Many of the PS3 launch titles are actually still very playable, even now. Resistance: Fall Of Man was definitely a highlight and now that the sequel is on the horizon, it’s well worth taking a look at.

After you’ve completed the epic single player storyline which sees Britain and America join up to fight a horrific species of unknown origin, take it online and battle your friends (or enemies!) in the multiplayer arenas.

The DS is a great little console and is very unique to boot – which means it’s one of the only systems where games are tailor made for it. You have your Brain Training, Hotel Dusk and Elite Beat Agents titles that might not work as well elsewhere.

Doodle Hex is the newest unique game to appear. In it you must draw magical runes in order to win a mystical prize. It sounds very easy, but is in fact incredibly addictive. Over 250 challenges totalling well over 100 hours of gameplay mean you shouldn’t get bored soon either!

It might surprise you to learn that in order to use a PlayStation 3 you’ll need a controller. The Official Wireless Sony Black SIXAXIS Controller was the first to be released for the console.

Sadly it doesn’t include rumble feedback (although the DualShock 3 wireless controller does), but works just as any other PlayStation controller has. Well, to be precise.

If you fancy this, click here to get it for just £14.95 from The Game Collection.

Some of the best fun you can have is smashing your car into another one. Not in real life, of course, but in the Burnout series – with slow-motion replays from every angle, they really do look fantastic.

Burnout: Dominator takes what’s been right with every title in the series up to this point (getting rid of the annoying Crash mode in later games) and takes it to the next level. Great fun.

Titles like those in the NBA Live series never really change that much over time. Generally, you’ll get an updated roster and maybe one or two new features. If it ain’t broken, why fix it – right?

Well NBA Live 08 is pretty much what you’d expect. A newly updated roster is present and correct – however, you also get brand-new national teams to control and all-new NBA challenges from the 2006-2007 season.

SoftUK have this PlayStation 2 title priced at just £7.99 – for more information, click here.

NASCAR isn’t all that popular in this country, but for those that do enjoy it NASCAR 08 will be a game they will enjoy. Get ready to take the wheel of the new car and drive your way to the NEXTEL Cup championship!

An all-new career mode and the ability to test and tune your car until you are 100% satisfied with it makes for one heck of a driving experience.

Click here to get this PS2 game for £7.99 from SoftUK.

PlayStation 3 owners might be interested to know that NASCAR 08 is currently available for £16.39. It’s not one of the better titles on the console, but it’s a good price.

Need For Speed: Prostreet is the best Need For Speed game in quite some time – this isn’t particularly difficult, as most of the other releases have been average to poor. Yes, even Carbon.

Although there’s no online multiplayer mode (which is quite unacceptable if you ask me), there’s a good variety of cars to choose from and a large amount of tracks to race on in different cities around the world.
