I only just found out NFS: Hot Pursuit is developed by the guys behind the Burnout series...I was glad to hear the police chases were back but now I'm really pumped for this game. It should be brilliant fun in theory, will wait for the reviews to roll in.

I cannot wait, NFS:HP was one of the most entertaining game son the PS1, but then NFS went and got caught in the Fast and Furious craze. Burnout 3 was the best driving game on the PS2, and Burnout Paradise is the game I have spent the most hours playing on the PS3, so with their track record (no pun intended) it should be a corker of a game.

Super Scribblenauts for the DS is fantastic. The original had a couple of control issues (though the word bank was insane), this game has fixed the control issues, enlarged and diversified the word bank, all leading to a very clever game. I only played 3 levels in about 20 minutes, as the title screen alone is worth just playing with (try typing in combos like vampire and garlic, pirate and ninja etc. great fun.)

Force Unleashed 2 was disappointing to say the least.

I expect more than four levels from a full price new release game.

Agreed. I finished it 4 hours 30 minutes on medium difficulty. The challenges aren't that exciting. Trading this one straight in.

Mate of mine bought the new Naruto Ninja Storm game.

For a fighting game with only one actual attack button (circle) its decent, and some of the fights are actually better and more detailed in the game than the anime, and definitely easier to follow than the manga (which I find annoying at the best of times). Also cuts all the crap time wasting from the anime.

Might be owrht picking up for $50-$60 in a few weeks/months for Naruto fans.
