Here we have all the games in the email070526 Section.
PS2
Action
Set in the warring period in Japan’s history, this title involves plenty of action in the battlefield with a bit of tactical nous needed every now and then to help your quest. Take on rival clans in fully pitched battles to become the ultimate Daimyo, but be warned desire can never be quenched; so choose your battles carefully so as not to stretch your resources too thinly on the ground. Known as Samurai Warriors in the West.
Wonderswan
Simulation
Developed from an anime series, Shaman King sees you being able to charge up a spirit meter through pressing the correct button when urged to do so by your spirit persona. When the meter is full the persona can be summoned to unleash a frenzied assault on your unexpecting opponent in true over the top anime style. Exquisite presentation as you’d expect from Bandai.
PS2
Action
Sega delivers an arcade experience with all the thrills and gut spills an adrenalin soaked ninja with a very sharp katana can deliver. Super fast, Shinobi zips around on screen slicing through opponents with special gratification to be gained from the combo’s. But it takes all the zen patience of a Buddhist monk to beat this baby.
Nintendo 64
Action
Based loosely on the Shadows of the Empire book the devlopers have used a fair slice of artistic license and why not when it means you can add in bad boy bounty hunter Boba Fett who didn’t appear in the book? The first few levels are actually based on the Empire Strikes Back including a delightful rendition of taking down an AT-AT using the winch. Taking on TIE fighters is also a real treat for Star Wars fans with excellent variety throughout the game.
Nintendo Hardware
Multitap
Bomberman themed multitap for the Super Famicom that takes inspirational from one of the finest multiplayer titles and has simple colour coded slots to help players remember who they are when burning the midnight oil on gaming sessions.
Playstation
Action
Giant mechs battling with all the panache shown in the anime series. Carefully select your team depending on the task ahead to dominate earth and space. Also known as Super Robot Wars.
GameBoy Advance
RPG
The epic opus does itself more than justice of the GBA with a high level of detail poured into this labour of love. The RPG action translates well to the dimensions of the smaller screen and the sprite based world will pull a heart string with gamers long enough in the tooth to remember the 16Bit era.
Playstation
Simulation
Strikes a fine balance between the night time excitement of being out on the town and the thrill of the dice being thrown on the table. Well presented and good fun.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Many believe this should have been released with the Saturn instead of the original version. Yet the pressure of hardware release deadlines meant that the somewhat rushed VF came out first and this superior VF Remix a few months later.
Playstation
RPG
The City of Gold style anime introduction certainly gets Genki all misty-eyed and ready for this RPG quest with smaller scale sprites allowing players to breeze through its locales on their epic quest. Subtitled Souheiden.
Gamecube
Sports
Genki feared the worse when the news leaked of a GC debut sequel of the delightful Wave Race. Nintendo well and truly delivered the goods keeping the originals relentless, arm pit tingling gameplay and improving the water transparencies beyond anything seen before. Truly miraculous effects that remain cutting edge even today.
Playstation
Sports
An unusual game in that it puts players in a canoe heading downstream rapidly, especially when you hit the rapids.
XBOX
Sports
The beauty of Konami’s soccer sensation is that there aren’t any flaws in the AI allowing the same goal to be scored each time making each time you hit the onion bag special. Total football reaches the Xbox.
