Games
It's horribly unbalanced as fighters go, but doesn't make the insane three-team matchups any less fun to play. The team shares a single 'super meter' between them, meaning that deploying the right characters at the right time is crucial. Once all three are knocked out, the match is lost. It's not all straight punches and kicks mind - expect fireballs, zombies and sprites that actually take up the entire screen.
Based on the Dreamcast version (and not the 'interesting' PS2 and Xbox versions), it provides access to all 56 fighters from the off, and the same excellent netplay as Super Street Fighter II HD Remix. A variety of HD smoothing options and widescreen displays make this the best version of a classic. Priced £11.99.
Droplitz: Released on Xbox Live back in June, this is a horrendously addictive puzzle game of connecting pipes together so drops reach the bottom of the screen. It comes with various modes and online play, and offers a lot of game for £7.99.

Red Faction: Guerrilla: Demons Of The Badlands: This prequel chapter adds new single-player content for the game, including a new playable character and seven new weapons for £6.29.

Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood: You can now play a segment of the Wild West shooter released earlier this year. We called it "unabashedly short-lived and linear" in our review, but that didn't stop it being plenty of fun. Definitely worth checking out.
