Lips: Number One Hits is the follow up to Lips, with both serving as the XBox 360 equivalent to the PlayStation's long-running SingStar series. Singing is the aim of the game (as you probably guessed almost straight away), which can often spell trouble if played whilst a little intoxicated…

The track listing for this is actually pretty good as well, with classics from groups like Tears for Fears and Blondie alongside more contemporary stuff from artists including the Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga.

DJ Hero is the newest addition to the "Hero" franchise, which this time focuses on turntablism. 94 remixes of two different songs from a selection of over 100 across numerous genres are available, plus many more will be added over time as downloadable content.

The DJ Hero: Renegade Edition set is slightly different from the DJ Hero Turntable kit. Not only do you get a premium turntable controller with metal controls and finish inside a hardshell carrying case, but there's also an exclusive double CD featuring new tracks from Eminem and Jay-Z included as well.

While it's always nice to get a bargain (we do strive to keep you updated, hence the existence of this site in the first place!), it's even better when you end up with even more value for money – which is certainly the case with this Pure and Lego Batman: The Video Game double pack.

Both XBox 360 titles are well worth adding to your collection anyway, with Lego Batman being the marginally better and more playable of the two, but for this price you'd be mad not to pick them up straight away.

base.com are selling this for £7.95 – click here for more details.

Dante's Inferno is a third-person action-adventure game inspired by Inferno, the first book of Dante Alighieri's epic poem The Divine Comedy. You assume the role of Dante who descends into Hell on a mission to save his beloved Beatrice, as well as facing his own demons and ultimately redeeming himself.

Whilst many reviews have likened this to a clone of God of War, I don't see how this can be considered a bad thing – the God of War series has been excellent so far, and this game is every bit as good as any of them, if you ask me.

The XBox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter is head and shoulders above the original release – not only do you get increased speed and range plus added wireless security features, but it will also look quite snazzy to go with your Elite console (it only comes in black, you see).

While it's still something of an irritant that Microsoft refuse to build in wireless technology to the system in the first place, I think it's worth remembering that they have been making a loss for near enough the entire time the console has been out – still, it'd be a nice addition in the future…

While it's all well and good to shell out for games, it's always nice when you can get more than one for your money – which makes this XBox 360 Wireless Entertainment pack, which contains Lego Batman: The Video Game, Pure and an XBox 360 wireless controller, well worth taking a look at.

The two included titles are pretty darn good, although if I had to pick between them I would plump for Lego Batman: The Video Game. There's more to do in it than Pure, plus once you've completed the single player campaign you can tackle the same levels again with a friend.

If there's a reason to get a copy of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, it's that it also contains The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay – which is both one of the best titles ever made on the original XBox and the prequel to this brand-new Vin Diesel-starring first-person action game.

You take on the role of Riddick (from The Chronicles of Riddick and Pitch Black movies) and must use stealth and action to overcome the merciless crew of the predatory Merc-ship Dark Athena – cheating death through a series of spectacular battles and events, Riddick fights for his life amid a storm of malevolence and horror…

Fable II is the long-awaited sequel to one of the best games on the original XBox console. It takes place in the fictional world of Albion, 500 years after Fable's setting, in a colonial era resembling the time of highwaymen or the Enlightenment – guns are still primitive, and large castles and cities have developed where towns once stood.

For the first time you can play as either a male or female character, and there's also now the inclusion of a multiplayer mode (which can be played either online or off). Downloadable content is available too in the form of the "Knothole Pack" and "See the Future" releases.

If you fancy this XBox 360 game, click here to buy it for £8.85 from ShopTo.
