Car Porn At Its Finest, On-The-Go (PSP)
Incidentally, Long Time Coming is my favourite Zutons song... As most of you will no doubt be aware, Gran Turismo for the PSP has been a long time coming. I remember back when the PSP launched, and Sony were touting a portable version of Polyphony Digital's driving simulator as a potential launch title. ...

A revolutionary shooter hampered by an unstable frame rate ()
I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to get around to playing the Half-Life series. I've been aware of its reputation for quite a few years now, and towards the end of last year I managed to pick up the first two games on PS2 and Xbox. Despite ...

The definition of the word "classic" (PS1)
I’ve been playing RPGs for eight years now. Ever since I found a copy of ‘Final Fantasy VII’ in the bargain bin at my local GAME, I’ve been hooked to the series, and I own every instalment of the central series released in the UK to date. As a result ...

As its name would suggest, Final Fantasy IX is the ninth instalment in the long-running RPG series from Squaresoft (now Square Enix) and the third game in the franchise to find its way onto Sony's PlayStation console.

Most new releases will tend to fall into one of these two categories. Games like Grand Theft Auto and God Of War offer mutilation ...

Change is good. Here's why... (PS2)
When the PS2 launched way, way back at the turn of the century, there were certain titles that we all expected to grace the console’s launch ceremony. Gran Turismo 3, Wipeout Fusion and Metal Gear Solid 2 all made it onto the market within a year of Sony’s sophomore console’s ...

A fantastic side-story packaged as a generic game (PS2)
It’s widely accepted that the PlayStation’s Final Fantasy VII is the best game in Square Enix’s long-running RPG series. With its memorable characters, labyrinthine plot and superb RPG gameplay, it’s a game that many fans wish would be remade for current generation consoles. While there’s no guarantee that such a ...

A racing sim that's accessible for anyone? Surely not... (PS2)
For years, Gran Turismo has been the seminal racing simulation; the game that all racing sims try to be like, and the game that they are all subsequently judged against. The simple formula of buy car, race car, win money, buy better car has been done to death since the ...
