Brilliant! I've been waiting for Golden Axe to come out on budget for ages! I even considered buying it at full-price once (but luckily I soon recovered).

You can play one of three rock-hard fantasy peeps. You then go on a sideways-viewed quest to kill Death Adder. He's basically a big nasty, with millions of smaller nasties between you and him (who you'll have to decapitate first).

It's chop, hack and slash in glorious colour, with a sort of 3D effect thrown in, and it's great. Loads of excellent graphics, plenty of ace sound effects and fast, accurate movement means that you can actually go inside your computer and live as the fantasy folk do (but remember to come back in time for tea).

It's a great game, but it's dead tough, so dig out those cheats in issue 7. In fact, there's only one thing that's stopping it being a Corker. It's only got a one-player mode. So my mate Barry has to sit and watch while I play it for hours!

If you haven't (foolishly) parted with your dosh earlier, now's the time to buy Golden Axe. It's a fabbo, whizzer of a game (although it still hasn't got a blimmin' two-player mode).
