Xbox 360/PS3 - 501 Games

Rugby world cup 2011 is an awesome console game in which you can play as  any of the teams who competed at the competition this year. As a Rugby fan myself this game is fantastic as it combines an easy learned control system with the best graphics in a Rugby game ever. Although this game is merely a prelude to the eagerly awaited Rugby 2012 ,developed by the same company, it is still very fun.

One Button Arthur (on-line) - Armor Games

One button Arthur is an enjoyable, highly addictive and at times frustrating game where you have the legendary king Arthur under the control of a single button.

This game does sound simple because it is controlled by the left mouse button but that isn't the case. In one button arthur you must lead Arthur on a quest through dungeon mazes and mountains with obstacles and enemies which constantly test you with puzzling challenges to reach the next level.

Backbreaker (PS3/XBOX 360) - Natural Motion

Backbreaker uses High definition graphics combined with Human body science to make the game more realistic than any other Football game before it.

Backbreaker has some similarities with Madden but has a third person camera to give you a more authentic experience of actually being on the pitch rather than the Madden one which is above the players and intended to be like a T.V camera.

The Sims 3 (if you have any questions please comment)  is a fun game that is almost entirely controlled by mouse. It is similar to The Sims 2 but has good improvements in the graphics and additions to clothing, house items etc... as well as excellent advances in the style of game play which allows your Sims to do more than they could before, whereas before you would have to get a cab into the town centre or other neighbourhoods and wait for 2 minutes as it slowly loads but now your Sims can roam wherever they like, there is no wait and even better you can drive there, your Sims can for the first time drive a car.

The game in whole is a life simulation were you create your Sim (person) or multiple Sims (people) were you can customise everything from their race, age, sex, name and appearance (Casual, formal, swimwear etc...) to their future aspirations in life and personality. Every field has many different choices to choose from. After creating your Sim you will advance to a town depending on which one you prefer and after choosing town you will choose a house.
