A
The Lord of the Rings:
The Battle for Middle-Earth

A must for any fans of the films!
Control the armies of Middle Earth

yourself in the movie trilogy like
never before. Quite clever so put
your brainy hat on! img

(£39.99, Sintendo
GameCube)
With 14 characters and 8
different courts to choose
from, your tennis matches
will never be the same again! All the characters have
their own special moves to help them out of sticky
situations. Very funny! img
C
Matrix Online

(£29.99, Tega PC-ROM)
You've seen the films - now take
part in the action. Every time you
log-on to play Matrix Online,
Tega updates the info for you to
get further in the game, plus you
play with people from around the
world. Just join in the fun!
img
D
Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory

(PS2, £39.99)
Wish you could win a golden ticket,
too? Now you can. You'll get to
explore the world of Will Wonka,
help the OOmpa-Loompas solve puzzles and save the
chocolate factory. It's not the most thrilling game in the
world, but it's loads of fun.img
