Gungrave: Overdose - PS2

Where else can you play as a rockin dude with a killing guitar?

When a game doesnt get any advertising, it doesnt do very well. Not so here. Gungrave has a smattering of dedicated fans, and this game should surely quench their thirst for undead zombie mafioso killing action. In a game like this, the developers forego cinematography and detailed plots for what else, fast and furious gunplay. In what other games does the beginning of each level proclaim, "KICK THEIR ASS"? The effects of the weapons and the level of destructibility is impressive, and there is a host of unlockables. With three characters each with individual characteristics, it more than makes up for Gungrave O.D's biggest fault... Its too short. The levels, if your good take ten minutes tops to breeze through. But no matter. Blowing the snot out of things never gets old

Ape Escape 2 - PS2

Go Bananas

Anything with monkeys is an instant win in my book, and this game has enough spunk and fun to keep it in my active library. While the graphics are too bubble gummy and the music is repetitive like nothing else, it is just fun. The entire concept is novel in itself, and it really can get addictive, catching them all.(Pokemon with bananas, anyone?)

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando - PS2

Sequels are always better

This is just a fun game. Plain and simple. There are more weapons (HAPPY DAYS!) the levels are bigger, there's more gadgets, and most of all, your quick-select menu actually pauses the game! Oh my! I wonder how the developers thought of that? Now you can actually change weapons without getting decimated. Tender.

Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home - PS2

You all must be rednecks

Anyone who calls this game a wrestling game needs to be tarred and feathered. Wrestling is entertainment, but this is simply a mockery of something good. While the interactive environments are interesting, and the sheer amount of weapons is impressive, the rest of the game soundly falls flat on it's ridiculously stupid ass. What a dumb concept in the first place? If you are in need of a IQ destroyer, by all means, pick this trivial hunk of crap up, but if you want a REAL wrestling game( can you really use real though in regards to wrestling) pick up SMACKDOWN vs. RAW this election day.

WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain - PS2

Soap opera antics never and greasy men were never this much fun!

As the current game in the wwe series for ps2, i was overjoyed to find all sorts of improvements over the last game, WWE SMACKDOWN, SHUT YOUR MOUTH. The graphics have had an overhaul, and the controls are a giant improvement from it's flawed predecessors. While all these things help the game, i can't help but notice some annoying things as well. What happened to the ring announcer? And when is THQ going to put in a create-a-move? I would say that Tony Hawk's "create a trick" has been successful, so it wouldn't be that hard to pull off. And when will there be camera angles/pyro for your entrance? Wrestlemania X1X did this very well, and so has the new DAY OF RECKONING. Other than these gripes, this game is very enjoyable to both fans of the sport and newcomers. But, until I see SHANNON MOORE and JOHNNY STAMBOLI in a wrestling game, they will NEVER! get a 5.0
