Although there have been plenty of decent Star Wars games in the past, LucasArts have had a lot of trouble producing a top quality game based on the new prequels--but Republic Commando looks like it could change all that.Republic Commando puts you in a four man squad of elite clonetroopers, that act as a sort of SAS version of the standard stormtrooper-alikes seen in Episode II. It's your job to order the squad about while engaging in a spot of first person shooting action as you go. In other words it's Star Wars does Rainbow Six--the squad-based shooter being just about the only genre of game that hasn't been Star Warsified up until now.
Surprisingly things seem to be turning out rather well with some decent graphics and an easy to use, if slightly perfunctory, squad control interface. The game also takes much inspiration from the GameCube's Metroid Prime with an excellent helmet view that does a lot to immerse you in the game and convince you that you really are the sci-fi version of Andy McNab.
Perhaps the only problem evident at this stage is that the battles are noticeably smaller scale than the ones from the movie with rarely more than half a dozen enemies attacking at any one time, rather than the hundreds seen in the film. An online multiplayer mode should help to shore things up somewhat, although the artificial intelligence of the bad guys is good enough to ensure you can still have plenty of fun on your own. --David Jenkins

Learning to touch type is not the most exciting thing you will ever do. Touch typing is the sort of skill you try to convince yourself you don't need, while a voice at the back of your head keeps telling you otherwise. Just think: all that time you waste correcting typing errors, or searching the keyboard for the letter "j", could be saved up and used for something exciting, such as paragliding. You will be able to type while watching the screen, and people won't be able to laugh at your clumsy two-fingered technique.Actually, although it may not be able to compete with paragliding for adrenaline-pumping excitement, learning to touch type can actually be quite fun. Focus Essential's Teach Yourself Touch Typing is a charming little package that could have you touch typing within a week. It includes an interactive game that helps to reinforce your memory of finger positions. Simply press the keys as indicated in the on-screen diagram. Not exactly Quake, but it does the job. First, though, you learn the correct finger positions by working through the various training and speed-building modules. On completion of the course, you take a series of tests and print out your own certificate. --Daren King
