War Of The Monsters PS2 | PS4/PS5 [REVIEW] | Destroy All Copyrights

The PS2 era turns out was indeed a golden age for kaiju and monster games in general, as not only we had Atari hit gold with the Pipeworks trilogy of Godzilla games, Rampage was back with Rampage Total Destruction, but we also had a PS2 exclusive 3D brawler, War Of The Monsters.

Which i sadly don’t own anymore (i remember owning it at some point), and for convenience sake i’ll use the PS4 and PS5 upscaled rerelease Sony made available, played on PS5.

No better time now that the Destroy All Monsters Melee Remaster drops, indeed.

As weird as it seems, yes, back in the day Sony took on itself to publish a 3D arena fighter about giant monsters, aliens and 50s robots, developed by Incognito Entertaiment, which Sony absorbed as a first party studio, previously did Twisted Metal Black and would later work on some of the last titles of that series, including the PSP entry, Head On.

Most likely even if you didn’t had the game, you would still have played it on a demo disc, because yes, once upon a time there were print magazines about gaming that would include a DVD containing both trailer and playable demos of upcoming demos.

Or straight up kiosks where you could play demo versions of upcoming games, i’m so old i remember doing so for the original Luigi’s Mansion.

Gamera The Complete Collection UK BLURAY [REVIEW] | Absolute Pristine Turtle Meat, Really Neat

Gamera The Complete Collection UK complete set

Arrow Video keeps being a shining beacon of light in a world where companies are planning to stop making physical media all together, so they can hold properties hostage on another streaming service with no guarantee film and series will always be there, or there in a matter of months, for that matter.

This time they bring us a collection that will make kaiju fans furiously ejaculate, and for good reason, as there wasn’t any complete collection of the beloved Gamera series, there were some boxsets for the North American market, but nothing complete, and here in Europe TM we got it far worse, Italy especially, as they brought only 5 five of the Showa Era, often calling Gamera “The Great King” and retitling the movies to imply it’s Godzilla or King Kong, with craptacular marquee artworks to boot.

But now it’s all good again, as this boxset (which i preordered as soon as i saw it) is shipping worlwide, and it’s all english… but it’s also a limited release, so i’m just gonna say this to interested fans: stop reading, and get it RIGHT NOW, this is pricey and there aren’t gonna be that many copies around, so just go. Definitely worth the price, it’s not cheap, at all, but it’s worth every single cent.
