FIFA 2010 Nintendo DS, £24.99

After the award-winning 09 version, FIFA 10 is even better! The game has been enhanced so that it mirrors real-life football, with more sophisticated ball control and improved player interaction. On attack, players now analyse space more effectively, curve their runs in an attempt to stay onside, create passing lanes naturally, and drive for more variety in attacking options. On defense, new concepts like position priority enable defenders to multitask so dangerous spaces left open by teammates out of position are covered. Other new features include 360-degree dribbling, more accurate passing and authentic shooting.

'Totally wicked! The graphics are brilliant and the players' moves are awesome. Me and my brother are addicted to it.' Charlie aged 11
