    Possibly the best Gundam game yet.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon

    Possibly the best Gundam game yet.

    While Federation vs Zeon may not be the newest or best looking Gundam game yet, it is incredibly fun. The core gameplay is easy to pick up and never loses the fun. It never gets boring the hack apart Zakus with a beam ... Read Full Review

    Robotech: Invasion

    Please Robotech fans, buy Battlecry instead!!!!

    Since New Gen. was my first exposure to Robotech, I was very excited when I heard there would a be a game where you'd get to use a Cyclone. Sure, there'd be no Alphas or Betas (boo-hoo), but it still sounded awesome. U... Read Full Review

    Robotech: Battlecry

    Yay! Macross! Funtime!

    Okay, first let me say that I have not played this since I sold my GC for a PS2 a year ago. But I have very vivid memories of it! It has to be the best Robotech game ever! Because Invasion sucked! The gameplay is v... Read Full Review

    Great flight combat game, but way too short.

    Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War

    Great flight combat game, but way too short.

    I havent played any of the Ace Combat series since Air Combat for the PS1, which I loved, so I was interested in the newest PS2 release. What I found was one of the best flight games I have ever played. The gameplay ... Read Full Review

    Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb

    Not the best licensed game ever, but a terrific renter.

    Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb was my first Indy game, and actually, I'm pleasantly surprised. The games mixes fun gameplay and a story worthy of the movies into a very good experience. The core gameplay is ver... Read Full Review

    Among the best squad shooters ever.

    SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs (Greatest Hits)

    Among the best squad shooters ever.

    I went into SOCOM 3 with no idea what to expect. What I found pleased me greatly: an immersive squad shooter with cool weapons, interesting plots, and great gameplay. The gameplay is very good, with solid controls, p... Read Full Review

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2

    SOCOM 3 this is not.

    After reading all the good reviews, I bought Ghost Recon 2 hoping for a similar squad based experience as SOCOM 3, which I enjoyed immensely. Suffice to say I was very dissapointed. The gameplay mechanics themselves ... Read Full Review

    Kaido Battle: Nikko, Haruna, Rokko, Hakone

    Really hard, but very entertaining for drifting/import tuner/Initial D obsessees.

    As a big fan of the TXR series, I was very excited when I found out that TXR: Drift was coming out. TXR's 3rd PS2 release does very well, too. The gameplay, though it may seem slow to some, is actually very true to l... Read Full Review

    OutRun2

    Arcade-style driving action at its best!

    Outrun 2 is easily the best driving game I own in terms of simple fun. While the game's 12 Ferraris handle no where near realistically, the physics are a blast to mess with, to see just how far you can twist reality. ... Read Full Review

    Best western themed game - bar none.

    Red Dead Revolver

    Best western themed game - bar none.

    Red Dead Revolver is one in a very lacking genre: westerns. Until now, there have been no games that made you feel like you were living Fistful of Dollars or Magnificent Seven. But Red Dead Revolver captures this feel ... Read Full Review

    A truly wonderful game from the best story arc of the series.

    Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Enjou! Kyoto Rinne

    A truly wonderful game from the best story arc of the series.

    In my opinoin, Rurouni Kenshin is quite possibly the perfect manga. It has a little of everyhting, as well as a great story. And Banpresto did an absolutely perfect job carrying that over into a game. Rurouni Kenshi... Read Full Review

    Samurai Western: Katsugeki Samurai-dou

    Strangely fun and addicting.

    Samurai Western is a fairly standard hack n' slash game. The graphics are not awful by any means, but nor are they at all impressive. The gameplay, while very simplistic and a bit too easy for its own good, is strangel... Read Full Review

    Shutokou Battle 01 (PlayStation 2 the Best)

    For the true, die-hard, obsessive import/automotive enthusiast.

    When I bought this, I didn't expect it to be quite as good as I found. The graphics surpass many times that of TXR: Zero, and the game allows the use of a Logitech wheel, which adds a lot to that gameplay. The game i... Read Full Review

    Packed with explodey goodness!

    At first, Black seems like your average FPS, but once you get 30 seconds into playing it, you'll see that it is far from. The gameplay has to have one of the coolest philosophies of any shooter I've seen since Mercena... Read Full Review

    Almost disturbingly short and pretty frustrating at first, but a lot of fun anyway.

    Auto Modellista is truly among the greatest ideas in video games. A cel-shaded racing game. Awesome. But beneath the graphics gloriously infused with the spirit of Initial D lurk a few very annoying issues. Before... Read Full Review

    Pretty repetitive, but the off-color British humor more than makes up for it.

    To put it as simply as I can, Armed and Dangerous is the spirit of Monty Python turned into a video game. Even though the mission get stale pretty quickly, the humor is just so over the top that this becomes a game you ... Read Full Review
