This week see’s the release of the electrifying inFamous (forgive me for that pun). There is also Terminator Salvation, if you can stomach it, the fun and long lasting Bloom Blox Party and a whole bunch of other releases.

inFamous (PS3) 29/5

From what I’ve seen of inFamous it’s one game that I would consider buying a Playstation 3 for. Sadly my lack of funds means that this isn’t possible right now, so instead I have to dream about sending out bolts of deadly electricity, sliding along power lines, and leaping around the stricken Empire City. For you lucky ones who own a PS3 to play it on (one of the few good exclusive games that the PS3 has got this year) the reviews are saying it’s a lot of fun so go and pick it up.

Terminator Salvation (PC, PS3, X360) 29/5

Ah, another film tie-in. It’s not often that you get one that’s actually good, and sadly Terminator Salvation isn’t one of the few good ones. For one it’s an incredibly short game, weighing in at just a few hours it’s not really worth the full asking price. Secondly there’s no Christian Bale, and thirdly it’s based on a pretty lacklustre film to begin with.

I wouldn’t bother.
Boom Blox Bash Party (Wii) 29/5

The sequel to Steven Spielberg’s Bloom Blox is packed with 400 levels, which is tremendous value. These levels come in a variety of new environments, such as underwater and outer space, populated by new characters and new shapes of blocks. The multiplayer modes are also far more extensive, with co-op and competitive areas. It sounds like a great game for kids and adults alike.
