The big summer film is probably going to be Wall-E (actually, it might be The Dark Knight - but kids will be more interested in Wall-E). I’m always wary when a game based on a movie appears, so here’s hoping this is at least bearable.
All the characters from the film are present and correct, as is the voice talent. As well as reliving key moments from the movie, in the game you’ll also enjoy new storylines and explore massive environments that you won’t see in the cinema.
To get the DS version click here, for the PS2 release click here, and for the PSP version click here - all are £17.83 each at Asda.
Do you like dirtbikes? Do you like monster trucks? If the answer to either (or both) of these questions is yes, then you’ll probably enjoy MX Vs ATV: Untamed - these are what you race on it.
There’s many competitions to compete in and a bunch of mini-games thrown in as well, however the big selling point is that the PlayStation 3 version has an online multiplayer mode which can cater for up to 12 players at a time!

King Of Clubs From £10.98
15 Jun
There’s not many crazy golf games around, which is a little odd when you consider the amount of straight golf titles available on various consoles. King Of Clubs fills this void in quite a good way.
With 10 courses, which each have their own resident pro, this should be a good laugh if you get some friends round to take part in the multiplayer mode.

If you’re a Wii owner, you might be interested to know that King Of Clubs is £17.99 for it.
The Need For Speed series is notorious for being incredibly average. Need For Speed: Prostreet is much better than most of the other titles in the series, but it’s still far from being the perfect racing game.
Compete around the world to prove that you have what it takes to be the king of the road, but sadly there’s no ability to compete online. Boo!
Click here to buy the PlayStation 2 version for £4.96 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £6.95 delivered) from Amazon, click here to get the PSP release for £20.99 delivered from Gamestation, click here to bag the Wii version for £19.99 from CD-WOW, or click here to buy the XBox 360 release for £14.97 from Amazon.
Phew!
Poker can be an expensive game if you don’t watch what you’re doing. Listen to me being the moral guardian - I actually don’t care if people spend money on poker, you only live once (or maybe twice, who knows)!
World Series Of Poker 2008: Battle For The Bracelets does exactly what it says on the tin and provides a fairly realistic game of poker. Climb your way up the ranks in your quest to win the championship bracelet.

Bee Movie Game £10.99
14 Jun
As Bee Movie was written by and stars Jerry Seinfeld you’d be quite right to expect that it’s rather funny - even though it is aimed at kids. Sadly, Bee Movie Game is quite terrible.
Kids may enjoy this as it’s not too difficult, but older players will quite rightly find the game annoying and slow. The search for the perfect movie tie-in continues…

Okami From £9.99
09 Jun
Okami was the last truely original game on the PlayStation 2, with it’s beautiful visuals and revolutionary design (which is very reminiscent of traditional Japanese art). This epic tale combines folklore and mysticism to create a very immsersive experience.
It’s out on the Wii next week, and takes full advantage of the Wii’s unique control scheme - use it like a paint brush to perform various different manoeuvres.
Click here to buy the PS2 version for £9.99 from HMV, or click here to preorder the Wii release for £23.92 from Blah DVD.
If making a prat of yourself appeals to you, then the SingStar series is something that you should look into. Basically, it’s karaoke in the relative safety of your own home - I say safety, but if anyone happens to see you then they’ll think you should be committed.
SingStar: Rocks!, which comes with a couple of microphones, contains lots of recognisable tracks from such artists as Queen, Nirvana, Keane, Blur, Bowling For Soup and Coldplay.
Click here to buy this PlayStation 2 title for the decent price of £24.99 from Play.com - you also might like to know that SingStar: Anthems and SingStar: Bollywood are also available for cheap prices.
Madden NFL 08 From £12.99
07 Jun
I always feel a bit better inside when I see a new Madden game every year - it’s almost like a reminder of bygone years, or some kind of nonsense like that. Yes, I’m a little mad.
Anyway, Madden NFL 08 is the latest in the series and has a bunch of new features such as a read-and-react system, skill drills and a Fantasy Challenge mode (where you draft your dream team and advance through different levels of difficulty).
There’s many console versions available for decent prices. The PS2 release is £12.99 (click here), the PSP version is £13.99 (click here), the XBox 360 release is £14.99 (click here) and the Wii version is £18.99 (click here) - all from SoftUK.
SingStar: Anthems £10.98
06 Jun
I’m pretty sure that the SingStar games were designed to make people (read, men who can’t sing) look like complete idiots. Not to say that it isn’t fun, just that it makes you look rather foolish.
SingStar: Anthems contains 20 new tracks to sing along to, with hits from such artists as: Girls Aloud, Queen, Charlotte Church, Bananarama, Cher, The Pussycat Dolls, and others.
Gamestation are selling this PS2 title for £10.98 delivered - click here for more details.
