These figures will then remember their progress, regardless of what platform they are being used on.It is available on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC and 3DS, along with a browser-based companion game.

Older gamers may be more interested in the dogfighting action of Namco Bandai’s Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, the adrenaline-fuelled racing of Microsoft’s Forza Motorsport 4 or the footballing antics of Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2012.

Also out today is Dead Rising 2: Off The Record (Capcom), Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge (505 Games), Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition (Rockstar Games) and Spider-Man: Edge of Time (Activision).
