On 23 July 1969 BBC2’s Pot Black revolutionised televised snooker, due largely to the fact that it was in colour, and therefore stopped ‘Whispering’ Ted Lowe from confusing the hell out of viewers of black and white TVs with the gem: "for those of you watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green". Or words to that effect.

You could say that World Championship Snooker 2005 on PSP is something of a revolution for videogame snooker seeing as the player always enjoys a perfectly dead-on view of the screen, eliminating the guess work that accompanies shots if your view isn’t perpendicular to the, perhaps not, action, but sedate goings on.

If it sounds like we’re scratching around looking for pleasantries you’d be wrong – if we had the space we’d list the extensive roster of players and the many spin offs of pool and snooker on offer, but we don’t. Petit reviews for pocket sized games and that. Just believe us – it’s extensive.

Multiplayer, be it, WLAN or on a single PSP is smooth, brimming over with the sly satisfaction of a crafty snooker, or an improbably long pot. And there’ll be more of them than ever – the crispness of the display facilitating the most exacting of plants and trick shots. We’d tell you about our favourite, but a) you’d never believe us, and b) we don’t have the room.
