Tony Hawks 5:
You skate about and complete tasks to unlock the next level. “Revolutionary” said Tony Hawks.
Soundtrack will feature several shouty metal bands and secret characters including Fern Britton, Moira Stewart and Stephen Hawkins.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Bendy Snake
You have to infiltrate some places and not get discovered.
You can whack off to a picture on a locker and stuff guard’s bodies down your pants to impress the boss characters. Hideo Kojima refuses to release any further details except “it will be good”
Silent Hill 3:
Banned in every country except Japan.
Import copy was reviewed by one Western journo, who refuses to speak and has taken to hiding under his quilt crying softly and saying “mustn’t expose any limbs outside the quilt.”
Early reports suggest the into screen is a low hum and black screen, at which point the PS2 promptly fouls itself and refuses to let you play the game.
Afghan Strike:
The next instalment in the popular airborne war-game.
This game has been criticised as being “dull”, seeing as the player merely sits at home for 2 months whilst the computer partner bombs the area repeatedly until nothing is left above ground.
You then take control of your helicopter and enforce your ideals on neighbouring regions, saying “You very bad man as well”

Gamecube
Mario’s 3 Day Crack Binge:
Rescue the princess from the clutches of Bowser by eating mushrooms and then being forced to take crack until you are addicted.
Like Popeye Doyale in French Connection 2.
You must then attempt to escape from your cellar dungeon and feed your habit by stealing magic coins and pawning them for gear.
Initial concerns about the adult nature of this game have been allayed by Nintendo saying “Shut up.”
Smooshy Cuddly Wuddly:
Featuring a nice pink cloud and some dragons. Not much plot but it’s nice and colourful and the kids’ll love it.
And Meka.
Pokemon – Gullible Parent edition
Allay your screaming children by getting the latest edition to Pokemon. Exactly the same as the last game, except this has a shiny box and a new character:
Dingogator – this loveable critter snatches toddlers from tents and can chase Steve Irwin for bonus attack points.
Nerf Boxing
The popular pugilistic sport, except you wear big foam gloves and swing like a big girl until someone says "This is rubbish” and turns it off.

Xbox
PC Port
Already a hit on the PC, this title will be the same but with 2 new secret levels. But you have to buy Microsoft’s “Secret Level Unlocker” controller for £300 extra.
Metal Gear Box
Pretty much identical to the other platforms, except this time you play neither Raiden nor Snake but a new supercool character called “Solid Gates”.
Microsoft as said to be “delighted” at the progress and hint a released date of tomorrow.
