PS2 - SingStar Boybands vs Girlbands - SingStar Boybands vs Girlbands

We’re not sure what this admission says about the quality of our musical tastes, but we reckon Boybands vs Girlbands is one of the best SingStar compilations to hit PS2 for quite a while. Part of the reason is down to Sony’s trawling of the back catalogues of those original boy and girl bands you might have forgotten (or are just too young to have ever known). ...

PS2 - Monopoly (2008) - Monopoly

EA claimed recently that videogames could never replace board games, and they’ve successfully proven this point by releasing Monopoly: so inferior to its cardboardy cousin it could well be a practical joke. The game consists largely of pressing a single button, once every five minutes, and then making a cup of tea while you wait for your turn. ...

PS2 - The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon - The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

Ever since Spyro the Dragon first glided onto the PlayStation 10 years ago, he’s been struggling to find solid footing in the platform gaming world. His games have been criticized in the past for being overly complicated for younger gamers yet too childish for older ones. Unfortunately, Dawn Of The Dragon is pretty much more of the same. ...

PS2 - SpongeBob SquarePants Featuring Nicktoons - Globs of Doom - SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom

This is a tear-inducingly monotonous platform/beat-’em-up hybrid based around the premise that an evil troupe of globules named the Morphoids has infested the NickTooniverse. This creates the opportunity for the NickToons (heroes and villains) to band together to clear their lands of the Calpol-esque menaces. ...

PS2 - Tak and the Guardians of Gross - Tak and the Guardians of Gross

Shadow of the Colossus is the unlikely inspiration for this, the fourth game starring generically tribal platforming star Tak. This time, the loinclothed bonehead has accidentally released four giant ‘Grosstrosities’ upon the world, and it’s up to him to bring these lumbering maniacs to heel. ...

PS2 - WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2009 - WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2009

Unless you’re intending to take SmackDown online, or get a bit hot and bothered at the prospect of unlocking achievements, you can buy the PS2 version with the confidence that you’re not missing out on anything. The drop in graphical fidelity is the only compromise – but even then it’s not as noticeable as it perhaps should be – the animation is quick and fluid throughout and clipping is kept to a minimum. ...

PS2 - Pipe Mania - Pipe Mania

If you’re proper old, you’ll know that Pipe Mania was a game first released in the late Eighties on the Amiga, and if you’re reading this review with the intention of buying it because of that – good work! You’ll be well catered to. ...

PS2 - Dokapon Kingdom - Dokapon Kingdom

When we first looked at Dokapon Kingdom, we were impressed with its innovative multiplayer RPG concept. Being an RPG player can admittedly get lonely, so anything that brings role-playing fans together for a competitive adventure has to be a step in the right direction, right? Although we desperately wanted to root for this game, it unfortunately fails to live up to its potential in almost every aspect. ...

PS2 - FIFA 09 - FIFA 09

The aging PS2 might be close to receiving its bus pass, but we’ll tell you this much: we hope we’re this much fun when we’re collecting our pension. FIFA 09 on PS2 might look as rough as Desperate Dan’s chinny-beard, but this old boy has got more fancy moves than your grandma after she’s had her early morning pep pills. ...

PS2 - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor  - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

There are a few different fighting moves in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, but we’d be lying if we said we had any clue what they were. All we know is that one button means punch. Punch punch punch. Samurai warriors in your way? Punch. A bigger version of the samurai warrior, except this time with a hammer? Punch him. ...
