And1 Streetball, Sony Playstation

Last seen on a virtual basketball court in 2002 with the Activision-published Street Hoops, Black Ops is back on the tarmac with And1 Streetball, brought to us this time around by Ubisoft. Some of the finer points of basketball weren't relevant to Street Hoops and - surprise, surprise! - And1 Streetball is a game in very much the same vein: impenetrable lingo, intrusive music, and physically improbable tricks and shots a go-go, despite the insistence that the game 'keeps it real'. Anyway, And1 Streetball is an amusing enough diversion for fans of the rim and onion bag. There's a Story mode in which you go on the And1 Mix Tape Tour - the world's premier streetball event, apparently - where your originality and ability to wow the crowds may help get your name mentioned in the same breath as true streetball legends such as The Professor and Hot Sauce (last year's Belgian Eurovision entry, we seem to recall...). Only joking! Being able to create your own player and your own signature moves is a neat touch, and customisation of games is welcome too. Half or full-court games are available, and you can choose anything from a one-on-one to a five vs. five battle on the tarmac. There's nothing like a little musical accompaniment while having some baggy-shorted herberts running rings around each other, and - joy of joys - And1 Streetball gets its DJ Kicks from almost all points of the compass: the eclectic mix of exclusive/unreleased hip-hop tracks represents various styles - West Coast, East Coast, and the Dirty South Crunk, each court coming with its own sound and flavour.

Monster Racer
Although games like Gran Turismo and Colin McRae Rally are arguably the greatest games in the racing genre, there are a lot of people that would consider a light-hearted and simple game to be a better deal. Games like Mario Kart have proved this point over and over. Following suit, Monster Racer is a game designed best for multi-player action and even boasts an engrossing single player adventure m...

X-Men: Next Dimension
With the second X-Men film on the horizon, it seems like a good time for Activision to release a beat-em-up based on the popular Marvel characters. Especially considering that just about enough time has passed to allow us to forget that the first film was not actually very good in the first place. X-Men: Next Dimension plunges players into the midst of a powerful enemy's plot to rid the world of m...
