Revolutionary new PC applications are near completion, but have been kept very 'hush-hush' up until now. This strange breed of games/programs will help conduct the simplest tasks of the PC world. Many would brand these utensils as pointless, but I, being less sceptical think they could be the next Microsoft office.

First on the list is 'Word War Two', in which, the player roams round shooting soldiers whom hold various letters of the alphabet. You have to fill the soldiers with cold lead in order to use that specific letter. One might say, 'why not just use the keyboard?', In reply I would say 'Stop interrupting me'. Definitely more fun than the standard 'Word' program, but take days to write 2 paragraphs...

Second utensil, expected to be extremely popular is 'WWE Shutdown'. This program will perform exactly what it says on the tin.... box, case, whatever. You basically choose a wrestler, venue, attire, shoe size, etc. and then you step into the ring. You have to 'lay the shutdown' on your computer controlled opponent, and your computer will then shut down, on the other hand, if you lose, ‘WWE shutdown’ will delete all files from your hard drive.

If you are in a rush to shutdown your computer, this definitely is not the program for you, however, if you wish to fight for years of save documents, for the simple delights of beating an opponent, I would highly recommend this product.

‘Pop up blocker Soccer’ already a hit with the Eastern Market; this deranged football sim is designed to stop advertisements interrupting your web surfing. Essentially, when a pop up appears, the game of two halves begins. You have 90 minutes to annihilate the computer generated team, if you succeed the pop-up is blocked, if you are defeated, you are bombarded with over 10,000 ads, and will be subscribed to 100 different newsletters.

If you really hate pop-ups, this is one for you, but only if you have over an hour and a half to spare every time the gift of advertisements approach you. Conversely, if you like pop-ups, I would recommend purchasing this title, then lose purposely, in order to receive the thrill of thousands of painstakingly boring pop ups. Lets hope this Eastern promise lives up to its hype.

The fourth and final title I can report on goes by the name of ‘Calculator: The Dawn of fate’. Accusations of this title stealing its name from the latest Terminator game have been erased after Infrogrames stated they ‘had’ Microsoft’s mother.

The aim of the game - blast the appropriate numbers and signs, in order to create a sum, press the ‘Z’ key for the phrase ‘I’ll calc-ulate that’ will be used. The fearsome calculator will then perform the sum, while speaking absolute gibberish. In this early Beta version, the answer was given in Korean, so, I have no idea whether it worked or not.

If you have the patience for the Arnie-impersonators voice, then you should easily adapt to this calculating tool. If you can’t stand the voice over, then, burn the disc. Burn it good. Mwuhahaha *ahem* sorry

Will this brave new breed of mutations become popular enough to sell by the million? Only time will tell. Heads up ‘Microsoft Office’ there’s a new breed in town.

Darn, It should have been something like 'WWE Shutdown 4: Shut your comp', or 'Just Off It', Ok, I'll stop now...
