Centre Court Meteor Smash features the Wimbledon Centre Court under attack from a killer meteor shower. It takes 8 minutes to put the brand new roof over the court in place, but until then it is down to you to save the grass from absolute destruction by batting the meteors away.

The game throws meteor after meteor at you for the 8 minutes it takes for the roof to close but any one that makes it past your racket will damage the grass. It takes only 3 meteors to ruin Wimbledon so you must use your racket to hit them away!

This is the latest free viral game released by T-Enterprise and can be found at http://www.t-enterprise.co.uk/wimbledonroof

To play this free game, just line the tennis racket up with the path of the meteor using your mouse and then left click to hit it away.

For every meteor you manage to hit, you get a point and can watch your score build up. They will come faster though and if you happen to let 3 through then you lose. The grass would be too damaged to play on.

What’s more, the new Wii version of Virtua Tennis 2009 has been made fully compatible with Wii Motion Plus - a precision device that attaches to the bottom of the Wii Remote putting the user much more in control of the game.

MotionPlus, acccording to the designers, can give you more freedom to place the ball exactly where you want it to go … It’s a more complete tennis gaming experience.”

Game designer Kenton Fletcher, said: “It had to have all the features the other versions did; the same online; the same in-game features. We didn’t want Wii owners to buy Virtua Tennis 2009 and say why have I only got half the game that the PS3 version has?”

And for those who think arcade style tennis games like Virtua Tennis could never satisfy the more competitive streak in them, the all new Online Ranking System (which sees players rising through the ranks and competing for the ultimate title on worldwide leader boards) is sure to make them think again.

TomTom has joined forces with Locutio Voice Technologies and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising (Fox L&M), to bring the original voice* of Homer Simpson to TomTom sat nav devices for the very first time.

On the road, Homer’s humorous, encouraging and sometimes unusual advice will guarantee that drivers will not only reach their destination on time, but have a lot of fun along the way. With an insatiable appetite as his motivation, Homer adds his own special words of wisdom for TomTom users, such as, “Take the third right. We might find an ice cream truck! Mmm…ice cream.” With Homer’s unpredictable and comical commands leading the way, drivers are guaranteed an unforgettable journey.

Homer Simpson is the latest character to join the growing line-up of voices available for use on devices made by TomTom, the world’s leading navigation solutions provider.  Included on the devices are up to 70 preloaded voices in 36 different languages, and now drivers can have Homer Simpson navigate them to any location, including specific points of interest. Homer’s voice is available for download immediately for £7.95 (€9.95 in Ireland).

Please visit http://www.tomtom.com/simpsons to find out more and hear samples of the voice. Current TomTom users can simply log into their TomTom HOME account to purchase the voice online.

It’s going to be great fun and if you’ve got the most points at the end of the season, you will be crowned champion and taken to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix for an all expenses paid, 5 star luxury trip of a lifetime.

The open-ended, free-roaming game puts you in the shoes of Cole McGrath, an everyday guy and urban explorer, in the aftermath of a huge disaster that destroys his hometown of Empire City. As Cole, you must first learn to use new found powers and then decide how you will use them.

After the explosion, Empire City falls into chaos and Cole must use his new powers and climbing agility. Along the way he will unravel an evolving mystery, experience fame and/or infamy and battle powerful, iconic villains. inFamous gives you the freedom to play how you want, whether that’s aggressively, tactically or stealthily (or indeed as a true-blue Hero (like Captain America/Superman/) or do you play as the Anti-hero guy (like Frank Miller’s Batman/Daredevil or Wolverine/ Punisher/Ghost Rider) who simply “gets things done” irrespective of the cost - be warned, however, that the city’s people and environment will react to what you do. Events will unfold based on the role you take in them and your actions will create broader reactions in the citizens and landscape around you.

Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the studio who gave PlayStation the acclaimed Sly Cooper franchise, inFamous brings you a new type of superhero – an uncertain man with the weaknesses of a normal human being. What will you turn Cole into? The choice is yours.

inFamous is now available for the PS3 from Amazon.co.uk - click on the banner below for the latest availability and prices.

With the advent of QWERTY keyboards and full touch screens; to 8MP cameras and beyond, today’s mobile phones are revolutionizing the way we communicate and the way we work; the Nokia N97 is the latest in a long chain of Nokia smart phones which has recently been announced by Phones4U — more information is available at http://www.phones4u.co.uk/Reviews/Nokia_N97/

Touch screen technology has caught the attention of everyone and the smooth scrolling introduced by the Apple iPhone and HTC Touch has now turned into a mini-revolution with all manufacturers coming out with their best efforts to capture the market share. So, it’s not surprising that conventional leader Nokia is not far behind. However, a unanimous problem with most touch screen phones is the difficulty of typing text messages and full emails. Somehow using fingers on the screen itself just doesn’t seem to work well.

The solution appears to be to take a full touch-screen technology mobile phone and mix it with a QWERTY keypad. This combined form factor does the trick and the fantastic result of this can be seen in the form of Nokia N97, release date confirmed by Phones4u as 26th June 2009.

If critics said that such a phone would be bulky, let them eat their own words, because Nokia N97 weighs just 150gms! It has an impressive internal memory of 32GB and has an expandable card slot for up to 16GB. Just imagine having a small computer in your hands that’s as powerful as your laptop. It also features Wi-Fi, 3G, 5MP camera with LED Flash, 3.5 mm audio jack, stereo speakers, GPS, accelerometer, handwriting recognition and even FM radio.

All this is neatly packaged with the latest Symbian OS 9.4 S60 rel.5. Viewing all formats of video files on the 3.5 inch resistive touch screen is surely going to be a fun experience. It is all set to compete against the ruling Apple iPhone and other mobile phones by Samsung, LG and HTC. It seems Nokia finally is ready with the perfect recipe for ruling the roost, even in the touch screen segment.

Phones4u are also running a free competition to win a Nokia N97 - http://www.phones4u.co.uk/Reviews/Nokia_N97/
