Games released this Friday
Fable II (360)
With LittleBigPlanet out of the picture until November 5, Lionhead's action role-playing sequel should prosper.
Monopoly (PS2/360/Wii/PS3)
At least the computer will never knock the pieces off the board in a tantrum.
Dead Space (360/PS3/PC)
It may not be a sequel or a licence but EA's space-based survival horror still isn't exactly what you'd call original.
Far Cry 2 (360/PS3/PC)
It's got some of the best graphics ever for a first-person shooter, but does this sequel have the gameplay to match?
Transformers Animated (DS)
Hopefully this will be more than meets the eye, given the ugly graphics.
Midnight Club: L.A. (360/PS3/PSP)
Out in the busiest week of the year and with a resurgent Need For Speed due soon, has Rockstar's Club melted?
Disaster: Day Of Crisis (Wii)
We don't know why Nintendo bought Monolith Soft if it is not going to bother promoting any of its games.
Celebrity Sports Showdown (Wii)
A mini-game collection featuring C-list US celebs. Sounds cruel and unusual.
MotoGP 08 (PS2/360/PS3/PC)
Capcom takes over THQ/Climax's motorcycling licence, with the same game now appearing on all formats.
Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows (multi)
We'd like to say something about spider sense tingling here, but we've seen very little of this comic book tie-in.
What's Cooking? Jamie Oliver (DS)
Hopefully some manner of giant monster with a slow digestive track.
Star Ocean: First Departure (PSP)
Never before released in the West, this 1996 role-player remake is a handy introduction for the new 360 game.
