Excellent Atari real games
Wow, when I start the PS2 with this game is just amazing remember about a lot years ago when I play on Atari console, the execution of the games are full screen, and I bonus you'll find the real cartdriges images like was Atari old cassettes, machines and included a video from the creator of Atari. If you want to play again the Atari's games you have to get this. I bought here at amazon.com and in just 2 days can play.

Rose-colored glasses for some, rose colored stop light for me.
The Atari 2600 was a great system. Atari was a great company, almost unquestionably the most important in turning video games into commonplace items. There are some games for the Atari 2600 that, true to their old school arcade roots, are all about challenging, addicting game play. Atari developed very few of these. This could have been a great collection if they had also snatched up the rights to excellent third party games like Reactor and Solar Fox, but instead you're mainly left wondering where those nostalgic feelings for Circus Atari came from. Two Stars, one for the Swordquest comic, and the second because Tempest is still incredible. Go buy the Activision collection instead.

Amazing ! Wonderful! You got to buy this game. 18 classic arcade games like Centipede, Asteriods, and more.And 67 Atari 2600 games with classic games like Millipede ( this game is also from the arcade version also like Centipede,Astroids,their also in the home version too!) this game is awsome!

It could have been better...
This game is a great way to get people interested in the MMORPG EverQuest, but I do feel that it tends to be too repetitive.
Soon we will be the CHAMPIONS
The game is GREAT!!Played it with my sister and we had a blast.The characters' emotions in the voices in the storyline were excellent and very believable.Graphics were pretty good.Just wish we had 2 other friends to play it with.That would be the bomb!

a comfortable, familiar pattern
Snowblind, the developer behind the multi-console hit Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, released Champions of Norrath in 2004 exclusively for the PlayStation 2. Bearing a marked resemblance to Dark Alliance, this one is also a console adaptation of Blizzard's successful hack `n slash RPG Diablo formula. The player or players--up to four simultaneously in multiplayer offline mode--create their own unique heroes to venture forth from the city of Faydwer and out into the wilds of Norrath in an attempt to save the land from a gathering army of dark, powerful forces. The setting is hundreds of years before the Everquest fantasy game world known to players of that PC title, although familiarity with it is not a prerequisite for this game. A demon named Innoruuk is wreaking havoc in Norrath and to stopping it will require much in the way of combating goblins, orcs, vampires, giant ants, freakish spiders, frogmen, skeletal zombie pirates, whatever else...and ultimately Innoruuk himself. Cinematics and in-game spoken dialogues are all duly notable and do a fair job of winding the tale along, yet the story element doesn't come off as being very strong in the end. Rather, it seems merely an interlude to take a breath between long bouts of hacking and slashing at the endless minions of evil cascading down at you. Which, as it turns out, is just fine for this type of game.

this is one of the best games on my rack and I have about 20 or more this game has a good plot but still a of a funny plot and you get a compaion later in the game and she is inoing and then she says something iratating the prince says egsactly what the gamer wants to say wich is satesfing and ther is fiting climing jumping FALLING and onese you finish the game you can play it agan and agan and agan by now my record is about 6 times and I love it ech time as much as the first and also you get to thro the price off the cliff whenever you want and if you hert your compainon to much she will shoot you with her bow and the price will say OUCH but still not die anless he is alredy hurt anof then he will die and that is someting you will find out later if you buy this game and also I have fond that if you prevusly hurt yourself by falling a short langth over and over agan you can go back to her and hurt her then she will shoot you and you will die wich is sometimes fun to heer her yell NO or O NO. and this game mediocre on how hard it is basecly this game is fun fun fun.

Can't get enough!
Madden 07 is an awesome game to add to the collection. It is very fun, agrresive, and the graphics are great. Lots of bonus material with the hall of fame edition and this is definately a great buy!

Review of Brent D. Ray's Review
Well, I can only say this:
dont spend the extra money
i bought the hall of fame edition knowing that i shouldnt but i did. the bonus disc shows the same behind the scenes stuff that all of us have already seen before. the madden retrospective is pretty boring and tournament players talk about playing styles,whatever dont buy the hof edition unless you are a madden collector...with that being said i like the game pretty good, i havent played madden since madden 2005 and i didnt like it but so far madden 07 seems to be a good football game almost every game ive played has been close and exiting....... ...

Fun even for the grown-ups!
Great game for the kids. I must say I really enjoy racing with my daughters (ages 5 and 9) First section of game is a little tricky.

fun for all
We fell for this game after a new year's party.After new years we looked everywhere for this game and could not find it.We finally were able to order it.Since it's arrival it has been great fun for the whole family.Great game for all ages above 3 years.Very fun at party's and my boys ( ages 3 and 4) enjoy playing with the monkey's.They aren't really doing anything but with the way the game operates the still have a blast.A very fun thing to do every once and a while.

Great puzzle fun for all ages

Dragon Ball Z Coming Back
Dragon Ball Z has been known for its 2d-dimmension gameplay but now Tenkaichi takes it to 3-d, the gameplay great alot of character. I Loved this game DBZ got it right this time although Budukia 3 was good to. No problems her except the A.I is a bit to strong and there attacks do more damage and take up less energy. But once you master this game its game you can keep playing over and over again.

Revolutionary for DBZ games.
I enjoyed this game. It was really an improvement over the other Budekais, which I almost stopped buying, since the three seemed to be closely resemblant of one another. Why keep buying slight variations of the same game? But when Tenkaichi came along, I didn't pause to buy it. Not only did it have a new title, but it also had a new slant on things. The graphics were better, and the controls (were supposed) to be better. Did this game live up to my expectations? What about yours?
My new favorite DBZ game ever
This is by far the best fighting game ive ever played from its easier combo attacks to the 3D gameplay its simply an amazing game. But sure others may rate this game poorly because of the differance in controls from the previous games in the budokai series but that is an extreamly easy problem to fix you simply go to options select controler settings and search through until you find the settings you like, (I mean isnt that what the options menu is all about.) but i strongly reccomend this game to to gamers who like any game that yog get amazing 3D graphics, a great series fallowing game mode, customizeable charcters, many new arenas that where not in the former budokai games, many new playable charcters including baby vegeta, super android 17, giant ozaru (ape) vegeta, and gohan(great ape),and many more never before seen in any former budokai game. over all this is probaly the best,(My favorite) game I have ever owned or played ...

Great Game
One of the best games I have ever played.A bit hard but all the missions are managable.
Good fun but lack of depth becomes apparent.
Fun and frustrating, as one reviewer put it, is the absolute truth.Going off in your own direction is indeed fun but everything you encounter is scripted and set in stone.The freedom is only half-real.

Mars attacks! (?)
It`s pretty obvious that this game was based on the Tim Burton flick Mars attacks! (which ain`t a bad thing) to the obvious (oh c`mon, look at capitol city, exact replica of DC; which was part of the main assalt in MA) to the not so obvious. (they both have "!"s at the end of their titals) After you beat the game you unlock the full length 1959 B-movie: TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE.
Fun but boring
Fun game but boring after awhile. Good graphic and vast environment. If you're conspiracy fans, you'll see "stuff" in this game.

I wouldn't even rent it.
After this game drop in price, I decided it was about time to buy it. Big mistake. At first, the game seems very fun and interesting. You're an alien sent to Earth to....you guessed it, destroy humans. During the killing, you "harvest" DNA, which you can trade in for up-grades on your personal abilities, weapons, and flying saucer. However, these up-grades don't translate into new, different weapons. They just mean more powerful existing weapons, which is kinda lame. And at first, these up-grades are inexpensive and easy to come-by. Then the up-grades become expensive and taxing on your DNA budget. So you have to do tedious, mundane harvesting to get these up-grades, which in upper levels are almost needed to destroy enemies and accomplish your objectives. And while we're talking about enemies, the ones in this game NEVER STOP COMING. Apparently, the government is involved in some cloning because the just keep coming, over, and over, and over, and over, and you see where I'm going with this. The game is entertaining, it just doesn't last that long. Fighting battles in your saucer is also difficult due to this. Rocket launchers and anti-aircraft installments just keep on coming back too, pounding the living crap outta you. And health and ammo recharges aren't the easiest things to come by. The sandbox setup (you can run around and do whatever) is kinda nice, but with so few weapons (4) and mental abilities (4) things get boring very quickly. I wouldn't recommend buying it, or renting it for that matter, but if your curiosity overwhelms you like mine did, rent it. ... Read more

The steady decline is over!
I feel very pleased.
Hmmm.......
This game is a step in the right direction.I liked it, even though it wasn't very challenging.The puzzles were easy to figure out, the game is EXTREMELY short, but it did remind me of the "old school" raider games.
Tomb Raider: The Legend. Is the best among all Tomb Raider games.
This game is INCREDIBLLY great. The graphics are the best I have ever seen in any games.. It all is so beautifully done. Especially the Bolivia level.

Are you a delivery person? This game's for you!
I'm gonna keep this brief.
Most fun I've had in years
Just Cause is the perfect idea for a game; an undercover agent with an array of tools topples the beautiful nation's government. Any techniques needed can be used, as one can enter missions in many ways. While similar to GTA, the Stunts setup makes this game incredibly fun. Don't like that cop chasing you? Take his car without even stopping! Need in an enemy base? Jump off a vehicle and parashute onto the roof! The simple control scheme (in Control Setting 2, mostly) offers quick evasion of the worst crashes, but creates some horrible deaths. While driving in a forest, I jumped out of the car right before it hit a tree; just to be crushed when it bounced back! I had been killed by enemy, ally, and even civilian cars several times, even when I was trying to transport to a safehouse. The game has questionable sensors on the vehicles, making cars stop early or speed up when you are in the road. A word of warning: WALK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD!
Very refreshing free-roaming adventure
One of the best-looking games yet from Eidos, the 16-rated Just Cause is set in a vast tropical world which players can explore in a tempting array of almost 100 vehicles, including Jeeps, boats and helicopters.

The almost PERFECT game.
The overall game was very good.I liked the story-line, but the game itself could have been longer.On the downside, the game was too dark and the health upgrades were difficult to find without the help of a stategy guide.I did like the new acrobatics and fighting skills and I hope that the 3rd game is just as much fun and hopefully I will be able to see where I am going within the game.I would definitely recommend this game to someone else.

It only gets better and better...
This game is what Tomb Raider is supposed to look like. The game mechanics...the controls... Felt the first was the best overall game. The second is twice as good, but everyone has gotten wise, and now the competition is growing. The developers have realised what adventure gamers really want!

Like Sands of Time, but darker
Warrior Within is very similar in style to the Sands of Time but is darker, more violent, has some minor sexual overtones and a more interesting story line. The most exciting part of the game to me is when the Dahaka starts chasing you.Often times you don't know exactly when he's gonna find you, so it makes the game suspensful and a tad bit scary.I seriously start freaking out when I hear the music start.For the most part the puzzles are easy, and you can pick up the game after not playing it for months and still basically know what you're doing.My biggest complaints are that sometimes when you're in the middle of jumping or running they change the view on you and it sometimes screws me up, and sometimes the perspective is a little off so it makes it hard to see where you are suppose to go.Also, I really don't like blood and guts and sometimes when you do a special sword move on an enemy they put it in slow motion - like do I really need to see this guys head come off in slow motion?!Yuck!I usually would never buy a game with the Mature rating, and I can see why it got this rating, but a lot of times you are killing non-humans, like monsters and weird animals, so it doesn't bother me too much.

Star Wars rules!
I seen all six movies and they were amazing. I got this game a few days after I saw episode 3 after being freacked out by finally get a PS2 and it was one of the best game since dark forces.In some areas you play as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and in other areas you play as Obi-wan Kenobi.10 out of 10.

It's STAR WARS!!!
Great game.This game is a cross between "Star Wars Jedi Power Battles" and "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers".This is the only way I can really describe the game.I like the fact that you actually play the missions the went on in the game.I agree with another reviewer, they should go back to the original movies and do the same.They should do the same concept with "A New Hope", "Empire Strikes Back", "Return of the Jedi", "Phantom Menace", and "Attack of the Clones".I know the "Attack of the Clones" dealt with the battles in the movie, but I'm talking saber action, not so much vehicles.
Back to normal.
Remember when I said that this game was a piece of crap? Well everything is back to normal. We just got a newer copy of the game. If you belived in my other review (Buyers Beware), go sit in a corner for 5 minutes. If you didn't, pat yourself on the back. (This review is dedicated to George Lucas. No hard fielings.) ...

Well Designed Fighting Game
Dragon Ball Z - Budokai 3 follows in the footsteps of games 1 and 2. Part fighting game, part story mode RPG, you get to fully involve yourself in the Dragon Ball Z universe.
Best of Budokai
I got this game just about a week ago, and it was so awsome! I have a tip: to unlock #16, first beat Krillin's Dragon Universe Mode once. Then do it again, and at one point in the Namek saga there'll be 2 red dots on your map. Go to the one to the right and you'll have a conversation with Captain Ginyu/Frog. Proceed through Story Mode as usual. After the Namek saga, you'll discover that you can now play the Android saga! Go to Earth's southernmost chain of islands until you find the plains. Go there and you'll have a conversation with Trunks and #16. Fly to west city and you'll speak with Bulma. After the speech is over, you get #16! I don't see anything wrong with this game, except this: I CAN'T USE ANY SKILLS! I SET THEM IN MY TRAY BUT I CAN'T USE THEM! WHY!? WHY!? Overall, this is a very good game. I'm glad to be able to do something than fight all the time, flying around in Dragon Universe is fun!

Best of the Budokai series.
I think that Budokai 3 is by far the best game in the budokai series for PS2. The one-player story mode is excellent. After being subjected to B2's horrid board-game-style story mode, B3's was a refreshing improvement. I liked the fact that you're able to freely fly around the overworld map and search for dragonballs, capsules, and fights. The events are different depending on where you are and who you are playing, staying very true to the series. Furthermore, B3 has added a really great leveling-up system which allows you to customize your characters as you fight and gain experience. This keeps the game interesting and replayable.

Sets the bar for bare minimum
I had heard some good things about Star Ocean and was eager to try it out. Unfortunately, this proved to be a costly mistake that drained hours of my life which could've been better suited playing a "good" game.
FANBOYS, SILENCE!
I'm going to take a different approach to reviewing for a change, and make a checklist for Star Ocean 3 here. Why? Because I've never seen a more cliched rpg since Final Fantasy 7, and it pains me to know that I've played it, not having any way of removing it from memory any time soon.
The ins and outs, the pros and cons
Better than final fantasy (in my opinion)
