Online reviews

It must be nearly Christmas. After last week's double header, Online has four reviews this week. First up is Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, the sequel to the remake of the classic platform game of yore...

Mike Anderiesz was impressed, remarking how the game, "takes on Hollywood and occasionally wins". For those with bad memories of interactive movies, Mike assures us the game is a good 'un, especially, "when slicing a zombie in half with a scimitar".

Next up is the game I reviewed - Ratchet & Clank 3. This cartoon classic is one of the most amusing games I've played this year. Back on more traditional gaming territory is Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone. This role-playing game may descend into bearded button-bashing cliché, but Rhianna Pratchett was still positive. "Demon Stone is easy to pick up and play, with rich environments and an engaging storyline." she said, not entirely convincingly.

Last up is Flat Out, a banger-racing game that impressed an initially sceptical Steve Boxer. Flatout, he says, "is great fun, well executed and fairly satisfying". Right, must get back to reviewing Half Life 2 for next week..
