WipeOut HD Fury is one of the most fully-featured and entertaining downloadable titles I've seen in quite some time. It's sprawling, incredibly fun and astonishingly gorgeous - and, with the Fury expansion pack, it's even bigger (the Fury pack adds nearly the same amount of content on top of the existing gameplay). It comes free with PlayStation Plus or is available easily with your £20 card. I promise you you won't look back.

I try my very best to complete all my games - and usually do - but there has been a tremendous number of great games in 2009 and more set to come in 2010, my amount of uncompleted games is starting to build up on me.

It seems also that even with Assassin's Creed II on its Christmassy way to me, I can't bring myself to play any more of the first - I've done three assassinations and I'm convinced the game has nothing fresh to offer me. It's disappointing, then, that I will probably play both games in reverse order.

Infamous throws so many enemies at you, you'll be having so much fun blowing them up to care much about their physics, man. :)

Resistance 2, however, is sort of glitched-realistic. There's a torso before an elevator in one of the levels that CRAWLS slowly on its intestines because they keep colliding.

It all depends on two things really - how good Sony's digital distribution service turns out to be, and how large your UMD collection is. If your collection is big, then you'll probably want to get the 3000, but that large memory and trendy design makes the GO the go-tothing if you're a media person. Don't forget that it is basically a Bluetooth device too - you can sync a DualShock 3 or SIXAXIS to the Go and play games with that, or sync it to your phone, keep your phone in your pocket and essentially use the Go as a phone (when it's actually a glorified bluetooth headset). Wait until the Go has been out for a bit, so you can get a feel for its reception, I'd say.

Mass Effect is something that I really love, and I will definitely take a look at this. BioWare should be commended for releasing this as well as working hard on the sequel.

The final boss fight of inFAMOUS was awesome, and the fights in Ratchet and Clank games are always fantastic (even the individual levels are awesome in my opinion). Metal Gear Solid 4's fights are always creative.

It all hinges, I suppose, on how you define 'epic'. In my opinion, any boss fight that you enjoy is fantastic, and thus an 'epic' boss fight is hard to define. The boss battle I hear people repeatedly reference is The End from MGS3. He never kills you, his sniper rifle is loaded with tranquiliser bullets and when you're defeateed he just takes you back to your cell and waits for your return, you have to outhink him as you fight...but it is never really 'fighting' as you spend half the fight avoiding his watchful eye and the other half getting the occasional hit back on him.

Not to mention the fact that the boss fight can be avoided entirely in two distinctly seperate ways - if you snipe The End in an earlier scene the fight is replaced with hordes of enemies, or (and this is the best one) simply turn your console off and don't come back to it for a week, after which The End dies of old age!

The above example is a boss fight that certainly makes you think, but is it 'epic'? If you decide not to use the above two methods and attempt to battle the End, only to find that you're, say, rubbish with a sniper rifle, you can get stuck at this point and give up on the game entirely. Conversely, if one gives up on the game and comes back in a month when they decide for another crack, The End has of course died by this point, but is that a blessing or a curse? The player no longer has to deal with The End, which was the main reason he gave up. But the player is simultaneously robbed of knowing if they could ever have beaten The End, and will not be as prepared for fighting the other Cobra Unit members.

Such a fight affects both the game and the player in a pronounced and ingenious way, and deserves its title as 'epic'.

Its PS3 successor MGS4 is full of amazing boss fights in which you are pitted against your friends, the elements, and even yourself. Add to that an end boss fight that makes you feel for the characters in every conceivable way, plus a scene where Snake must 'fight' his way through a deadly corridor (I shan't say more) which induces actual pain upon the player (no joke) and is most definitely an epic scene, if not then an epic boss fight follows it.

Resistance 2 includes many boss fights that test the player - one is against a creature as tall as a building whereas another is an enemy you cannot kill for about two-thirds of the time you fight it. The battles in Dead Space are also gigantic, challenging and incredible, but as they are giant monsters rather than the scary, moaning normal Necromorphs, they are not scary and therefore do not add to the game's intention of being scary.

Game Sharing is a way for you to play with someone who does not have the game by streaming it to their PSP for the duration of a multiplayer game. In order to gameshare you must be playing a game that supports it. In this case, you are. :)

Then, activate the feature in the game you are playing. both PSP's WLAN switches (left side on the original, top right on the Slim & Lite) should be on.

Your friend, who should be standing somewhere nearby, should be on the PSP's Home menu and select [Game] > [Game Sharing].

The two PSPs will them communicate with one another, yours will stream the game and your mate can play with you!

Of course, multiplayer works much bettewr when your friend actually has the game...I personally think of Game Sharing as a way to try out the game.

Game installs do take up a lot of room, but you should also minimise the amount of music and videos you have on it. A lot of MP3 files and movies can use up a lot of space very quickly. You should try and set up a stream from your PC so you can still access your tunes, but they do not impede your hard drive's capacity.
