Merchandise
A beautiful game such as Odin Sphere is a work of art and this hardback book shows off the lavish extent to which the in game artists have gone. Truly gorgeous.
Playstation
A Bit Special
A real cult following behind this game and also ‘Moon’ due to the developer’s blank canvas approach to realising their real work of passion. In UFO players must take photos in order to identify aliens missing from a crash. Basically suspicious events occur which are a good indicator of some alien involvement. These photos can be then used to locate the MIA aliens. Requires careful thought and observation and reveals that all games don’t have to be the same.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Giants of the PC Engine scene try their hand at 32 bit with this evolution based RPG simulation. As such one for the Engine fan boys and gals.
PS2
Action
Frantic battles and laser strafe disturbs the still of space. And that’s before the shouts of distress of the Gundam avatars is taken into account. Fast paced shooting action for those who like their space confrontations on the epic scale.
PS2
Action
Mysterious MMORPG except that it isn’t online but just created to feel like it is with masses of players and emailed updates. And the sci fi feel is very cleverly done. The Hack story is based on Hackers into the main computer and the game features plenty of conspiracy and double – crossing that have seen the series snowball into an underground gaming phenomena.
Wii
Platform
A most timely return to form from the dungareed dude – plump plumber platform gaming hasnt been this much fun since Mario 64. Oozing absolute triple A Nintendo class from the very outset, Galaxy bedazzles like a shooting star with graphical wonders and a real orchestral score. The freedom from the laws of physics has really seen Miyamoto san et al let loose and every star required is a pleasurable adventure along with a lesson in games design. The controller fits snugly, even the simultaneous 2P mode is a barrel of laughs. First class honours.
PS4
RPG
An expansion pack for FF XIV introducing more roles in terms of jobs and the rumoured ability to fly. Its a shame they cant be included in the original release with so many updates and expansion packs around, but perhaps Genki is getting a bit too entrenched in the old school?
Nintendo 64
RPG
The Doraemon world is perfectly suited to the N64s rotund graphical style and the Mario 64-esque world is true to the anime series with plenty of scrapes to get into.
Mega Drive
Sports
Based on the sport of dodge ball where you must hit your opponents team with a ball, Denbei features some pretty animated sequences, over the top specials with far too many speed lines and an RPG-ish story mode in which you travel round the local town to keep the action interesting and varied. Nicely collectable on the Mega Drive too.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Tate, meaning vertical, scrolling shoot em up from Capcom’s classic stable of WWII plane blasters. Good, solid arcade mechanics and plenty to keep the guns ratatating in both smaller planes and the big, bad boss versions.
Dreamcast
RPG
Subtitled ‘The World of the Sacred Device.’ Evolution was the second RPG to appear on the system which makes its stunning polygon presentation and enchanting spell effects all the more outstanding.
