Viewtiful Joe 2 memory mayhem

PS2 News | Viewtiful Joe 2

How do you annoy an American? (Apart from making a game about putting three rounds into an ex-President's polygon-modelled skull.) How about destroying the entire contents of his (or her) PS2 memory card? Well, that's what has happened recently in the US - and it was all down to Sony and Viewtiful Joe 2.The problem arose thanks to a festive demo CD sent out by Sony America that contained a demo for Joe 2 which, when played, resulted in all of those dutifully completed San Andreas missions and ...

PS2 News | Destroy All Humans

You have to try and see it from both sides of the galactic divide. Do you think those Space Invaders wanted to march slowly from side to side? Do you believe that their only ambition in life was to clog the Earth's guns with their Invader dead? No, they had dreams, careers and families too. They were mere innocents, following orders in the war between the humans and those cruel buzzing UFOs that raced cowardly across the top of the screen. So we should be a little more understanding of Crypto ...

First look: Batman Begins...

PS2 News | Batman Begins

Did you know they were making a movie about Batman's origins, revealing the reason he likes to dress up in rubber and beat people up at midnight? Surely Tim Burton's first effort covered all that in as much detail as an audience will ever need, but such trifling matters have never concerned Hollywood.And it doesn't seem to concern Electronic Arts that Batman has the unenviable record of being the worst videogame character of the last seven years, or at least starring in the most consistently ...
