One day there will be a game based on a film that will be good - probably on the same day that Satan skates to work.

The film of Iron Man isn’t too bad as far as comic book films go, but sadly the game is a big steaming pile of turd. It looks like the developers just wanted to get something out in time for the release of the movie, without actually considering making something resembling a half-decent game.

In order to get the XBox 360 version, all you have to do is click right here (the PlayStation 3 release of Iron Man is the same price, incidentally).

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to stop a third-world country from gaining control of a supply of nuclear weapons. Luckily you have a partner to help, so it’s not all bad news.

In fact, you can switch between either character at any time and take advantage of each individual’s skills and weapons - each agent must work together to create the perfect team (a bit like Army Of Two actually).

Click here to buy the PlayStation 3 version, or click here to get the XBox 360 release - both of which are £14.99 each at Play.com.

I’m pretty sure that the SingStar games were designed to make people (read, men who can’t sing) look like complete idiots. Not to say that it isn’t fun, just that it makes you look rather foolish.

SingStar: Anthems contains 20 new tracks to sing along to, with hits from such artists as: Girls Aloud, Queen, Charlotte Church, Bananarama, Cher, The Pussycat Dolls, and others.

The Grand Theft Auto series has been a huge success over the years, and the latest installment is very probably the best so far. Grand Theft Auto IV was hyped to the hill, but it turns out the hype was entirely justified.

With a much more interactive city than ever before, and a great online multiplayer mode, killing prostitutes and innocent bystanders has never been so much fun - The Simpsons Game, this ain’t!

Puzzle games are plentiful on the DS, so here’s another one to tickle your fancy - Puyo Pop Fever. Throw as many chains together as possible to crush your opponents, much like you would in Tetris - or Monster Bomber, or Puzzle Kombat (which can be found on Ultimate Mortal Kombat) for that matter.

You can play up to seven other people from the one cartridge, which is nice. It’s a pity that there’s no wireless network play, but we can’t have everything I suppose.

Peter Jackson’s King Kong was an alright film, even if the original was better (as is usually the case). The game is a very faithful interpretation of the movie and lets you go a bit deeper into certain parts of the story.

Even if it is a little bit on the easy side (think Lost: The Video Game easy), it just makes it more accessable to gamers of all ages. The voicework is good as well, if that’s something that interests you.

Asda have this game available for £8.93 - for more information, click here.

Tom Clancy not only writes decent books and gets them turned into good films, he also manages to find the time to lend a hand to the video game world - the Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell (thanks for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Tom!) series’ all have him to thank.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 sees the Mexican rebels from the first game return, but this time on US soil. It’s your job to stop a nuclear attack, and you only have 72 hours to do it in.

The Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 - Legacy Edition contains an extra disc which contains 60 new multiplayer maps, 62 new weapons, 16 new co-op campaigns and 8 new game modes.

Bioshock is quite simply one of the best games available for the XBox 360 console. It goes far beyond the shooting games we’ve been seeing recently to create a living, unique and unpredictable first person shooting experience.

Genetically modify your body to get fantastic (and sometimes disgusting) new abilities as you battle on towards deciding whether to expolit the survivors you stumble across, or to save them.

To get this game for £12.99 from The Game Collection, click here (incidentally, you may actually be able to get Bioshock cheaper in Currys, but stores have very limited stock).
