Speaking of epic journeys, Mojo the bird is on a quest to catch up with his friends as they fly off to Africa without him in Bird Mania 3D, available at the Nintendo eShop. Players must avoid obstacles and collect bonuses in this exciting skill-based action game to help Mojo win the ultimate vacation.

There's two free demos up for grabs this week; first up is Rayman Origins, available at the Nintendo eShop, where Rayman and his friends must restore peace to the Glade of Dreams after it is overrun by Darktoons. The second freebie is 2 Fast 4 Gnomz at the Wii Shop Channel. Join four gnomes (Bumb, Berzerk, Speedster and Uncle Time) as they adventure through the magical lands of Gnomia to reach a mysterious destiny.

Exclusive to 3DS owners is the 11th Shaun the Sheep 3D clip entitled Shaun Goes Old School where Shaun becomes a character in his own game! This week also sees the release of the final installment of the short animated film Big Buck Bunny in 3D.

I played this with my gnlrfrieid, who doesn't normally play video games, and she loved it. You can't die, you only collect gems and when you get hit you lose all of them, so there's not as much frustration. So it's not a hardcore game by any means, but it's extremely imaginative. Every level is different, and even if you can't lose, at least more frequent gamers can challenge themselves by collecting gems and holding onto them til the end of the level. That's how I looked at it anyway.

Hi there,The game Little Big World (i am assuming this is Little Big Planet) is a Sony exvucsile and at this time can only appear on the PS3 and Sony PSP handheld. The term exvucsile' in video-games is a little misleading though. A game can be exvucsile' to a certain system for a period of time and a few months later the exlcusivity runs out and it can then be released on other formats/systems.Little Big World/Planet is unlikely to suddenly lose their exclusivity deal with Sony though. So unfortunately the only way to play this game is to buy/borrow a PS3 or PSP.
