    By no means a new documentary but given the recent sad news of palmer’s passing, this gives you the chance to see the seismic effect he had on the game of golf. made by The Golf Channel, with plenty of star input.

    Nascar Heat Evolution
    Price: Dh300
    Where to buy: Amazon

    Given the overall American-ness of the sport, this is likely to only have limited appeal but it shouldn’t take away from what is a hugely enjoyable racing game. With realism and a multitude of challenges, give it a spin.

    NBA 2K
    Price: Dh30
    Where to buy: iTunes

    The handheld version of the popular console sim looks absolutely fantastic. It obviously lacks the depth of its bigger brother – especially statistically, which is a little frustrating – but is still worth a go for the odd game on the move.
