D.I.K.A

Doraemon (ドラえもん, Doraemon?) is a Japanese manga series created by Fujiko F. Fujio (the pen name of Hiroshi Fujimoto) which later became an anime series and Asian franchise. The series is about a robotic cat named Doraemon, who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a schoolboy, Nobita Nobi.

In March 2008, Japan's Foreign Ministry appointed Doraemon as the nation's first "anime ambassador."Ministry spokesman explained the novel decision as an attempt to help people in other countries to understand Japanese anime better and to deepen their interest in Japanese culture."The Foreign Ministry action confirms that Doraemon has come to be considered a Japanese cultural icon. In 2002, the anime character was acclaimed as an Asian Hero in a special feature survey conducted by Time Asia magazine.

The series first appeared in December 1969, when it was published simultaneously in six different magazines. In total, 1,344 stories were created in the original series, which are published by Shogakukan under the Tentōmushi (てんとう虫, Tentōmushi?) manga brand, extending to forty-five volumes. The volumes are collected in the Takaoka Central Library in Toyama, Japan, where Fujio was born.

A majority of Doraemon episodes are comedies with moral lessons regarding honesty, perseverance, courage, etc. Several noteworthy environmental issues are often visited, including homeless animals, endangered species, deforestation, and pollution. Topics such as dinosaurs, the flat earth theory, wormhole traveling, Gulliver's Travels, and the history of Japan are also covered.

Doraemon was awarded the first Shogakukan Manga Award for children's manga in 1982, and the first Osamu Tezuka Culture Award in 1997.

Main article: List of Doraemon characters

The names of the characters in Doraemon have been changed to various, completely separate names throughout other languages. For example, the main character, Nobita, is Jingu in Korean.

The only main female character is Shizuka, who serves as a semi-romantic girlfriend of Nobita, but otherwise a supporting, minor character.

Nobita's main human friends, Suneo and Gian, are both bullies to him when they are around together. However, Suneo seems to warm up kindly to Nobita if Gian is not with them. This suggests that Suneo is allied with Gian for only his power, so that he is well-protected from attack.

Nobita's robot ally, Doraemon, is from 22nd century Tokyo, and has a wealth of tools from the future that enable Nobita and him to help fend for themselves. Still, the tools often cause mishaps and instead become a burden.

There are many supporting characters, such as Nobita's parents.

Gameplay usually moves in a pattern of going to the Ninja Academy, getting assigned a mission (not optional ones, they're all from the story), preparing in town by buying items and equipment and eating ramen with teammates (to boost chemistry with them), then leaving for the dungeon involved. Equally basic is the dungeon navigation itself, consisting of straight-and-narrow paths with only 90-degree turns, which in their nature, make stylus-based navigation neigh intolerable, even for those who champion the concept in other DS games. The dungeons themelves are fairly well done, with enough branching paths and stuff to keep things interesting while still being straightforward enough to accomodate those who just want to blaze through. Also noteworthy is the ability to save anywhere, which, combined with the DS's great sleep mode, make the game perfectly portable.

Path of the Ninja's battle system is one of its better aspects. The player's team of Naruto-series characters lines up in a formation using three rows of layout (most turn-based RPGs use two). From there, it's mostly a traditional turn-based system mixed with the "jutsu" from the series, which are activated in ways ranging from button combination presses to certain actions with the touchscreen. It's simple, but pretty effective for a game like this, and its young target audience won't be overwhelmed. The only problem with it is that it's somewhat of a bother to dig out the stylus to execute the jutsu that require touching, since that's the only thing the stylus is ever used for in this game (aside from a brief minigame in the exam), so it's more tempting to use a finger and possibly smudge up the screen. Pull out the stylus and use it for three seconds before it's put away again for several minutes, or mess up the screen? Maybe I need to learn to get comfortable playing with buttons while holding the stylus, but really, screw that.

Crash Nitro Kart plays much like its predecessor, Crash Team Racing. The player races against other characters, which can be computer controlled or controlled by other players. Crates are placed throughout the tracks, which, when broken, grant power-ups. Collecting ten Wumpa fruit from special crates improves the effect of any power-up. Many of the tracks contain obstacles, which, if not avoided, will cause the racer to come to a complete stop briefly. New to this game is the Team Frenzy Mode, which allows players to race as part of a team. A victory by any one team member counts as a victory for the team. Additionally, getting close to a team member for long enough during a race grants unlimited weapons for a short time.

In Adventure Mode, the player chooses to play as either Team Bandicoot or Team Cortex. The player must travel through four worlds, collecting three trophies in each world by winning the three races there. Each world also features a boss which must be raced after collecting all three of a world's trophies. Defeating a boss earns a Boss Key, collecting all four of which allows you to race the final boss. The player must also collect other items, such as relics, obtained by finishing a race in under a certain time, CNK tokens, obtained by finding the letters C, N and K in a race track, and gems, obtained by winning special races.

In Battle Mode, players battle against each other in a number of competitions. These battles take place in special arenas. The Arena Editor allows the player to change arenas by placing crates and other objects anywhere within an arena.

Much of AdventureQuest's game play revolves around fighting monsters. On the players turn they may attack, equip a weapon shield or armor, drink a potion, cast a spell, call a pet or equip a miscellaneous item. Changing armor, weapon or shield does not use up a turn but equipping certain items, changing pets or drinking a potion does. On an opponents's turn it may attack, though some monsters have special attacks such as healing. Pack monsters and a few other monsters can summon reinforcements, which doesn't take up a turn.

As players defeat monsters, they gain Experience Points (XP) and gold. The XP is used for leveling up your character for more Mana, Health, etc. The gold is used for buying stronger items.

A more in-depth Gameplay description under Combat Mechanics.

The Elements

While there are 8 primary elements (Earth, Wind, Water, Energy, Ice, Fire, Light, and Darkness) This game is balanced so there is no "better" or "best" element (with the exception of Void). The pattern of weaknesses typically, but not always, follows this guideline:

* Water attack > Energy
* Energy attack > Water
* Earth attack > Wind
* Wind attack > Earth
* Light attack > Darkness
* Darkness attack > Light
* Fire attack > Ice
* Ice attack > Fire
* Void attack > All

Sometimes certain species will be weak to an additional element. For example, the monster "Undead Horse" has a light modifier of 120% and an Energy modifier of 130%. This is not very typical of undead, as most are weak against Fire as well as Light. There also exists another element, Void, previously known as Element X. Some weapons, when triggered, deal Void damage (such as the Dragon Blade), or in their special attacks (such as the Gauntlet of The'Galin), the vast majority of monsters in the game have a Void resistance of 100%, however, there are handful that have a lower modifier. Its symbol (?) is a question mark. There are other secret elements that certain monsters use but, they are not available to players.

When an episode of the popular series "The New Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy", is supposed to be filmed in Bikini Bottom and Mermaidman and Barnacleboy fail to show up, with the show in danger of being cancelled, the show's producer, Gill Hammerstein makes it SpongeBob's job to find Mermaidman and Barnacleboy and gain roles for him and his friends in order for the show to go on.Mini-Games

The following Mini-Games can be played at any point during the game once they are unlocked:

* Long Jump
* Burger Bounce
* Manray Chase
* Krusty Krab

Roles

This is the list of roles that can be obtained in the game once certain conditions have been met throughout the stages:

* Stand-In
* Motorcycle Cop
* Lookout
* Waiter

Playable Characters

* SpongeBob SquarePants
* Patrick Star
* Squidward Tentacles
* Sandy Cheeks
* Mr. Krabs(councle exclusive)
* Plankton(council exclusive)

Players have access to three playable characters during the game, SpongeBob SquarePants; Patrick Star and Sheldon J. Plankton, and must guide them through nine levels of play in a dreamworld. Four different types of gameplay have been incorporated into the game, known as flying; rampaging; racing and platforming. During flying sections the game sets obstacles one in front of another, and the player must manouvre past them. In most cases, the game will tell the player which way to fly (up, down, left and right). On the Wii, you use the controller like an actual plane control stick. The most common cases of this is when SpongeBob uses his plane to attack a giant-sized Plankton. In rampage levels the player controls a giant sized Plankton and uses special powers and moves to destroy everything in their path. The player's laser's power is indicated by a bar on the right side of the screen, which refills after use. The Wii version features controller movements that respectively activate moves. Racing gameplay is similar to most racing games; it is featured in both the air and the ground's gameplay, fuel must be collected in order to keep the player's vehicle running. The platforming gameplay is spread throughout the game, such as when Plankton must escape from a live Krabby Patty.

Courage the Cowardly Dog revolves around the exploits of Courage, a small, fuchsia dog who, despite his name, is afraid of the most mundane things. Eustace, Muriel, and Courage are constantly attacked by (or running into) various monsters, aliens, villains, curses, experiments, natural disasters, and other forms of peril that Courage must face.

Every opening of the show documents Courage's past: "Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel, who lives in the middle of Nowhere with her husband Eustace Bagge. But creepy stuff happens in Nowhere; it's up to Courage to save his new home."

In the series, when Courage wants to save his family from the villain, instead of typical feats of strength, the villain is usually defeated in various other ways: Courage tricks the villain, he flees from them, makes amends with the villain, somehow convinces the villain to change, Muriel saves the day, or in some cases, the villain simply voluntarily moves on in favor of plotting another diabolical scheme.

A typical feature of the show is the spoofing or reference of various classic horror and cult films as the basis for many episodes. This is seen in episodes such as "The Demon in the Mattress", "The Precious, Wonderful, Adorable, Loveable Duckling", "Heads of Beef", "Klub Katz", "Journey to the Center of Nowhere", "The Great Fusilli", "Robot Randy", "1000 Years of Courage", "Invisible Muriel", "Human Habitrail", "Courage the Fly", "Mega Muriel the Magnificent", "The Transplant", "McPhearson Phantom", "The House of Discontent", "Courage vs. Mecha-Courage" and "Hard Drive Courage".

The object of the game is to help these resourceful preadolescents win a contest whose grand prize is a lifetime supply of jawbreakers. Throughout the game, Ed, Edd and Eddy will tap into their unique brand of resourcefulness as they earn money, solve physical puzzles, interact with their pals from the cul-de-sac and find hidden goodies. The players will control one Ed at a time, each with his own unique strength and weakness, and may dynamically cycle through the three main characters. Players will explore 12 levels, each offering a short animated cut-scene at the beginning and end. The Eds are the playable characters, each with their own skills and abilities. Ed can headbutt things, Edd (Double-D) can use a slingshot, a wrench and use switches that do different things. Eddy can use the hypnotizing wheel or the jetpack.

After being kicked out of their old house for causing major damage, the lovable Tom and Jerry enter a race to win a mansion. This race is supposed to have occurred in Fall 1995.

The race is initially from California to Mexico, but due to public ratings of the event, the finish line is continually pushed further away, going to places such as the Amazon, Antarctica, Australia, Borneo, and across the world until they arrive back at California.

The cartoon features all of the exaggerated violence usualy found in Tom and Jerry. The film begins with Jerry and Tuffy watching the Nutcracker Ballet. Later, Jerry goes to the empty stage floor, where magic begins to happen. Toys come alive including the doll Nellie (who can only talk if someone pulls her string) and Paulie the Christmas Ornament (who was missing a head, due to Jerry kicking it earlier on). The magic then makes a Music Box Ballerina come to life, and Jerry dances with her.

The stage is transformed into a wintry wonderland, where the toys are enjoying a dinner. Tom hears this, and, with the other cats, raid the feast, trapping the toys. Jerry, Paulie, and Nellie try to stop this, but are shot out of a cannon. Tuffy escapes, but the Ballerina is captured by Tom. Later on, Tom is called to gather men and stop Jerry. Tuffy gives the Ballerina string, on the end of which is keys. He then goes to stop Tom. Meanwhile, Jerry, Paulie, and Nellie decide to follow the star to a man called the Toy Maker. They stop in front of a frozen river. All make it safely, except Jerry who falls in, and becomes tangled in weed. He is freed, and is pulled up by Nellie and Paulie. This makes Paulie unravel. Tuffy gets to Tom, and dresses up as an angel and a devil. He is found out, and ends up sticking a trident in Tom's eye. He continues on to Jerry, warning him of the cats. Tom and his friends, disguised as Christmas Trees, surround Jerry, but Tom gets attacked by squirrels, and shredded in a tree shredder. The cats attack, but the heroes escape, inside a tree. The cats beat up Tom by mistake. They launch a cannon, which blasts Jerry and his friends into a house with clocks. Tom gives chase, but is pecked on by wooden birds. The heroes then come to a hill, in which Paulie loses his head. They go into the hole, only to find a fiery world with lava pits and dragons. A flame fairy gives Paulie his head back. A dragon wakes up, but is hypnotized by Jerry into lifting them out of the pit. They are chased by the cats again, and run into a fairground. Tom is virtually destroyed here, being crushed again and again - of course, this being a cartoon, he always revives. They make it to a ridge, and Jerry blows up balloons with which they make it off safely. Tom though, is blasted by cannons. One cat shoots an arrow, bursting Nellie's balloon. Tuffy grabs on to her, and unravels more of Paulie. Nellie is let down, and chased by the cats. Jerry saves her, but she lets go of him. The cats pull her string, and she tells them where the others are headed. The remaining three make it to the Toy Maker, who fixes Paulie, and gives them toy soldiers. The toy army, lead by Jerry, charge, and quickly stop the cats. Tom vacuums up many of the soldiers, but they are blown onto the cats. Jerry and Tuffy are eaten by Tom, but Nellie returns, and throws a hammer, smashing Tom's teeth. Jerry then pushes a toy train and all the cats ride on it until it hits a wall and the wreckage goes into a box, with all the cats inside. But, a wall falls down on Nellie, who has saved Jerry and the Ballerina. However, the magic revives her, and she begins to talk on her own, without a string having to be pulled. Jerry and the Ballerina dance, and the curtain is let down, ending the show.

The film begins on a pirate ship where Jerry is Tom's slave, giving him fish to eat. Red Pirate Ron uses a slingshot to get them on the deck of the ship. A wave washes onto the deck of the ship hitting Tom and Jerry. Tom sees a map is now on the ship. After winning a battle to another pirate known as Blue Pirate Bob (Red Pirate Ron's brother), the ship is cursed forcing the survivors to find the treasure on a lifeboat. Using Jerry's head as a guide, they run into a giant rock chicken, and another pirate named Purple Pirate "Barnacle" Paul (who is Red Pirate Ron and Blue Pirate Bob's brother). After defeating that, Tom and Jerry fall into 3 traps, one of which is a sea monster (which, according to Jerry is afraid of Tom). After getting the treasure, Jerry attempts to steal Blue Pirate Bob's ship, but is confronted by his mascot, Spike. But after Jerry offers him a golden bone, Spike is on Jerry's side. Using this, Jerry not only takes the ship, but avenges himself on Tom by making his swab the deck. Even the three parrots of the pirate brothers are on the ship and are happy to be serving Jerry now, and they sail happily ever after.

The movie makes extensive use of the classic MGM Tom and Jerry sound effects, including the famous Tom scream.

Tom and Jerry together with their owners are about to move to a new home. The moving van is at their old house waiting, and Tom doses in the back of the car. However when he notices Jerry he puts him on a stick, and Jerry, noticing no escape and knowing that he will fly, he grabs hold of Tom's whiskers so they fly together into the garden. Jerry quickly dashes into his mousehole and locks the door, Tom nailing wooden planks on the door. When Tom tries to get in the moving car, he ends up with a bulldog and ties up his ears so he cannot see. Tom runs into the house for safety and stays there for the night. Next day, Tom and Jerry notice that the house is broken down to make a new apartment as a replacement. They meet a dog named Puggsy and his friend Frankie the Flea that tries to teach Tom and Jerry to be friends. Then they all agree to have a 'feast' at their place and Puggsy makes a 'buffet' by collecting leftovers in the bin. When Puggsy's tray is crammed a dogcatcher captures Puggsy and Frankie and lock them in their car.

Tom and Jerry then meet an eight-year old girl named Robyn Starling, the daughter of Mr. Starling, whose mother died when she was a baby and is left behind with her horrid and evil guardian Aunt Figg when her dad goes away. Robyn runs away after her locket is thrown out the window and that's how she began to run. Jerry said to her if she run, her things won't be with her but Robyn said to them the Aunt Figg may seem sweet but she's real mean.

Cut to Aunt Figg crying in the house, scared of losing Robyn. With the help of her evil lawyer, Lickboot and her overweight dachshund, Ferdinand, make a reward of a million dollars for the return of Robyn, who they wish to sell for a ransom, engulfed by love of money. Robyn is recaptured, but manages to escape yet again, after Tom and Jerry are kidnapped by Dr. Applecheek where animals are abused. At this point, everybody is looking for the million dollar girl, and Aunt Figg and Lickboot manage to get to Robyn's escape destination first. What was planned as another capture quickly goes wrong when an oil lamp is knocked on the floor. As the house goes up in flames, Mr. Starling comes and rescues Robyn. Tom and Jerry are rescued too and taken to a new home where they both promise not to trick each other ever again. But the pair have soon reverted back to their old ways, and the movie finishes with the classic scene of Tom chasing Jerry into the distance...or just in their new home.

One is Challenge mode, where the player fights a certain set of characters (The opponents are the enemies of the character chosen from classic Tom and Jerry cartoons) until either Monster Jerry, a bigger and scary mutated Jerry, or Robot Cat, one of Tom's creations, is fought.

Tom and Jerry was a successful and long-running series for over six decades of theatrical short subjects created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The cartoons centered around a never-ending rivalry between a housecat (Tom) and a brown mouse (Jerry), whose chases and battles often involved comic violence. Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote and directed one hundred fourteen Tom and Jerry cartoons at the MGM cartoon studio in Hollywood, California between 1940 and 1957, when the animation unit was closed down. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Awards for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) seven times, tying it with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies as the most-awarded theatrical animated series.

In 1960, MGM had new Tom and Jerry cartoons produced by Rembrandt Films, led by Gene Deitch in Eastern Europe. Production of Tom and Jerry shorts returned to Hollywood with Chuck Jones' Sib-Tower 12 Productions in 1963; this series lasted until 1967. Tom and Jerry later resurfaced in TV cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera and Filmation Studios during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Today, Warner Bros. owns the rights to Tom and Jerry, and produces the series Tom and Jerry Tales for The CW's Saturday morning "Kids WB" lineup, as well as a string of Tom and Jerry direct-to-video films.

One Piece: Unlimited Cruise is an upcoming video game announced for Nintendo's Wii console based on the popular manga and anime One Piece. The game has been scheduled to be released in two episodes, one which will be released in the summer of 2008 and the second episode, which will follow up in the winter of 2008.

The trailer for the game shows that Luffy has a new styled outfit instead of his Unlimited Adventure costume. It also shows that the Thousand Sunny can be explored, showing many of the rooms inside of it.

Brook the skeleton has been seen in a screenshot, putting belief that he may appear in the game. Considering the fact he has joined the Straw Hat Pirates, it is likely he will be playable. In the end of the Jump Festival 07' Teaser Trailer for the game, Brook is seen as the trailer ends, causing Luffy to shout "What?!".

According to the information released by Famitsu, King Wapol, Marines and Skypiea's Priests will make appearance

Gameplay

With a Targeting system similar to Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the game is an Adventure Real-Time RPG. There are eight playable Straw Hats, with different types of gameplay.

The player can use different tools such as Bug Net, and Pick Axe. Other items such as Freeze Balls, Bombs, and Batteries can be used while fighting and power up your attacks.

Another addition to the game is the various character traits. For example if Nami catches any type of frog, she will scream in disgust, Sanji does the same with the "Crossbone Dragonfly". If you put Usopp in his SogeKing Special Costume, his entire voice track has been replaced with a more heroic one, fitting his alter ego. If you put Chopper in his Chopperman Special Costume, in the Camp Site you can see him flying in the background.

Besides the Adventure mode, there is a Battle mode. You can play Vs. Mode, with a friend or the CPU. This mode lets you choose 40 different characters, all of which you have defeated in the Adventure mode. From the popular bosses such as Eneru and Rob Lucci(both Man, and Man/Beast forms), to the basic Marine and Island Soldier. There is also a Survival Mode where you can play as either one of the Straw Hats, or one of the bosses in a huge 1 man brawl against 200 enemies against the clock.

One Piece: Gear Spirit is a fighting game for the Nintendo DS based on the manga/anime One Piece.

The game does not have a basic storyline. In this respect it is similar to Nintendo's videogame series, Super Smash Brothers. In the story mode you fight random characters at different stages, and each character has two event stages where they battle a rival or another character that is related to their story in the anime. For instance in Blackbeard's story, one of the characters he encounters in his event stage is Portgas D. Ace.

Gameplay

The game play is very similar to most of the Anime branded games that Dimp's was making at the time, especially for the Wonderswan and Game Boy. You can perform moves by pressing the A button, and B jumps. You can perform combo's with the A button, as well as use a with dashing and jumping. To perform specials you can press A and B at the same time, as well as do taunts by letting the character stand still for a few seconds. Each character has 3 taunts, a normal, an energy regaining, and a special power-up.

Specials in the game are activated by the character doing a move, if hit the it will go in a in game cuscene. Most of these are two screens of large pixel art familiar from the show. It is usually one of their biggest moves in the anime at the time, of if the character was never really touched upon it is a n Game only attack.

Tony Tony Chopper, as in most One Piece games has a Rumble Ball gimmick. He starts out with very week, and a very small moveset. After preforming his Power-Up taunt, he will consume a Rumble Ball, and for a small period of time he will have a full moveset, and a damage producing special.

Baratie

The Bistro of the Brine: Sanji's work place. It's a floating restaurant. You can fight only out of it. There is a deck where you can fight, and ruins of Don Krieg's ship that can be destroyed by use of a bomb. You also can also use the mast as a weapon. Pandaman is in a building.

Arlong Park

This is the HQ of the Arlong Pirates. It's a skinny field with Mohmoo in the middle. You can walk on Mohmoo and even hit him in the face.

The Ghost Rider game is one of the only games that received a "Teen" rating by ESRB that contained bloody violence and gore. Most other games that contain this material receive the "Mature" rating. Ghost Rider contains a lot of blood and gore for a teen game and many say it should be 16+.

Alternate Characters

After beating the game on certain difficulty levels, bonus character skins can be unlocked. They include Ghost Rider 2099, Vengeance, Classic Ghost Rider, and Blade the vampire hunter.

Blade Gameplay

If the player chooses to start the game again as Blade, they get slightly changed gameplay. Blade only has his Daywalker Sword for a weapon, he does not have the shotgun or chain-link attacks of Ghost Rider. Combo attacks are much more limited. He also does not replenish health by absorbing flames from the occasional fire-drums staggered throughout the game levels. Instead, Blade can suck the life force from any wounded foe that is a non-boss (readiness is indicated by a circle above their heads). However, during the motorcycle-racing sections, his vehicle can still shoot firebolts, and he can use his sword for melee combat.

The main mode of play in Crash Bash is the Adventure Mode, in which the player must win all 28 levels to complete. The player wins Trophies, Crystals, and Gems by beating the different challenges of each level. Certain levels require a minimum number of Trophies, Gems, or Crystals to gain entry.

Like the platformer installments of the Crash series, the player uses Warp Rooms to travel among the many levels of Crash Bash. The player can access additional Warp Rooms by defeating Arena Bosses. To complete the entire Adventure Mode, the player must win every Trophy, Gem, Crystal, and Relic in every arena. Each arena is played in the same manner; the arena continues until one player wins three rounds; winning three rounds earns the player a Trophy. After a Trophy is won in an arena, the player can return to the arena to win Gems and Crystals. After four Warp Rooms are completed, Gold Relics can be obtained, as can Platinum Relics.

When a certain number of Trophies, Gems, and Crystals have been obtained, an Arena Boss Event is unlocked. In Arena Boss Events, the player battles a single powerful adversary in a certain type of minigame. Defeating this boss requires the player to empty the boss's health meter. The player will also have a health meter. Every time the player takes damage, his/her health meter will lose some Wumpa Fruit juice. If the juice runs empty, the game will end. By emptying the boss's health meter first, the player will gain access to the next Warp Room, where more arenas must be fought.

The main gameplay element, which is introduced in Airborne, is the paratroop jump. At the start of each mission, the player begins in a C-47 along with fellow soldiers preparing to drop. The team then jumps out of the plane and parachutes down to the ground, marking the beginning of the mission. During the drop the player is able to freely control where in the field of battle they land; pre-determined drop zones are marked with a green flare, where the player will find their allies and supplies, however they can also choose to land elsewhere, which affects the way the game is played. For example, the player could land near the enemy stronghold and come up against heavy opposing firepower, or land on the rooftops with a sniper rifle and choose a stealthy approach to the mission. This free-roaming experience based on unlimited choice of landing spots offers infinite ways of gameplay, ensuring no two matches are alike. For Playstation 3, the SIXAXIS controller can be used to also determine which way the player leans, being accomplished by tilting the controller forward or backward. Additionally, unlike previous scripted first-person shooters, the missions in Airborne have no specific start or end point. As the player can land anywhere in the map, beginning the mission where they choose, they can complete the given objectives in any order they wish. The rate at which players become ready for battle depends on their skill at hitting the ground; a poor landing results in notification of a "botched landing", with the player having to spare a few seconds to regain composure. In addition to this, players can instantly kill an enemy soldier if they land on top of them

Vanguard's features are similar to that of Medal of Honor: Airborne. Players are able to customize their weapons, such as adding a scope to a M1 Garand and a larger ammo drum for a Thompson, although these upgrades are only available on certain levels missions.

At the start of each of the operations, players parachute onto a battlefield (with the exception of a glider insertion at the start of the Normandy invasion), and they can roughly designate where they land. Players who land at certain points in a level will be able to pick up weapon upgrades and ammunition. Missions can be played out in different ways depending on where you land and which weapons you obtain.

Operations

Vanguard's theaters are set in airborne operations from 1943-1945. These are:

* Operation Husky- Sicily
* Mission Detroit- France (Operation Neptune in the game)
* Operation Market Garden- Holland
* Operation Varsity- Germany

Chicken Run tells the humorous story of a band of chickens who seek to escape from their coop before their owners, the mean, unkind, heartless egg farmer, Mr Tweedy, and his greedy, overbearing wife Mrs Tweedy, turns them all into chicken pies, as she is not making enough money by selling eggs.

The star roles in the film are those of Ginger (voiced by Julia Sawalha), a hen who has absolute faith that the chickens can fly out of the coop if only they train hard enough, and Rocky Rhodes (voiced by Mel Gibson), a rooster whom Ginger believes can fly, but actually got shot out of a cannon, and that was how he "flew" to the farm. Mrs. Tweedy (voiced by Miranda Richardson) is the nefarious, grasping farm wife whose exasperation at low profits from egg sales leads her to reinvent her farm as a chicken pie factory, while her husband does all he can to prevent the chickens from (as he rightly believes they are) escaping.

The film proved a success with both children and adults, and showed that Peter Lord and Nick Park had the ability to handle the technical and writing challenges posed by a feature film, and thereby serving as a test bed for the 2005 movie outing for Wallace and Gromit, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Initially there is very little on the farm, save some old tools. The player must begin by clearing the large field on the farm of weeds, tree stumps, twigs, and rocks varying in size. From there they must plant a variety of crops to earn money to buy other needed things, such as livestock, to help them run a successful farm.

The social aspect of FoMT, as in other Harvest Moon games, is a very large part of the game. There are many villagers to befriend, and in doing so the player may unlock certain items and events that otherwise would be inaccessible. There are six eligible bachelorettes to choose from, including the Harvest Goddess. Once married, it is possible to have a son.

The game features all the official riders, tracks, teams and bikes of the 2007 MotoGP season, including the Ilmor GP team. The game allows the player to race in 5 game modes: Quick Race, Time Attack, Championship, Challenges and Multiplayer in a variety of difficulties and weather conditions.

According to the publisher the game offers challenging weather effects, accurate physics models based on real data and sound effects recorded from real MotoGP bikes.

The gameplay in Tony Hawk's Underground 2 is similar to that of previous Tony Hawk games: the player skates around in a 3D environment modeled after various cities and attempts to complete various goals. Most goals involve skating on or over various objects or performing combos. Scores are calculated by adding the sum of the point value of each trick strung together in a combo and then multiplying by the number of tricks in the combo.

THUG 2 also sees the return of the much loved Classic Mode. In this mode, the player has 2 minutes to complete as many of the tasks as possible, including high scores, collecting "SKATE" letters and finding secret objects. Many levels return from previous games, including an expanded warehouse from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and the airport from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

Digimon Rumble arena 2 is based on the Digivolve techniques of Digimon battling it out in a battle royal and to see who is the strongest Digimon of all!

Characters

The game features characters from the first four seasons of the anime (or Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers, and Digimon Frontier in Japan). Each one has their own special moves and digivolutions, as well as slightly varying normal attacks and taunts.

Playable characters

Agumon: Has a mixture of weak and strong attacks, but good range on his Pepper Breath attack. He digivolves to Greymon and WarGreymon.
Gomamon: Fast with weak offense. digivolves to Ikkakumon and Zudomon
Biyomon: Has advantage with speed but low in offence and defense. digivolves to Birdramon and Garudamon
Flamemon: He can digivolve to Agunimon and BurningGreymon
Gabumon: A slow, yet very offensively oriented Digimon. His digivolutions are Garurumon & MetalGarurumon.
Guilmon: Somewhat weak physically, but is very quick on his feet. His special attack, Pyro Sphere, travels straight forward and has a bit of a recoil. His digivolutions are Growlmon & Gallantmon.
Gatomon: She is the 2nd fastest character in the game and can also paralyze her foes. Her digivolution line is made up of Nefertimon and Angewomon.
Patamon: Low stats but is the fastest character in the entire game. digivolves to Angemon and Magna Angemon
Palmon: She is fast and attacks with poison and sleep dust.Togemon and Lillymon are her digivolutions
Tentomon: Both fast and strong, Tentomon can digivolve to Kabuterimon and MegaKabuterimon
Veemon: Limited range on all attacks, yet powerful. His Vee-Headbutt, Vee-Knock-Out and Vee-Punch moves can cause a lot of damage. Flamedramon and Imperialdramon Fighter Mode are his digivolutions.

One of the new features in Grand Adventure is Adventure mode, which allows the player to sail the Grand Line and visit various islands from the One Piece anime, similar to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (though unlike The Wind Waker, you will be able to select certain "hotspots" and sail there automatically). On these islands, the character will engage in combat against other One Piece characters, who if defeated may join your character's crew, or play in various mini-games. In the fights, characters gain experience points and can level up, where the player can level up certain stats of the character (HP, attack, defense, etc.).

Captains in Adventure Mode

There are 5 known Captains and their difficulties:

* Captain Monkey D. Luffy - Easy -level 3-30
* Captain Buggy the Clown - Normal -level 5-30~
* Mr.0/Sir Crocodile - Hard -level 20-40~
* Captain Chaser(Captain Smoker) - Hardest -level 5-30~
* Usopp - Pirate Panic (You can custom make your own team of pirates in Pirate Panic mode. You can also use any character you unlocked in the game.) -level 40-100

Tekken 4 introduced significant new gameplay changes from the previous games in the series. For the first time, it allowed players to maneuver around an arena interacting with walls and other obstacles for extra damage. These "environmental hazards" in turn allowed players to juggle opponents for consecutive combos and allowed the designers to implement a "switch maneuver", which let players escape from cornering and throw the tide in their favor. Also, the game engine had been tweaked to be more focused on the environment, causing the characters to move more slowly and fluidly than in Tekken Tag Tournament. Finally, the game introduced a brand new graphics system, that featured increased lighting, dynamic physics, and smoother surfaces.

In high level tournament play, it became apparent that the engine changes caused the game to heavily favor quick jabs and punches, upsetting some fans due to the decline in usefulness of more complex moves and strategies. Jin Kazama especially, was very over-powered, and if one were to look at the tournament records, he was used by nearly every top player.

Crash Twinsanity differs greatly in gameplay from its predecessor Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. The game is now played in a free-roaming style rather than the follow-the-path gameplay of the past. His control style is pretty much the same as previous Crash games. Much like the Jak and Daxter series, Crash is accompanied by his nemesis Doctor Neo Cortex.

Crash can use Cortex as a hammer, perform a spin attack while holding on to him, throw him across gaps to activate switches, and can even use him as a snowboard in certain sections of the game known as "Humiliskate". In two places of the game, a path must be cleared for Cortex (to an a cappella rendition of Flight of the Bumblebee) as to avoid getting himself killed while running away from a swarm of bees and Evil Crash, respectively. These sections go by the name of "Doc Amok".

In the earlier levels, Crash and Cortex will fight each other (obscured by a cartoony dust cloud and stars), allowing the player to steer both of them throughout a part of a level in a section known as "Rollerbrawl". If the characters remain stationary for a while, the characters can actually be seen using a number of tortures on each other (including Cortex spanking Crash and Crash banging Cortex against the floor respectively). In some areas, only Cortex will be controlled, armed with a raygun with a limited amount of ammo. If Cortex is without ammo, he will be defenseless and will scream and panic whenever he is moved. In others, Cortex's niece, Nina Cortex, can be controlled, using her mechanical arms to get her through levels.

Need for Speed: Carbon picks up where the player left off in Most Wanted, driving out of Rockport in his recently-retrieved BMW.

Driving through Carbon Canyon en route to Palmont City, a flashback of what seems to be a race against Kenji, Angie, and Wolf comes to the player's mind. A police incident at the end of the race forces the player to make a hasty escape from Palmont. In present day Carbon Canyon, former Police Sergeant turned bounty hunter Cross in his Chevrolet Corvette chases the protagonist down the canyon[5] leading to his BMW M3 GTR being totaled. Darius then compensates Cross, and the player meets up with Nikki on bad terms.[6]

Darius tells the player with the help of Nikki to clean up his image by beating the rival racing crews to gain territory and to reclaim his reputation as a respected street racer in Palmont. Winning races one by one, the player acquires territories and ultimately districts from Kenji, Angie, and Wolf. As the player meets up with racers who want to join the player's crew, several of the defecting crew members slowly reveal their side of the story, regarding the night the player took off from Palmont.

Securing all three districts, Darius asks the player to meet up with him, where he reveals he was just using the player all along. On the brink of being arrested by Cross, Nikki saves the player, and tells him that some of his team were telling the truth regarding about the police incident months ago, and finally joins the player's crew. Realizing that Darius was ultimately liable for the player's fall, the Player attempts to conquer Silverton, and oust Darius and his "Stacked Deck" crew, to clean up the player's reputation once and for all.

The player arrives at Rockport City, fresh out of the underground racing world, with a heavily-tuned BMW M3 GTR. Following Mia Townsend (played by Josie Maran), the player proves his driving prowess as he is pursued by a veteran police officer named Cross, who vows to take down the player.[3]

Races seems to be in the player's favor until a particular group of racers, led by the game's antagonist Razor, sabotage the player's car and seize the coveted BMW.[4][5] Without a car to escape in, the player is arrested by Cross, but is later released due to lack of evidence.[6] Mia picks up the player and then informs the player about Razor's new status on the Blacklist (a group of drivers most wanted by the Rockport Police Department). She then helps the player by assisting the player in acquiring a new car and working his way up the aforementioned Blacklist. Rivals are defeated one by one, warranting a sizable reputation and comparable rides with every Blacklist member taken down. She also sets up safehouses for the player to lie low in throughout Rockport as new boroughs are accessed, in exchange for placement of "side bets" on the player's races.

The final challenge for the #1 spot on the Blacklist pits the player in a race against Razor, with the player emerging as the victor, thus reclaiming the BMW. When Razor refuses to relinquish ownership of the car[7] and attacks Mia[8], who took the keys from him, she subdues him and in doing so she is revealed to be an undercover police officer. Mia throws the keys to the player, and orders him to escape the incoming police force. Razor is taken into custody and the player is pursued by the entire Rockport Police Department under the command of Cross[9]. The player manages to slip away from Cross and abandons Rockport City by launching the BMW over an old incomplete bridge that Mia points out to the player in a last phone call.[10]

After the player's escape, Cross brings up the player's rap sheet and adds him to the National Most Wanted List. In addition to Razor, the entire Blacklist is arrested with the "help" of the player.[11]

Need for Speed: Carbon's storyline acts as a sequel, set just after Most Wanted.

Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFSUG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — to find the guy only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.

Fast forward to the present day, where we see the player arriving in Bayview via airplane, with a note from Samantha referring him to her friend Rachel (Voiced over by Brooke Burke), who will set the player up there. He also has the keys to Rachel's Nissan 350Z, which is waiting for him outside the airport. The player then has the option to complete a few races in the car before inevitably returning it to the car lot, where Rachel will allow him to choose his first vehicle. This one is free, as it was paid for by the player's insurance from his totaled Skyline.

It is then that the player embarks on a quest to become the top racer in Bayview and eventually take down the man who sabotaged his ride in the flashback, who turns out to be Caleb. After winning many races, the player runs into Caleb's street racing gang, the Street Reapers. The gang has the same vinyl, paint, and rim set. The player challenges them to a series of URL races and eventually gets Caleb's second in command, Nikki, to join his side. Rachel tells the player that Caleb has been manipulating the sponsorship deals throughout Bayview towards him. After the player beats the Street Reapers, an infuriated Caleb challenges the player to one final race in his custom Pontiac GTO. The reward for beating the game is all cars and parts. If the player beats the game 100%, he gets Caleb's car. But, in order to beat the game at 100%, you must go back and race the events on the World Map in your Garage.

These abilities are a stronger belly-flop, a double jump, faster running speed, a longer spinning attack, and a bazooka which fires wumpa fruit. The game also makes heavy use of the new DualShock controller by using the vibration effect frequently.

There are a total of 30 levels in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, excluding bosses and the two levels which have two different entrances. Neither of these are required for 100% completion, and by obtaining the gems and relics in each, up to 104% can be achieved. Upon receiving these as well as getting all gold or platinum relics, an extra gem can be received from Coco in the Time Twister, totalling 105%.

Each level contains a Crystal, a Relic, and either one or two Gems, excluding boss levels. The secret levels do not contain any Crystals. It is essential to collect all 25 Crystals throughout the game to win. Crystals are usually found near the end of each level, and are hard to bypass. Relics are received for successfully completing time trials (see below). There are 30 Relics throughout the game. Clear Gems are received by breaking every box in each level. Additionally, some levels contain Colored Gems, which are received when a level's secret area is completed. A handful of levels contain Gems which are earned by completing a task, such as winning a race. Gems are not beneficial, but are required to achieve 100% completion of the game. There is a total of 45 gems in Warped.

Crash Bandicoot 2's gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessor, though a number of new elements which would go on to become staples of the series were also introduced. Instead of choosing stages from a 3D overview of the environment, as was the case in the original, players must utilise special Warp Rooms. Each of the five Warp Rooms contains five levels (which can be visited in any order), and the goal of each level is to obtain the pink, glowing crystal located within. Collection of all five crystals in a given Warp Room will activate the corresponding boss battle, and once the boss is defeated, Crash can travel to the next Warp Room.

Players make their way through a limited 3D environment and are confronted by numerous hazards (such as pits, spikes, TNT crates and hostile wildlife) intended to impede progress. Breakable crates are dotted around each stage and contain either wumpa fruit, an extra life, a checkpoint or a protective Aku Aku mask. If the player succeeds in collecting 100 wumpa fruit, an extra life is awarded. Breaking every crate in a level earns the player a gem. Special additional gems are sometimes available, usually in hard-to-reach locations, and are obtained simply by guiding Crash into them. If every gem in the game is collected, a secret ending is made available. A bonus level is also located in each stage, and can be attempted if Crash steps onto a platform or trap door marked with the '?' sign. Bonus levels are often more challenging than the environment in which they are situated, but they invariably offer substantial rewards upon completion.

The game has twenty-five normal levels, as well as two secret levels and six boss battles, the six bosses being the local tribe leader Papu Papu, the insane Ripper Roo, the muscle-bound Koala Kong, the gun-toting Pinstripe Potoroo, Doctor Nitrus Brio, and finally, Doctor Neo Cortex himself. The player must make their way through a limited environment whilst defeating enemies, avoiding pits and breaking crates, each of which contain some kind of bonus. Breaking all of a level's crates while not losing a life will reward the player with a gem.[4] The boss battles have the player avoiding the boss character's attacks, then attacking the boss when the boss is vulnerable. Crash's only forms of attack are jumping and spinning. The majority of enemies can be defeated by using the jump attack, but enemies that cannot be defeated by the jump attack must be defeated by using the spinning move. This move can also be used to hit enemies into other enemies or crates.[5] Also, in some levels, Crash will ride a hog, which he has limited control over. In levels such as these, the player must avoid obstacles such as enemies while continuously going forward at fast speed on the hog. Also, numerous levels have the player being chased by a boulder, in which players must run towards the screen while jumping over gaps.
