Attention may be focused on Heavy Rain reviews this week, but with Sony's ambitious adventure still two weeks out from release the highlight in shops is 2K's BioShock 2, recipient of an 8/10 review earlier this week. You can also check out our latest face-off if you're unsure which version to buy.

And if you are swayed by our claims of excellent combat, you might want to consider forking out for the lovely special edition, which comes in a butterfly-embossed box, has a goddamn LP in it and will definitely impress your wife or significant other despite your concerns to the contrary.

Elsewhere, SEGA launches Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll this Friday, so watch out for a review soon, while Darwinia+ is the pick of the downloads. Go on and support a dedicated bunch by having a crack at that. Or, get drunk and download Frogger HD on PSN tonight instead for no reason. Good times.

  • BioShock 2 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
  • Phantasy Star Zero (DS)
  • Star Ocean: The Last Hope (PS3)
