The finest gunplay action seen on the Playstation since the original.

Hostile Waters is not only a superb PC game it's actually one of the very best games I've ever played.

It's kind of brilliant - but it's also a bit of an underachiever, considering what could have been.

It's not the all-encompassing experience of godly power that was suggested. You have to play it in a fairly rigid and organised fashion.

Everything you could hope for in a Quake game is present and correct, with two glaring exceptions - mouse/keyboard control, and on-line play.

This is definitely a game for baseball fans.

Witty, knowing, referential, and above all supremely playable, Conker is an absolute corker.

McRae Rally 2.0 oozes quality and demands to be played again and again.

Yeah, as far as games of the genre go, this is excellent.

There are more than enough game variants here to keep you happy, playable in a convoy of fully customisable off-road vehicles and across some really detailed and expansive terrain. Check it out, it's the ultimate backseat drive.

Unlike many of today's action-girl heroes Konoko isn't all about big boobs and tight butt-cheeks. In contrast to a certain someone she spends the game firmly ensconced in kevlar body armour and combat fatigues.

One billion points for single handily dragging online RPGs out of a mire of orcs, beards and dreadful graphics. It's repetitive and shallow (kind of) but it's also amazingly beautiful, addictive and - believe it or not - socially rewarding and instructive!

Rock solid, all-action gameplay but misses out on a higher mark due to a few noticeable flaws.

What MSR fails to do is generate any real adrenalin rush.

Like the Soup Nazi from "Seinfeld" - it demands perfection from itself, so how can it expect any less from it's customers? Tough, but rewardingly so.

AI flaws and a manual that takes rather a lot for granted make getting started a bit tedious, but when you do it's a great simulation that offers a whole lot more than the standard flight sim and a massive challenge to boot.

A bold breath of fresh air. It delivers an unrivalled single player experience and providing you have the hardware, delivers a stunningly realised world to explore. The only weak point is the combat system.

A technically devastating graphics engine, the funniest script in computer games history, and a soupcon of strategy, together with imaginative and variety packed action.

If I had to choose my favourite (realistic) racing game, a couple of weeks ago I would have said Colin McRae but now it's most definitely the sequel.

I really, really enjoyed Gunman Chronicles, but the game is not without its weaknesses - though the graphics can be excellent, there are also some very amateurish textures present, as well as glitches that really should have been worked on.

The custom options are outstanding and there's tons of hidden stuff to find. The only real drawback are the painfully long loading times.

Occasionally there is a bit of slowdown, but this is a perfectly fair price to pay for the huge wide-open levels and often stunning scenery and architecture.

Same old gameplay which wrestling fans will lap up. There are enough new features in here to justify purchasing WWF No Mercy even if you already have "Wrestlemania 2000."

The twists and turns of the plot are brought to life on screen in a way that leaves you itching to find out what's round the next corner.

Graphically the game is excellent, with crisp, clean characters and some very detailed textures.

Within the game, you have access to a variety of weaponry such as generic pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles and the Bond style briefcase rocket launcher. Oh yes.

As something of a year round Grinch myself, I enjoyed this game immensely, and its simple but entertaining action will satisfy both the younger player as well as more learned men (and women) of the world like you or I.

It combines the best of team based gaming with an authentic and therefore exciting approach to tactical ops.
