At the beginning the game does show some promise, mainly because unlike most other licensed titles, Barnyard doesn’t follow the plot of the movie. After the introductory cinematic where characters of the movie watch as a new cow is delivered to the farm, players take control of this cow. The first thing you’re allowed to […]

#ThrowBackThusday Gregory Horror Show
We can’t do a #ThrowBackThursday in October without playing something horror-themed and searching through my collection at the beginning of the month I had a wealth of options including popular classics such as Silent Hill or Resident Evil 4. However, I ultimately decided upon a game that has maybe been forgotten about in recent years, […]
bitparade: Codename K.N.D.: Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E. (PlayStation 2)
We see these sort of titles all the time. Licensed games of popular kids programs and personally I’d heard of Spongebob Squarepants and Fairly Odd Parents, but I get the feeling they may be a bit outdated now, as I’ve never heard of this Cartoon Network license despite having 2 brother-in-laws of the age to […]
bitparade: Disney Pixar’s Cars (PlayStation 2)
Disney Pixar’s Cars, game of the movie, is an incredibly difficult game to write about. Unlike most movie tie-ins, Cars isn’t actually a standard collect-em up platform. That would be a bit difficult to achieve considering the characters, nor is it a racing game, which is partially surprising, but at the same time not, as […]

Since it’s release Disgaea: Hour of Darkness has been a huge hit for the PlayStation 2, promoting Nippon Ichi Software to a much loved status within the gaming community and introducing an awful lot of gamers to the world of the Strategy Role Playing Game. A genre that’s a healthy blend of your Final Fanatsy-esque […]
bitparade: SEGA Superstar Tennis (PlayStation 2)
Take two parts Virtua Tennis, one part Mario Tennis, and mix in a whole ton of SEGA nostalgia and you have yourself SEGA Superstars Tennis. Sound good? Well, it is, if you happen to be a big fan of what SEGA have done in the past. Y’see while Nintendo present you with characters from their […]
bitparade: We Love Katamari (PlayStation 2)
Katamari Damacy was one of the most original and bizarre games released in recent years, it depicted you as the Prince of all Cosmos and gave you the task of rolling a Katamari, a sticky ball type invention that collects everything that you roll over, around various levels in order to put the stars back […]
bitparade: Fast and the Furious (PlayStation 2)
In the past four years, games stores shelves have been saturated with identikit games, namely football, first-person shooters, sandbox crime titles (aka “GTA Clones”) and “street” racers of the Need for Speed variety, and here, for review, is yet another. The Fast and the Furious is an identikit street racer, it has plenty of cars […]

bitparade: Taito Legends 2
Retro Compilations are the in thing at the moment, it seems your not a legendary developer/publisher if you haven’t got a bunch of games to shove onto a disc and release on one of the modern consoles. But, as both Namco and SEGA have shown, if not done with due care and love, you end […]
