DVDfever takes a short on/off break...

Over the course of the next few weeks, so throughout March and into early April, there won't be regular updates during that time and the site will be updated as often as is humanly possible, but normal service is intended to resume by mid-April.

Fly the coop with Benjy Ferree on CD...

DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts reckons that while this album isn't 'easy' on first listening, it's a grower, just like Damien Rice's latest release.

Benjy Ferree: Leaving the Nest is online and out on CD now.

New DVDs and games out now and soon: Life and Lyrics on DVD...

First in this round-up this week is Life and Lyrics (£15.99, Universal), which is out this week and it's a hip-Hop centred drama from the UK. As a posse of South London DJs battle their rivals to the North, their leader Danny (So Solid Crew's Ashley Walters) falls for a beautiful singer from the other crew.

Sonic takes a Wii with his latest rings adventure...

Out today is Sonic & The Secret Rings on the Nintendo Wii from Sega (£39.99).

Sonic the Hedgehog is going back to basics with a straight up 3D race game that ditches all the guns, vehicles and hangers-on from the more recent games and concentrates on pure speed and platform action.

The blue speedster has come a long way since the Mega Drive days, a bit too far some would say - since many of his more recent games bear little relation to his original platform antics. This looks a lot more like the old games though (even though it's got a weird Arabian Nights back story) as you simply move left and right with the Wii Remote and use the '2' button to jump.

You can also reverse up by tilting the remote and do a homing attack on enemies by lifting the controller up vertically, but that and a slowly filling turbo boost bar is as complicated as things get. The graphics though are anything but basic and some of the best yet seen on the Wii, with a great sense of speed that's vital to any good Sonic game.

Stunning shooter action with Infernal on the PC...

Out now, Infernal (£29.99) tells the story of Ryan Lennox, a fallen angel now recruited by hell to fight 'Etherlight', heaven's own secret agency.

Ryan, hunted by his opponents, is left to take them on single-handed, armed with a vast arsenal of weapons and supernatural powers. Ryan Lennox will need all his powers to find out what's really behind Etherlight's plans, while he unleashes hell with every single weapon in his hand!

Features include:

  • Stunning shooter action in a deep, gripping storyline
