David Beckham Soccer, Sony Playstation

As World Cup fever is currently the national epidemic and with the ensuing excitement reaching pant-wetting proportions, everyone's favourite hunk, hero and all-round good guy David Beckham offers the general public the vicarious opportunity to be him in his very own video game. David Beckham Soccer is an extremely comprehensive football game, featuring hundreds of up-to-date teams and players, and a vast array of competitions and game modes. Classic England moments (when for a short period of time the whole nation actually thought our national team was any good) are in there for you to re-live, including the qualifying match against Greece and the formidable 5-1 thrashing of Germany. DBS offers a custom AI feature, which enables the player to manage each player's AI individually within the team, giving control over movement and formation. Coupled with the game's comprehensive Custom Editor, which allows for customisation of every aspect of the team and players, this presents quite a versatile play model. Being oh-so famous for those thunderous free kicks, no virtual tribute to the star would be complete without extensive possibilities to re-live the moments. Enter the Advanced Set-plays system, which allows the player to choose from several existing set pieces whilst standing over a free kick or corner. Featuring fluid, motion-captured animation and an intuitive control system, David Beckham Soccer looks set to sell well regardless of the endorsement and advertising budget. The inclusion of Becks exclusives, such as secret teams and a unique training mode set by the star himself, are certainly going to help matters further.

OK, so all you brain surgeons and rocket scientists have probably worked out what this Playstation title is all about, but for those of you still in the dark, it's a pinball game, and it's themed around international man of mystery, Austin Powers.

Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded
Hot on the heels of Jak II, the PlayStation 2's second platforming partnership is back for a sequel. Dubbed Locked and Loaded - possibly because the US name Going Commando was labelled too risqu for us up-tight Brits - Ratchet and Clank 2 sees the two unlikely heroes team up once again for another dose of sci-fi adventuring. As is often the case of late, the game is all-encompassing with regard to...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: BattleNexus
In the confused but strangely rich melting pot of culture generated by the transformation of the 80s into the 90s, many icons rose, and some fell, from the Simpsons to Howard the Duck. One such phenomenon were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, originally the anti-heroes of a rather dark comic book created by Peter A. Laird and Kevin B. Eastman. Abducted by popular children's culture, live action f...
Disney's Dinosaur
Disney's Dinosaur is a familiar tale in the style of 'stranger in a strange land' stories, released on PS2 in the UK in time to remind the cinema-going stragglers that the film of the game will soon be available for home viewing. Astute marketing or what? If you are already familiar with the feature film from which this game is a spin-off, then the chances are that you won't find the game too taxi...
