The Pro Evolution Soccer series has for a long time provided the best football games that money can buy. However with FIFA 08 E.A. have finally made some excellent improvements, meaning that at long last we actually have a choice of two very good titles.

PES 2008 (Pro Evolution Soccer) doesn’t actually have that many things different than the previous one, although the graphics are slightly improved and the controls feel a bit tighter.

There’s a couple of decent WH Smith console deals available instore that I thought I’d let you know about. First up we have the ever-dependable Nintendo DS Lite.

With a brilliant catalogue of games, and the ability to play your old GameBoy Advance titles, this is probably the best handheld system ever made.

In exchange for one penny shy of £100 (£99.99) you can get any colour of console plus copies of Imagine: Pet Vet and Sega Superstars Tennis.

Next up it’s the system that everyone and his mother either already has, or will be manically trying to get at Christmas, the Nintendo Wii.

With a unique control scheme that sets it apart from any others on the market, the Wii gives a truly innovative way to play games. Every console comes with a Wii Remote and a copy of Wii Sports.

WH Smith have this with Big Beach Sports and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 for £179.99

In a move that seems synonymous with video games based on Disney films (see the different versions of Wall-E, which are available from £14.93 as part of the Asda September sale), there are some differences in the DS and PlayStation 2 releases of Disney’s Meet The Robinsons.

Both are prequels to the movie but the DS version is a first-person shooter shooter with a simple storyline, whilst the PS2 release is a more in-depth game with a bigger story and additional mini-games.

Click here to buy the DS version for £4.75 from Blah DVD, or click here to get the PlayStation 2 release for £4.98 from Gamestation.
