That Doctor Who's a DS card

A couple of sunny days and the whole country seems to be covered in pasty-toned people, spread-eagled on the ground and wearing far too few clothes. Summer has started in the UK and the only prediction is sales of after-sun are going to rocket.

When it comes to pocket gamer releases, though, there's not much incentive to stay indoors either.

Although there's a good batch of games out this Friday – especially for DS, which sees lawyer sim Apollo Justice, film tie-in Speed Racer and girl craze High School Musical out – the cupboard is looking increasing bare as we move further into May.

And it's not just in Europe. In the US, there are only two PSP games currently listed for the whole of month, while the DS has to make do with a 'massive' five; although film tie-in Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian should at least provide some entertainment.

Indeed, in the UK, the only game reliably listed for release next week is Doctor Who: Top Trumps. We can only assume the manipulation of the space-time continuum has transported all the competition into a black hole. That must be a Sneaky Commercial Move rating of 100.
