In the past couple of years, its seemed as though the online role playing game is the sure fire way to make some cash, this is unsurprising, considering the following these things receive, and the opportunity to have potential players buying a subscription to play your title. A lot of these are released purely for […]

bitparade: NAMCO Museum: 50th Anniversary Collection (PlayStation 2)
Ten years ago, MAME was in its infancy, “retro” gaming wasn’t that big a deal, and Namco released its first ever arcade compilation. Back then, the idea seemed a great one for the small community of retro gamers that were around, the chance to play all their Namco arcade favourites on one home system was […]
bitparade: Magna Carta: Tears of Blood (PlayStation 2)
With the Final Fantasy series taking a little bit of a break, well we’re not going to see FFXII on these shores till at least the end of the year, other companies have decided to try and grab the RPG torch to highlight games that would otherwise get ignored for Square Enix’s popular series. In […]
bitparade: Madden 07 (PlayStation 2)
I’m not a follower of the NFL, I don’t really know anyone who is. I’ve never really understood the sport, to me its always been a bit of a “Rugby with padding” that so many British people stereotype it as. However, after playing Madden 07, my opinion has changed, I’m still not a fan but […]
bitparade: Gitaroo Man (PlayStation 2)
Aside from the Dancing Stage series, Rhythm games are a bit of a niche market, although, generally they do make fun games that anyone can just simply pick up and play.

Canis Canem Edit, or Bully as the general public know it, has already stifled up alot of controversy because of that particular former title, that Rockstar have decided to still use in the ol’ US of A. It’s actually becoming a case of wondering if Rockstar are actually paying these people to name drop each […]
bitparade: Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War (PlayStation 2)
Ever since the mid-90’s and the original PlayStation, console owners wanting a fix of aerial combat have turned to the Ace Combat series, simply because theres been nothing good enough to knock it off its throne. It’s helped, of course, that with each installment, the series has gone from strength to strength. Sure it’s not […]
20 for 20: Dreamcast
This week the Dreamcast turned 20 in Japan, it wasn’t released here in the UK for almost another year and I wouldn’t get one for myself until a further year later, by which time SEGA had all but abandoned the console, but the little white system with the blue swirl (European region) left a massive […]
