One more street racer with a neat realization: 24 cars (Mustang GT, Pontiac GTO, Subaru Impreza, Honda NSX, ...) and 16 courses through cities of New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo (Shinjuku and Shibuya). Players can of course customize their car and all races occur at night which is not surprising either. More original: the boost function is unlimited!

This game's particularity comes from the fact that the bike inclines automatically while you turn the handle bar. Up to four machines can be linked-up for a good laugh between friends! We remember the lack of interest of L.A Riders's standard version because of the unmoving bike. That's why only the deluxe version of King of the Road is distributed in Europe. Wise decision!

Here comes the show's most original video game: Brick People! You have to build up blocks against the screen to allow little characters to catch food. This game is marvellous! Unfortunately, due to the lack of respect some European players show, Brick People doesn't fit all locations unless you want to find yourself with an empty block box quite quickly.

The machine is fitted with a high resolution 42" screen and four units can be linked-up.

With GTI Club, no more big cars, here comes the compact models like Mini, Peugeot 308 and VW Polo! Small but nervous, ideal to quickly climb up and down steep hills of Italian, French, English and American streets. Fun is the word here with the series classic ''Bomb Tag'' mode where players keep exchanging a bomb, the car which owns the bomb when timer reaches ''0'' explodes and his driver loses the round. For football fans, ''Car-Football'' mode is also featured. Less serious than other driving games, this third episode of GTI Club is a breath of fresh air! The game is still being developed and unfortunately, we'll have to wait for a September release.

When saying Konami, famous Dance Dance Revolution dance machine automatically comes to mind. To celebrate the series tenth anniversary, the cabinet receives a face lift and ditches its ''Dancing Stage'' European name to return to its original title: Dance Dance Revolution X. This anniversary edition includes many new features and a huge song collection comprising many classics from the previous games as well as lots of brand new tracks. Out in May.

Let's continue our tour of music games with the latest sensation from Japan: jubeat (renamed UBeat in Europe). Very well done, this compact cabinet received the Arcadia Award of Best Design. Concept is very simple, the player chooses a popular song and must touch the little screens in rhythm while following the sequence. It's harder than what it seems! Up to four machines can be linked-up.

We're now in front of an interesting case: Guitar Hero was the home adaptation of Konami's GuitarFreaks arcade concept. Due to its popularity, Guitar Hero now appears in an arcade format by Raw Thrills under the name: ''Guitar Hero Arcade''. It's justice. As most Raw Thrills titles, this cabinet hosts a Dell PC and features more than 400 pulsating LEDs which won't fail to attract players. The two included Enduro-ax guitars are stronger than their home counterparts.

Combining video game and redemption is not easy but Byon Byon successfully passes the test! Players win tickets through nine mini games with various objectives like breaking bottles, find the object that doesn't belong/the intruder or select the good ingredients to make a cocktail. Commands are original since you have to squeeze both handles to shoot (imagine holding a bellow). Coloured and funny characters, a high amount of humour and simultaneous two players play will attract a wider audience than usual redemption machines. We love it!

''Superb!'' is the word that comes to mind when we think about this arcade iteration of Castlevania! Two players can enter this black box reminding Silent Hill. There they find two whip handles featuring two buttons: the first to select secondary weapons and the second acting as a trigger. Secondary weapons can be holy water vials or throw knives, the handle's top switching colors according to the selected weapon. And you'll need them when facing enemies like Dracula and The Death!

Moving the handle in the air results in whip blows on screen. It becomes quite quickly exhausting for your arm but the overall quality of the production (magnificent graphics and atmospheric setting) makes you wanting to continue your adventure. On the sound side, series fanatics will be in heaven with a good 5.1 sound system serving many great remixes of well known themes. An awesome and original game sporting a production quality level rarely seen in arcade games these days. Testing still has to be done to estimate if European players are liable enough to enjoy this machine without damaging it... Hopefully it will be OK!

Coupling 2D characters with 3D backgrounds on a hi-res 16/9 screen, this beautiful game features an interesting storyline set in a graphically detailed universe.
