Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe features fighters from both the Mortal Kombat franchise and DC Universe, in a fight to see who the superior faction is. Hopefully you’ll now be able to finally answer such questions as who would win in a battle to the death between Batman and Scorpion, or how well Superman and Jax match up.
The Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe: Collector’s Edition is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and comes with some extra goodies. A bonus DVD looks at the making of the game and a 16-page comic book titled "Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe: Beginnings" shows how the fight came about.

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!
Not only do you get accurate arcade versions of the two titles, there’s also a new "extreme" mode which has tougher enemies and a smaller blast radius on the shotgun.

Smash Court Tennis 3 £7.73
31 Mar
Smash Court Tennis 3 is the very first game in the series to appear on a next-generation console – even though its now been out for quite some time, this title is still considered by many to be one of the best tennis simulations on the XBox 360.
All the top players are included to play with on more than a dozen real-world courts and championships, plus you can battle other gamers around the world across XBox Live – always good for a laugh!

Whilst the XBox 360 Arcade, with Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Game Of The Year Edition, we featured the other day is a great way to get introduced to the delights of the Microsoft console, hardcore gamers will probably be more interested in the XBox 360 Elite.
A 120GB hard drive is the major selling point of the system, but I have to admit that the black finish makes it look slightly more easy-on-the-eye than the standard white version – that could just be me though!
If you fancy an XBox 360 Elite, with Resident Evil 5 and two XBox 360 wireless controllers, click here to buy one for £209.59 from Amazon.
NBA Live 09 From £8.75
29 Mar
NBA Live 09 is the 2008 installment in the NBA Live series. As with pretty much every release, this comes with a whole host of new features which help improve the game a great deal – here’s hoping that they never run out of ideas!
Key amongst these new introductions are the 5-on-5 online mode, the ability to replay key games from the past, and a feature called NBA Live 365 which will keep rosters and form as up-to-date as is humanly possible.

With all this bleeding recession nonsense going on, Nintendo have decided to raise the price of the Wii by £20 from the 1st of April – you can’t blame them to be honest, as the pound is quite pathetic at the moment.
If you haven’t got one yet, every system sold comes with a copy of the fun Wii Sports and a Wii Remote. This can be played by anybody, no matter their age, as proved by all these stories you hear of old folk having a go.
Asda are selling a Nintendo Wii, with Carnival: Funfair Games and Wii Play (which comes with another Wii Remote), for £172 – click here for more details. This offer will end on Monday, by the way.
Although the Arcade is the smallest model of XBox 360 currently available, it’s very useful to both gamers on a budget and newcomers to the scene. Plus it comes with something the other versions don’t – five games (Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man and Uno).
Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Game Of The Year Edition is pretty much the same as the regular release, except that it comes with four additional multiplayer maps. As the online mode is one of the best things about the game, this is a very welcome bonus…

Although the next-generation releases are superior in terms of graphics and online multiplayer capabilities, the Call Of Duty team have still found the time to develop an exclusive PlayStation 2 version of Call Of Duty: World At War (titled Call Of Duty: World At War – Final Fronts).
This features 13 missions set near the end of World War II, and provides a "companion piece" to World At War. Aside from the two U.S. campaigns in the Pacific and Western Europe, Final Fronts also includes a third campaign involving the British advance on the River Rhine.
To get this game for £11.69 from Argos, click here. Maybe not as good as the other console versions, but definitely one of those cheap games that PS2 owners will want to add to their collection.
No More Heroes £9.99
28 Mar
It’s an unfortunate fact that thus far the Wii doesn’t have too many "must have" titles available for it, although I’m sure that there will be more in the future. Maybe.
Thankfully No More Heroes falls into this bracket with some exceptional writing, witty satire, a unique visual style, excellent controls, and a very good soundtrack. The only disappointing thing is that all of the blood has been taken out, as us Europeans are a bit sensitive apparently.
Game have this Wii game available for £9.99 – for more information, click here.
