| | Coded Arms (psp: 2005): Reviews |
 | | Played in small chunks and enlivened by multiplayer, Coded Arms can offer a distractive appeal, but the imprecision of the PSP control scheme within the game's incongruous design will be enough to keep a demanding player away. | | | Coded Arms is such a weak rendition of a first-person-shooter, it makes us wonder whether such a thing is even possible on the single-analog PSP. | | | As the first FPS for PSP, Coded Arms is a decent try at it, though not one that's really going to rewrite the books on the genre. |

| | WORTHPLAYING - - All about games ! |
| | Of course, the presence of a story is only to appease those who feel every game should present some small motivation for the slaughter. | | | Coded Arms is a failure on all fronts; not a pointless release, but a clear letdown to those expecting a better FPS to take on the road after meeting with the disappointment that was the Metroid Hunters demo. | | | Coded Arms is a visually stunning first-person shooter that places the gamer in the role of a computer hacker who infiltrates an abandoned virtual reality system. |

| | Wild Arms 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although small ones are not generally useful after the beginning of the game, large gems can be quite helpful, due to the fact that you cannot buy healing items until the second disc. | | | Wild Arms 2 or Wild Arms: 2nd Ignition in Japan, is the second installation of the Wild Arms series and was released in 2000 on the Sony PlayStation in the US. | | | Gameplay in Wild Arms 2 is a bit of a departure from the RPGs of its time period. |

| | RPG Warehouse: Wild Arms 2 (PSX) |
| | As far as RPGs go, the first Wild ARMs offered a very solid experience and convinced many that the small team of developers called Contrail could create great games. | | | Both Brad and Ashley can use ARMs (the same as in the first game) which possess limited amount of ammunition and can be upgraded in repair shops. | | | Wild ARMs 2 (WA2), which came out in the spring of 2000, was a hotly anticipated game among RPG gamers, and while it did bring forth a handful of innovations over its predecessor, one single aspect of the game succeeded in devaluating much of the games appeal; the terrible script. |

| | Wild ARMs Tri-Stat D8 |
| | It is based off of the Wild ARMs games for Sony Playstation and Playstation 2 (and the anime to a very small extent). | | | Wild ARMs is a genre more than a setting. | | | For those not familiar with the series, Wild ARMs takes place on the world of Filgaia, an ecologically devastated world resembling the dust bowl of the old west. |

| | TotalGames.net - Wild Arms 3 |
| | The impressive anime introduction is held off until you’ve played through a small dungeon with each character and charted how they happen to meet up, just like in the previous Wild Arms games, and it works as well as ever. | | | In terms of gameplay structure, Wild Arms 3 is seeped in tradition. | | | Wild Arms 3 has always excelled in the area of presentation, with fantastic music compositions and visuals that, while not groundbreaking, are drawn with considerable flair and imagination. |

| | Brothers in Arms bia.gbxd Earned in Blood - Road to Hill: 30 - Brothers in Arms news, forums, screenshots, and videos |
| | Gritty, visceral and intense, Brothers in Arms: EIB has your squad play one small part in war’s theater. | | | In terms of presentation, technical gameplay, graphics, and audio, it’s nearly impossible to rise above Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood in any area, which makes me think that this franchise will be the one to watch in the next generation of consoles. | | | Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood for XBOX and PC are shipping in the US. |

| | GameSpy: Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 Review |
| | That's all about to change, however, with the release of Gearbox's Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, a title that puts you in control of several small squads and sends you into some of the war's pivotal battles. | | | Upon touching down, the game gave me some pointers on how to properly navigate the world around me. Although many other games give you a tutorial level, everything in Brothers in Arms felt organic and natural, since Matt was learning how to be a soldier right alongside me. | | | Brothers in Arms places you squarely in the combat boots of Sgt. Matt Baker, a member of the famed 101st Airborne Paratroopers Unit, one of the first squads on the ground during the D-Day invasion. |

| | Guide page: "A Call to Arms" |
| | Drazi sex organs are located under their left arms, and include an orifice that can be used to stash small items. | | | A Call to Arms isn't a Crusade pilot, it's a B5 movie that somewhat sets the stage for the new show, but is not a part of it. | | | It's very different than all the rest; I thought that River would be the better story of the last two, but Call is a better *movie*, oddly enough. |

| | Wild Arms 3 Review |
| | While not a game that you absolutely must play, Wild Arms 3 does manage to be a good bit of fun that also does what many RPGs can't or are unwilling to do: break away from traditional storylines and settings. | | | Like most RPGs, this one starts out small, turns out big: an encounter on a train brings a band of unlikely adventurers together, the rest is for you to find out. | | | Wild Arms 3 isn't exactly a must have RPG, but it's certainly a nice change from the usual entries the genre normally has thrust upon it. |

| | The Terror Trade Times 2001 - Proliferation: global growth in small arms - Amnesty International |
| | The global spread of small arms production facilities coupled with poor state controls on small arms in most countries is contributing to the massive proliferation and misuse of such weapons for human rights abuses. | | | Estimates of the number of companies producing small arms around the world vary greatly, mainly because of the scarcity of information and the differences in definitions of what constitute ''small arms''. | | | Between 1960 and 1999, the number of countries producing small arms doubled and there was an almost six-fold increase in the number of companies making these weapons. |

| | Small arms proliferation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Small arms proliferation is a term of art used by organizations advocating the restriction of small arms sales to people in conflict zones. | | | Unfortunately these small arms have survived many conflicts and many are now in the hands of arms dealers, which move them between conflict areas as needed. | | | The Small Arms Survey, an organization advocating the control of small arms (see external links) claims in their 2003 report that at least 1,134 companies in 98 countries worldwide are involved in some aspect of the production of small arms and/or ammunition. |

| | Australia is committed to working with regional partners and civil society to address the challenge of small arms proliferation in the Asia Pacific and has been active in promoting the aims of the UN Programme of Action in the region. | | | The destabilising accumulation, spread and misuse of small arms and light weapons contributes to the breakdown of law and order in many regions, including in the Asia Pacific, which, in turn, adversely affects the prospects for good governance, human rights and socio-economic development in many countries. | | | Australia’s national report on its implementation of the UN Programme of Action outlines all aspects of Australia’s small arms policy including national controls, the new handgun reform measures and the firearm trafficking agreement; export controls; transparency measures; regional initiatives and capacity building projects. |

| | In the small arms segment only Hirtenberger was located in what became Austria after WW I. The German invasion in 1938 and the ensuing militarisation and war, however, reinvigorated the Austrian arms industry and even created new ones like the Hermann-Göring Werke in Linz which became Voest after 1945. | | | That the small arms industry of today is less dependent on the tacit know-how of its workforce than thirty years ago has profound implications for the international proliferation of small arms. | | | In the endeavour to explain the present position of the small arms industry in Germany it is important to distinguish between the production of small arms designed for the use by the armed forces or the police and sport- and hunting weapons. |

| | Finally, popular misconceptions about the value of small arms and individual small arms marksmanship, brought about by recent anti-firearm propaganda campaigns, have also been to the detriment of marksmanship, even within the Armed Forces. | | | Each year, the Team conducts the Atlantic Fleet Rifle and Pistol Matches and Pacific Fleet Rifle and Pistol Matches, in which hundreds of sailors are trained in service rifle and service pistol marksmanship, small arms safety, and marksmanship competition rules and procedures. | | | In 1957, then-Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Arleigh "31 Knot" Burke, an ardent supporter of small arms proficiency, took steps to get the Navy's marksmanship training program back on course. |
