Mini-Review
Plane Crazy
PlayStation From: Project2

You've probably never heard of this model aeroplane flight sim, and there's a good reason for that - it's crap. The appalling control system means you'll spend most of your time spinning out of control, but keep the thing in the air for five minutes and you'll be rewarded with, well, boring gameplay and shoddy pop-up graphics, actually. Like the equally uncontrollable helicopter sim, RC Stunt Copter (awarded a measly 58% by Future Gamer a couple of weeks ago), this is another PlayStation flyer that really deserves to crash and burn. Leave well alone.

Mini-Review
Point Blank 2
PlayStation From: SCEE

House of the Dead, Time Crisis and the original Point Blank may have persuaded you to buy a lightgun, but this is the game that'll get you shooting like an American teenager in a schoolyard. With 70 different games, this breathes fresh life into the shooting genre, using original ideas instead of relying on pure gore like some lightgun games do. Although the single player action may prove to be a bit short lived, the multiplayer mode is one of the best you'll find in any PlayStation game. Buy a gun, find some friends and get shooting. Fantastic.
