SEGA AGES PANZER DRAGOON (NEW)
The Saturn had a plethora of original Sega titles such as the epoch defining Panzer Dragoon. This PS2 version includes the original Saturn game along with an updated hi-res version along with some bonus extras of artwork and cut sequences in the Pandoras Box - which as the name suggests requires opening. The stirring orchestral score sounds splendid on the PS2 and gameplay is just a refreshing as the Dragoon swoops through beautifully textured valleys, skirting the ravine edge. Whilst gameplay is on the rails the 360 degree firing range makes it feel unrestricted as you fly against hordes of critters to drop them from the sky. The controls remain faithful with the ability to scan around checking for sneaky assailants. Jaw dropping visuals and a story whose threads gently wrap around you before you realise you are cocooned in it. Saturn veterans will lap this up and hopefully the uninitiated will see whats got everyone in a flap.
A fine review of Sega's inspired flight of fancy...

An unusual title where players rotate around the screen like the hands of a clock, attaching themselves to axis in which to get to the next area of the screen and eventually the goal. Good fun and no doubt good for the cerebral cortex.

CowboyRobot writes "David Chisnall of the University of Cambridge describes how interfacing between languages is increasingly important. You can no longer expect a nontrivial application to be written in a single language. High-level languages typically call code written in lower-level languages as part of their standard libraries (for example, GUI rendering), but adding calls can be difficult. In particular, interfaces between two languages that are not C are often difficult to construct. Even relatively simple examples, such as bridging between C++ and Java, are not typically handled automatically and require a C interface. The problem of interfacing between languages is going to become increasingly important to compiler writers over the coming years."
NEW ARRIVAL!
Kawazu san once again proves he's his own man curtailing his vision for no one in making this unique RPG with striking hand painted backgrounds. Astonishing opening scene and snow effects.

NEW ARRIVAL!
Beautiful fantasy RPG with some serious combat illuminated by flare attacks and superfluous pyrotechnics. Incredibly stylish with a solid combat engine underlining its fine heritage coming from the Sega stable. The battles are very much action orientated and make for a much more enjoyable hands on experience.

NEW ARRIVAL!
A very well loved title in Japan and its easy to see why as Takara captures the solidity and colourfulness of the Choro Q cars. Good handling and an impressive draw distance. It's the overall feel of the game which ensures it succeeds amongst more serious, high brow competition. Known as Road Trip across the Pond and Road Trip Adventure in Europe.

NEW ARRIVAL!
Not your average dodgeball or kingy title as players travel not only the world, but also through time to sample the dodgeballing skills of Socrates, Bach and Nobunaga. Plenty of over the top specials to dazzle opponents with and frustrate them by not revealing how they are unleashed. Subtitled World Champion Dodge Baller.

NEW ARRIVAL!
The violence is very over the top and with the adversaries already being the undead, it doesn't cause too much offence. Genki cant help but wonder if they are on the whole reduced to their drooling state by the outfits of cowgirl the main character models. Some almighty combos to savour to sweep away a whole horde of zombies.

NEW ARRIVAL!
A fine sequel building on Middle East mystique as players get to savour a cultured blend between RPG sequences and platform sections. The jump and slash sections are very slickly implemented and not a mere add on. And the unique setting of the RPG comes across in the music and the graphical appearance of players and NPC's. Released as Exile Wicked Phenomenon.
