Let's begin with something gentle, and not too challenging. If you're tiring of holiday turkey leftovers, however, then Sheep (Empire Interactive, £29.99 on the PC and Sony PlayStation) is likely to make you sick of lamb as well. It takes its cue from entertaining yet frustrating puzzlers such as Lemmings. So the premise is very simple: herd a defenceless flock of sheep across a series of terrains—farmyards, abattoirs, discotheques—back to their home planet. You had, of course, realised that sheep are intelligent visitors from space sent to observe us? Fun, but annoying when yourrnflock dashes out in front of the combine harvester for the umpteenth time.
