to sit down with Akihiro Hino, Level-5's CEO and president, and pick his brain about ...
