Title: Axis (£25)
A very good game with a unique rotation effect whereby you stay still and
the whole (sprite-based) world rotates around you. Not content with graphical
excellence, the game is great fun to play too, although perhaps the game design
is a little simplistic. A nice touch is the way you can shoot and damage all
the scenery, and the game has an impressive array of
power-ups, enemies and scenery, although unfortunately the difficulty setting is
a little erratic. Definitely worth buying, however. (This game used to cost 20
pounds but has now gone up to 25 pounds!)

Title: Big Bang (£15)
Strange platform game full of zany special effects. Often very difficult to
see what you're doing due to the game design and the large main
character. Nicely coded but often lacks playability.
