Requiem HHHHH

PC-CD Rom This month Ubi Soft have released their new 3D shoot- em-up, Requiem: Avenging Angel. The game has amazing 3D environments, ugly monsters to kill, and loads of weapons to collect. Setting it apart from the rest, Requiem is the first biblical shoot-em-up to date, as you, Malachi, have to save Earth from the fallen Angels. With incredible graphics and terrifying gameplay, this is a classic.

Uefa Champions' League HHH

PlayStation Following Man Utd's European Cup win over Juventus, Eidos are offering you the chance to recreate some of the great European showdowns in their new release, Uefa Champions' League. Players can either play in this season's tournament, or replay matches from the past. The graphics are very accurate; however the gameplay leaves a little to be desired. Even so, it should prove addictive for true fans.
