As a premise, Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing is pretty awesome. As the title alludes, there is a last-man-standing approach to this airborne battle game that mixes elements of strategy and action together in frantic, often exciting ways. While most of what is here is fairly well executed on,...

Dozens of first person shooters have been produced since the 1990s, when the genre first appeared. Most of them follow standard rules that make them enjoyable even when they are of average quality. World War Zero is one of those average games that offer a few hours of mild amusement and then they...

Probably the best compliment I can pay to The Wizards - Enhanced Edition, is that it feels like a fully fleshed out game, and not just a quick VR experiment like so many other action games on the platform are. The Wizards has some lofty goals in its design, and while it does not hit all of them -...

Medieval history and hack and slash games are among my favorite things, so I was glad to discover Knights of the Temple on PS2. The story is about Paul, an idealistic new member of the famous Knights of the Temple, a powerful group of warriors established during the Crusades. Paul finds out his...

In the old days, video games based on movies often were hastily made and disappointed fans. "Constantine", on the other hand, is a rare specimen that, in my opinion, is better than its source material.

The story of LOTR the Third Age takes place in parallel with the trilogy; the hero is a knight who...

Dick Wilde 2 has a target audience (pun intended) with its wave / rail shooter design that works really well with the PlayStation VR headset. It checks all of the boxes of 'improvement' that you would want from a sequel, without really doing anything revolutionary along the way. The original...

Batman Rise of Sin Tzu is a beat'em up game, like the ancient Double Dragon (1987) or Final Fight (1989). However, this time the hero is not some generic muscular dude who tries to save his girlfriend from thugs; it is the Caped Crusader himself. The story involves a master martial artist and...

Cover image taken from http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3412 There are few strategy titles on PS2 and I was lucky to discover Future Tactics. The game combines colorful graphics with turn based combat and a simple command system. Its production values are nothing special but it...

Killzone is one of many first person shooters that were produced for PS2 and was successful enough to spawn several sequels on different consoles. Although the game follows a standard formula it stands out thanks to its quality. First of all, the graphics may not be on par with those of "Black"...
