Sunny
Garcia Surfing
http://sunnygarcia.ubi.com/
Developer: Krome Studios http://www.kromestudios.com/
Publisher: Ubi Soft Entertainment http://www.ubisoft.com
A real
change of pace from the other titles in this special but a great
game nonetheless.
As it’s name suggests, Sunny Garcia Surfing lets a player take
control of one of the world’s best surfers (if you don’t
like Sunny there’s seven to pick from, including a female surfer)
and thrash it out on the waves of 12 different surfing hot spots
around the world.
The
game plays very much like one of the popular snowboard or skateboard
games available, with players attempting to pull off signature moves
for points.
Coupled
with a brilliant sound track (if you like surf rock), this is a
game that really gets the blood going as you attempt bigger and
bigger moves and beautifully recreated waves and beaches.
Deus Ex

Developer: Ion Storm http://www.ionstorm.com
Distributor: GameNation http://gamenation.com.au/
Widely
proclaimed as the game of the year when it landed on PCs 18 months
ago, Deus Ex has also found a home within the console crowd.
Deus
Ex was one of the best examples of a thinking-person’s first-person
shooter to hit the gaming market, a title many still think it holds
despite recent developments.
The
port to a consoled format has gone extremely well and once again
players will have no difficulty in taking control of J.C. Denton
as he begins his rampage against terrorist organisations, world
conspiracies and anyone else who gets in his way.
Deus
Ex is a decidedly dark thriller that reminds a lot of Blade Runner
without the Sci-Fi elements. It is a riveting story that will quickly
entrap players and keep them going.
However,
it is quite difficult at times and frequent saves are the order
of the day for newer players
