--------------------------------------------------------
THE PS2 --------------------------------------------------------' THEIR CHOICE: GOD OF WAR ($49.99)  Similar to franchises like Devil May Cry, Rygar, and Castlevania, the game draws its inspiration from ancient Greek mythology and boasts a heavy emphasis on exploration and battle strategy. Broken into three to four acts, the game also has a strong focus on story-telling and boast tons of magic spells and abilities. Described as "Clash of the Titans meets Heavy Metal", God of War equips its hero with a pair of sword-like chain weapons that can grab enemies, perform multi-hit combos, and pull off a variety of different aerial attacks. OUR CHOICE: A Guide To Ancient Greek Drama ($34.95)  BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! THEIR CHOICE: SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS ($39.99)  Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's team behind the critically acclaimed ICO. Players take the role of a young man seeking the truth of an ancient tale of power hidden in a mystical land. Shadow of the Colossus is a majestic journey through ancient lands to seek out and destroy gigantic mythical beasts. OUR CHOICE: BIG ($9.99)  Because nothing would piss off that significant other more than you buying them a Tom Hanks movie. -------------------------------------------------------- THE GAMECUBE -------------------------------------------------------- THEIR CHOICE: RESIDENT EVIL 4 ($39.99)  The title takes place in 2004 some six years after the events that transpired in Resident Evil 2. The government has destroyed the Umbrella Corporation, which has been behind just about every plot and disgusting bio-chemical mutation in the survival horror series. Now-US agent Leon Kennedy (of Resident Evil 2 fame) has been dispatched to Europe to save the President's daughter from "crazed organizations." OUR CHOICE:"ZOMBIES!!!" ($24.99)  A board game about zombies. The dude on the front has a chainsaw, so it looks kinda like the Resident Evil packaging. Plus, it's about zombies. Yeah. There's shotguns in it. But it's a board game. Still cheaper than Resident Evil 4, though. THEIR CHOICE: TONY HAWK'S AMERICAN WASTELAND ($49.99)  For the first time ever, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland gives players the freedom to experience continuous skating and BMX biking action without leaving the game or waiting for load times as they explore and choose missions in a massive, living Los Angeles skate world. OUR CHOICE: NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 20 ($13.99)  For that trendwhore in the family.
