If you're one of those people that like to give friends a lift in your car boot or try to haggle with Argos workers using an offer they can't refuse, then you will probably love playing Mafia II. The sequel to the award-winning Mafia, this game puts you in the dark and shady world of organised crime and family values of another nature entirely. You assume the role of Vito, a downtrodden Italian American who is escaping a life of poverty by joining the Mafia. He soon learns that this is the only viable way for him to change his life around, attain wealth and get respect from...

When we were introduced to Kane & Lynch back in 2007, the good-cop-bad-cop thing had already been done to death in movies and TV shows. The flipside – and thus, the key interest in these characters – was that Kane & Lynch weren't cops. In fact, they were anything but good guys. In Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, you see the duo trying to lie low and at least attempt an honest living out of their recent problems. You play as Lynch, the middle aged, balding, loose cannon bad-ass who now resides in Shanghai. He's been hired to pull some 'job' but quickly realises it's beyond him so...

Americans love their football – despite it really being 'Rugby with Padding,' that is. But that's okay, because the people's enthusiasm for the sport is just as great as the Europeans' passion for football (sorry, 'Soccer'). As a result, the Madden series has been a staple for American gamers. It's no surprise then, that Madden 11 comes along with a slew of new features. For a start, the game introduces GameFlow, an all-new playcalling system that chooses the best play for your team's current situation. It's all based on authentic NFL game plans, and cuts down the amount of...

When a film franchise is popular enough to see a third outing hit national cinema screens, you can bet your bottom dollar that a computer game tie-in will be released to coincide with it. Fortunately enough, this particular film is Pixar Studios' amazing animation, Toy Story. And the video game tie-ins have never been too shabby either. So with this third adventure game you can expect quite a lot of entertaining fun. In the feature film Woody, Buzz Lightyear and their fellow toy friends are sent to a nearby nursery when childhood owner Andy grows up and moves out to go to...

We would say that Tiger Woods returns for another serene round of golf, but the competition is anything but mild-mannered. Everyone wants to bring home the desired Ryder Cup back to their trophy cabinet, and with the tournament founded in prestige rather than prize money winning is also a matter of pride. The Ryder Cup is a contest hosted by both Ryder Cup Europe LLP and the PGA of America, making this game a direct reflection of the international rivalry that will heat up. While Tiger Woods makes the play for the Americans, Northern Ireland star Rory McIlroy is leading the...
