After stumbling around for awhile trying to find its unique identity, the ATV Offroad Fury series is looking to try something truly unique in this fourth iteration. Along with ATVs, players will now have access to dirt bikes, dune buggies and trophy trucks (okay, maybe they cribbed that from THQ's MX vs ATV series. The point is, it's a cool addition).

Batman Begins again

PS2 News | Batman Begins

Tying in with the June release of the film, Batman Begins dips a clawed toe into the Dark Knight's even murkier past. Focusing on the brutal butchery of Bruce Wayne's parents, the plot of the movie and the game hinges on the dramatic moment that turned the little chap from millionaire brat into millionaire bat. As you can see from these new screens, the game also follows the film series in its ever-gloomier downward spiral, starring American Psycho's Christian Bale alongside those paragons of ...

PS2 News | B-Boy

Wednesday 29 March 2006 Sony has announced B-Boy, a dance-off game centred on stylish skills, for release on PSP and PS2 in September. Billed as a fighting game as much as a rhythm-action game, players are given access to over 800 motion-captured moves in order to 'toprock' and 'freeze' their way to the top of the freestyle pile, from lowly street battles through to the world championships. Makes a difference from 'shooting' and 'driving' our way to the top, at least. Developed by ...
