UPDATE: Now included in this offer are Fight Night Round 3 and Resistance: Fall Of Man, on the PlayStation 3, for £9.79 each.
The very first Star Ocean game was never released outside of Japan, so the appearance of Star Ocean: First Departure was a welcome sight – it’s an updated version of it, with much improved graphics and some additional new features which make this well worth playing (even if you’ve somehow tried the original).
Pre-rendered backgrounds and 3D battle scenes are nice additions, but new playable characters, voice actors and dialogue add the most to the experience. Like I said, definitely worth a try even if you’ve mastered the title this is based on.

As a little bit of a taster for what type of games you can get on the PlayStation Network, Sony have a couple of PlayStation Network Collection packs available for the PSP. Each come with three titles from a particular genre, which can be played either alone or against others via the online multiplayer mode.
The PlayStation Network Collection: Power Pack contains Beats, flOw and Syphon Filter: Combat Ops. Click here to buy this for £4.98 delivered from Choices UK.
The same retailer is also selling the PlayStation Network Collection: Puzzle Pack (which contains Go! Puzzle, Go! Sudoku and Lemmings) for the same price – click here for more details.
There’s a small selection of Tesco £10 games that are more than worth taking a look at.
These probably won’t last long though, so get those orders in quick…

Sid Meier’s Civilization: Revolution
Based on the 2008 film of the same name, Iron Man features the voice talents of many of the cast from the movie (minus Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges) reprising their roles. Although this isn’t enough to save the game from being average, it’s always nice to hear "proper" voice work.
Frustrating controls, fairly shoddy graphics, and some very repetitive gameplay have seen this labelled as the worst title of 2008 by some – it’s maybe not that bad, it is still something only fans will enjoy.

Over at ShopTo you can get the PSP release (click here) for £9.99, or the PlayStation 2 version (click here) for £12.72. Finally, PS3 gamers can click here to order their release for the princely sum of £12.79 from Simply Games.
