Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore	Tecmo	2000	Don't be mistaken; this incarnation of Dead or Alive 2 is not a port of the successful Dreamcast game, instead it's been completely redone for the PS2. The same great fighting gameplay that made the Dreamcast a classic is still there, but the engine has been tweaked to allow more balanced fights, new arenas, new costumes, and a new character. Fans of this title are just as loyal as fans of the Street Fighter series, as well as the Tekken series of games.***The world has become very chaotic and disoriented since the tragic murder of Fame Douglas, the sponsor of the legendary "Dead or Alive I World Combat Championship". We must now rely on you to ensure that the world returns back to a state of peace. With 12 characters to choose from, your mission is to win the championship and save the world from the Tengu Disaster that will take place at the century's end. Your ability to battle using various fighting techniques will determine your character's fate. Will you fight for life or fight to the death?

This formidable huntress works for the Brimstone Society--an underground organization that seeks out and destroys supernatural threats. Two missions, five years apart, turn out to be connected by one man: Jurgen Wulf.

Final Fantasy X-2	Square Enix	2003	Taking place two years after Yuna’s fateful journey to defeat Sin, the once chaotic world of Spira has gone through a massive transformation, entering a period of "Eternal Calm". The people of Spira now shun the teachings of Yevon and have opened their arms to former foes, the Al Bhed and the use of machina. It is a time of the "Machina Revolution" where people now believe that machina is useful and beneficial, as long as it is used properly. However, even with the peaceful life they now lived, there is emptiness in Yuna’s heart that is keeping her from moving on as the others have.* [100]* [12]* [32]Japanese version [32]**This 'game' is total crap. Seeing that this crap has THREE stars (see below) makes me cringe. Yes, the graphics ARE nice and yes the battle system is also quite nice, but FFX-2 is basically just eye-candy for all the drooling fanboys out there. It's not even an RPG really, it's more like a collection of retarded mini-games. I mean seriously, if I wanted to play a shooting mini-game with a cute heroine, I'd go play Tomb Raider. There's nothing cohesive about this game, so don't even THINK about trying to get the 'good ending' unless you have a strategy guide. For me, this game spelled the beginning of the end for Square. Whatever 'spark' that Square had for making good RPGs... they lost. Square... R.I.P. [cjlee001]

Outlaw Volleyball	Simon & Schuster Interactive;TDK (Hypnotix)	2004
Demolition Girl	D3 (HuneX;Tamsoft)	2004	Level 1 Use your trace beam to restrain the Daibijin. There are four areas you will need to concentrate on. Level 2 While attempting to drug the daibijin, you need to fire the anaesthetic shot into the correct part of the body as indicated on the radar in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. The current body part will be highlighted in red, and there will be a timer attached to it. Fire your anaesthetic gun into the current body part for as long until the timer runs out, and then move on to the next part. As you hit more, the yellow gauge will fill up until the Daibijin is high as a kite, and collapses to the floor as the level ends. Level 3 Having restrained the Daibijin, whilst transporting her by helicopter you are intercepted by a swarm of aliens! You need to destroy 50 of the little alien things. Use the lock-on to target several aliens at once, and then blast them out of the sky with a barrage of missiles, or just use your secondary gun. Level 4 Fly up close and destroy the alien brain controlling the Daibijin, and watch out when it spits a load of missiles. Level 5 Daibijin will be running alongside the Chuo highway, and you need to stop her before she reaches the end. I found this to be the easiest level in the game - simply strafe all the way to your left and follow her along. Continuously hit her with your machine gun (pause when it overheats), and use your cannon to clear the road of any cars as they come towards you. Every now and again she will stop and hurl a car or building at you. Blow this out the sky with your cannon and then continue as before. You should have no problems completing the level before she even reaches half-way. Level 6 The Daibijin is climbing up the side of the TMGO office building, one of the most famous buildings in downtown Tokyo. You need to destroy the mother alien sitting on the top of the building before she reaches the top. After a few wave of attacks, it should stop for a bit and its arms will flop.　 This is your opportunity to stop the daibijin reaching the top of the building, so fly down to where she's climbing up and use your weapon to shrink her and slow her progress. You should be able to get a shot in, wait for　your special weapon to recharge, and then get another shot in before the alien wakes up. Then quickly fly back away from the alien and watch out for his next wave of attacks. Lock on and attack again, and repeat the shrinking. After three　waves, daibijin will be so small as to not be a problem, and then you'll need to worry about the brain itself.

Haunting Ground	Capcom (Capcom Entertainment)	2005	Product code: [code]SLES-52877[/code] (PAL) EAN-13: [code]5055060922941[/code]*Spiritual successor to the [url=/groups/info/clocktower-series]Clock Tower[/url] series.*Haunting Ground is set in a mysterious castle that has become a prison for two innocent characters- an orphaned young girl and a white shepherd dog.

Outlaw Volleyball Remixed	Global Star Software;TDK Mediactive (Hypnotix)	2005
Zombie Hunters	D3 Publisher;505 Game Street (Tamsoft)	2005	"Zombie Hunters" is the same version of the "Zombie Zone" with some extras like being able to handle Aya's sister, Saki, or Riho and Makoto Futaba as well as a few extra costumes for each character.***The only challenge this game offers are when you enter berserker rage and start losing your health constantly. This either means you have to use an item that comes in limited supply to dispel it or find a statue that cures the state. Otherwise this is plain and simple hack&slash with nothing to interest you (unless watching a girl hack zombies for hours is entertaining to you), and there doesn't seem to be much story either to invigorate any interest. Berserk mode is entered when the rage meter maxes out, this is tied to how bloody your character gets. Although you can clean your sword whenever you want, this has little effect on how bloody you yourself are. Extremely bloody sword has a habit of getting stuck in enemies and cleaning it only serves to avoid this. There are only few ways to counter berserk mode, avoiding getting blood on you (avoid fights that aren't necessary, though there aren't many), clean yourself as often as possible (happens automatically near certain statues), and using certain one-shot items that clear your rage meter. Neither the statues nor the items are very abundant, so this is actually the most pressing problem you have in the game. Enemies also occasionally drop red orbs that boost the rage meter significantly. You can completely avoid berserk mode by kicking everyone to death, but this is extremely slow compared to slashing them up with your sword.

Zombie Hunters 2	D3 Publisher;Essential Games (Tamsoft)	2005	[b]staining[/b] - the character and the sword gets covered in blood*Pretty much the same as the previous game, even the (early) levels don't seem much different. So, if you have Zombie Hunters, this won't do much for you, although the almost constant berserking in the earlier game was aggravating (doesn't happen anywhere as much in this).*Product ID: [code]SLES-54569[/code]
