Because of your past as a racer, you are sent on an undercover mission as a wheelman for hire in order to investigate the Castaldi crime family. The investigation will take you to Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, but before you can get these cities, you must take a driving test and prove that you have the skills to be a wheelman. After passing the test, tackle the missions of the story mode, which has over 40 missions that involve picking up and dropping off items or pursuing and disabling other cars. One of the major obstacles to completing your goals is the cops; they don't know that you are undercover, and letting you pass would blow your cover.

]]> 12 Jan 2007 02:33:45 Need For Speed 3 Hot Pursuit NEED FOR SPEED 3 offers five different modes including Single Race, Tournament, Knockout, Practice, and Hot Pursuit. Hot Pursuit is one of the more fun modes you're likely to see in a racing game, as it gives you the chance to go on the lam and lead the cops on a wild goose chase. Pay attention, though, because the police have some tricks up their sleeves, namely tire spikes and roadblocks. Tournament is the deepest mode, as it lets you enter a series of racing tours in order to prove your dominance. There are eight cars and eight tracks in the game, although not all of them are available from the get-go. But you can unlock the new cars and tracks by performing well with the initial cars and tracks. Some of the well-known cars you can expect to drive are Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Chevrolet.
]]> 08 Feb 2007 09:45:30 Chrono Cross
Twenty years after the events in Chrono Trigger, a new set of adventurers are preparing for a battle that will surpass even space and time...

The life of the young boy Serge from a small, secluded fishing village takes an exciting turn for the worse when he is mysteriously transported to a parallel universe. While exploring his new surroundings, he is attacked by unknown assailants, bur rescued by a beautiful girl. Seeking to make sense of what is going on, Serge agress to join the young woman, Kid, on her quest for a hidden artifact.

Little did he know that an adventure of cosmic proportions awaits him on his journey. With agents from a parallel universe searching for him, his life has been anything but dull. Even more unsettling is his encounter with the mysterious demihuman, Lynx, who claims a familarity that Serge does not feel. Hunted on all sides with nowhere to turn, he must puzzle out the motives of his pursuers, all the while trying to understand his own role in this similar yet vastly different world from his own.

Featuring a story line developed by the creator of Chrono Trigger and Xenogears, Chrono Cross has been christened the "Best RPG Creation" by it's development team. With multiple scenarios cast along a single story thread, and many different endings, each replay can result in an entirely new adventure.

In addition, a brand new battle system makes combat smooth and innovative by introducing an elemental field system and combo system that gives the player unparalleled flexibility in their fighting options. The elimination of random battles also quickens the pace of the game, and places the choice of where to battle in the players hands, with character designs by a famed Japanese illustrator and music by the original Chrono Trigger composer, Chrono Cross features visuals and sounds that bring its magic to life.

Additional Game Features:

  • Battle System: Much more than the simple "select a command and watch its effects" system that has been a part of RPGs for so long, Chrono Cross takes the strategic element in battles to a whole new level. A combo-system allows the player to choose between three levels of attacks, and string them together to form effective fighting patterns. As characters increase in level, new techniques become available, letting two or more characters combine their attacks to form powerful combinations. Random battles are also a thing of the past. Now all enemies can be seen on screen, giving players the option to avoid or outrun unnecessary battles.

  • Magic Elements: Much like the new battle system, the magic system in Chrono Cross introduces new strategies into the game that completely changes the scope of spell effects. Magic in the Chrono Cross world is governed by the use of elements, or spells which are assigned a position on an element grid. Depending upon its position in the grid, weak spells can have their strength boosted considerably at the cost of a slower casting time, while strong spells can be cast quicker, but at the cost of reduced effectiveness. Additionally, each spell and character in the game has an elemental color, which alters its effectiveness against opposing and allied colors.

  • Branching Story and Multiple Endings: Despite being a sequel to the popular Chrono Trigger, the story of Chrono Cross stands on its own merits. Developed by the same team responsible for Chrono Trigger and Xenogears, the epic tale spanning two parallel worlds features all of the elements that made the previous titles great, but adds its own brand of uniqueness. Forty plus characters make for an enormous number of side quests, while a branching storyline and multiple endings insure that players won't be putting this game away anytime soon.

  • Hand-drawn graphics and dazzling CG sequences: While gameplay and storyline are truly the elements that seperate a great RPG from a mediocre one, it takes well-developed visuals to tie them all together into an attractive package. In addition to lush hand-drawn backgrounds and character designs by a famed Japanese Illustrator, Chrono Cross also features cutting-edge computer graphics. Produced by the same team that developed the CG sequences from Final Fantasy VIII, the computer animation in this game represents some of Square's best work.

  • A multitude of playable characters and intertwining game scenarios.

    Believed by fans to be set several centuries after the Megaman X series, Megaman Legends is set in 'a world covered by endless water.' In this world people must make a living on the tiny patches of land remaining above the sea, relying on Quantum Refractors to power their machines. These Refractors are located in ancient ruins underground and out at sea and tracked down by explorers called Diggers and their Spotters. One day after a successful dig, 14 year-old Digger Megaman Volnutt, his friend Roll, her grandfather Barrel Caskett and Megaman's robot monkey Data (don't ask, it's complicated) crash their ship, the Flutter, on a small island called Kattelox and soon have to contend with a band of sky pirates called the Bonne Brothers, Reaverbots (guardians of the ruins) activating of their own accord and the prophecy of a great disaster seeming to be coming to fruition. Now Megaman's left to deal with all thse problems, with help from his 'family' and the islanders and learn about his own mysterious past.
    As always, Megaman is equipped with his Mega Buster, which can be upgraded with the many upgrades scattered around the island and he can also use a variety of special weapons, such as a mine-laying device, a giant cannon, and a drill just to name a few. These weapons aren't found whole however. Several items must be found first so Roll can put them together. The same process goes for upgrades for Megaman himself. For example, to get the Zetsaber, Megaman must first find a Broken Sword and Pen Light in the ruins or scattered around the island.
    It looks a bit dated now, and some of the voice acting is pretty terrible but the story is enjoyable enough and the game is solid enough to have stood the test of time.

    Each game takes place on a randomly generated level in one of the ten available styles, ranging from forests and deserts to Candy land and the moon (complete with affected gravity).

    In this 3D anime-style adventure, the un-named Professor has created a machine called the Peak Point Helmet, which increases the wearer's knowledge when worn. Unfortunately, he still needs to work some glitches out and a monkey called Specter has got hold of the prototype. Immediately deciding Earth would be a much nicer place if monkeys were the dominant species, with his army of helmet-clad chimps he hijacks the Professor's new time machine and begins to wreak havoc across time. Fortunately, the Professor's young friends Spike and Buzz are also sucked into the time vortex. Armed with a constant supply of gadgets at his disposal Spike now has to fight his way home, capturing monkeys as he goes, deal with a brainwashed Buzz and ultimately catch the now hyper-intelligent Specter with help from the Professor and his granddaughter.
    As well as the main adventure there are also 3 mini-games to be unlocked including racing and boxing. The control sticks are used to move Spike around and operate his many gadgets and whatever useful devices he can get his hands on. The adventure sends Spike from the prehistoric era to the present day with over 100 monkeys to catch. Ape Escape proved to be so popular that it has spawned 2 sequels, 3 spin-offs (the Ape Academy series and the up-and coming racing game) a remake on PSP and even a brief cameo in the Metal Gear Solid series.

    ]]>     26 Jan 2007 10:13:37     Chrono Trigger The 32-meg Chrono Trigger utilizes time travel, science-fiction, and fantasy adventure to create one of the best role-playing games ever. The game's hero, Crono, is transported into the past and ends up altering the course of history, and with it the future as well.

    The integral time travel element of the game enables players to alter the game by changing the past, give players multiple endings and excellent repeat game play value. There are mini-quests, a huge cast of characters, realistic time travel, non-linear game play, and more active and interactive battle scenes than Squaresoft's 1994, highly acclaimed, role-playing game Final Fantasy III.
