In all honesty, TNA: iMPACT! isn’t very good. Those used to the glitz and glamour of the WWE video games will be disappointed with the limited and repetitive movesets, poor entrances, lack of Championship belts, and poor computer opposition.
Fans of the company will definitely at least want to take a look, as everyone you’d expect is included. The graphics are pretty good too, and the controls are very easy which makes it simple to pick up and play straight away.

The PlayStation 3 originally had a 60GB hard drive, then a 40GB one was released, and now we have an 80GB console that replaces them both. How ruddy bloody confusing, especially with rumors that there will be an ever bigger hard drive at some point in the near future!
After some initial teething problems, the system has firmly established itself as one of the best around. Fanboys may argue until the sun goes down, but you can’t dispute that there are least a few very good titles available for it.
Argos are selling the PlayStation 3 80GB console, with two games, for £299.96 - but you have to do some clicking to get this price. Click here for the system, click here for Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, click here for Little Big Planet, and click here for the PS3 Mega Pack (adding them all to the basket will make the total come to £299.96).
Nintendo Wii Console £159.99
03 Nov
We are but weeks from Christmas now, and there’s been no sign of any console shortages…yet! It still wouldn’t surprise me one bit if stocks begin to run low, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, the Wii is known by everyone as the system that revolutionised gaming in a way that no other has. This is more to do with the fact that anyone can pick up a Wii Remote and play, than it is with a great catalogue of cheap games (which it doesn’t have).
Instore at Morrisons you can pick up a Nintendo Wii console for £159.99, until the 5th of November. All come with a Wii Remote and a copy of the brilliantly fun Wii Sports.
FIFA 09 £19.99
03 Nov
In the run up to Christmas last year, Play.com ran a "deal of the day" offer where there was one very good bargain to be had every single day of the week - and it appears as though it’s back again for 2008.
FIFA 09 is up for grabs for a top price until the end of Monday the 3rd of November, and it’s well worth picking up. Not only has it improved greatly since the last version, but it’s actually better than this year’s Pro Evolution! Shocking!

Far Cry 2 £28.99
03 Nov
Far Cry 2 is yet another first-person shooter on the XBox 360 - but wait, as this one is actually not too bad. The storyline is a bit on the crappy side, but the graphics and open-world design are excellent (the enemies are quite intelligent too, as they actively hunt you down).
It takes place in a fictional modern-day Central African nation that’s in a state of anarchy and civil war, and you take control of a mercenary who’s on a lengthy journey to find and kill notorious arms dealer "The Jackal".

Not only is Buzz! Quiz TV the first in the series of quiz games to appear on the PlayStation 3, it’s also the first to feature both user-created content and online play.
There’s over 5000 all new questions across five different topics, as well as many more that can be purchased from the online PlayStation Store.
Choices UK have Buzz! Quiz TV (with Buzzers) available for £33.99 - click here for more details.
Need For Speed: Prostreet is a good racing game, but it must be said that all of the cars have shoddy performance and unrealistic handling. It’s also a pity that the makers decided to move away from the traditional roots of street racing.
What I will say is that the online multiplayer mode is quite possibly one of the best around, as it’s much more integrated into the game than ever before and offers a greater level of competition as well.

Grand Theft Auto IV £22.97
02 Nov
For anyone who’s been living under a rock, Grand Theft Auto IV is the lastest and greatest title in the long-running Grand Theft Auto series. Controversy surrounds every release, but this had even more because of the similarities between the city in the game and the real-life New York City - excessive violence and prostitution probably didn’t help either.
There’s more to do than ever before, with lots of little side-games (like bowling, or seeing Ricky Gervais perform stand-up) and missions. However, where this beats every other title in the series is with the online multiplayer mode - nothing better than hacking up a friend with a chainsaw, if you ask me.
If you fancy the XBox 360 version, click here to get it for £22.97 from Amazon. PlayStation 3 owners can get their release for the same price from the same retailer by clicking here.
The greatest Zelda game of all time has to be Ocarina Of Time on the Nintendo 64, but Wii title The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess runs a very close second.
Although initially designed for the GameCube (and actually released for it, and still available at stupid prices on the Internet), the graphics are excellent. Gameplay wise this will take you a fair amount of time to 100% complete, as there are lots of mini-games and quests - the fishing alone will keep you coming back for more.
