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.

Galerians
Galerians is a third-person adventure title spread across a huge three CD's. Similar to the ever-popular Resident Evil series, you get to take on the role of Rion, a fourteen-year-old boy who awakens in a scientific lab. He is very confused, and oblivious as to what is going on around him. He only knows that he has been given some kind of psychokinetic powers, and this is where Galerians begins. I...
Resident Evil Survivor
Another Resident Evil title, then. Well just before you think of clicking to another page, here's the deal. Survivor is a little bit different to the other titles in the series in that it's a 3D first-person shooter with no unnecessarily convoluted re-loading or usage of items and weapons. Less complicated and more of an arcade 'blast 'em away' experience is truly the best description, and althoug...
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
If ever a remake of a classic retro gaming franchise has progressed technologically so amazingly then it has to be this Pitfall title. But having said that, it has been a staggering 22 years since Activision's 'stick man in jungle' romp had the world glued to their Atari 2600 joysticks. Well, 22 years is a long time, especially in the world of video games, and a lot has happened in that time. Acti...
The Polar Express
While films based upon games rarely turn out to be anything more than a low-budget mediocre flick, games based upon films can be a different story altogether. And next up in the ongoing movie-cum-game line up is THQ's Polar Express, released the very same day as the film itself. Unlike its handheld counterpart, the console rendition of Polar Express is a fully 3D and much more convincing offering ...
Star Wars Battlefront II
The first Star Wars Battlefront followed a successful formula for LucasArts; of mimicking a popular videogame and adding Star Wars characters, storylines, locations and production values. Star Wars Galaxies was your standard MMORPG, but with the added, and not to be underestimated attraction that you could play as a Jedi, Bounty Hunter or Wookie. In the same way, Star Wars Battlefront was a popula...
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
Game after game, the Activision Pro Skater series has continued its evolution into something better, more fun and more challenging than anything that came before it. As ever, the same is true of instalment number four. Although making less of a leap over its predecessors than Pro Skater 3 did, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 delivers everything good about the series, gets rid of the so-so features, and a...
