A better look at Okami

PS2 News | Okami

Sometimes it's beautiful, and sometimes it's ugly. Either way, Okami is unlike any game you've ever seen. Casting players as a Japanese sun-goddess-turned-wolf, its gameplay involves a mix of platform-hopping, traditional adventure-game quests and using a "celestial brush" to paint objects into the game world. It's hard to comprehend until you've gotten a good look at it, so click on the images tab above and feast your eyes on our new shots of the game. Showing friends, enemies and a lot of ...

Onimusha Movie put on indefinite hold

PS2 News | Onimusha 3: Demon Siege

Announced way back in 2003, given a director 2 years ago, and having confirmed a star a year ago, the film based on the erstwhile Capcom series Onimusha has now hit a big snag, according to an article on movie site Ain't It Cool News.Since the games featured International films stars (most notably Jean Reno), and had very theatrical ways of telling stories, it seemed only natural to adapt it for the screen. The film producers were even ...

Open Season declared on all platforms

PS2 News | Open Season

Before the hype machine for September's CG flick Open Season can even begin, Ubisoft is already letting people know about their video game adaptation. In the grand tradition of Ice Age, Madagascar and Over the Hedge, you control grotesquely disproportioned animals as they engage in wacky hijinks. This time, you're wild forest animals looking to give inept hunters a hard time. This from Ubisoft Montreal - yes, the same Ubisoft Montreal that creates the consistently fantastic Splinter Cell ...

The Top 7... games so bad they had to add breasts

PS2 News | Outlaw Golf 2

An overwhelming majority of gamers are male, so it makes perfect sense for every marketing team in the world to target their software at young guys. And what do all men ages 18 to one zillion love? Girls, gore and big loud machines. If they could make a game about a firefighting bikini squad that hunts down zombies in a decked-out sex/fire truck, world peace would be declared. But until that day, we have to settle with regular old T & A. Developers are well aware of this, so occasionally ...

The Top 7... Girl-on-girl kisses

PS2 News | Outlaw Golf 2

What's hotter than watching a cute princess kiss a fat, middle-aged plumber? Well, anything really, but given the headline above, the answer should be obvious: watching a cute princess kiss another cute princess. It's sexy, it's vaguely taboo and it's pleasantly devoid of bristling mustaches and lingering sewage odors. It's much more common to see girl-on-girl kisses in other media, but it happens in games more often than you'd think. To prove it to you, we've collected the very best ones and ...

Outlaw Golf 2: Exclusive new shots

PS2 News | Outlaw Golf 2

Outlaw Golf 2 provides irreverent fun of the golfing kind for those who like a little more spice when peppering the greens. A simple glance to the right at these exclusive screenshots underlines the fact that, when it comes to risque clubbers, OG2 swings with the best of them.The game is full of modes that wouldn't make it into any 'respectable' golfing title but OG2 likes to throw the etiquette and staid nature of the game out of the window. Multiplayer modes such as Baseball (erm, golf with ...
