	Platform: PC (Microsoft XP) Publisher: Konami Recommended Age: 3+ PRO EVOLUTON SOCCER 2008 Key to PES 2008 is a proprietary adaptive AI system entitled Teamvision. Unique to the Konami game, Teamvision is a sophisticated AI programming that learns and adapts according to an individual's style of play. As such, it will learn new ways to build attacks and to counter specific movements and previous attacking or defensive errors, ensuring games are more in line with the tactical but flowing nature of the real thing. With the Pro Evolution Soccer series renowned for its fluid, realistic gameplay, the new game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space. Working in conjunction with the Teamvision system, every aspect of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008's on-field play has been reworked and fine-tuned to create the balanced and strategic play of a high stakes match. Set-pieces have been improved, with full control given over the number of players and the position of the defensive wall. A wider range of set piece options are also available to make use of specific talents within the team. "

From its ingenious costumes to its freaky caddies, Tecmo's first Wii effort distances itself from the stuffiness associated with golf tradition. The gameplay in Pangya Golf, however, does a great job of mixing style and fun with golf simulation. Although players can use special shots on occasion and some courses house some unusual obstacles, the golf itself and course design will challenge those who are really into golf sims. The big difference between Pangya Golf and other traditional golf games is the use of the Wii Remote controller. Once you're ready to swing, you move the Remote forward to address the ball. Then, you start your backswing by moving the controller as you would a club. The power meter at the bottom of the screen shows you how far back you need to go to achieve maximum power. Once the meter matches the power with which you want to swing, you press the A Button and hold it. If you deliver a perfect follow through, the word "Pangya" appears on-screen to celebrate your hit, and you collect Pang. You also collect Pang for winning matches and making great shots. With this Pang, gamers can buy new clothes and gear in the shop. Pang is also required to upgrade your character's abilities. Plus, the game keeps track of a good number of statistics, including time spent playing and approximate calories burned. "

Packed with a totally feel good vibe and play that's instantly accessible, Bliss Island is a funky skill based game that centres on keeping kinetic objects moving. Using just the analogue stick and an action button, players will juggle, race, attack, defend and direct a collection of cute characters through a series of mini-games that share this uniquely intuitive yet deceptively fiendish control system. On your arrival at Bliss Island, you'll meet and play with Hoshi the Zwooph, a cute blue creature, who can project precision puffs of air from his long trunk. Usually Hoshi uses this enviable skill to create the clouds that float over the tropical island, but every Friday Hoshi uses his puff-powers to compete in a whole series of games and challenges. And it's in these games that Hoshi - and his fluffy friends Gaston, Ebba and Miki - need your help. Players take control of Hoshi's super blowing powers and help him show off his skills in a series of madcap mini-games. By controlling the timing and direction of Hoshi's puffs, or that of his friends, players will juggle, bounce, and direct objects towards set goals in a wide variety of challenges across the island. Helping Hoshi and his friends compete in challenges such as bouncing fruit into the hungry mouth of the Jigoka monster in Fruit Slam Dunk, saving flowers from swarms of aphids in Fluffy Mayhem, and smashing marching boulders to pieces in Brick Invaders. It all makes for a fantastically frenetic game that tests players' precision, timing and, when the going gets really tough, their nerve. "

	Platform: PSP Publisher: Rising Star Recommended Age: 3+ BUBBLE BOBBLE EVOLUTION Bubble Bobble Evolution takes the classic platforming gameplay that defined the originals and expands it into entirely new realms by injecting all manner of innovations, from new bubble types to new environmental hazards and puzzle elements. Its Story Mode retells the classic story of two human brothers trapped in bubble-blowing dinosaur bodies by an evil nemesis, only this time the action takes place in two "Towers of Entertainment", cylindrical sections of which form the game's levels. The first new feature comes with the level structure itself. Gone is the classic static structure of Bubble Bobble and in its place are three screens on a central 'spindle', which the player can move between at will. Contained within these screens are the basic elements of Bubble Bobble gameplay: The monsters and the bubbles. However, progress is no longer a simple issue of dispatching the wandering monsters to advance onward. New puzzle elements now hinder the player, bringing an entirely new dynamic to the classic Bubble Bobble gameplay. By using the basic techniques refined over a decade of Bubble Bobble titles, players must overcome a cerebral challenge in each level. These can take various forms of elemental exchanges, such as finding a source of fire to melt an ice barrier, or watering a seed so it can grow to fill a gap left by a missing platform. Everything required to solve these tasks is available on the three screens that make up each level. With the addition of these puzzle elements - which can be manipulated in bubbles and nudged along the level's natural air currents. "

	CHICKEN LITTLE: ACE IN ACTION Platform: Nintendo DS Publisher: Buena Vista Recommended Age: 7+ Inspired by the movie within the movie finale of Walt Disney Pictures' box office hit film Chicken Little, Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action features Ace, the superhero alter ego of Chicken Little, and the Hollywood versions of his misfit band of friends: Runt, Abby and Fish-Out-of-Water.

The original Chicken Little and his friends Abby, Runt and Fish we know from the film are featured in cut scenes throughout the videogame. Chicken Little receives a copy of the latest video game starring his super hero alter ego and invites his friends to come over and play it with him, in effect creating a video game within a video game.

	CHILDREN OF MANA Platform: Nintendo DS Publisher: Square Enix Recommended Age: 12+ Ten years before the game begins, a great cataclysm struck, and the land of Illusia was besieged by monsters. Now, the Mana Tree has been corrupted by her own power, and mysterious pillars of Mana energy have appeared throughout the land. Each of these pillars has corrupted the power of the guardian spirits in those lands.

In the center of the world, the Mana Tree grows, sheltering everyone under its strong limbs.

Now, a handful of young heroes must band together to restore the magic of the Mana Tree and save Illusia. "

	Platform: Nintendo DS Publisher: Rising Star Recommended Age: 3+ CONTACT Contact tells the story of a stranded alien professor and Terry, a young man accidentally caught up in the off-world scholar's plight. The story centres on a quest to find the scattered remnants of the professor's extra-terrestrial power-source, adding in a variety of sub-quests and an air of intrigue as shady, sinister parties are looking to find the scattered crystals for use in their own nefarious plans. Complementing the plot are RPG mechanics of considerable depth, including real-time updating of statistics and abilities, as well as a wealth of items to discover and use. Levelling-up occurs as soon as the necessary experience has been gained, making for a dynamic, continuous play experience in keeping with the game's real-time combat systems. Contact also features a unique split of graphical styles across the DS's two screens. On one display, there's a vibrant representation of earthly locales, complete with lush flora, fauna and other inhabitants. On the other screen, however, this look is contrasted by an austere pixel-art look for the portrayal of the professor, his lab and his alien hybrid pet. The professor's unusual nature is not only defined by his visuals. He's entirely aware of the player and will talk to them directly, even commenting on Terry's progress. This breaking of the 'fourth wall' of videogames will raise questions about the professor's role, to the extent where the player will question the professor's morality and motives, possibly even questioning what Contact is. Is it 'just' a game, or is it something more? "
