1. Wild Arms
   The other part of Wild Arms 4 are nifty little platform-action sections that occur between battles. Where normally in a role playing game you're wandering around the countryside, looking for your next dungeon or village, Wild Arms 4 gives you a little more mobility. Of course you do have a few challenges to face with this new power, but you can jump, slide, slow time, pick up and use weapons and items. You use these powers in dungeons to explore the area finding treasures, getting past traps and chasms, even slowing time to get across a rickety bridge. Some times it's just a simple matter of moving a box, or stomping on a switch. Other times, you have to set off a bomb, hit the time accelerator, and quickly hop up a collapsing staircase.
2. Wild Arms -- Series
   As a Sony franchise, all Wild Arms video games appear exclusively on PlayStation video game consoles. While each individual title is set in worlds completely independent of one another, they contain several consistencies that have become series mainstays, including similar races, monsters, technologies, and plot points. Though variations and stylistic differences persist in the overall presentation of each game, all titles can be considered "Weird Westerns", combining attributes from traditional fantasy, science fiction, and steam punk story mediums.
3. Wild Arms -- Games
   Beginning with Wild Arms 2 in 1999, official adaptations of each Wild Arms game were produced by such manga companies as DNA Media, Enix, Bros. Comics, GanGan Wing, and 4Kings for release exclusively in Japan. Each work follows the plot of each game it is based on, with minor interpretations to the original script and characters.[30]
4. Virtua Racing
   What made Virtua Racing so special in the Arcade was its seamless, flat-shaded polygon graphics and addictive gameplay. This has all been ported over to the 32X without a hitch -- the visuals are fast, detailed and ripe with effects like smoke and tire tracks. The steering wheel has been replaced with a control pad making handling a bit tricky, but liberal application of the brake will ensure victory. The sensation of speed is outstanding, especially from the cockpit view (where you can even see your driver's hands on the steering wheel). Aside from Arcade and Time Attack modes, you can ... race against a buddy split-screen style. Despite reduced polygon counts on the environments, this mode is still quite playable.
5. Atalanta -- Race
   Atalanta just sighed that such a good-looking man would have to die, but wasn't THAT interested in marriage. Besides, she like winning too much to throw the race. Hippomenes threw one last prayer to Aphrodite and walked to the starting line. The race began. Hippomenes got out to a good start, he was an excellent runner himself, but soon Atalanta sped ahead of him. Quickly he threw out the first of his Golden apples slightly ahead of Atalanta and slightly off the track.
6. Ryan Briscoe -- Races
   Curt's note: Penske Racing officials said late Saturday night that Ryan Briscoe has signed the contract to replace Sam Hornish Jr. in the No. 6 Indy car. The official announcement is due Tuesday.
7. Full Auto -- Races
   Full Auto combines fully-automatic, weapon-equipped vehicles with highly detailed and interactive urban environments. In the near future, the city of Staunton is held hostage by a mysterious group known only as The Shepherds. As a retired driver, you are coerced by the Shepherds into a series of lethal street races, where the cost is of competing is far greater than anyone ever expected. No pre-calculated or canned animations. Players will never see the same wreck twice!
8. Dakar Rally -- Races
   The Dakar Rally is the most demanding and dangerous race on the planet! From million Dollar factory and corporate sponsered machines to low budget privateers that compete for a trophy unlike any other to be earned with sweat, tears and oftentimes; blood! Facing off and challenging not only eachothers, but ... the desolate Sahara, arms bandits and Beddwins.
9. Ron Hornaday -- Races
   Ron Hornaday has accomplished a lot in his NASCAR career. From his humble beginnings on the West Coast, to the glory of twice sitting at the head table as NASCAR Truck Series Champion, Hornaday has climbed the racing ladder of success. But more importantly, he has never lost touch of who he is or where he came from.
10. Dan Wheldon -- Races
    Dan Wheldon was in his element. Addicted to life in a sport where every second matters, the effervescent Indy Racing League champion-to-be was making quick paces through the gloomy belly of Tropicana Field in September.
