NEWLY RELEASED SONY PLAYSTATION GAMES
"MediEvil II"
by Sony Computer Entertainment
"MediEvil," starring the undead skeletal hero Sir Daniel Fortesque, took many players by surprise in 1998 with its zany humor and well-balanced gameplay. The bony knight returns in a sequel with plenty of fun gimmicks and the same solid play that made the series debut such a huge hit. Read more

"Vagrant Story"
by SquareSoft
Immersed in a medieval world, players take on the role of a knight who has been wrongly accused of murder and must flee into hiding to uncover the truth. The story is surprisingly deep for a video game, and clever gameplay touches, such as a unique weapons system that allows players to create custom armaments from various pieces of found weapons, add fresh innovations to this style of game. The cinematic sequences are as impressive as the movie-style gameplay, which boasts beautiful effects. Gamers looking for a story as intriguing as the action won't be disappointed.

"The Misadventures of Tron Bonne"
by Capcom USA
The sassy female rival of classic game hero Mega Man stars in an innovative game of her own. "The Misadventures of Tron Bonne" uses the 3-D engine of "Mega Man Legend" and sprinkles in elements of puzzle games, role-playing games, and of course, action games to produce one fun little hybrid. Join Tron and the Servbots as they circle the world in their airship, Gesellschaft, in search of adventure and priceless treasure.

"Wild Arms 2"
by Sony Computer Entertainment
The forces of evil are at work again, and it's up to a boy, a sorceress, and a rebel to turn the tide in "Wild Arms 2," Sony's latest role-playing game. Each character starts out alone and must fight bosses and enemies, as well as develop his or her own personal set of special moves. Aside from the traditional turn-based fighting, "Wild Arms 2" throws in a bit of action, and characters acquire weapons that they use to solve puzzles.

"Nightmare Creatures 2"
by Konami
This one's not for kiddies, nor the easily terrified. Wallace, an escaped test subject of the evil Doctor Crowley, is not pleased with his former boss. Seeking a vengeful form of worker's compensation for years of torturous lab experiments, Wallace needs players' help using his all-new fighting techniques and special spells to do away with the doc's world-domination plans and his team of hideous creatures. A giant game world, detailed character animations, plenty of baddie-battling weapons, and impressive graphics combine to offer gamers plenty of late-night playing sessions.

"Grind Session"
by Sony Computer Entertainment
Skateboarding games are on a roll, so to speak, so it's no surprise that "Grind Session" offers a new take on the extreme sport. What's the difference between this game and last year's smash hit, featuring skate pro Tony Hawk? Though the controls are nearly identical, "Grind Session" features an impressive number of new tricks and well-designed, large skating venues. Plenty of gameplay options for one to four players and a thrashing soundtrack--featuring Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Man or Astroman, NOFXv, and others--take the genre to a new extreme.

"Digimon World"
by Bandai
Hey, Pokemon fans--looking for a change of pace? Explore massive, adventurous realms with your own Digimon, or digital monster. You'll interact with hundreds of characters--both good and evil--during your quest, so you'll want to prepare your Digimon for nonstop battle action. By training and caring for your Digimon, you'll enable it to "digivolve" into an even more powerful creature that will lead you deeper into the digital fantasy of "Digimon World." This game features lifelike 3-D character animation, set against hand-drawn 2-D environments. The first 100,000 customers will receive a limited edition Digimon game card, which is compatible with the Digimon Digi-Battle card game (bonus game card is included only while supplies last).

"Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn"
by Activision
You're a lone NATO soldier sent in to take down a hijacked train. Two VIP passengers are riding these rails--a terrorist group's nuclear bomb, destined for the heart of Paris, and a kidnapped ambassador. Will you be able to save both the ambassador and Paris? Since the game has a number of possible endings based on your actions, there's no fast-forwarding through this edge-of-your-seat action-adventure to find out. You'll engage in hand-to-hand combat along several sections of the 19-car train, including the cars' icy roofs. Evading some high-tech traps, you'll search computers, desks, and--yes--the clothing of dead bodies for clues to the location of the terrorist stronghold. While you're searching for clues, be sure to pick up any of the assault rifles, grenade launchers, or other high-powered weaponry you come across--you'll need them for many of the tasks ahead, such as bringing down enemy helicopters.

"The Legend of Dragoon"
by Sony Computer Entertainment
If the early buzz proves accurate, Sony has a potential smash on its hands with "The Legend of Dragoon." This good ol' fantasy role-playing game boasts gorgeous graphics, innovative game design, and a strong character-driven story. The epic nature of this game is in the numbers: three years in the making, a 100-member development team, 40 minutes of cinematic graphics sequences, more than 650 prerendered backgrounds ... all combining for more than 80 hours of adventure that pushes the PlayStation to its limits.
