Flood

Flood was one of the most popular games last year and you can now pick it up for just a tenner. It features Quiffy, who must wander over platform levels collecting the trash and avoiding things that bounce, slither and wobble about - Psycho Teddies, for instance.

As if that isn't enough, there are also several running taps scattered around. You can dive underwater for a short time before having to come up for air, but the longer you take, the harder it gets to collect all the items. Luckily there is a sizeable arsenal of objects lying around to help you - grenades and time bombs, for example. You can even grab a spacehopper and bounce over dangerous areas.

Flood is an immensely enjoyable platform game. The graphics are detailed and humorous, and there are some excellent watery samples and sound effects. It's very easy to get into as well. At this price, you really can't go wrong.
