The Sims Makin' Magic, Desktop Computer

When EA launched the original Sims game back in 2000, the series quickly established itself as one of the most popular god games in video game history. Expansion packs such as House Party, On Holiday and Livin' It Up reinforced that fact, but the series is now set to take a step away from reality as The Sims Makin' Magic gets its release for PC. As the title implies, god gamers can now throw caution to the wind and wield the power of magic in order to manage their newly created beings and even have a little fun of their own. By unlocking spells in the family book, wannabe gods can mix ingredients to concoct a variety of original spells. Spells can be used to maintain the house and cook meals, helping your Sims no end. But magic can be used for more mischievous means too. Players are also free to meddle with relationships, bring objects to life and even turn unlikeable neighbours into frogs. Just be careful your spell doesn't backfire. In addition to your new-found magic abilities, you'll also be able to take advantage of a fresh selection of environments, objects and characters. Magic Arenas and trick tables help players get the most out of their experiments, whilst all-new characters enable players to trade with Gypsy vendors and Faerie queens. Also, a selection of more that 150 new items gives players the creative freedom to tailor their game world with new decorator sets and wall, floor and roof designs. Makin' Magic is a great addition to the Sims universe and we're sure it won't be the last.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Covert Operations Essentials
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series of video games has proved to be a successful one across many platforms, although to date the most impressive release, at least visually, has been on PC. Joining the original Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear are these training and mission disks, known as Covert Ops Essentials, an expansion pack exclusive to the PC format.

Apocalyptica
Produced by Konami's brand new European development studio, Apocalyptica pits players in a dark and demonic world controlled by a malicious being aptly known as Neo Satan. With Neo Satan and his army of minions taking control of Earth, the Dark Lord's rule of the universe seems imminent.

Far Cry
It's highly likely that 2004 is going to go down in video game history as the year of the first-person shooter, thanks to the release of two of the most important such games of all time, Half-Life 2 and Doom III (should the former ever actually make it onto the shelves!). Well that statement can only be compounded by this latest Ubisoft release, as, well before the release of either games - and al...
Final Fantasy VIII
Like its predecessor, FFVII, Final Fantasy VIII is, at the time of release, the biggest game the world has ever seen, spanning across four CD's. The beautifully rendered introductions scenes form the perfect start to a vast and involving RPG. With so many variables and sub-plots, it is unlikely that one will ever play it all, even if they do reach the end. If Square continue to progress at this ra...
Armageddon Collection
Originally released in 1999, Team17's splendid Worms Armageddon was bundled together with a Worms screensaver and - joy of joys - Addiction Pinball, with the tenuous 'Armageddon Collection' link provided by the presence of a Worms-themed table. Now, Worms is good enough on its tod, but blimey, toss in the Yorkshire developer's genius pinball simulator too, and you have a bargain package...if you c...
