Bounty Hunter? Starfighter? Er... Super Bombad Racing? Pah. Now here's a Star Wars game worth getting excited about.

Race Driver 2 now TOCAed up

PS2 News | TOCA Race Driver 2

When Race Driver 2 was announced at this year's X03, it took some heroic spinning for Codemasters to portray the omission of the now highly recognisable TOCA brand as something of a step forward. Clearly, it actually wasn't, as all parties have now reached agreement. Race Driver 2 WILL be launched as TOCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator. Ok?To add to the confusion the game will be published as DTM Race Driver 2 in Germany/Benelux and V8 Supercars in Australia/New Zealand.The game, ...

X-Men: Legends screens melee

PS2 News | X-Men Legends

After an early but well received outing at last year's E3, X-Men: Legends is slowly gearing up for a 2004 release. Pitting a team of up to four players against a series of suitably way-out adversaries and mind-bending puzzles, the game blends some fairly intense battles with more traditional RPG fare. Each of the X-Men has their own special ability, naturally, and you'll be able to upgrade them with good old fashioned Experience Points as you go.At the kick-off you'll only be able to select ...

Originally the game was due to be out in time for Christmas before subsequently slipping into this year. We spoke to Sony and they now expect the game to hit the shops in June or July, with July being the most likely. GT4 will be great, this we know, but it would also great to get our blinking mitts on it. Oh well.Speaking of getting our mitts on all things good in gaming (or not, as the case may ...

PS2 News | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
