Kingdom Under Fire: Circle Of Doom is a new chapter in the Kingdom Under Fire series which has been designed exclusively for the XBox 360. Sadly, instead of sticking to a strategy-based game the developers have decided to make this a hack and slasher. Good move – not.

A good idea implemented is the ability to get three of your friends to join your game via XBox Live, but it’s not really enough to save it.

For too long now the FIFA games have been miles behind the Pro Evolution series in terms of greatness – thank the Lord then that FIFA 08 bridges the gap quite a bit.

Although it’s still not 100% perfect, the improved controls and graphics (as well as the very good online multiplayer) make this the best FIFA title for some time.

Instore at Tesco you can pick up either the XBox 360 or PlayStation 3 version for £15 each.

Final Fantasy VII is often regarded as the best of the series, and for good reason as well. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which is a PSP exclusive, takes us on an exciting journey through the origin of the saga and completes the experience of a fantastic game.

The Lego Star Wars games were so popular that hopes were high some of the other big-screen hits would get the same treatment. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is the first of two new Lego titles this year – the other being Lego Batman!

Gameplay are selling this title on the PlayStation 3, Wii and XBox 360 for £29.99 each. If you spend over £30 though, you can get £5 off (just buy this gift wrap to take you over the threshold) by entering the voucher code gugheq6xe.

The PSP seems to be getting turned into a multi-purpose machine, instead of just a games console – you’ll soon even be able to turn it into a GPS receiver!

Passport To Prague is another unique title available for the system, and does exactly what you’d think it does. It provides a virtual guide to the city, highlighting some of the best things for you to see and do.

Asda are selling this for just £3.93 – click here for more details.

I can’t stand companies who rush shoddy games out so that they can get them on the shelves in time for big film releases. The stupid thing is that people buy them – why? 9 times out of 10 it will be a complete joke (look at The Golden Compass, for example)!

This brings me nicely to Iron Man. The film is not too bad, but the game is a big pile of crap! With graphics that would make early PlayStation 2 games look advanced, it’s really a big mess. Only fans and mentalists should even consider a purchase.

Click here to get the Wii version for £16.97, click here to buy the PSP release for £16.97, click here to get the PlayStation 3 version for £22.97, or click here to buy the XBox 360 release for £22.97 – all from the lovely chaps at Tesco.

Ninja Gaiden was a very good game for the original XBox – the sequel, Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, is nowhere near as good as its predecessor. It was a launch title for the PlayStation 3, so I suppose that’s some sort of excuse. Kind of.

I must admit that the graphics are a big step up though, and it’s a bit harder to complete than the first game, but it still doesn’t match up to the heights of Ninja Gaiden.

If you fancy this, after considering what I’ve said, click here to buy it for £16.97 from Tesco.

The Wii seems tailor made for certain types of games, and fishing is one of the obvious ones. Sadly, you end up looking like a plonker to everyone who sees you – but who cares as the "sport" has never been more fun (or dry!) as this.

Fishing Master brings arcade-style fishing to the console and has over 100 different kinds of fish to catch. To become the master of the fishing world, compete in over 30 competitions – once you’ve done that, battle three friends in the head-to-head fishing derby mode (there’s no online multiplayer, annoyingly).
