Tom Baker's Ultimate Sci-Fi Quiz starts well - Tom Baker is, as ever, entertaining and he doesn't take himself too seriously. The game allows for one or two player games, and the premise is that you are captain of a spaceship that has fallen through a wormhole and is lightyears from Earth. You were on a research mission, and it's imperative that the data you collected is returned to Earth. Each question you answer correctly brings you closer to Earth; wrong answers leave you where you are. In a 2-player game there's the added hazard of encountering another wormhole - an incorrect answer here will swap your place with the other contestant if you're ahead and answer correctly.

There are 15 categories of questions, ranging from different decades to 'Earth in Peril'. The 'Literature' category isn't really about books, though, more like films based on books. And the questions are weighted towards 'classic' sci-fi, so unless you're a real sci-fi fan there's going to be a lot of questions you can't answer first time around.

The main problem with the game is that the interface is slow and clunky. Your ships computer will repeat all the correct answers you give. It will also insist on making a witty comment every time you get an answer wrong - but as it has a limited supply of wit, you'll have heard all of them before the first game is over.

All-in-all this will entertain a sci-fi fan with endless patience for a little while. Everyone else should avoid it.
