When you think of Sega, three words normally spring to mind: Blue, Spikey and Hedgehog. You've guessed it: Sonic is Back. This time it's with the Sega Dreamcast and in full Technicolor. With a new lease of life, new friends and new baddies, Sonic has certainly got his work cut out for him--in a breezy, buzzing world that shows the transfer of an old game to a new console needn't be limp. Now we are granted shots of Sonic running at high speed, the calming ocean in the background and other graphical niceties. There are times when you have to be precise with the position of Sonic, and after bouncing your way through numerous trampolines this it can be annoying. Still, every time our little friend turns and waves everything just seems all right. This game ranks with other titles in the genre. If you're a Sonic fan, but never got around to getting this title for your collection then it certainly is a must. If however you are a slightly less devoted Sega fan, then perhaps other titles such as Rayman 2 that have moved the genre are most appropriate. This said, a Sega console without Sonic the Hedgehog is like a fish without a bicycle. --Stuart Miles

So you've sat avidly in front of the television screaming at the contestants of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Of course, with you sitting comfortable at home with your cup of tea in hand, the pressure isn't as great, and of course you've already proved to yourself that you could have won the million pounds months ago, well now is your chance, for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? has now come to that beige box in the corner of the room.With all the fanfare, Chris Tarrant's voiceover and a plethora of questions to challenge you, it's the chance any avid quiz expert has been looking for to final put their critics to rest.
Dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's, the game is an exact replica of the television show. And yes before you ask, Chris Tarrant does make sure that "It is your final answer" and that you "are sure" you've made the right choice.
As in the TV game show you have the option to ask the audience, phone a friend and play the 50:50 cards, and just like the real McCoy, the audience do get it wrong and your friends don't have a clue.
With multiplayer options allowing you to practice the fastest finger, head to head competition and teamwork, this game will allow you to drag the whole family into the game.
Surprisingly challenging and pressure building--you can't skip the video sequences, nor Chris Tarrant's voiceovers--this game is great if you have any inclination towards the quiz genre. If you are a hardened fan of the television series then this however, will be more than your cup of tea, allowing you to finally take the seat and try and become a virtual millionaire.

The Next Tetris is an updated version of the now-classic block-dropping puzzle game which propelled the Game Boy to its worldwide superstardom. As per previous incarnations, four-piece blocks in a variety of shapes drop from the top of the screen and must be rotated to fit together carefully at the bottom to complete lines; this time, though, the blocks' component pieces are differently coloured, and these different coloured bits will split off and drop down if there's a space below them. It adds another dimension to the gameplay, but one that wasn't really necessary. Another gripe is that the aim of the main game is not to gain a high score or a record number of lines, but to clear the screen and move onto the next level--kind of like the Game Boy original's Game B.A supposedly Classic Tetris is also included here, though the points you score don't increase with the levels and even a Tetris (four lines cleared at once) will get you a measly 16 points--nowhere near as satisfying as the 12000-odd points you'd get for clearing the same on level nine of the original.
Altogether, The Next Tetris is somehow not as compelling as the Game Boy version, and, since the online multiplayer mode has been dropped from the UK release, it's really only worth buying if you don't have one of Nintendo's handheld stars. --Rikki Price

If you are the type of gamer who would rather lay down cards than blow up armies, Caesars Palace 2000 may be the payoff you've been anticipating. With a wide variety of games, ranging from card games to table games like roulette and craps, to video and slot machines, Caesars Palace 2000 offers something for the gambler in just about everyone.Graphically, Caesars Palace 2000 takes full advantage of the Dreamcast's capabilities, with tables so sharp you can feel the felt, excellently animated shuffles and deals, and authentically marked chips and cards.
The odds at this casino were verified by math analyst William Bertram, and are as realistic as in any physical gambling hall. For this reason, if you don't usually leave Las Vegas overflowing with winnings, don't expect to be winning every hand at Caesars Palace 2000. On the other hand, this realism makes the game a perfect practice ground for gambling in the real world. The game's tutorial advice, though usually only offered after a mistake, is accurate and precise--a perfect primer for learning new games.
The only major drawback to the game is its speed. As devotees of computer solitaire know, the beauty of card games on a video system is that there's no need for shuffling or actually dealing the cards. That said, Caesars Palace 2000 maintains realism by showing shuffles and deals, but they detract from gameplay by slowing the time between hands. This slowness is particularly obvious in the slot machines. --Benjamin Reese
