If you can remember Turok on the Nintendo 64, you probably have memories of it being quite a good cross between Jurassic Park and Call Of Duty. The newest title in the series continues this theme, but is sadly not as good as other first person shooters available on the market.
Playing as Jason Turok, your mission is to take down a war criminal - your former mentor, Roland Kane. Set on a planet inhabited by Kane and his soldiers, use your elite training to overcome not only them but the other creatures that populate the environment.

Grand Theft Auto IV £27.99
09 Jun
Do you care about mindless violence in video games? I didn’t think so, as it seems to be only people paranoid about everything who complain about them corrupting our minds. I for one would rather run over a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto IV than do the same thing in real life - surely that’s a good thing?
Anyway, you probably know all about this by now so there’s not much point in me trying to tell you what it’s all about. I can tell you that it’s probably the best game of the year so far though.

Condemned 2 £23.99
09 Jun
What with "social commentators" enjoying the abuse of gamers who happen to like violent games, perhaps Condemned 2 will make them a bit happier - the basic idea is to kill serial killers. Actually, that will probably make them angrier. Great.
This sequel to one of the debut titles on the XBox 360 is not quite as good as the original, but does have quite a good online multiplayer mode. Which is nice.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is the sequel to one of the best (in terms of multiplayer playability at least) games of recent times. This time it’s up to your team to stop Alvarez Cabrero from turning Las Vegas into a burning inferno.
This signals the end of Rainbow Six’s time in Vegas, but here’s hoping that they come back again some time in the not too distant future. Rainbow Six: Blackpool would be a good one.

Kids enjoy most stuff that has anything to do with Disney - at least, they should do anyway! Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End isn’t a great title, but it has enough to keep them entertained.

Haze £24.99
08 Jun
If you’re sick of first person shooting game, you may want to look away now - PlayStation 3 title Haze is yet another one. In what looks a little bit like some kind of drug, your character (Shane Carpenter) runs on Nectar which gives you enchanced abilities.
Your begin your fight by heading to South America to battle a vicious rebel faction, The Promise Hand. To begin with everything looks fine, but things very quickly start to appear a little strange…

The Guitar Hero series is incredibly popular, and with Rock Band on the scene there’s now some genuine competition for it to contend with. Before Guitar Hero IV next year, we are to be treated to two new band-related games.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (with a wireless guitar) is the first to be released - this contains some of the band’s greatest hits to play along to, as well as more tunes from others who have either toured or influenced them.

Conflict: Denied Ops £14.99
06 Jun
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to stop a third-world country from gaining control of a supply of nuclear weapons. Luckily you have a partner to help, so it’s not all bad news.
In fact, you can switch between either character at any time and take advantage of each individual’s skills and weapons - each agent must work together to create the perfect team (a bit like Army Of Two actually).

NBA 2K7 £9.99
05 Jun
Even though NBA 2K7 is a little bit out-of-date it’s still one of the best basketball games on the PS3 - which isn’t that difficult, as there’s not a lot to choose from! It’’s right up there with NBA Live 08, I’d say.
With the ability to compete with other players all over the world via the wireless network and expanded player support for up to 10 players, this is fantastic value.
SoftUK are selling this game for £9.99 - click here for more details.
