Not to confused with Rampage, Godzilla and King of the Monsters series. War of the Monsters is quite similar to those. It's more of a tribute of the 50s giant monster movies. I previously had this on PS2 a long time ago. I also loved the surprise character cameo skin. Mecha Sweet Tooth that originally required a save from Twisted Metal: Black. You also could view parts of this as a precursor to Destroy All Humans! series. This was a surprisingly a decent 3D fighting game. King of the Monsters series already on GOG would help this sell to a degree. I would love to play this game again in the near future.
This was an incredibly fun and wacky beat-em-up monster fighting game, that is widely acknowledged as being a sleeper hit for the PS2. Let's bring it back so newer generations can experience the fun!
Such a nostalgic PS2 game, I still have the physical copy. Both the main campaign and multiplayer were super fun, and it was rewarding unlocking the different monster skins. Combat was good, and it was really fun seeing the maps get destroyed as you fought. Interesting monster designs too. I would love to be able to play this again.
I truly believe this is the greatest kaiju game that has ever been made. The amount of destruction you can cause to the environment is unbelievable for a PS2 game. There are city levels that you can, well, level! An arena filled with buildings and skyscrapers can turn to rubble and destruction throughout the course of a fight. My absolute favorite thing to do was an unlimited time/deaths battle against 3 AI monsters and destroy everything - just throwing monsters through buildings and impaling them with rubble for hours!

Dark EarthDark Earth is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game for the PC.
Dark Earth takes place several centuries in the future, when a meteor collision with Earth tossed up great clouds of dust that blocked out the sun. Earth's remaining survivors began to seek refuge beneath small openings in the clouds, the few places light could be found. Those that remained in the 'dark earth' were hunted by strange creatures, infected with the darkness.
To shelter themselves from the dangerous 'dark earth', the people began to form cities beneath the light called 'Stallites'. At the time of the game, most of the citizens of the stallite have forgotten their history and now worship the light as a god. The stalites are run by 'Sun Priests', who maintain order and prevent the creatures of darkness from harming the city. The game follows the story of Arkhan, a "guardian of fire", protector of the stallite 'Sparta' and the Sun Priests.
After an attack on the sun priests, Arkhan has a poison thrown into his face that begins to infect him with the dark sickness. He begins to mutate into a creature of the dark and has to find a cure before his transformation is complete. Along the way, he is treated as an enemy by most of his former friends while he struggles to uncover the conspiracy behind the attack.Action Fantasy Historical Science fiction
Bikini Karate BabesBikini Karate Babes combines the basics of a fighting game with realistic real-life video. Players can choose from various (all-female) fighters, with several secret characters incorporated. Play modes include your average 'arcade' mode, but modes like 'spectacle' (watch the CPU do all the work), 'practice' (senselessly beating a passive opponent) and 'marathon' are also included. As a bonus, the game features some 'Sweet Stuff', which acts like a jukebox/gallery sort of section, in which themes and movies can be replayed.Action Erotic
Shadow WarriorShadow Warrior is a first-person shooter video game developed by 3D Realms and released on May 13, 1997 by GT Interactive. Shadow Warrior was developed using Ken Silverman's Build engine and improved on 3D Realms' previous Build engine game, Duke Nukem 3D. Mark Adams ported Shadow Warrior to Mac OS in August 1997.
The game's improvements included introduction of true room-over-room situations, the use of 3D voxels instead of 2D sprites for weapons and usable inventory items, transparent water, climbable ladders, and assorted vehicles to drive (some armed with weapons). Although ultra-violent, the game emphasized tongue-in-cheek humor and contained some sexual themes (although less blatantly than in Duke Nukem 3D). A combination of Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior was published by GT Interactive in March 1998, titled East Meets West.Action Comedy Science fiction
