Civilizations has long been a franchise that has been predominantly a PC-only affair for some time, so the appearance of a specially designed console version called Sid Meier’s Civilization: Revolution is a welcome one.
This is a turn-based strategy game where you take control of one civilisation from a total of 16, and lead them through from prehistory all the way up to the near future. Also, gameplay has been simplified to make it easier for newcomers to get to grips with.

I’ll warn you in advance that Final Fantasy XI Online: Wings Of The Goddess is an expansion pack that requires a copy of Final Fantasy XI Online before it will work. And that’s not the only thing you’ll need.
As it’s an online multiplayer game, you’ll need a subscription to the service as well - and this costs around £8 a month. All in all it could work out a bit costly, however if you’re already playing it then this pack seems a bit more worthwhile.

Too Human £19.99
19 Sep
Even though it’s only been out for a couple of weeks, the price of Too Human is starting to come down very quickly - this isn’t a good sign, and to be honest with you it’s actually a disappointing title.
There was a delay of around nine years in this getting released, but the final product has a poor combat system and sub-standard boss battles. The graphics are good though, if that’s your sort of thing…

The XBox 360 version of Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath features an exclusive "Kane’s Challenge" mode not found on the PC release. Here you choose one faction to control and are pitted against all others across ten challenges.

There’s not many decent games that make use of the Wii Zapper, but The House Of The Dead: 2 & 3 Return is right up there as one of the best. Can you imagine anything better than blasting a zombie’s head off from close range? Exactly!
