Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows is due for release on the 24th of October, and sees our favourite Marvel superhero return for another free-roaming game. Yay for him.
Venom has returned to New York to infect the city with an army of symbiotes, so S.H.I.E.L.D. have quarantined it to prevent the infection from spreading. Spider-Man has to work with heroes and villains (much like in Spider-Man: Friend Or Foe) to track down Venom and stop him.

Lost: The Video Game £11.99
10 Sep
Although the TV series is OK, even if it is getting a little tiresome, Lost: The Video Game is a big steaming pile of turd. If the shortness of it doesn’t annoy you, then the loading screens surely will - there’s hundreds of them!
The graphics are good though, and fans will get the most out of it, as you’d expect. I feel that I have to mention the frankly laughable voice talent as well, because Locke is played in a very odd way and Sawyer sounds like Huckleberry Finn.
Play.com are selling this PS3 title for £11.99 - click here for more details.
Morrisons Game Chart Deals
08 Sep
For one week only there’s a range of Morrisons game chart deals running, across most formats. This will probably end on the 15th of September, so it might very well include Rock Band on Friday.
The offers are as follows:
All PlayStation 3 chart titles £25
All XBox 360 chart titles £25
All Wii chart titles £15
All DS chart titles £12
And yes, games such as Mario Kart Wii, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Guitar Hero: On Tour, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 are all included.
Not content with just being able to play games or watch films through your PS3? How about watching and recording TV then? This is exactly what PlayTV (with the PlayStation 3 TV tuner) lets you do.
Plug your TV aerial into the tuner and connect your PS3 via the USB cable provided, and you’ll get a whole host of TV and radio channels. Even better, you can record TV whilst playing a game or watch, pause, and rewind live TV!
To get this for £54.99 from Play.com, simply click here and enter the voucher code VTWMDLHGPQ (this knocks a fiver off any spend over £50).
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is the first band-themed Guitar Hero game to appear on the market, with the next one scheduled for release late this year or early next - and it will be Guitar Hero: Metallica. That should be excellent, just so long as they include some older stuff and quietly skip past St Anger.
The soundtrack in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith consists of a total of 41 songs, with 29 coming from the group and the remaining 12 from bands that they have played with in that past or that have inspired them. Just don’t expect "I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing", OK?!?
SoftUK are selling Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (with a custom wireless guitar), on the PS3, for £52.99 - click here for more details on this cheap games‘ availability.
A turn-based card game sounds like a bit of a weird idea for a video game, but The Eye Of Judgment works quite well. This is also the first title to make use of the PlayStation Eye camera, which comes included in this bundle.
Using the "9 Fields" table mat and special trading cards, you conquer a playfield by employing various creatures and spells. Take turns playing cards of your choice on the mat and perform actions that are captured through the camera in order to occupy more than half the field to win the match.
Click here to get The Eye Of Judgment (with the PlayStation Eye camera) for £39.99 from Gamestation.
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom is the third game in the Untold Legends series, and the first to appear on the PlayStation 3 - it was also a launch title, so it’s been out for nearly a couple of years now.
This easy-to-play hack and slash game sees you choosing from three different characters to guide on a perilous journey, as you immerse yourself in a fantastic world where only you can end the long-standing oppression of a tyrannical king.
If you fancy this title, click here to buy it for £17.99 from Gamestation.
Lair £9.99
06 Sep
For some people the idea of riding a dragon (steady!) sounds fascinating. If you’re one of these people then Lair might very well interest you, as the main character spends most of his time doing just that.
Rohn is a warrior who rides a dragon that has been trained for deadly aerial and ground combat, and they must work together to try and change the destiny of a world on the brink of extinction…

Beijing 2008 £19.95
06 Sep
Any title based on the Olympics has been a button-basher forever, I’m pretty certain. This means that you either get knackered after about half an hour, or come out with stupid ways to push the buttons faster - I’m sure everyone has tried using a coin or a pen lid.
Beijing 2008 has a new addition which makes it miles better than any other Olympic video game from the past though, in the form of an online multiplayer mode. Now you can get revenge for old Blighty, in a virtual sense anyway!
Click here to buy this PlayStation 3 game for £19.95 from ShopTo. XBox 360 owners can also get Beijing 2008 (ignore the bit about the PS3 one!) from the same retailer for the slightly higher price of £23.99.
