Since we Brits are apparently destined to never get a summer again, we're going to have to start getting our sun fixes where we can. You don't need to be a geographer to know that it doesn't get much hotter or sunnier than Africa, so Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa looks like a good place to start. The game follows its film namesake, which sees Alex the lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and their whole crazy crew crash landing in Africa and becoming entangled in a whole great mess of political intrigue and shenanigans. Gamers can play as their favourite characters.
