Celebrity Deathmatch, Sony Playstation

MTV is a channel known primarily for its music and music-related documentaries, but it also has a neat sideline in animated series. Witness the likes of Ren & Stimpy and Beavis & Butthead. With Celebrity Deathmatch among the latest and greatest shows on MTV, it comes as no surprise that the frenzied beat-em-up is bound for the PS2 console. A faithful representation of the animated equivalent, Celebrity Deathmatch allows players to take control of and even dismember as many as 15 of TV's most well known personalities. As a game, Celebrity Deathmatch is very much a simple, uncomplicated beat-em-up. Fighting your enemies in a variety of locations, players must, at a basic level, simply punch and kick their opponents to death. The ability to pick up and throw telephone booths with Mr T does make things more interesting and there is also a variety of wrestling moves available to inflict upon your opponents. Visually, the game world and its inhabitants also remain faithful to the TV original. The simple, plasticine-like characters remain intact for this virtual outing, and roam around a variety of sparse 3D environments. It's not the most astounding game to look at, but it gets the job done. Celebrity Deathmatch is a light-hearted experience, not to be taken seriously. All you have to do is to knock your enemy for six and have fun whilst doing it.

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
As popular as BMX riding may be in UK, it has been proven that the majority of the world's best riders are from the United States, where the sport is at its most popular. There are a large number of BMX games released in the States that haven't actually made it over to UK shores, let alone any other part of the world. Occasionally, however, a BMX title slips through, and when it does, it seems to ...

Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder
Funny how something so seemingly innocent as a video game can turn you into a shape-throwing, props-dealing, gnarly dude. Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder on the PS2 will tug at your overlong wallet chain 'til you give it maximum respec', man. Enough! What's the game like? Loud, in all senses of the word.
