Some of the games based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ adventures have actually been rather good.

Sadly, TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles isn’t one of them – I blame the fact that it’s based on a film for it’s crapiness.

The year is 2013. The U.S. Army has been preparing – and can now deploy – the Integrated Warfighter System (IWS), a complex combination of forefront technologies that transforms an individual soldier into the ultimate fighting force. IWS mixes advanced weapons systems, satellite communication devices and increased survivability into one fully integrated combat system that’s at long last primed for the true test of the battlefield. Combining the advantages of next-generation console technology with future military technologies, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter includes a wealth of innovative features, including the Cross-Com, a communication device attached to the soldier’s monocle and powered by satellite technology, which will deliver perpetual and complete battlefield awareness seamlessly within the action. Additionally, Ubisoft have used increased processing power to its fullest, with exciting graphics, lighting and textures, multi-windowing, and state-of-the-art physics.

In Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, players embody Captain Scott Mitchell as he commands the Ghosts and Special Forces allies armed with the IWS in the quest to save the president of the United States, retrieve stolen nuclear codes and eradicate a brutal band of renegade soldiers hell-bent on unleashing catastrophe. The game unfolds solely in Mexico City, where numerous, meticulously researched and detailed environments deliver complete immersion into the future of urban warfare. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter also includes multiplayer and cooperative gameplay with electrifying new elements, carrying on the Ghost Recon custom of setting the bar for multiplayer action.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter – Game Of The Year Edition contains some extra stuff not found in the original release – this includes 4 new coop missions, 2 new game types, 2 new camouflage patterns, 4 new character faces and 5 new weapons.

SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs captures the reality of contemporary warfare and builds upon the success of the multi-million unit selling SOCOM franchise. It boasts 3 Areas of Operation: Southern Asia, Northern Africa and Eastern Europe and is packed with over ten missions.

Driving the solo player experience, the newest streaming environment technology has allowed the team at Zipper Interactive to enlarge each mission area, making them up to 6 times bigger than in SOCOM 2 whilst allowing smooth advancement during mission gameplay. Multiple save points eradicate the need to replay a failed mission from the start.

And, for the first time, SOCOM 3 sees land and water vehicles play a key role. Vehicles can be commandeered by both players and AI and cover a variety of military and civilian vehicles including turret-equipped pickups and SEAL team military Humvee and SOC-R Assault Boats.

A groundbreaking new weapon customisation system allows players to utilise more than thirty different weapons and attachments which, when combined, provide almost a thousand potential customised combat executions. Greater maps, multiple routes to mission resolution and new team command actions ensure a richer, realistic more intense strategic warfare experience.

The time of prophecy has arrived. Evil is afoot and the wicked Master Gardal has designs to capture the famous Castle of Heaven: the supreme fortress constructed to protect the world from forces of darkness. The sole way for Gardal to breach the gates is by sacrificing the pure soul of Erwyn, a young boy cited in a millennia-old prophecy. Gardal and his minions have already caught the boy and imprisoned him to await execution. However Gardal didn’t forecast the assistance of Aira, Erwyn’s clairvoyant sister. To save her brother, Aira has sealed Erwyn’s soul inside an individual teardrop and changed the teardrop into a protective orb. Now, in order to free her brother she must safely lead the orb into the Castle of Heaven using a magical beam of light. Regrettably, sending the beam of light has used all of her strength and she can’t control it any longer… will you help her?

Take control of the beam of light to guide the orb through a challenging world of danger and adventure. It will not be simple, as Gardal’s minions Quiph and Morg will endeavour to block you at all costs. Avoid the traps set by Quiph while solving puzzles and riddles contrived to slow you down. Pass through swamps, journey over mountains, and visit castles and abandoned cities. Overcome the obstacles in your way, and change the orb’s form into wood to conquer water, or even metal when hardness is required. Do whatever it takes to save Erwyn and bring him back to the Castle of Heaven!

Ice hockey games are great, especially when a fight breaks out – nothing better than smacking someone round the head with a big glove.

I’m not the world’s biggest fan of the sport, but I can see the appeal in battering around a small puck with wooden sticks, even if most of this country can’t.
