A telly in your pocket

Nobody is more cynical than me about 3G - specifically, the networks' foolish belief that people will pay buckets of cash for entertainment on the move. But there are signs that they're moderating their expectations (and their prices).

Vodafone has just launched Sky Mobile TV and, whaddya know, it's a good 'un. Never mind that they promised us mobile TV at the launch of 3G in November 2004. This one's the real deal and, best of all, it doesn't cost a fortune. Free until the end of August, it will cost, at max, just a fiver a week thereafter. Read the full review in today's paper.

In games, New Super Mario Bros may not be the most innovative game ever to hit the DS (in fact, it might be the least innovative) but this port of the classic Mario platforming adventure is stunning in its execution and thoroughly addictive.

FlatOut 2 (PS2/Xbox) revisits the Destruction Derby-style mayhem of the original racer and, bar a few glitches and over-sensitive handling, is well worth a test-drive. OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast (PS2/Xbox/PC) brings the coin-op classic back to life: nothing really new here but glorious fun in short spurts.
