Spider-Man: The Movie
Gamecube (Activision)
£39.99
****
The world's favourite web-slinging superhero returns from his biggest silver-screen escapade ever to help you hit the Green Goblin where it hurts. Designed to mimic the film in terms of action, animation and plot, there's some problematic camera and control issues, but it manages to deliver some extremely gripping air- and ground-based action/adventure gaming.

Top Gun: Combat Zones
Gameboy Advance (Virgin)
£29.99
***
This new release puts the legendary mythical dogfighting school, Top Gun, into the palm of your hand. Your mission is to prove your worth as a top F14 pilot by completing numerous missions on hostile territory, or by dogfighting against a pal in multiplayer mode. Ignoring its maddening music and repetitive style, its good looks and simple playability will have you riveted.

Slam Tennis
PlayStation 2 (Infogrames)
£29.99
***
Infogrames' Slam Tennis is in the same mould as Sega's Virtual Tennis. Featuring a plethora of famous names from the world of tennis, it tests your timing and accuracy in both standard match format and insane skill challenges. Although not the fastest or prettiest tennis title to date, given enough time and patience, it's surprising just how addictive it can become.

Prisoner of War
PlayStation 2 (Codemasters)
£39.99
*****
Thrown into a PoW camp during the Second World War, you, as American Flight Officer Captain Lewis Stone, must find a way out from the Nazi's grasp – and fast. A third-person RPG, you must collect all manner of knowledge and paraphernalia to effect an escape plan. Despite its slow disposition, it's an intelligent adventure that requires perseverance and perception to succeed.
