MX Vs. ATV Unleashed, Electronic Games

THQ have nobly kept the tradition of motocross video games alive with their MX series of games, which have boasted such realistic features as gears with a clutch(!) as well as rather convincing rider and bike physics. Now the series widens its scope, with the release of a game featuring motocross bike and all-terrain quads going head to head. After last year's MX Unleashed, the only possible title for this new version would have to be MX Vs. ATV Unleashed. THQ is clearly very enthusiastic about motocross, which is both a sport and a sort of mechanised martial art. In fact, they are the sponsors of the 2005 World Supercross GP, the world's premier off-road bike competition. This passion has resulted in a rich and varied racing experience. As well as featuring numerous real-life bike and ATV riders, you can also get behind the wheel, handlebars, or even stick, of golf karts, dune buggies, Monster Trucks, airplanes, helicopters and Baja trucks. The 'Off Road Playground' gives you access to a plethora of events - straight races like supermoto, supercross, and hill climbs, as well as trick-based events such as freestyle and gap jump. There's more besides. You can try out the other vehicles in the game in the machine races and Monster Mash events. All this, and you can take it online and challenge people around the world as well - it's time to get your helmet out and get dirty!

Final Fight One
It's nice to see classic arcade games getting a re-release on the Game Boy Advance. Capcom's latest offering is Final Fight One, the scrolling beat-em-up responsible for many a misspent youth.

Mega Man Battle Network 5 - Team Protonman
The Mega Man Battle Network series has been around since 2001 on GBA, and gives a twist to one of Capcom's best-known characters.

Mega Man.EXE is coded by Lan, a young computer whizz who us...
Fantastic Four
Created in 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Fantastic Four was the comic that really made a name for Marvel Comics, before Spider-man, the Hulk or the X-Men even existed. Developed in response to DC's Justice League, it told the story of four astronauts who were exposed to enormous levels of radiation during the early part of a space voyage. You might expect such a mishap to cause the unlucky ...
Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood
Paradox's 2003 release of Backyard Wrestling proved that there was more to be accomplished in wrestling games than laying opponents to rest in the ring, taking the brutal sport outdoors in an unconventional effort that saw would-be pros using any number of props to take out the enemy in what turned out to be a rather adult piece of entertainment. A year on, a bigger and better Backyard sequel has ...
