The waiting is over: New weaponry make the game unforgettable.

The waiting is over: New weaponry make the game unforgettable.

Heaven sent and great for kids

Quick pick
Outrun 2
XBox

The game:
The 80s driving classic is back 17 years after its original release.

  • Straight forward with minimal effort required.
  • This title pales in comparison with leading-edge driving games.
  • Up to four-players competition online is an added bonus of the XBox Live features.

The experience:
After 20 minutes driving solo you’ll be ejecting the game and putting in the action thriller to satisfy cutting edge gaming.

Halo 2
XBox/Live-Enabled

The game:
The most anticipated game in the world is here and its unrivalled carnage will make this game more successful than its predecessor.

Mass destruction and ruthless efficiency is encouraged, with new weapons and vehicles allowing players to enjoy the frenzied action.

The play:
A story of intergalactic conspiracy, religious hypocrisy, the clashing of ancient and modern technology and one super soldier – the Master Chief – is the only man who stands in the way of the total annihilation of the human race by a marauding alien race (Covenant).

Story line twists and turns will keep the hard core gamers enthralled and movie like graphics will entertain to the finish.

The kit:
Plenty of new weapons available including the use of Covenant weapons. Vehicles can be hi-jacked.

The terrain:
Asymmetrical maps take time to adjust and require intense concentration to remember where weapons are (especially when being chased).

The experience:

There are some very smart inclusions like being able to talk with your teammates anywhere in the map and to hear enemies within 15m.

Creating a clan allows for evolved combat on-line and the worldwide Halo 2 web, ranks individual players and clans.
