Arc: Twilight of the Spirits (PS2 £39.99, Sony)
As well as making top-notch games consoles, it seems Sony also has a knack for slipping some half decent RPGs off its production line. Twilight of the Spirits allows you to take control of two brothers with a diference. Being an RPG, they are born to a demon father and a human mother. Born into a revolting world, they are subsequently separated moments after birth. Seemingly shunted by the world, unaccepted by humans and demons alike, they grow up in two separate worlds. Kharg raised in a human village and Darc in a demon city. They grow up feeding off the propaganda against each others race, unaware of the their own shared blood. Like most RPGs, there is the overpowering evil that the two must defeat. A good 60 hours will be spent, trying to save the world, that they were born ungratefully born into.

Conflict: Desert Storm II (Various £39.99, SCI)
Though Conflict: Desert Storm II runs the risk of seeming too insensitive even for video game players, this sequel is still set in the original 1991 Gulf War. It's a squad-based shooter that follows the testosterone-enriched adventures of soldiers Bradley, Foley, Connors and Jones as they travel 300 km further behind enemy lines beginning with--and couldn't you just guess it--a rescue mission at a downed Black Hawk helicopter within a heavily fortified city. Of course, replicating dangerously jingoistic American movies is exactly what Conflict: Desert Storm II is all about and there's a ton of new hardware in this sequel to get even the most steadfast pacifist reaching for the Arnie one-liners. You've got new phosphor grenades, a laser designator to call in helicopters and jet planes and, best of all, the chance to jump in a jeep and spray bad guys with heavy machine gun fire. As well as adding new features Conflict: Desert Storm II also fixes problems with the original game, in particular the often highly erratic frame rate, which is a lot smoother than before. The co-op mode is also back and better than ever, especially as you can now pick any level from the single-player mode to play through at any time.
