Thought the days of disc-swapping were over? Well, soon you may remember the days when you owned an Amiga and wanted to play Monkey Island when you play Mass Effect 2 from today. The game will require you to swap discs twice but the game’s so big, it hopefully won’t be a cause for concern.

For once I don’t have a long and probably boring anecdote about how I played a previous game in this series many years ago when I was a nipper.

Tuna Tossing. Just look at that for a moment. Doesn’t the idea strike fear into your heart? And yet, here it is; one of the ten mini-games available on Sega’s latest crazy concoction – Wacky World of Sports for Wii.

If you’ve ever wanted to see how far you could throw a fish and nobody ever gave you a chance, consider this your big break. You weirdo. So there’s Tuna Tossing,...
