Gregory Horror Show puts players into a role as themselves, as they have lost their way and wander into a hotel called Gregory House, but soon find that leaving is not quite as simple as entering. Gregory House is no ordinary hotel, but a weird alternate, fourth dimension, reminiscent of a dreamlike state. While searching for an exit, players encounter Death who promises to return the player to their own dimension if they collect all the wandering souls locked in the hotel.
The other guests are not eager to hand over their spirits so players will have to exploit their weaknesses if they are to gain enough souls to escape. In order to find out these weak points players will need to search for clues, solve puzzles and even spy on the behaviour of other guests by peeping through their keyholes. Time plays a crucial role in Gregory Horror Show with all the guests keeping to strict schedules ? when they watch television, when they eat and when they sleep. Players must note the behaviour of fellow guests if they are to calculate the optimum time to try and take their souls.
Players must beware; for once they?ve stolen a soul, the furious guest will give chase and hunt them down. In order to escape, they will have to quickly run and hide before the guest unleashes their special attack that will drain ?mentality points,? a measure of the characters level of sanity. Once the mentality points are gone, the character will end up just as crazy and trapped as the rest of the inhabitants.
Variety of unique characters ? Character design by Naomi Iwatani, who won second place for the animated television series in the Vancouver Effects and Animation Festival (VEAF).

A highly accessible addition to the GT franchise set to broaden the appeal of the series, GT Concept is aimed at those who may find the investment of time and skill necessary to get the best out of the full Gran Turismo experience slightly daunting. It therefore abandons Gran Turismo Mode in favour of an instant-fix, arcade approach, which ensures that even the most inexperienced gamer can jump straight behind the wheel and accelerate away.
This doesn’t mean that corners have been cut. If anything, many of the features of Gran Turismo 3 have been improved upon, with minor gameplay and graphical tweaks – until you’ve seen a car in Gran Turismo, you won’t believe how good they can look in a game. And the whole game has been put together with the perfectionism and attention to detail that millions of petrol-heads now automatically associate with the Gran Turismo series.
It also means you still get the enormous variety of cars to drive that you’ve come to expect, with close to a hundred models to choose from, contributed by major manufacturers from Japan, Europe, Korea and the USA. In keeping with the game’s title, however, a number of them are concept cars, of the type normally only seen at motor shows – the kind nobody usually gets to drive. As well as the awe-inspiring concept cars, there is the usual range of production models, as well as race-developed variations, full-on racing cars, rally cars and fantasy models.

Gran Turismo 4 features similarly, authentic racing gameplay with new fully-enhanced features that focus on more cars, courses, race modes and online gameplay via the Network Adaptor (Ethernet/modem) (for PlayStation 2). Developed by Polyphony Digital Inc., Gran Turismo 4 uses an all-new physics engine coupled with revolutionary technology to deliver enhanced, if not perfected, game physics and graphics providing a near-realistic automotive racing simulation.
In Gran Turismo 4, the characteristics of the cars are realistically designed and calculated so that they handle to the “real-life” physics of that particular vehicle, taking into account weight, speed, friction, wind, and more. To further enhance the realism of the driving experience, new technology blends real-time action with a photo-fixed background to immerse the player in real-life environments such as New York City, the Grand Canyon and others. Highly detailed vehicles and environment mapping create broadcast-quality graphics, from light and competitor car reflections on the player’s automobile to leaves on a tree shaking in the wind.
In offline gameplay, players will have the opportunity to race in an enhanced arcade and simulation mode based upon similar game mechanics from Gran Turismo 3 A-spec. In both modes, players will have access to experience more than 500 authentic automobiles encompassing manufacturers from around the world, with a range from vintage to modern vehicles. Courses include existing closed racing circuits to specially designed city courses, reaching a total count of up to 100 tracks.
The arcade mode allows players to compete against each other or the artificial intelligence on select courses. The simulation mode allows players to start from the bottom and earn their way up the ladder as they acquire driving licenses, race to earn money, unlock cars and courses, buy and sell cars, upgrade parts and compete in various championships. Playable from both first- and third-person perspectives, Gran Turismo 4 offers advanced opponent behavior to capture real-life racing and unpredictability of finishes.

Over time, he becomes the most vicious warrior in Ancient Greece to a point where he can’t bare it anymore and sets out on a journey to kill Ares. However, the only way to destroy Ares is to find Pandora’s Box, which is located in a temple that’s perched upon a hill and guarded by traps, puzzles, enemies, etc. The story is told as a flashback of three weeks prior to where the opening movie starts and then sets the stage for the game…

From the creative director of the Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal:Black franchise.
Centuries ago, the world was in imminent doom until a man defeated Angra and sealed away his godly powers into his own arms. People feared and revered this person who would become known as ?God Hand?. Legend has it that anyone who acquired such hands would possess immense power that could turn them into a deity or demon. Fast forward to a small town overrun with thugs wielding super-human strength.
A gruff drifter named Gene finds his way to this troubled region and defends a woman surrounded by a brutal mob. Despite his valiant efforts, Gene is overpowered by these thugs and his right arm is severed before falling unconscious. He later awakens to find his limb whole again and that he is now the possessor of the legendary ?God Hand?. The burden of being hunted by demonic legions seeking the right hand of God soon begins.
In God Hand, it?s judgment day as players assume the role of Gene as he tries to ward off the demons that seek to obtain the coveted appendage. Although he may have been granted the strength of the almighty, keeping these foes at bay won?t be easy as evil approaches from all directions for the ultimate showdown.
Fortunately with a vast repertoire of moves, delivering deadly blows and crushing attacks has never been so satisfying. Disintegrate every enemy into the very dust that blows through the town and exorcise the evil spirits that possess the locals by unleashing the power of the God Hand.
With nearly limitless combo possibilities, gamers can juggle enemies in the air and obliterate them with spectacular finishing moves. It?s Armageddon time!

In Gladius, players may choose to take on the role of Ursula or Valens. Ursula, from the northern land of Nordagh, is the daughter of a great barbarian king. Valens is the son of one of Imperia’s greatest gladiators. A bloody conflict between their two homelands gave rise to a vengeful dark god, which nearly destroyed all of mankind. Only with the help of the revered Valkyrie was the dark god defeated, but it came at a great cost of many lives. This gave rise to an uneasy peace that has existed for decades between the two lands. Now the two young heroes must fulfill their destinies to keep the world from heading into another disastrous war.
Ursula and Valens join forces and travel across many lands, competing in gladiator tournaments where they recruit a variety of warriors.

Few people have the ability to see ghosts, and few spirits are able to communicate with the outside world, but the earth is nonetheless full of supernatural forces ? the remnants of every creature killed before its time. Some degenerate into monstrous creatures, others exist for centuries increasing in power and retaining a human mind. A number of these creatures have formed ‘The Parliament of Spooks’ and their sole aim is to steal back life from the living.
Enter Lazarus Jones, a young, idealistic Detroit cop, who is thrust into the role of Ghosthunter, after a routine patrol during his first week on the job unearths the supernatural research centre of Professor Peter Richmond. Whilst searching the facility for more clues Jones hears strange voices, and, during his investigation, he inadvertently unleashes the ghosts into the world.
Lazarus’s partner, Anna Steel, is abducted by one of the ghosts, leaving Jones to clean up the chaos left by the swarm of supernatural spirits and monsters enjoying their new found freedom and running amok on earth.
One of these creatures, Astral, bonds with Jones, allowing him to see into the spectral realm. Unwillingly propelled into the role of demon hunter, Jones begins his quest to find the professor, developing an expansive arsenal of ghost-catching tools and weapons, including Ghost Lassoes, Capture Grenades and Spectral Goggles. As his adventure progresses, Jones finds himself entwined in a mysterious conspiracy that appears to be connected to a spate of recent disappearances.
Back in the ’70s, whilst working in a secret research centre for the US military, Professor Richmond discovers the existence of ghosts and forms a group called the ‘Ghosthunters’ to capture and study supernatural creatures. The Ghosthunters discover Hawksmoor, a truly evil and malign spirit. Hawksmoor becomes obsessed with one of Richmond’s associates, Kate Heller, believing her to be ‘the chosen one’.
Richmond flees with his colleague, trying to keep her safe from Hawskmoor’s grasp, but unfortunately things don’t go accordingly to plan and both Hawksmoor and Heller’s spirit form (known as Astral) become trapped within ‘the array’ ? the machine the professor has created to capture ghosts. With Heller missing, and several children at the school killed, Richmond is framed for murder and forced to hide from the world.
When the game begins, Hawksmoor and Astral are amongst the ghosts who are released into the world. When Hawksmoor abducts Anna Steele, Astral merges with Jones to provide him with second sight.

Since 1995, gamers have been captivated by the strategic combat, giant humanoid armored vehicles (“wanzers”), deep storylines, and real-world settings of the FRONT MISSION series. Now, the series goes online for the first time in its history. This online title inherits the series’ three main features: challenging tactical battles, experience-based character development, and extensive wanzer customization.
Players choose to side with either the O.C.U. (Oceania Cooperative Union) or the U.C.S. (Unified Continental States), and fight for domination of the global hotspot known as Huffman Island. Players can either set out on the battlefield on their own, or team up with others to further their nation’s cause. Each battle is concentrated into several action-packed minutes, creating a fast “pick-up-and-play” experience enjoyable to even casual players.
From the in-game lobby, players control their characters as they communicate with fellow pilots, formulate battle plans, and perform other daily duties. Once on the battlefield, players set out on their armored wanzers-giant humanoid combat vehicles-to seek and destroy the opposition.
At the beginning of their career, players will hone their combat skills against NPC-controlled enemies on their army’s training grounds. But once they feel ready, they can test their mettle against players from the opposing nation in the expansive FLZ (Frontline Zone).
As the action may become hectic during player vs. player fights, an integrated voice chat system using headsets is being implemented. This will allow for faster and more accurate communication between players fighting in the same battle group.
Once players achieve a high enough rank, they will be able to receive missions created by their nation’s central command, and issue them in part or in whole to other players. The results of these missions will significantly affect Huffman Island’s balance of power.

In the year 10191, House Atreides and the Harkonnen fight a bloodthirsty battle for the control of the desert planet Arrakis (Dune). It’s only resource is Spice, the only commodity that will ensure its people a long life and greater economic powers. Only two Atreides will survive the all out massacre masterminded by the sinister Harkonnen. These include Paul Atreides, the son of Duke Leto and heir to the Atreides throne, and his mother, Jessica. The pair narrowly escape and seek vengeance over Harkonnen. The game player takes on the role of Paul and joins the tribe of Fremen, a native tribe of Arrakis, with the sole aim of saving the day and restoring the planet Dune to its rightful state of independence.
During the two years with the Fremen, the storyline revolves around Paul and his integration into the very heart of the Fremen tribe. Spies, intrigue and assassination attempts are everyday occurrences for Paul. The atmosphere is clearly felt and meticulously reproduced throughout the game. You play one of two survivors from the apocalyptic aftermath of the Atreides massacre plotted by the diabolical Baron Harkonnen.
As Paul, you must undertake many missions and display your bravery and worth. You must destroy the Spice smugglers, harass the Harkonnen, sabotage factories, discover new hiding places to stock spices, and so forth. During your missions, you will be forced to explore all known places on Dune. By doing so, you will be able to perfect your fighting techniques. Prepare yourself for battle and knife combat, and practise the powers that will make you an exceptional being and an invincible force to be reckoned with.
The essence of the game is based on action fuelled with finesse and discretion.

FORMULA ONE 2003 is the only game to incorporate all the up-to-date season statistics, as well as the likenesses of all 20 of the official FORMULA ONE drivers and all 10 FORMULA ONE teams with their current liveries. Every one of the 16 official Grand Prix circuits have been mapped to an astonishing level of accuracy, while the exhaustively-researched car performance and specification details are unmatched, thanks to data provided by the teams themselves.
FORMULA ONE 2003 provides a more authentic driver experience than ever before. It is the only title to incorporate the radical new rules for the 2003 season, implemented to make the sport more competitive and thrilling than ever. The authenticity extends to the new race weekend regulations, where Fridays involve an initial qualifying session, Saturdays the all-or-nothing one-lap qualifying session and Sundays the race itself.
Each circuit is modelled to greater detail than ever, and all objects – such as bollards, braking boards and advertising signage – will now be collided with if you miss your braking point, or misjudge the racing line and end up off the circuit. And it’s not just you that can make expensive errors: new AI routines to incorporate driver personalities mean that computer-controlled drivers can act and react just as they would in real life – and even be just as fallible under pressure.
The damage you do to your car when you get things wrong is also more authentic than ever before. Whether you hit another car or the scenery, or suffer engine failure, the new damage and failure programming routines ensure you suffer the consequences in a realistic way. And it’s not just you that can suffer engine failure; you’ll also see your competitors retiring with blown engines and electrical failures, or making driver errors.
These levels of authenticity means FORMULA ONE 2003TM provides a completely immersive gameplay experience, yet still offers pick-up-and-play accessibility to all fans of the sport. You’ll even enjoy commentary from the real-life commentators from FORMULA ONE TV coverage around the globe, from Martin Brundle in the UK, to Heiko Wasser in Germany and Matti Kyllonen in Finland.
So, whether you’re cutting through the back-markers in the twisting streets of Monaco, or hanging on for dear life, flat out on the Parabolica Curve at Monza, FORMULA ONE 2003 promises to be the best implementation of the tension, exhilaration, spills and sheer adrenaline rush of FORMULA ONE racing yet seen, providing you with everything you need to be a FORMULA ONE driver – apart from the beautiful hangers-on and the apartment on the C?te D’Azur.

Just like your millionaire driver rivals, you have testing and practice sessions with which to set your car up for the circuit. You’ll perform minute adjustments to the car to tweak the maximum benefits from it, before splashing in the bare minimum of fuel and going flat out in qualifying, trying to shave fractions of a second from your lap times to get the best grid placing for the race itself. Finally the race comes around… you sit on the grid, sweating with your finger on the launch control button to time your start to perfection and hit the front in the flat-out sprint to the first corner; the lights come on in sequence; all around you engines scream out the revs…
The race itself is no mere thrash against identikit, computer drivers, either. As the race progresses, you’ll notice that drivers mimic their real-life behaviour, with some more aggressive or reckless, while others are smarter or more cautious; some can be intimidated into moving over while others would rather lose their own wheels in a collision than let you through – all thanks to the extensive use of individual driver A.I. Even your pit crew and technical team is intelligent, making and adjusting decisions according to the circumstances of the race, based on unique parameters compiled by Formula One authorities.
The circuit details have been taken to new heights of accuracy, providing an unprecedented recreation of each Grand Prix venue. You’ll hear the crowd roar as you flash through stadium sections. Realistic particle effects for tyre smoke, water and dust make every spin, downpour, misjudgement or coming-together a visual treat, whatever the outcome to you personally. An optional, in-game 50/60 Hz switch delivers intense racing action whatever your home entertainment set-up. And the complete Formula One experience is enhanced still further by the addition of pit-crews and podium celebrations, brought to life using the latest motion-capture technology.
The total tele-visual effect is completed by the inclusion of the official TV commentators, in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Finnish, featuring household names such as Martin Brundle and James Allen, Jacques Laffite, Pierre Van Vliet, Heiko Wasser and Christian Danner.
The Formula One series has long been one of the best recognised and biggest selling licences in the world of gaming, and this brandnew production delivers the best in-depth racing simulation with unmatched levels of accuracy, authenticity and realism.
The official licence means you’ll find every team, driver line-up, car design and performance detail correct. All new track alterations for the 2002 FIA Formula One World Championship season – including the completely revamped and shortened German Grand Prix circuit are also included, giving you the most accurate recreation of Formula One ever released.
There are two ways to play. The Arcade mode is more easily accessible, and allows you greater leeway in how you can throw the car about through those tight Monaco Grand Prix streets or long, sweeping Japanese Grand Prix curves. This is the mode to choose if what you want is a quick blast.
If you’re like most Formula One nuts, though, you’ll be in it for the long haul and want to test your enthusiasm and knowledge – and, it goes without saying, your reflexes and driving skills – to the absolute limit. Simulation mode is the one for you, where unparalleled depth and incredible attention to detail draw you into one of the most immersive Formula One gaming experiences around.

The story of FINAL FANTASY XII takes place in a world called “Ivalice,” in an age when magic was commonplace and airships plied the skies, crowding out the heavens. A world of many races, the humes, bangaa, viera and, of course, moogles, all call Ivalice home.
War was on the horizon. Seeking to strengthen its base of power, the great Archadian Empire had been invading and subjugating its neighboring kingdoms one by one. The small Kingdom of Dalmasca was one such kingdom.
When the occupying Archadian forces established a new consul in Dalmasca’s Royal City of Rabanastre, it caught the attention of Vaan, an urchin living on the streets. To Vaan, the Empire was a hated enemy who had taken the life of his brother?his last surviving family member. Vaan hatched a plan to sneak into the castle housing the new consul and unburden him of one or two of his treasures. But before he would have the chance, Vaan got far more than he bargained for; a resistance movement of former Dalmascan soldiers rising up against the Archadian Empire was launching an assault! Amid the ensuing confusion that engulfed the castle, Vaan saw something he could scarcely believe. There, among the members of the resistance, was the figure of the sole remaining heir to the Dalmascan throne, the Princess Ashe, who’d been given up for missing…
Our story follows Vaan, Ashe, Vaan’s friend Penelo, the sky pirate Balthier, his partner Fran and many more on an adventure through Ivalice that traces the mysteries behind the Archadian Empire’s invasion. Since 1987, the FINAL FANTASY series has sold over 60 million units. FINAL FANTASY XII carries on the proud tradition, bringing new ideas to the series and innovation to the RPG genre.
Every aspect of the graphics brings color to the world of Ivalice?blues and oranges reminiscent of the Mediterranean evoke a landscape alive with a mix of European and Arabian imagery.
Airships feature prominently in FINAL FANTASY XII. They come in all shapes and sizes?the main airship in this story is a medium-sized craft that measures over 1,000 feet from bow to stern. Airships are used for everything from the trading of goods to the waging of war.
The story isn’t all that’s new?experience an evolved battle system with numerous features never before seen in the FINAL FANTASY series.
1. ADB ? Active Dimension Battle is a shift from ATB (Active Time Battle), lending more realism to the battle by allowing seamless switching between the field and the battle scene.
2. Load time between the field and the battle scene that is unrelated to actual gameplay has been eliminated, ensuring smoother gaming.
3. Besides time elements, such as the attack timing, the player can fully utilize the field geography in terms of differences in ground level, intricate terrain, places with low visibility and the like.
4. Enemy monsters can also take advantage of the varied tactics that ADB offers, possessing sophisticated AI to ambush parties, back up their comrades and restore HP.
Ivalice sounds better, too, with in-game events and movie scenes presented in Dolby Pro Logic II.
