Centre Court: Hard Hitter, Sony Playstation

Midas' Centre Court: Hard Hitter is the first tennis game to emerge on PlayStation 2, and we can say only this. Why have we had to wait so long? We'll have to wait a little bit longer for the likes of Actua Tennis or Virtua Tennis on the platform, so Hard Hitter will no doubt go down well with PS2-owning tennis fans, starved until now, of their fave rave. Lacking an official license of any kind, the world of Hard Hitter is very much a fictional one. Players can take control of any of eight female and male characters, all of whom have their own strengths and weaknesses, of course. Hard Hitter contains the usual range of playing surfaces - Hard court, Grass, Clay and Indoor. There are also a wide range of moves to perform to help you in your quest for victory, including lobs, smashes, slices and volleys, helping to make Hard Hitter at least a technically accurate game. Hard Hitter is also extremely customisable. Players are free to create their own professional players, who can grow and become more talented with practice. This is done through a system where characters gain experience and improve their skills by competing in a series of tournaments. There are skill levels to suit any characters, so you needn't worry about being stuck with a 'beginner' tag next to your name. Players can enjoy a frantic multi-player experience though the use of a multi-tap in a fantastic four-player mode of doubles or singles tennis. With a simple control system, training modes, and some tough computer opponents, Hard Hitter is indeed a game that's easy to learn, but difficult to master.

Final Fantasy VII
Squaresoft have sold a gazillion of the Final Fantasy series games, previously on NES and SNES platforms. Their decision to move to the Playstation platform was a major coup for Sony, but when you play this game, it is clear that it was prompted as much by Nintendo's failure to choose the CD format for the N-64 as with how impressive the Playstation is as a platform. Final Fantasy 7 is simply vast...

Rugby 2004
Rugby has always struggled to make its presence felt in video games, despite releases featuring the game's most popular players. Electronic Arts is one of the few developers that has taken the time and effort to produce a series of respectable Rugby titles. If any of you already own a rugby game, it's most likely one of EA's, and following in tradition with the company's sports updates, players ca...
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Published by EA, Harry Potter: The Philosopher's Stone has made it onto the PlayStation.

Headhunter
The future is here and it's a dangerous place - especially when you don't know who you are, who wants you dead, and why. Gang warfare and soaring crime have led to repression under a near-fascist regime. Strict censorship controls the media, and new laws measure everything and everyone by their value to the state. Wrongdoers face 'chipping' with experimental implants and compulsory organ donation,...
