Out of the many driving series’ around, Project Gotham Racing is definitely one of the best. With some exciting new features, this is quite possibly the best one yet.
The biggest new feature is the weather effects that affect the look of the game and the physics of the vehicles on the track. Five new cities appear, and for the first time ever you can now race on motorcycles as well as cars.

Kung Fu Panda £9.99
23 Oct
Kung Fu Panda is based on the film of the same name, and is aimed squarely at children. Progressing through the game unlocks more characters for you to control and use in the multiplayer modes.
As with many titles that have been released recently, this comes with a fair amount of mini-games to take part in. Even more characters can be unlocked when taking part in these as well.

Clive Barker is well known for his horror novels and films, so the next obvious thing for him to do would be to write the story for a video game - with the result being Clive Barker’s Jericho.
A lost city has mysteriously reappeared in a remote desert, and has brought with it an evil that goes right back to the dawn of time. You control a Special Forces squad, trained in both conventional warfare and the arcane arts, who must hunt down and destroy it before it can destroy humanity.

23 Oct
Assassins Creed sees you taking the role of Altair, who is one of the feared assassins that intend to stop conflict between the two sides that make up the Third Crusade.

Grand Theft Auto IV £24.99
21 Oct
The other day we featured Grand Theft Auto IV for £19.99 - sadly Play.com have decided to raise the cost, which is incredibly annoying. Damn you Play.com and your changeable prices!
If you’ve never heard of this game before, may I ask if you’ve been living under a rock? If you have, then it’s an open-world title where you can roam about and do pretty much anything you can imagine, right down to picking up hookers from some sexytime. You can also kill them as well, which is something that many frown upon.
HMV have the PlayStation 3 version priced at £24.99 - click here for more details on this cheap games‘ availability.
Currys Instore Game Sale
21 Oct
There’s a Currys instore game sale that looks excellent, with titles reduced across pretty much every format.
I should point out that stocks will probably be quite low, so act quickly!
P.S. I’d love to make a list of everything that’s included, but sadly I’d be here all day - trust me when I say that you want to check it out though. Additionally, any game that has a price ending in .97 is included (so get them to scan it, as chances are high that you’ll get it for less than the stickered price).
UPDATE: Thought I would bump this up a bit, as it’s still running. Some stuff that I’ve seen available include a white PSP-1000 for £69.95, Ace Combat 6: Fires Of Liberation on the XBox 360 for £9.99, and The Incredible Hulk on the Wii for £9.97.
There’s also an identical sale at PC World, with practically the same stuff available for the same prices.
de Blob £17
20 Oct
In more proof that journalists are a lazy bunch of idiots who seemingly don’t know their arse from their elbow, the normally reliable CVG reported the other day that they were shocked to learn that you could get de Blob for the PC for free - even though the world and his dog know that THQ picked it up and morphed it into a Wii title.
The game lets you explore and liberate a city from an evil bunch of wrong ‘uns. Playing as de Blob, you embark on a quest to re-animate the city of Chroma and its inhabitants by splattering everything with colour - there’s a multiplayer option too, but sadly no sign of online action.
Instore at Asda you can get this Wii game for £17, until the 23rd of October.
Trackmania DS £17.99
19 Oct
The original Trackmania was an exciting and fun driving game, and Trackmania DS promises to be more of the same - plus a whole lot more. It’s quite an interesting title actually, as it combines elements from puzzle games to give a very unique experience unlike any other racing game.
Along with the three single player modes there’s a multiplayer option, although there’s sadly no online mode (for shame). An excellent track editor is also included, which means that you should never really tire of it.

Soul Bubbles £9.89
19 Oct
Soul Bubbles is a puzzle game in which you play as a young shaman apprentice whose duty is to care for lost souls. Create protective bubbles to keep them safe, whilst travelling through the 40 levels contained within eight different worlds.
This is a beautiful little game which keeps you entertained from start to finish, but which can also leave you tearing your hair out in sheer frustration at how difficult it is!
If you fancy this DS title, click here to get it for £9.89 from Sendit.com.
Paint By DS £8
19 Oct
As the DS uses a stylus to control things, it’s inevitable that painting titles would appear. Paint By DS challenges you to recreate classic artworks using the stylus, from artists including Van Gogh and Cezanne.
There’s a total of 15 different paintings to complete, each of which has their own level of difficulty. Reviews have been mixed, probably because you need a bit of interest in fine art to appreciate what you’re doing.
Pop in to your nearest Asda and pick this DS game up for just £8.
