Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure, Sony Playstation

We've seen Disney skate-em-ups before in video games, but none are quite as special as this one. Why? Because this one is from Activision and makes use of developer Neversoft's accomplished Tony Hawk's Pro Skater engine. So, Tony Hawks with Disney characters in Disney worlds? Exactly. Following an action style Disney introduction, players begin their adventure by choosing a skater and an arena to skate in. In Extreme Skate Adventure, players have an unusual cast to choose from that include Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Tarzan, Simba and Rafeeki. There's even a variety of familiar Disney locales to skate in too. These include Pride Rock, Pizza Planet and Tarzan's Treehouse. It certainly is authentic, we'll give it that. But gameplay is the most crucial thing here, and thanks to the Tony Hawks Pro Skater engine, Extreme Skate Adventure shines. Through a series of directional taps and single or double button presses, players will be able to use walls, rails, ramps and air to perform an extensive variety of well-known skating tricks. Your aim is to score as much as possible by combining tricks and earning multipliers. It is theoretically possible to combine literally hundreds of tricks together, but that takes lots of time and practice. Alternatively, you can collect useful items, unlock hidden areas and solve puzzles. It's your choice. Other features include a Create-a-Skater option and a split-screen multi-player mode in which players can compete for the greatest scores. All in all it's a sound skateboarding game that's geared towards kids. Lots of fun.

Worms 3D
Videogames have to be 3D now, everyone knows that. In fact, way back at the dawn of 3D gaming, an interesting thing happened. Team17, Yorkshire's finest development studio, took a quirky game known as Worms down to Big, Scary London to show Sony. Sony looked at it, and rejected it outright. The reason? Worms was a 2D game. Sony was only green-lighting 3D games from third-parties at that time. Anyw...
