Dog's Life (2003)
Genres:Adventure
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player
Story:In Dog's Life you play Jake the puppy, as he explores the USA in an attempt to foil a fiendish plot. Miss Peaches doesn't like dogs, and sees them as a way of making money, by dog-napping Daisy the pedigree dog.
The dog elements are closely integrated into the game - smells are indicated by lines of coloured smoke, emphasising a dog's acute sense of smell. Locating footprints is also done via this Smellovision mode. Tricks can be learnt, and used to win treats from humans.
Jake must explore vast environments and interact with 15 breeds of dog. The aim is to get them onto his side, which is usually done by either having more bones than them, or winning a subgame against them. These are also dog-based - in one you must dig up bones, while another has you 'marking territory' to annex a full screen.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.81
Well, what can I say? A game that already risks being lost today, born, conceived, and played across generations of consoles. Such a masterpiece, carrying with it perhaps the best years of our lives—memories of lighthearted, joyful, and carefree days. The only one capable of reviving it today seems to be GOG. They’ve already allowed me, like many nostalgic gamers, to dive back into memories with masterpieces such as the *Resident Evil* trilogy and *Dino Crisis 1* and *2*. These games let us unplug for a moment and return to being children, even if just for a little while.
I trust in the GOG team for the preservation and relaunch of this and other games we deeply miss today. After all, GOG is also about this: a store that delivers emotions through classic, timeless games that are still incredibly enjoyable to play, just as they were originally envisioned and created.
The wackiest high-budget game I ever touched on the PS2 console. Sponsored by Pedigree (I'm assuming, because of all the Pedigree shops etc planted in the game world), and really lets you play through the game like a dog would. In the most obscene ways, occasionally.
Honestly, shockingly good. The soundtrack is 10/10, the gameplay is definitely fun and unique, even today, and the sheer amount of unique levels to explore is impressive. The amount of NPC's just walking around and being interactable with (begging for treats, OR disturbing the NPCs) in the world was new and fun and exciting at the time, and made the world feel rich and full.
This is a game I have broken as a child (rest in peace, scratched disc) and replaced years later for too much money on Ebay because I had to get my hands on it again. It's a personal classic and my PS2 game collection wouldn't be complete without it.
It's a game you can play from start to finish in one day. Short and... well, I don't know if I'd call it sweet, it gets a tad obscene at times, but man, this game is great. The main thing I remember, is the soundtrack and the wonderful vibe of exploration.
Also: Each of the 3 game world areas had its own radio station, complete with in-game character interviews and in-game ads. My biggest laughs with the game were while playing with my sister, listening to these radio stations in a house in the game, or in the kitchen of a café. I am still amazed by how much effort and thought went into this game.
I played the game with the Finnish dub, and if this game ever gets restored I would love to see all in-game language variations available. I can't speak for languages other than Finnish, but the voice actors went ALL OUT with this one and it was both beautiful and hilarious. The characters may not have facial expressions but their vibes and moods were made clear with the voice acting.

DmC: Devil May CryDmC: Devil May Cry is the fifth game in the hack-and-slash third-person action series and the first not largely developed by Capcom. This title is a reimagining of the series, with the same protagonist Dante, but set in an alternate universe. The Dante in this game is very different from before, doing away with the trademark white hair and altering the main character as well as the game's tone with a much more Western influence. The gameplay is still largely identical as Dante engages many opponents with a fast fighting style, stringing together combos and hits in quick succession.Action Fantasy
