Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

AND 1 Streetball (PS2/Xbox)

Developed by Black Ops for the PS2 and the Xbox, AND 1 Streetball is the ultimate basketball experience and features all the jaw-dropping moves of authentic streetball.

With unprecedented depth, freedom and control, AND 1 Streetball features the entire roster of sensational AND 1 MixTape Tour players such as AO, The Professor, Spyda and Pharmacist, each with their signature moves and look. AND 1 Streetball also gives you the power to create your own player and your own moves, so you can become the next streetball phenomenon.

The highly immersive Story mode puts you on the AND 1 MixTape Tour, the world's premier streetball event, where originality and the ability to electrify the crowds will get your name mentioned alongside the streetball legends. But to become a legend in true AND 1 MixTape Tour fashion, you must continue to work on your skills and elevate your game every time you play.

Key features include:

  • Step into the shoes of the AND 1 players to execute mesmerizing moves like Hot Sauce's killer crossover, Helicopter's rim-bending dunks, and The Professor's no-look passes.
  • Build your own character and create your own signature moves using AND 1's revolutionary Create-a-Move editor, loaded with custom showboating, scoring and celebration moves.
  • School the competition with I Ball controls, an intuitive control system that gives you fluid and precise command over every offensive and defensive move. Not only will you do it, you will also feel it.
  • Story mode allows you to experience the trials and exhilarations of getting signed to the AND 1 MixTape Team, as seen on ESPN. Dominate the open run, survive the hazing and bring it home in the final game, as seen on ESPN.
  • Play the game you want to play. Scale your teams anywhere from one-on-one to five-on-five. Run a full-court game, or do a half-court battle, the choice is yours.
  • Just like the AND 1 MixTapes, the music soundtrack features a loaded library of unreleased songs. The eclectic mix of exclusive hip-hop tracks represents various styles, including West Coast, East Coast, and the Dirty South Crunk! Each court has its own sound and flavor.
  • Put your skills to the test against other top players as you showcase your own creative moves and strive to gain a reputation as the best.

AND 1 Streetball is now avilalble in retail stores for a suggested price of $39.99.

Sensible Soccer 2006 (UK only) (PS2/Xbox/PC)

With insane speed, spectacular goals with loads of after-touch, gripping gameplay and a zoomed out camera for the best view of the pitch – it's all in the return of Sensible Soccer, coming to PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC this summer.

And on top of everything loved by millions comes new features, including replays with typical Sensible Soccer humour that feature caricatured players with the biggest heads you've ever seen in football!

Inspired by the pixel players with enlarged heads of the original game, this all new version of Sensible Soccer will include fast cutting replays that take you right into the action as your big-headed players, shown in a new 3D cel-shaded visual style, celebrate those outrageous curling goals from 30 yards out in glorious animations that you were always telling your mates about.

The new exaggerated visual style of the game perfectly complements the addictive, super fast kick-about gameplay that's just pure Sensible Soccer.

When the replay's done you're straight back to the match viewed with Sensi's trademark zoomed out camera. The return of a bird's-eye view to football gaming lets you see more of the pitch and provides you with the very best way to execute your passing, dribbling, and perfect finishing.

Says Jon Hare, designer and producer of the original Sensible Soccer and games design consultant on this edition: "The all new Sensi is the perfect blend of past, present and future with all the speed, fun and playability of the original combined with all the animations, four-player fun and spiced up with a magical sprinkling of original gameplay features that have never been seen before, including a mega single-player mode, 360-degree control and video style replays featuring cel-shaded caricatures of those lovable big-headed players"
