Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance II (PS2) (U) Platform: PlayStation2 Condition: Pre-Owned/Used in Very Good Condition This Title Also Available As: New: Brand New and Sealed games available Please get in touch for information on these options. Pre-owned games supplied with applicable serial keys. However - please note: Any single use keys or activation codes may have already been used/redeemed. Product Description Darkness gathers yet again in the sprawling port city of Baldur's Gate. Bloodthirsty bandits stalk the trade roads and a secret society of heartless assassins dominates the criminal underworld, abducting citizens on moonless nights and dragging them screaming into the darkness. The city's most recent saviours vanished along with the Onyx Tower and so, in heroic tradition, adventurers throughout the Western Heartlands make the journey to Baldur's Gate to meet their great and unknown fate. Embark on a new adventure in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II and brave terrible dangers in search of fortune, glory and power. Face a multitude of sinister enemies while travelling through many spectacular environments in this action-packed fantasy game. Rid the lands of chaos, mastering skills, spells and deadly weapon. The fate of thousands hangs in the balance. Review Billed as the role-playing game for people that didn't like role-playing games, the original Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance was a surprise smash in 2003; now the sequel, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II, is here to carry on the good fight--almost literally, as the last game ended on a bit of cliff-hanger with our heroes being menaced by the vampire king Mordoc. Despite the Baldur's Gate name Dark Alliance II, with its real-time combat and simplified stats and rules, is more Gauntlet (or Diablo if you're too young to recognise that reference) than the Baldur's Gate PC games. This is not to imply that it's a simplistic button-basher, though; the combat is highly involved, with different styles of melee, distance and magic attacks depending on which character you choose to control. When you're not fighting (which isn't often) you can take part in those other stalwart features of the RPG genre, shopping and levelling up--both of which are made as easy and interesting as possible. If you're wondering what has changed or been improved for the sequel, the simple answer is not much. Even the graphics seem the same and the few gameplay features that have been altered are entirely minor. To be fair, though, there wasn't much wrong with the original. -- David Jenkins

Product Information Gritty, uncensored content Intense combat in diverse environments Unconventional warfare with authentic weaponry Character growth, advanced AI and realistic injury modelling For 1 player Product Description Platform: PlayStation2 ShellShock: Nam '67 (PS2) Manufacturer's Description ShellShock: Nam '67 immerses you in the most controversial conflict of the 20th century: the Vietnam War. Taking on the role of a rookie on his first tour of duty, you will experience the fear, chaos and atrocities of the Vietnam War. From the napalm bombardments of civilian villages and the gruesome Viet Cong (VC) booby traps, to the permanent threat of invisible foes and deadly ambushes, ShellShock: Nam '67 dares to go where no other war game has gone. It's January 1967. After being drafted and completing basic training, you are plunged into the steamy jungles of Indochina. Heroic ideals of fighting for honor and country quickly fade in the face of the fierce warfare: there is no glory in death. As a rookie soldier, you must quickly learn the finer arts of jungle and urban warfare to become a battle-hardened soldier and survive your first tour of duty. Your base camp forms the central focus for your Operations, with your primary objective to pacify threats from the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army (NVA). You will need to venture deep into the hostile Vietnamese countryside to search out and destroy enemy troops and encampments. With visibility low, potentially every bush and tree could be an enemy-hiding place. Only by careful observation and hastily learnt war craft shall the enemy be overcome.

Pre-owned games supplied with applicable serial keys. However - please note: Any single use keys or activation codes may have already been used/redeemed. Product Information One of the first role-playing games for the PS2 Play as Joseph, on a quest to find some ancient rings Conjure up to 20 different creatures out of the ether to aid in battle Meet others in your journey and add them to your party Includes multiplayer party-based mode Product Description Summoner (U) (PS2) Review Summoner (U) highlights all the reasons why many publishers steer clear of the role-playing game (RPG) genre. Most RPGs are heavy on text, light on adventure, and, thus for most gamers, boring. The set up to Summoner (U) 's sweeping story line is so slow at the beginning that anything good coming later in the game is completely masked. As the story begins, you play as Joseph, a young gent who has vowed to never again use his summoning powers. This is because a demon he had previously summoned to protect his village actually burned the village down and killed everyone he loved. Those who stick through this heavy exposition will be rewarded with a twisting, non-linear plot. The environments are carefully designed, built, and textured to convey a grand sense of scale and colour. The castle's courtyard, for example, is a great place to visit, as its booths and caravans are festooned with colourful cloths and coverings. The place is abuzz with people, many of whom want to chat and share information with you. The castle itself is immense, dwarfing everything and everyone around it. The game's graphical splendour is cut somewhat short, though, by draw-in problems that give it a terribly disjointed look. Summoner (U) 's combat system is pretty cool. The idea is to chain your attacks by pressing the controller's D-pad while your sword blow is being delivered. A little chain icon appears above your character's head and signals when to time your move. By chaining attacks, you can sustain your own offensive action and make the attacks longer, more interesting, and much more fun. --Todd Mowatt
