Videos and video-games 

A brief look at some of the titles in the video store
An evening in front of the TV
Some of the films and games on offer for families and kids

 

An evening in front of the TV with the video on. Or maybe in front of the TV with your games console on your lap ready for an exciting match with your son or a friend. In this column, "Videos and Video Games" we’ll periodically present a selection of home videos and video games which we consider significant. It won’t be a classification but just a selection of recommended titles. We can’t think of winter without thinking of children and Christmas - so we start the home video list with two videos dedicated to the very young. We are going to make a long journey through the world of video as reporters not as critics, to inform you about what we have seen or hired from the video store.

Here in Grumpyland

A video cassette to hire, produced in 1999 in the United States, lasting 67 minutes, directed by Gary Halvorson this is delightful cartoon of great charm for children. The characters are a series of puppets created by Jim Henson. The leader is the hairy Grouth Land who gives the video its title "Grouth Land in Grumpyland". Grouth Land is an easy-going character, clumsy and loveable: he knows how to bring peace and friendship to the difficult characters of Grumpyland, a land of incorrigible grumblers, who are cured of their grumbling by Grouth Land.

Green Card

A comedy lasting 108 minutes, produced in the USA in 1991, directed by Peter Weir, Green Card is the story of an brilliant, though not too refined, musician who, in order to appear in the United States has to have a green card. "Green Card" in fact is the title of the video from De Agostini, in news stands from December. Georges obtains his green card by marrying the refined Bronte: the two in appearance have a difficult marriage and only too late discover that they are in love. Great comedy, great actors. Cost 16,900 Liras.

Video game on the track

La Square has communicated the date when two of its most eagerly awaited titles for the PS2 will appear. Driving-Emotion Type-S, a new game of driving ability which promises great enjoyment will be available from 30th January, while for The Bouncer, a fighter with role play features, we will have to wait until the end of March, which is when it is expected on the US market. Video game players eagerly await the arrival of these two high quality products.

4 wheel drive racing

An exciting car race on four wheel drive? Proposed by Gathering of Developers and Terminal Reality who have anticipated the conversion for PS2 of their excellent game which presents a race with off-the -road vehicles which was greeted with great success by the critics and the public in the PC and Mac versions. Fans will have to wait until April before it goes on sale. News leaks speak of an interesting and highly entertaining product.
