PANZER DRAGOON ORTA

X Box Pal | 2003

One of the best games of all time gets a highly anticipated update after an absence of nearly 5 years.

Following on a long time after the previous Panzer Dragoon titles, you follow the story Orta, a young girl imprisoned from birth for a reason unknown to her. One day she is rescued from her incarceration by an armored dragon during a battle with The Empire.

The is a natural generation above the originals with morphing dragons, power ups, a whopping 10 episodes a good challenge overall and plenty of unlock able extras such as extra missions and scenarios including a port of the original classic Panzer Dragoon off the Saturn.

The name Orta means rebirth so hopefully this is a hint of a few new games for the series.

SONIC ADVANCE 2

Gameboy Advance 2003

After Sonic Advance became a hit on the Game Boy Advance it was only a logical that Sega would create another. A year later Sonic Advance 2 is released and builds upon the original. Whilst the game engine is still roughly the same the speed of the game (especially in Sonics case) is cranked up and slightly improved graphics.

The game introduces a new character of Cream the rabbit to the cast of characters in addition to the playable characters of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy.

As usual Dr Robotnik has an evil plan for which it is up to Sonic and team to stop it dead.
