Story:Hitting store shelves in a springtime when hundreds of thousands of Hideo Kojima fans were anxiously awaiting the projected summer release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 3, this PlayStation 2 compilation is presented as an opportunity to catch up on back story, as well as to play (or re-play) through three of the earlier PlayStation consoles' most highly acclaimed stealth games. Included are a PlayStation 2 port of the original PlayStation version of Metal Gear Solid -- the game that some say defined the stealth genre -- and the "Directors Cut" editions of its two PS2 sequels, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.Show more

Apidya
ApidyaRevenge is sweet when it's the life of your lover at stake... After the vile sorcerer, Hexaa, had tortured your beloved partner to near death, you awake the magic of your grandfather's talisman to summon the forces of light to help you defeat the sorcerer and find a life-saving antidote. You are Ikuro and you are the only one who can commit the necessary deeds- live off your wits, live off your instincts but, most of all, live off your sacred love for Yuri. As the ancient talisman transforms you into a beautiful bee, such beauty is darkened by the burning passion to hurt, maim and destroy Hexaa and his evil army of insects and wildlife. Your insect bite is deadly...but are you? Apidya features superb horizontally scrolling shoot'em-up action. Gameplay over 5 fantastic worlds. Incredibly large end of level guardians. Power-up with missiles, bombs, automated clones... the list is almost endless. Simultaneous two player action! Apidya- a genuinely mind-blowing experience!

The Touch Screen may be used for special attacks never before seen in the Tales series, allowing lots more variety in battle. The big feature of this game is the ability for certain characters to transform into werewolves, gaining extra power and speed at the cost of techniques.
