After Sunday’s "most XBox 360 console offers in the world…ever!", I stupidly though that we wouldn’t seem any more worth mentioning for a while - how wrong I was.
The XBox 360 Arcade is the smallest of three different console sizes available, and is probably most suited to younger gamers or those new to gaming in general. It comes with a 256MB memory card, wireless controller, and five free games from the XBox Live Marketplace (Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man and Uno).
Instore at Blockbuster you can get this, together with copies of Halo 3 and Project Gotham Racing 4, for £129.99.
Alternatively, head to the nearest Toys R Us for an even better deal. They have the Arcade bundle with copies of Project Gotham Racing 4, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and Viva Piñata for the same price of £129.99.
ShopTo £1 Voucher
26 Sep
Try not to get too excited, but there’s currently a ShopTo £1 voucher available! Wowee!
You need to have an account with them, but if you don’t it’s free - nothing to lose then.
Click here to visit their site and login (or sign up) on the right hand side. Once you’ve done that, scroll to the bottom and click on "redeem code". Then simply enter shoptovoucher in the box to get your £1.
Easy.
No matter which way you look at it, Half-Life 2: The Orange Box represents fantastic value for money. There’s five games in this collection, and every single one of them is a belter - with puzzle game Portal being the best of the bunch.
The other titles are Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and Team Fortress 2. All these first-person shooters are fairly similar, although the last one is actually a multiplayer team-based affair.
Sendit.com are selling this PlayStation 3 title for £12.89 - for more information, click here. If you’re after the XBox 360 version, click here to get it for £14.99 from ShopTo.
Every year brings with it some guarantees - the weather will be awful, Newcastle United will be in turmoil, and there will be a new Tiger Woods game. I wonder what will happen when he retires?
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 has a few new features that look quite good though. Tiger Woods’ real-life coach Hank Haney acts as your performance coach, clubs can be tuned to maximise the effectiveness of every shot, and the online mode has an all-new engine (it performs much better).
Game are selling both the PS3 and XBox 360 versions for £29.99, but we can get them for lower than this. Add either game to your basket, along with this wrapping, and enter the voucher code NW04GME4 to knock £3 off the total.
Click here to get the PlayStation 3 release, or click here to buy the XBox 360 version for £27.98 (when using the method above) - either one of these cheap games are well worth getting, by the way.
The Game Collection are currently running an offer where if you buy two DS games you get one free, from a very limited selection.
Standout titles are Wario: Master Of Disguise, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, and Boogie - although you may prefer something else.

PC World Games Sale
26 Sep
After letting you know about the Currys instore games sale t’other day, I thought I’d also mention that there’s now a PC World games sale with exactly the same titles at exactly the same prices.
What’s the money on Dixons being next?

SoftUK 15% Discount
25 Sep
Until Monday the 29th of September at 12pm, you can get a SoftUK 15% discount by simply entering the code Softuk15 into the voucher box at the checkout.
There’s many bargains to be had normally, so with this they’re even better - click here to see what’s on offer.
My suggestion would be Diddy Kong Racing DS, as the price will go down to just over £9.
de Blob £17.93
25 Sep
Puzzle games are always going to have an extra element of fun and/or difficulty on the Wii, and de Blob is no different. This sees you controlling a funny little blob who just so happens to share his name with the title, de Blob.
The evil I.N.K.T. Corporation have taken over Chroma City and outlawed all colour and fun - it’s your job to re-animate the city and help the oppressed by splattering buildings, landmarks, and citizens with colour. After you’ve had your fill of single player, there’s also a great multiplayer mode (though sadly without any online capabilities).
Click here to buy this game for £17.93 from Asda.
Diddy Kong Racing DS £10.99
25 Sep
Diddy Kong Racing on the Nintendo 64 drew comparisons with Mario Kart for some very obvious reasons - both feature characters driving carts, as well as items which can be used in order to cheat win.
Diddy Kong Racing DS is a remake of this game and has a number of new features. The planes and carts are much easier to control than before, Conker the Squirrel and Banjo the Bear have been added, tracks have been updated, and there’s a brand-new option to create your very own tracks to race on.
If you fancy this DS title, click here to get it for £10.99 from SoftUK.
