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.

The Olympics have been over for a couple of weeks, but you can try and recreate any of your favourite events in the Beijing 2008 video game. Heck, why not try and equal Michael Phelps’ record? For good measure, do it with a British swimmer!

For the very first time in an Olympic game you can take on other players around the world via the online multiplayer mode. This is something that has been anticipated for many years, so it’s great we finally get the option.

If you’re getting a bit sick of third-person shooters, I’m afraid you’ll bite my head off for mentioning Army Of Two. At least this one has a unique feature, as you have to use coordinated teamwork in order to accomplish the game’s goals – try and get a friend to play with you, as the computer is a bit shit to be honest.

Weapons can be fully customised using money acquired as you progress, and a semi-decent online multiplayer mode is also included. This is unlike standard deathmatch modes, because you have to watch each other’s backs and work together to defeat the opposing team.

Click here to get the PlayStation 3 version, or click here to buy the XBox 360 release – both of which are £17.99 each over at base.com.

Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground is the ninth title to feature the world’s most famous skateboarder, and is actually sometimes known as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 9 because of this.

There are many skaters to choose from, who are separated into three different groups – Career, Rigger, and Hardcore. Career skaters make a living from the sport, Riggers use the environment to make ramps and rails, and Hardcore skaters do it for the love of the sport.

Some have been critical of PES 2008 (Pro Evolution Soccer) for not having enough new improvements, however I’m of the belief that it’s E.A.’s fault – they’ve finally got their act together and started making the FIFA games we all wanted to see.

Although you’ll no doubt get annoyed by Mark Lawrenson’s commentary (who doesn’t?), this first appearance on the PS3 includes great graphics and a brilliant online multiplayer mode.

Click here to get this game for £24.99 from Powerplay Direct. It’s definitely one of those cheap games that you should get if you’re a footy fan, even though the next one will be out soon.

As far as basketball games go, the 2K series is right up there with anything E.A. have to offer. In fact, it would be fair to say that they’re actually often BETTER than NBA Live (insert year here).

NBA 2K7 came out in 2006, so the rosters will be quite old – however, the price is low enough to warrant a purchase to get to grips with how it plays.

Click here to buy this XBox 360 game for £4.99 from Game. Or you could click here to get the XBox version for £7.98 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £9.97 delivered) from Amazon, or click here to buy the PlayStation 3 release for £10.99 from WH Smith.
