Realplay Pool (In2games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

It works, but a lack of variety and entertainment value meals RealPlay Pool is no substitute for the real thing.

Realplay Racing (In2games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Want to race with a steering wheel? Buy Burnout, buy a proper wheel peripheral and avoid this game like the M25 at rush hour.

Realplay Golf (In2games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A feeling of accuracy is what you need in a golf game, but this peripheral doesn't provide a shred of it.

Realplay Puzzlesphere (In2games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

It's a rare title that makes us ashamed that we play videogames. That is Puzzlesphere's sole achievement.

Buzz! Junior Monster Rumble (Sony) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A multitude of monstery mini-games that makes for a festival of family fun.

EyeToy Play: Astro Zoo (London Studio) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

It gets thin pretty quickly, but it's a definite necessity for kids' parties and all-round cutesy good times.

International Cricket Captain (Empire) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

This stuffy management game requires the patience and dedication of a Franciscan monk to play.

Alvin And The Chipmunks (Brash Entertainment) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

It's primary-schooler friendly, but without all the gimmicks found in other rhythm-action titles, it's essentially a £30 mini-game.

CSI: 3 Dimensions Of Murder (Ubisoft) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

An old-fashioned point-and-click game with stories that are interesting enough but give new meaning to the phrase 'slow-paced'.

High School Musical: Sing It! (Disney) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Almost a 10-year-old girl's dream come true, but too short and too no-frills: could have been a lot more.
