With Christmas fast approaching, there’s a couple of PlayStation 3 deals that are probably worth taking a look at. With the dreaded credit crunch still with us, who knows if more will appear nearer the time…
ShopTo have the 40GB console with copies of Ratchet & Clank: Tools Of Destruction and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune priced at £259.99. Click here to see the full details of the offer.
Meanwhile over at Game you can get the bigger 80GB console with copies of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for £309.99 - click here to see more information.
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is the sequel to PC title Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but is set in the same universe as Quake II and Quake 4 - just to confuse the heck out of everybody! There’s also a minimal back-story which serves as a prequel to Quake II thrown in for good measure.
The graphics on the next-generation console versions are nowhere near as good as the PC release, which is a bit disappointing. However, if you enjoy multiplayer-based shoot-em-ups then I’m sure you’ll like this one too.
Click here to get the XBox 360 version, or click here to get the PS3 release - both of which are £14.98 each at Gamestation.
First off, an apology - the site hasn’t been updated for some 12 days now, as I’ve had the flu. You’ll be glad to hear that I’m better now, so expect updates every day from now on. Great.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, with a wireless guitar, is the first band-specific title in the series and features songs not only by Aerosmith themselves, but other groups they have toured with or who have influenced them in some way.
Gamestation have the PlayStation 3 version available for £49.98 - click here for more details. You may also be interested to learn that the Wii (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) releases are also the same price.
One of the most popular series’ in recent times has been Guitar Hero, although the appearance of Rock Band has at least given it some competition. Both are fantastic in their own ways, with each having a great variety of songs to play along to.
Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock is the last guitar-only title in the series (Guitar Hero: World Tour will include drums, etc) and includes some great tunes to rock out to - Guns N’ Roses, The Sex Pistols, and The Rolling Stones are just a few of the featured artists.
Click here to buy the Wii version for £30.67, click here to get the PS3 release for £33.67, or click here to buy the XBox 360 version for the same price of £33.67 - all from Amazon.
Oh, I should also point out that these also come with wireless guitars. This makes this particular post one of the very top bargains I’ve seen this year - seriously outstanding value for money.
The price of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 seems to be getting lower and lower with every passing day, but this isn’t to say that it’s a bad game - far from it in fact, as it’s probably better than Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. Proof positive that not all cheap games that have been out a short time are crap!
You may be glad to hear that the online mode has been improved a great deal, and is now a much better experience all round. You’ll be slightly less glad to hear that Tiger Woods’ real-life coach is on-hand to give advice if and when you need it.
Click here to get the PlayStation 3 version, or click here for the XBox 360 release - both of which are £22.97 each at Amazon.
FIFA 09 From £19.71
03 Oct
FIFA 09 is the newest entry in the long-running series of football games. It comes with a few new features, including improved responsiveness from players and a completely revamped collision system (which means that stronger players should be able to hold off others for longer).
Thank the Lord that goalkeepers have also been improved, with better positioning and reactions to saves. Evening games should feel more realistic as well, because the sky changes from light to dark while you’re playing.
To buy the PlayStation 2 version for £19.71 from Tesco, simply click here (and enter voucher code Freedel at the checkout to save on postage). PS3 and XBox 360 owners can get their releases for £29.71 instore at Tesco.
Yes, I’m aware that we already featured the XBox 360 version of Half-Life 2: The Orange Box for £14.99 the other day. However, the PlayStation 3 version was lower than this - but has since sold out at the £12.93 pricepoint. Sad times.
It’s well worth picking this title up, by the way, as you’re getting five games in one. Not only are there Half-Life 2 and two expansion packs, but one of the best games of 2007 in Portal. Also included is team-based multiplayer Team Fortress 2.
ShopTo have the 360 release for £14.99 - click here for more details. Click here if you’re interested in the PS3 version, which is the same price from the same retailer.

One of the most realistic motorbike experiences you can have, this side of not killing yourself in the process, is with the SBK series of games. SBK 08: Superbike World Championship is the newest addition, and has more to offer than ever before.
Not only are there five racing styles to choose from, as well as six game modes, but there’s also a great little online mode. It’s so good that it’s easy to compare to more well known games like Forza 2, in all honesty.
Click here to buy this PSP title for £15 from Simply Games. Other versions are available for slightly more, including the XBox 360 for £17 from the same retailer (click here) or the PlayStation 3 release for £19.99 from Woolworths (click here).
If you’ve always wanted to learn some tips from Tiger Woods’ real-life coach, then now’s your chance - in a virtual sense, of course. Hank Haney offers tips, advice, and challenges that help to improve your skills.
There’s also the other usual little improvements graphics and gameplay wise, and this time the online mode has been improved to give a much better experience. All in all cheap games like this may not seem better than the previous entry in the series, however there’s enough new additions to warrant a look.
Play.com are selling the Wii version for £24.99 - for more information click here. They also have the XBox 360 release for the same price by clicking here, or click here to get the PlayStation 3 version for £27.99 from ShopTo (not forgetting to use the good old ShopTo £1 voucher, if you haven’t already).
