Alias

There's nothing more annoying than finding your partner has left a grimy ring around thebath, particularly when it consists of their own blood, guts and gore.

Such is the predicament of one Agent Sydney Bristow in the opening episode of smash-hit spy series, Alias.

After a quick scrub around with the Flash, Sydney vows revenge, subsequently attempting to destroy evil crime syndicate SD-6 from within, while also doing double agent duty with the CIA. No wonder she needs so many wigs. The game starts after the shock cliffhanger at the end of Series 2 with Sydney still gunning for hairy SD-6 head honcho Arvin Sloane.

Apparently the Alias bigwigs are avid gamers: they told Acclaim that they were desperate for the show to be turned into a game and allowed unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the Acclaim Cheltenham team.

The official Alias script-writers lent their weight to the plotline, all the actors, including burgeoning star Jennifer Garner, provide their own voices and all faces were photo-referenced for maximum authenticity. Much effort has also been made to give the gameplay as many layers and facets as the show itself with the use of mini-games, split-screen and interactive environments. You can even use kitchen utensils as makeshift weapons. Gives new meaning to 'mashing potatoes'.

It's early days for Alias the game, but we're intrigued.
