| Comments | Get the falling sand into the pit below, by selectively removing lines that get in the way. ARGH! There are roughly 100 grains of sand onscreen, and they all move one at a time. That's slow enough, but since I waited for ages to be able to select or remove a line with no luck, it became boring beyond belief! I almost lost the will to live, and that adds a point to the score! 7/10 |

| Description | David Mackenzie's grim and cautionary tale, set in the not-too-distant present, shows what really happens when walls (not the sausages) go beserk and buildings attack. Sure you might have found it entertaining to watch on Sky channel 50623, but this accurate documentary program uncovers the awful truth in high-resolution monochrome graphics, and helps us to count the human cost of such tragedies, by making it fun! The eerily prophetic name means you'll never look at a wall the same way again. |

| Description | According to the author, "It's a thrilling shoot-em-up loaded with over 4 weapons to choose from!" |
| Comments | Dobsonic Defendor describes itself as a "thrilling shoot-em-up with over 4 weapons." That's probably one of the most accurate descriptions issued to any of the crap games on offer this year. Taking it's cues from Space Invaders, you control your craft, the Dobsonic Defendor, with the O and P keys, and Space to fire. It's deceptively simple, and yet the depth and attention to detail is stunning. B+. Bad spelling aside, Dobsonic Defendor stood out because although it looks impressive (like a proper game!) it is in actual fact crap. It's got the best array of weapons ever seen (James Blunt! We all remember that weapon in Frogger) on any game (on pretty much any platform). It's also impossible to lose, has practical controls and pretty good aracde-style graphics. All that's missing is any kind of entertainment, which makes it very crap, considering what it could have been. |
