NFL Tour is from the same team that brought you FIFA Street, so you won’t be shocked to learn that it’s a little bit on the crap side. If you’re a fan of the sport you’ll probably get some enjoyment out of it though.
This could be considered a sequel to the NFL Street series, except that the NFL Street titles were actually half-decent. Big disappointment.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is part prequel, part sequel. This is because events run both at the same time as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas and after that first game has concluded.
Team leader Logan Keller has been replaced by a character known as Bishop, who has more experience and is more deeply involved with the story. He can be customised before starting the campaign, and so can the person you control in the multiplayer mode – which is absolutely brilliant online.
Click here to get the XBox 360 version, or click here to buy the PlayStation 3 release – both of which are £17.99 each at Play.com.
Even though you can download new songs from the online SingStore, you can almost 100% guarantee that separate SingStar titles will still be released on the PS3 as well.
SingStar: Volume Two is, surprisingly enough, the second to appear on the next-generation console. There’s a couple of new features to be found (a new harmony duet mode and the ability to browse the SingStore via the PSP), as well as 30 more songs to sing.
Instore at Comet you can pick this up, with a couple of microphones, for £14.99. You can also get the other PlayStation 3 SingStar game (that we featured yesterday, but which has since disappeared online) for £9.99.
With the sequel on the horizon (which you can get for £29.99 as part of the hot PlayStation 3 preorders we featured last month), now seems as good a time as any to pick up MotorStorm – especially at this price.
This racing game takes place at the fictional MotorStorm Festival in Monument Valley where you must win a series of off-road races to become the overall winner. Interestingly this title holds the world record for most amount of vehicles in a racing game, with a total of seven kinds available.
Click here to buy this game for the reduced price of £7.99 at The Game Collection. Cheap games like this are easy to recommend, as the online mode gives it extra life.
If you’ve never played a SingStar game before, they’re basically karaoke titles for the PlayStation consoles – this particular SingStar is the first to appear on the PlayStation 3.
With 30 tracks on the disc to sing along to (from artists like The Killers, Radiohead, and U2), and countless more available from the online SingStore, you’ll be annoying enthralling your neighbours in no time.
Click here to get Singstar (with 2 microphones) for £9.99 from Comet – choose the "Collect from store" option to save on postage.

Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows is due for release on the 24th of October, and sees our favourite Marvel superhero return for another free-roaming game. Yay for him.
Venom has returned to New York to infect the city with an army of symbiotes, so S.H.I.E.L.D. have quarantined it to prevent the infection from spreading. Spider-Man has to work with heroes and villains (much like in Spider-Man: Friend Or Foe) to track down Venom and stop him.

Although the TV series is OK, even if it is getting a little tiresome, Lost: The Video Game is a big steaming pile of turd. If the shortness of it doesn’t annoy you, then the loading screens surely will – there’s hundreds of them!
The graphics are good though, and fans will get the most out of it, as you’d expect. I feel that I have to mention the frankly laughable voice talent as well, because Locke is played in a very odd way and Sawyer sounds like Huckleberry Finn.
Play.com are selling this PS3 title for £11.99 – click here for more details.
