For all you gaming addicts looking for a fix, check out these treats:
Opoona - Wii
A very unusual little game for the Wii that combines community and relationship-building elements with a traditional RPG - a bit like, say, Animal Crossing but with a proper adventure to work through. Even better is the way it uses the Wiis Remote and Nunchuck, allowing you to move with the analog stick and battle by swinging the remote.
Crazi Taxi: Fare Wars - PSP
We reckon this is just about old enough now

As the barrels begin to slow, no longer spewing vapour-hot metal into the room, you begin to assess the damage. Like that lobby scene, the joy is in the pause after the carnage.
The concrete pillars are cracked, showing the metal underneath. A crumpled drinks can is spinning on the spot, the only noise in this echo chamber. And then there are the corpses: ten, maybe 15 dead replicants, slumped or sprayed against the walls.

As the barrels begin to slow, no longer spewing vapor-hot metal into the room, you begin to assess the damage. Like that lobby scene in the Matrix, the joy is in the pause after the carnage.

F1 2012 is starting up its engines in the metaphorical pits. We've played it - and the differences over last year's game are surprisingly pronounced. Head on in for single-player and multiplayer impressions. There's also a trailer of the new Champions Mode with in-game footage to watch!
