REVIEW: Captain America: Super Soldier (Xbox 360, PS3)
In the 2011 "Summer of Superheroes" at your local cinema, the big screen Captain America adaptation is arguably the most hotly anticipated of the lot. Veering away from the main plot of the movie to focus on Captain America's earliest missions, Captain America: Super Soldier takes a slightly different tact to other movie-tie ins.

The once-mighty SEGA has nailed its colours to the “Casual, internet” gaming mast, with the launch of PlaySEGA – a little portal rammed with simple games and colourful logos that might just hold the average teenager’s attention long enough for a game to finish downloading.
