Game of the week - Easy Piano(DS, £39.99)

And now that your paws are warm, try tickling the ivories with the help of Namco’s Easy Piano. This DS title is aportable take on the electronic keyboard and comes with an eight-note peripheral that offers a complete musical octave which has a threeoctave range. It offers basic lessons, musical mini games and the chance to have a go at playing everything from Beethoven to “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Once you’ve mastered the slightly odd format, you can record three-minutelong tracks to showcase what you’ve learnt. Cheaper than a baby grand, but probably not quite as impressive.
