• New Release Round-Up: 12th November 2010

  This week's new GAME releases see you engage in secret Cold War battles, use your body as the controller, speed around an amusement park in space, and manage your own community...

  Opping mad

  The biggest-selling action FPS series of all time returns with Call of Duty: Black Ops (X360, PS3, Wii, PC, DSi, DS Lite). It sees you battling in secret conflicts across the globe as elite soldiers in deniable operations under the veil of the Cold War.

  Black Ops also features the franchise's highly praised multiplayer component, offering fast-paced combat with more features than ever before.

  You are the controller

  Kinect for Xbox 360 (X360) brings games and entertainment experiences to life in new and extraordinary ways as your body and voice become the controller. Kinect uses full-body tracking to put you at the centre of the action, with your body movements and voice commands mirrored in-game.

  Kinect comes with Kinect Adventures, which sees you jump, dodge and kick your way through exciting adventures in a variety of exotic locations.

  Going for gold

  Sports party game Kinect Sports (Requires Kinect) (X360) features Soccer, Bowling, Boxing, Beach Volleyball, Table Tennis and Track and Field events.

  Play solo or with friends, using your body as the controller as you compete to become the star player.
  

  Tear up the dance floor

  Dance Central (Requires Kinect) (X360) features over 90 dance routines and 600 moves, plus tracks from the world's hottest artists!

  Without any plastic instruments or mats to worry about, this is possibly the most immersive dance video game ever, letting your feet do the talking, with no controller in sight.

  Animal magic

  Kinectimals (Requires Kinect) (X360) invites animal lovers of all ages to build fun, lasting and interactive relationships with a selection of cute pets, including a lion and a Bengal tiger.

  Your new best friends will react to your body gestures and voice commands as you play with and train them.

  Take the wheel

  Kinect Joyride (Requires Kinect) (X360) lets you go on the ride of your life - with no steering wheel required.

  You'll pump your hands forward for speed, and bend and move to hug the curves and perform stunts in this relentless kart racer, which offers solo and competitive multiplayer options.

  Sim-ple life

  A strategic life simulation game, The Sims 3 (Wii) lets you create your own Sims, give them unique personalities and control their destinies. As you guide them through life you'll complete challenges, customise environments and explore your neighbourhood to discover its secrets.

  For the first time ever, you can also share the fun with a friend in the co-op buddy mode, or compete against three others in the Life Moments Game.

  Blue blur

  In Sonic Colours (Wii, DSi, DS Lite), the diabolical Dr. Eggman has abducted an alien race and is harnessing its powers to fuel a sinister plot for world domination.

  As Sonic, it's up to you to use these alien powers for the force of good and foil his plans. It's a fast-paced adventure across an interstellar amusement park featuring imaginative power ups and explosive boss fights.
