Title: Crystal Maze, The (£35)
Plenty of variety, with a wide range of puzzle and skill games (although the 'physical' games are a bit dodgy) but whoever attempted to write the music must be tone deaf! Unbelievably this game which features such lovely graphics has an incredibly bad rendition of the TV music. It suddenly goes very weird after several seconds in the crystal dome. Strangely, despite a good game until this point the crystal dome game itself is very dodgy - it is completely uncontrollable and utterly devoid of skill.

Title: DarkWood (£25)
3D arcade adventure game with some impressive camera movements and graphics which are by turn excellent and terrible. A big project for a solo programmer, and at times it shows, but this is still a great game, which really conveys the sense of a "living game world" in a way very, very few other games can. Despite a surprisingly small game map the game manages to pack in quite a few puzzles. If you've played many adventure games before this is unlikely to take more than about eight hours to complete, however. Sound is quite limited, although there a couple of good ambient(ish) music tracks. Harddisc recommended.
