In games, Fifa Street 2 (PS2/Xbox) returns with more four-on-four freestyle footy - better than last year's stunted version but still missing a few tricks. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (Nintendo DS) revisits the GBA classic Superstar Saga for the DS. Although it fails to really take advantage of the DS hardware, it's an engaging romp, mixing simple RPG, platforming and the familiar M&L humour.

Tak 3: The Great Juju Challenge (PS2/Xbox) is another perky installment in the kid-friendly platforming series, augmented by multiple playable characters. Mark Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure (PS2/Xbox) gets points for possibly the most convoluted title in a videogame, though it fails to explain it's about a kid earning respect from gangs as a grafitti artist. While it's an intriguing mix of Prince of Persia acrobatics and Def Jam Vendetta brawling, it's undone by an unwieldly camera and tedious grafitti tagging.
