F.E.A.R Files
F.E.A.R Files is an expansion pack for the supercreepy, but ever so slightly dated FPS. This game features terrifying levels, packed with deadly super-soldiers and giant robots. Fortunately, there’s a full complement of weapons to help you deal with them, including a rocked launcher and mini-gun. A weapon of warning – make sure you use the ‘focus’ ability as often as possible to avoid being ripped to shreds. This game is pretty hardcore, because if you die you’ll be sent all the way to the beginning.
StrangleHold
John Woo and action Chow Yun Fat have teamed up for another outrageous episode of gunplay, bloodshed and doves. Chow Yun Fat reprises his role as Inspector Tequila form the movie Hard Boiled. He’s a maverick cop with vengeful streak, particularly when his daughter is kidnapped by a Triad Boss.
To take on the enemy you’ll have to master a special move called ‘Tequila time’. This slo-mo effect kicks in whenever you hold down the Right bumper or perform an acrobatic move. Score some kills during this period you’ll learn style points that boost your Tequila Bomb meter.
FlatOut Ultimate Carnage
This generous game includes a Carnage race. Destruction Derby and Standard Race. In Carnage, you get behind the wheel of a rustbucket and take on 12 opponents down a canal. Score as many points as you can by smashing up scenery and other drivers. Destruction Derby follows a similar trend, although this one takes place in the enclosed arena. Then there’s race – three laps of a woodland circuit against 12 opponents.
TimeShift
By the time you are reading this TimeShift will almost be on sale, so why no review in this ‘’box’’? Quite simply we didn’t get the code in time to make the printers. But check out the review online at www.oxm.co.uk, and then play this game demo!
TimeShift does exactly what its name suggests, allowing you to pause, rewind or fast forward the clocks to suit any situation. Your time travel device, the Beta suit, is an extremely effective weapon with built-in Al. This means it’ll automatically switch to the best mode to get you out of a sticky situation.
Conan
In this gory and insanely violent beat’em up, the legendary Barbarian is washed ashore on the Black Coast. At the start of this game you’re instructed by a pirate queen to go out there and rescue her crew. THQ has already unlocked everything for you, so you’ll be able to slice off arms and legs to your heart’s content. Try to time your blocks to the exact moment your enemy strikes. If you time It right, an indicator shows that you can execute a finishing move. Press the corresponding buttons to pull it off.
