Rating: 4/5 - Icescape is a brilliant game to play. With a horror storyline, in which you are trapped inside a complex in the middle of a snowy desert, you must escape, but you must survive as well. This game is much more complex than most of the 'escape' games, but is still very easy to play, and thrilling. At times it can feel a little tedious, and this is not the game for the young player, but nonetheless, Icescape is a thriller.

Games Master Challenge: Survive the game.

Game #006: Trials 2

Update: From what someone said on a comment (which I managed to cleverly delete), Trials 2 is only 3D on the bought version and the graphics are supposed to be really good. Therefore, please disregard any parts of the rating where I criticize the game for not being 3D as that information is incorrect. However, I still believe that the online version should be 3D, especially seeing as it means those who do not use American currency can't get the better game. I apologize if I may have misled you.

Rating: 3.5/5 - So, here comes another one of those Dirtbike games, where you have to advance through all the levels, without crashing. Except, according to the creators, Trials 2 is 3D! Unfortunately, it doesn't really live up to that standard (on the web version). Despite being a very, very slick game, with amazing (even if not) 3D graphics, Trials 2 still fails to impress me. It manages to be like most 3D games - slow and quick to crash your web browser. The handling of your bike is too stiff, in the words of someone I know, and that person is right. The stiffness of the handling makes you prone to crashing. But what annoys me most of all, is the games non-stop attempts to get you to do download the full version, especially seeing as it asks for American currency, which we happen not to use here in Britain. Well, I doubt I'll be downloading this game any time soon...

Games Master Challenge: See if you can complete all the levels (on the web version), with a combined total of less than 10 falls. Good luck - because you'll need it with this game.

Game #003: Ultimate Raceway

Click here to play the game!

Controls: Up to accelerate, Down to brake, Left and right to steer.

Difficulty: Hard

Objective: To win all of the challenges, by beating your opponents in races. Make sure you keep an eyes on your tires and fuel, however, or you'll end up being out.

Rating: 3/5 - Many 3D driving games, such as Ultimate Raceway struggle, because they load slowly, have fairly poor graphics, and in reality are just a pain to play, sometimes even crashing your computer or PC. Ultimate Raceway has dodged most of the bullet, but there are still a few drawbacks. There is plenty to do in the game, with free-race modes as well as challenge modes, and three different tracks to keep you entertained, along with five different cars to drive. However, the loading probably could be faster, and I have found incompatibility issues with certain computers, due to Shockwave being used in the game. As well as this, the camera angles are often slightly in the wrong place, and the braking always feels wrong. Overall, it is an entertaining game, but can be as equally an annoying one.

Games Master Challenge: I did a lap of the European (first) track in 52 seconds. Can you beat that?
