Online reviews

Today's reviews cover a true classic from the past plus one of this year's finest games so far. The former is Sensible Soccer, bought back to life on one of those plug-straight-into-your-telly things. The use of a pad as a controller is my only issue. I'm a purist - Sensi should only be played with a Competition Pro joystick - but this looks like a decent version all the same, despite the original's use of real player names not surviving the transition. I reviewed one of 2005's finest titles so far - God of War. This gorgeous hack 'n slash adventure will re-affirm any waning interest in action games. Or at least remind you of how good a PS2 game can look. Last up, in an high quality week for reviews, is Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones - a RPG for the not-yet-forgotten Game Boy Advance. "Sacred Stones has impressive amounts of gameplay for the money", said reviewer Rhianna Pratchett.
