Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force, Electronic Games

Where LucasArts' latest console offerings drive the Star Wars franchise into new territory with improved graphics, gameplay and online services, the company's newest GBA game, Apprentice of the Force, revisits the old-school scrolling gameplay of the 90s SNES classic. Like Star Wars Battlefront, Apprentice of the Force takes players into the virtual Star Wars universe to relive some of the most exciting and memorable scenes from the legendary trilogy. In this instalment of the long-running series, players take on the role of Luke Skywalker as he strives for Jedi supremacy in order to defeat the sadistic Emperor Palpatine. The single player adventure, complete with platforming, driving, shooting and even co-operative gameplay, spans some 19 mission objectives. Via a simple play mechanic, players can negotiate enemy bases and even confront Darth Vader himself by means of projectile weapons and fancy light-sabers. And on occasion you can also enlist the help of R2D2 or execute a few devastating Jedi super-powers. The game itself is very straightforward from a design point-of-view, but the whole experience is made much more satisfying because of some authentic Star Wars elements. The game includes bonus material from the trilogy, the original theme music by John Williams and familiar sound effects taken directly from the films. Apprentice of the Force is a great game for those on the move, and offers some top gaming moments amid the Star Wars nostalgia.

Videogame skateboarding didn't really exist until the arrival of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on the PlayStation. Atari's cult classic 720 was a massive hit in the arcades, despite its ridiculous rollerball controls, but after that, there was a decided lull, probably owing to the slump in interest in the art that is skateboarding. Then NeverSoft released Tony Hawk. And everything changed. Suddenly, casu...

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Ang Lee's Hulk film lent a more thoughtful air to the recent flurry of Marvel Comics movie adaptations. The franchise could easily have become a rambunctious, SFX heavy romp, but the director chose a more psychological angle, probing the darkest recesses on Dr. Bruce Banner's mind for much of the film. And so it was with the film's inevitable accompanying videogame. Sneaking around as Banner, the ...
