Mr Bean (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer 09

This will come as a surprise to our regular viewers, but the *Mr Bean* game on PS2, released by Blast Entertainment, isn’t that bad. I know, I was surprised too. Based on the animated Mr Bean TV series, you must save Teddy who has been kidnapped. Working your way through a number of garden-themed platforming …

Post-Wrestlemania Hangover

By The Fallen Angel Well it is that time of year again when as a wrestling fan you have to look forward into the dark abyss (certainly no wrestling pun intended) of the early summer low point in wrestling and question your allegiance to the puppet master Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Yes just one week ago …

Knight Rider 2 (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 08

So Michael Knight and KITT are back in Knight Rider: The Game 2 (or Knight Rider 2 to keep things simple) for another, quite possibly unwanted sequel. Reprising much of the story from Davilex’s first game, you must work your way through a story and, indeed, a game, that have had almost no effort put into …

Smarties Meltdown (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 07

In a change from our usual focus, this week’s game is one that, surprisingly, isn’t too bad. You are Blue, a blue Smartie who is given a power suit and the job of rescuing all the other Smarties that have been kidnapped by the evil Dr Sour Sweet. Your power suit lets you collect a …

Knight Rider (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 06

Knight Rider was a smash hit in the 1980s. This game came out in 2006. Before the 2008 reboot, but admittedly following several rather poor attempts at relaunching the franchise in the 90s. Looking back, what was it with the PS2 and the many, many developers that bought up the licences for well known properties? …

Charlotte’s Web (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 05

If previous knowledge and experience is anything to go by, Charlotte’s Web was probably thrown together in a 6-8 week window for a very small amount of money. And it shows. You play as Wilbur (the pig), Charlotte (the spider) and Templeton (the rat) across 19 mini games set on the Zuckerman Farm. Wilbur is …

Let’s Make A Soccer Team! (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 04

Somewhere along the way, Football Manager got it right. Finely balancing what is, essentially, a number of spreadsheets, and making them entertaining. At the same time, Let’s Make A Soccer Team resolutely fails in its effort to convert the beautiful game to the RPG sphere. Your role is to act as club chairman. This explains …

Dr Dolittle (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 03

Want another game by Blast! Entertainment? Then you are clearly a glutton for punishment. On looking at the cover this 2006 PS2 release looks to be a tie in to the Eddie Murphy film where he stars as Dr Dolittle, that chap who can talk to animals and cure their suspiciously human ailments. . But …

Little Britain (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 02

Let us summarise the Little Britain video game for you. It’s genuinely bad, one barely worthy of the world of video games. Seven mini games and some arbitrary challenges just to give you something to do. That’s because those seven mini games can take about half an hour to work through once you get used …
