It’s a game about total carnage, total destruction, and total fun, whilst paying homage to cult TV shows of the 70’s and 80’s with its tongue placed firmly in its cheek.
The player takes the role of one of a rag tag team of TV obsessed demolition experts hired to take on dangerous and dirty jobs, whilst combating the evil genius Arnie (once a lovable child star) and his army of homemade attack bots.
There are 8 characters to choose from, 4 at the start and 4 more hidden throughout the game. Each one has their own special skills, strengths and weaknesses to help them in their task of destroying everything in their wake.
The multi-tiered and involving game areas range from Scrap yards, Oilrigs, and even a bustling cityscape. The characters are free to destroy everything in the level but have to complete certain mission-based tasks within a time limit in order to unlock hidden areas, special characters, and the next location waiting to be ripped apart.
Each character has all the basic demolition skills that they need to get on with the job, but when they come across something that needs a little extra to get it out of the way they can call upon their individual special weapon to help them overcome the problem.
Each job that is completed successfully will earn the team cash to continue their cause and hire new members.
Along the way they will accumulate bonuses, power-up, weapons, and bits of scrap to customize their vehicles.
Wreck’n Krew is a fast and furious gaming experience packed with cheesy comedy and insane explosive action.

Official Fact Sheet:
Ungenberg is now masterminding a Russo-Mongolian Empire and is determined to sweep across the globe, crushing all in his path ? while intelligence reports indicate he is also close to completing an atomic device. A coalition is hastily formed and, as Lieutenant James Anderson, the player is charged with infiltrating a series of Ungenberg’s strongholds in a danger-filled attempt to undermine his efforts.
World War Zero is first-person-based gameplay thus offers the best possible view of its stealth and combat-based action. Using a mixture of covert and combat skills, the player must go behind enemy lines and pass through the devastated Germany where Ungenberg and his powerbase is located. As such, missions take the player from the Western Front, through the Anton Denikin Russo-Mongol front, into the occupied Wolfenburg and ultimately into the Berlin-based fission centre where the Baron’s experiments are nearing their conclusion.
Standing between Anderson and his targets, however, are World War Zero’s incredibly detailed array of enemy soldiers and agents. The Baron’s agents, Kazakh Troops and Siberian Forces all benefit from differing AI and abilities, while the threat of gun turrets, mines, gas attacks and trench battles truly conveys the horrors of a first World War battleground. Thankfully, Anderson is equipped with his trusty silenced Heckler and Koch MP-6, while additional and authentically-modelled weapons such as a Remington M910 shotgun, fragmentation and smoke grenades, plus sniper rifles can be collected along the way.
With its incredibly realistic environments, stunning enemy AI and gripping plot, World War Zero: Ironstorm is one of the most remarkable first-person titles to grace Sony’s PlayStation 2. The brutality of war is perfectly detailed, while the horrors of a timeline where The Great War has stretched into its fiftieth year create an atmospheric title that sets new standards within the action genre.

In Without Warning, a radical terrorist group has targeted and seized the Peterson-Daniels Chemical Facility, a vulnerable location that jeopardizes millions of people from the devastating ecological hazard it imposes if destroyed. Pleas are useless and any direct military assault would be too great a risk. As terrified hostages fear for their lives, their only hope lies with a covert operations team, whose goal is to infiltrate the plant and eliminate the merciless enemy.
The harrowing events unfold over a 12 hour period, featuring a unique gameplay dynamic which enables the six central characters to experience events across the same timeline but from their own distinct viewpoints. The player controls each character individually, with the focus automatically shifting to a new character at key moments which are unfolded through cut scenes. By switching between the characters, their individual tales are woven together to create an overall picture of the events that happened during the crisis. The player will also retrospectively view events through the eyes of another character and is therefore not only a participant in the events, but a spectator as well. Furthermore, actions performed as one character affect the progress of others and players must successfully utilize the strengths of each in order to advance.
Play as six different characters and experience the game from each of their perspectives:
Three members of the covert operations team :
Kyle Rivers ? the leader of the squad with an experienced combat background
Jack Hooper ? the youngest and most inexperienced member of the team for whom this is the first combat mission
Ed Reagan ? the squad?s bomb disposal specialist who is also formidable in close combat situations
Three civilians with distinct agendas and views on the events:
Tanya Shaw ? a terrified secretary whose only desire is to escape safely

No one knew where they came from, but the aliens’ mission had been clear, Earth must be conquered! In humanity’s darkest hour, the world’s greatest minds inspired the masses with hope. With the Earth’s nations acting as one, they launched an inescapable energy wave that crippled the flying saucers where they hovered. Everyone felt victory was near.
But even as the cheering millions crowded the streets, the triumph turned to catastrophe. The glowing fuel from the wrecked alien spacecraft spilled into streams, gutters and oceans contaminating the air with toxic vapours. The toxins scoured the Earth like a plague and triggered small almost unseen mutations. Unfortunately, the Earth would soon take notice.
Before the week was out, they appeared – gigantic mutant monsters. Towering animals lumbered down the city streets, crushing everything in their path. The Earth’s very own defences – immense robots – took on lives of their own and became as great a threat as the invaders they were created to battle. The elements, tainted by the alien toxin, merged with micro-organisms, rose from the earth and roamed the land like the prehistoric titans of old.
Once in a constant battle with Earth’s forces, they have now turned against themselves. These behemoths are now locked in an eternal struggle. The War of the Monsters has begun…

Official Fact Sheet:
Playing one of two fearless vampire hunters ? hot-headed Michel or cool, calm Albert ? you blast your way through waves of vampires with your Mediaeval weaponry, saving tormented villagers, wiping out the evil hordes and undertaking special missions as you go, whilst attempting to protect a helpless girl who’s been trapped in the madness. Basically, it’s House of the Dead meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
There are two ways to play: Arcade mode is an improved version of the coin-op, with seven huge and increasingly frenetic stages, each culminating in a pitched battle with a boss who’s both unpleasant and un-dead. In each stage you have to save a villager; every one you save will ensure you’re rewarded with better weapons and tools that will help you in your fight.
The Special mode, unique to the PS2 version, adds slightly more of an RPG element, as well as being much more of a challenge. As you progress, various village characters appear to ask favours that take the form of additional missions. You’ll find yourself following tips, sent off on hunts for particular items, or asked to defeat certain enemies. Complete the missions successfully and you’re rewarded with improvements to your weapons or given other tools and accessories to help your progress; you may be paid in silver, with which you can visit Gaston the shopkeeper and buy yet more hard-hitting Mediaeval ordnance. You’ll even gain magical powers.
The game is packed with vast numbers of evil enemies, all of whom attack in different ways ? from simple Hemavoras (ex-villagers who’ve been infected by the vampires and who attack on sight), through iron-clawed Migremors (who dig rapidly underground to reappear in front of you), to sword-wielding and lightning-quick Velociphers, and the winged Griffaers who attack from the skies. As if this were not enough, the nightmarish bosses will hit you with every foul weapon imaginable, from powerful lasers to swarms of servant bats controlled by the King of Darkness himself.
To help prepare you for the trials ahead, there’s a complete training system with 17 different courses, covering everything from basic sighting and rapid firing exercises, up to situations to improve your concentration when moving among the hordes. You can even practice against the various bosses, to give yourself slightly more hope when you eventually come up against the real thing.
With full two-player mode and an improved one-player game, Vampire Night is fast-moving and with a tremendous atmosphere of brooding menace. It’s instantly playable, but will take time to master: the fact that you have to think amidst the carnage means you can’t just blow away everything on-screen, so only the very best shots ? and very coolest heads ? will make it through.
As you’d expect from any game produced by the two best arcade game developers in the business, Namco and Sega between them have ensured that this is more than a straight conversion, taking all the elements from the arcade hit and improving the graphics, sound, gameplay and longevity to produce another classic that’s better than the coin-op in every way.
It even comes complete with its own plot shock, revealed as you progress: the two fearless vampire slayers are themselves vampires. Get out of that one ? if you can.
Hundreds of years before Lenneth?s tale, another saga lies concealed by the gods. The valkyrie Silmeria once served Odin loyally, but after an incident ignited a conflict between them, Odin forcefully reincarnated her as a human. The human soul that would carry her spirit was that of Alicia, Princess of Dipan. Ordinarily, Silmeria?s consciousness would have been sealed, her spirit dormant until she was next summoned? However, the forced transmigration causes Silmeria?s spirit to awaken within Alicia, leaving two souls to inhabit a single body. The spirit that should have been sealed has awakened?a situation Odin will not ignore for long.
This instalment introduces the new Photon Action System to the classic side-scrolling action format found in the original. Projecting photons grants players more freedom to explore and expands the action, resulting in challenging puzzles with clever solutions. Add to that ?sealstones? that affect the laws of nature in dungeons, launching strategy to new heights.
The unique, highly acclaimed battle system of the previous game has evolved into the Advanced Tactical Combination Battle System. Feel the exhilaration of accelerated battles raging across 3D environments for more spectacular and more strategic combat than ever before!
