Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 - first hands-on

PS2 Preview | Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2

We're only slightly kidding with that strapline above: with three separate publishers riding the little orange-clad money train, there are far too many Naruto-based games coming down the pike. However, Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is unique in some important ways. First off, it's on PS2, which means it looks cruddy and old (though improved from the first Uzumaki game) but will be available on what is still far and away the most-played home console in the current ...

Previews Blowout

PS2 Preview | PlayStation 2

For all you gaming addicts looking for a fix, check out these treats: Opoona - Wii A very unusual little game for the Wii that combines community and relationship-building elements with a traditional RPG - a bit like, say, Animal Crossing but with a proper adventure to work through. Even better is the way it uses the Wiis Remote and Nunchuck, allowing you to move with the analog stick and battle by swinging the remote. Crazi Taxi: Fare Wars - PSP We reckon this is just about old enough now ...

Need for Speed ProStreet - hands-on

PS2 Preview | Need for Speed ProStreet

Believe us when we tell you that Electronic Arts is one company with a big eye on the future. Before the last NFS title - Carbon - had even begun development, 20 hand-picked members of the Most Wanted team were set to work on ProStreet, trying to keep the series on the technological bleeding edge while envisaging how tuner culture may evolve in the future. After all, being games about high-performance vehicles, recent Need for Speeds have always had their finger on the tuner scene's beating ...

Ultimate Ninja 2 - jutsu blast

PS2 Preview | Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2

Last year we treated all our fellow Naruto fans to a slam-bang-pow video comprised of the best jutsu moves in Ultimate Ninja. That movie was such a hit, we though you'd all like to check out the latest in overkill and witness the best of the best in Ultimate Ninja 2, which is out next week. Video on this page, but if you're into a more detailed breakdown, read on. Once you're done with this whirlwind tour of face-ravaging megamoves, hit up last year's clip too. ...

Rockstar reveals Manhunt 2's seedy world

PS2 Preview | Manhunt 2

There's little doubt that Manhunt 2 is going to be another unsettling journey into gaming's darkest alleyways. We've witnessed the brutality that wait in both the Wii and PS2 versions and we can confirm that Rockstar is priming another genuinely disturbing episode for gamers to endure. But the 18-rated gore is only one aspect of creating a truly traumatic ordeal - the world in which the unholy horrors are acted out must provide a suitably bleak setting that will submerge the player fully into ...

FIFA 08 - hands-on

PS2 Preview | FIFA 08

In direct opposition to its big bro, mini FIFA is certainly a case of tweaking and fine-tuning over any wholesale alterations. For instance 07s defensive intelligence was a weak point, something that EA was keen to remedy. Thanks to the new right analog player switching and vastly improved AI, any goals you concede will now fall firmly at your feet. This new realistic defending includes increased spatial awareness regarding threats and danger zones, putting more pressure on the ball carrier, ...

Stuntman: Ignition

PS2 Preview | Stuntman: Ignition

Video games are a cornucopia of entertainment options, but you know what's been missing? Another aggravating yet addictive title that makes you want to throw your controller at a puppy's cute face, take a whiz on your console, then keep on playing. Not since the first Stuntman in 2002 have we felt that combo of rage and determination, but with its sequel on the way, now would be a good time to start poppin' Prozacs. Stuntman: Ignition puts you in the shoes of a virtual Burt Reynolds, circa ...

Growlanser: Heritage of War

PS2 Preview | Growlanser: Heritage of War

Something got lost among all the big next-gen RPG fanfare from Square-Enix last week - an unexpected announcement from Atlus that a new PS2 Growlanser game is making its way stateside. Growlanser is one of Atlus's premiere series in Japan (alongside the venerable Shin Megami Tensei franchise), and while the now-defunct Working Designs handled the English translation and publishing duties for the second and third installments, Atlus themselves are going to be bringing Heritage of War over to our ...

WWE SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2008

PS2 Preview | WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008

Gradually, the WWE games review scores have, like a greasy tortoise, been slipping slowly downhill - due mainly to the fact that theyve started to feel the same, year in, year out. We want this decline to be arrested and SmackDown! 2008, the series PS3 debut - following the cancellation of last years planned next-gen wrestler - might do just that. Weve already reported on this years new features, although well clarify some of them in greater ...
