Oxfam has come up with an innovative online game called The Climate Challenge to promote awareness of global warming.

It features a range of celebrities including David Tennant, Gael Garcia Bernal, Mackenzie Crook and Miranda Richardson appearing as contestants in a quiz about the future of our planet, for which you must decide the answers.

There are three rounds to choose from - Beer Cans & Laughing Gas; Trains, Planes & Bananas; and Pollution Solution - with a petition to sign at the end that urges world leaders to prevent catastrophic climate change.

You can embed the game on your blog or website, and share it on Facebook, while a mobile version is coming soon.

They appear to be everywhere at the moment so it makes sense that a game dedicated to the X Factor twins Jon and Edward has been created.

It's called Jedward X Factor Vote Grabber: Grimes Against Humanity and the aim of the game is to make the ubiquitous twins bounce on a see-saw collecting stars – or votes – that are suspended above them.

The more votes they collect, the further along in the competition they get.

There is the option, though, to impale them on spikes and make them fall off the see-saw instead. Once the game is over, a freaky-looking Simon Cowell appears to kick them off the show.

It's Friday the 13th and not long until Christmas so what better way to pass this superstitious day than a game that combines the two?

Friday the 24th features Jason Vorhees from the Friday the 13th slasher-movie series becoming rather irate with some merry elves, unwanted presents and a gun-toting Santa.

The game contains some bloody cartoon violence but perhaps that's the price you pay for starting the festive season too early!

"There's a magical place, we're on our way there. With toys in their millions all under one roof. It's called Toys R Us!"

If the above words fill you with a warm glow, you'll be pleased to hear that toy megastore Toys R Us is bringing back its 'Magical Place' TV advert, first shown in the Eighties, for Christmas 2009.

Blame Facebook - where mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe has his own page - and YouTube - where 'Magical Place' has been viewed more than 200,000 times in total - for the revival of the "iconic commercial".

You can also wallow in nostalgia in the Geoffrey's Magical Place section of the Toys R Us website, which traces the development of the giraffe over the years, celebrates 25 years of toys and hosts other, less memorable ads.

'Magical Place' returns to our screens from 18 November.
