Crave old-school, 2D platform-hopping action? Look no further than yon sweeping revamp of the popular DS outing, which adds ice-flinging penguin costumes, flight-inducing propeller suits and - most importantly - simultaneous four-man multiplayer. While a largely predictable throwback, we can't fault the polished action, or urge to jack buddies' coins and magic mushrooms.

Blackberry Tour
From: RIM, www.rim.com
$199.99 with two-year contract
Rating: 4
While rivals like the iPhone 3G S put pleasure first, said smartphone - aimed at working professionals - gets right down to business. Check its extensive world calling support, QWERTY keyboard and slick 2.4-inch display, with GPS options, on-demand software purchases, geo-tagged photos and expandable microSD storage simply welcome extras. Shame about the lack of touchscreen and WiFi functionality, though.

Dirt 2
For: PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
From: Codemasters,www.codemasters.com
Rating: 3 ½
What insurance? The antithesis of shiny, chromed-out simulations like Gran Turismo, this ballsy off-road racer amps up the volume on the mud-spattering special effects, eye-popping stunts and cock-rock soundtrack with spectacular effect. Though the title's ostentatious approach won't please all, simply pair with an energy drink to send adrenaline levels surging.
