Classic Replay

  I've played almost every game the PlayStation has to offer, even the Japanese exclusives. But in my personal opinion, these are the games that pushed the PlayStation Hardware to the extreme. Naturally I couldn't fit them all in, but these are the games that made me sit up and go... "Wow!" It's is too easy to look at these games today and quickly dismiss them, but at the time, the PlayStation console and the developers supporting it really showed us what Sony's hardware could do. Not many console's got the chance to showcase their true potential, but with the Sony PlayStation, we witnessed humble beginnings turn into leaps and bounds.

I’ve been chasing pixels for as long as I can remember, the craze started with Pole Position and spiralled out of control with Outrun! Ever since then I’ve been firmly shackled to the genre. Racing around in a pixelated Ferrari at breakneck speeds has always been that little bit more achievable than racing in the real world.    The discovery of certain games can happen when you least expect. Whilst answering the call of nature, I stumbled across a Ridge Racer V review in an old issue of Edge. I used to feel like a bit of an interloper when it came to the Playstation and I completely missed Ridge Racer the first time round. You see, I backed a different horse - the Saturn, then later the Dreamcast. I did however still have access to loads of cool games, and I played some great driving games such as Sega Rally, Daytona USA, Ferrari F355 and MSR.  A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to pick-up a shiny, nearly-new, copy of Ridge Racer V, it was found in the 'Billy bar...

I'm sitting on the sofa staring at the screen, for the third night in a row. I'm really struggling to progress in this apocalyptic future. "This time!" I say to myself, as a stray bullet firmly plan ts itself into my head. I reckon The Last of Us is basically practising for when the dead will one day inherit the Earth, maybe in my lifetime? People like me will be prepared and ready, armed with 'shiv's', and sections of drain pipe! "Bollocks!", I shout! At 3:49am, my girlfriend and I have been playing for nearly six hours straight, and I need to be up for work in a few hours. I don't recall sleeping, but three hours later I was driving to work, listening to Talk Sport, trying to stay awake! Damn you The Last of Us.  You may, or may not already know, The Last of Us is a type of role-playing game set in a post-apocalyptic future, after the human race has been ravaged by an unknown disease, turning its victims into zombie-like creatures - ...

Computer games have always been better than movies, not a lot of people knew that until now. In its first weekend, GTA V has made over a billion dollars, with sales showing very little signs of slowing. It's currently the biggest world Rockstar have ever created, some 50  kilometres  in size, and an interaction level the likes we've never seen before, but at what cost? The industry is talking about GTA being the most expensive game ever created, costing over £170 million, with five years development, double the cost of GTA4 . First day sales were estimated to be around £500 million. A milestone for Rockstar games, yes, but what about the loyal fans that helped put them there? I'm all for celebrating advancements in technology and gaming, but I'll personally need to wait until GTA V  shows up in a random bargain bin or local car boot before splashing the cash anytime soon. Not because I'm tight or skint, because I've got a life and more important th...

Designer Racing: Motor racing is dead! Long live anti-gravity racing! This old skool, but futuristic racer, used to be my crack pipe of gaming. Wipeout is a white knuckle adrenalin rush, from start to finish. The opening sequence sets the game up nicely, and the boys at Psygnosis should have been knighted on the presentation alone. What's it all about: The year is 2052, and Anti-gravity racing has become the biggest show in the Solar System. This ballistic racer puts you in the cockpit of a souped up craft. In the Championship mode, you must race across six massive circuits in a bid to secure first place. The tracks contain all sorts of crazy swerves and curves, and on the later tracks, you'll need to rely heavily on the air brakes. How does it handle: There are two racing classes in Wipeout. These are Venom (beginner) and Rapier (Hard as nails). If you're skillful enough to complete all six tracks, and finish top of the points table...
