Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is the first band-themed Guitar Hero game to appear on the market, with the next one scheduled for release late this year or early next - and it will be Guitar Hero: Metallica. That should be excellent, just so long as they include some older stuff and quietly skip past St Anger.
The soundtrack in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith consists of a total of 41 songs, with 29 coming from the group and the remaining 12 from bands that they have played with in that past or that have inspired them. Just don’t expect "I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing", OK?!?
SoftUK are selling Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (with a custom wireless guitar), on the PS3, for £52.99 - click here for more details on this cheap games‘ availability.
A turn-based card game sounds like a bit of a weird idea for a video game, but The Eye Of Judgment works quite well. This is also the first title to make use of the PlayStation Eye camera, which comes included in this bundle.
Using the "9 Fields" table mat and special trading cards, you conquer a playfield by employing various creatures and spells. Take turns playing cards of your choice on the mat and perform actions that are captured through the camera in order to occupy more than half the field to win the match.
Click here to get The Eye Of Judgment (with the PlayStation Eye camera) for £39.99 from Gamestation.
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom is the third game in the Untold Legends series, and the first to appear on the PlayStation 3 - it was also a launch title, so it’s been out for nearly a couple of years now.
This easy-to-play hack and slash game sees you choosing from three different characters to guide on a perilous journey, as you immerse yourself in a fantastic world where only you can end the long-standing oppression of a tyrannical king.
If you fancy this title, click here to buy it for £17.99 from Gamestation.

Guitar Hero £14.98
06 Sep
The very first Guitar Hero is very, very difficult to get for a decent price so I would strongly urge you to consider getting it while it’s available for under £15. For a title that’s been out for a couple of years, it’s surprising how few retailers have ever decided to reduce it.
This features 30 popular rock songs spanning five decades, from the 1960s up to 2005, in addition to bonus tracks from independent artists. You don’t necessarily need the guitar to play it, but it does add a whole new dimension to the experience if you do.
Amazon have this PlayStation 2 game (which sadly doesn’t come with the guitar) available for £14.98 - for more information, click here.
Whilst the PlayStation 3 has Beijing 2008, the PSP only has International Athletics on offer in terms of Olympic action - and it’s average at best. I won’t suggest it was rushed out in time for the big event, but others might…
The graphics are pretty poor, there’s no career mode, and pushing the buttons too hard could break your console. At least there’s the multiplayer mode available to beat your friends in!
Click here to buy this game for £12.99 from Powerplay Direct.
Lair £9.99
06 Sep
For some people the idea of riding a dragon (steady!) sounds fascinating. If you’re one of these people then Lair might very well interest you, as the main character spends most of his time doing just that.
Rohn is a warrior who rides a dragon that has been trained for deadly aerial and ground combat, and they must work together to try and change the destiny of a world on the brink of extinction…

Beijing 2008 £19.95
06 Sep
Any title based on the Olympics has been a button-basher forever, I’m pretty certain. This means that you either get knackered after about half an hour, or come out with stupid ways to push the buttons faster - I’m sure everyone has tried using a coin or a pen lid.
Beijing 2008 has a new addition which makes it miles better than any other Olympic video game from the past though, in the form of an online multiplayer mode. Now you can get revenge for old Blighty, in a virtual sense anyway!
Click here to buy this PlayStation 3 game for £19.95 from ShopTo. XBox 360 owners can also get Beijing 2008 (ignore the bit about the PS3 one!) from the same retailer for the slightly higher price of £23.99.
Resident Evil 4 is probably one of the best games ever made - seriously, if I was to list all the good points about it, I’d be here all day. This sixth entry in the Resident Evil series has also won a whole host of awards.
The Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition features brand new controls that bring you closer to the action than ever before. The Wii Remote allows you to aim and shoot anywhere on the screen and can also be flicked in order to instantly target an enemy with a knife.
Argos have reduced the price of this to £14.99 - click here for more details.
John Woo Presents: Stranglehold is a third-person shooter that serves as the sequel to 1992 action film Hard Boiled, and stars Chow Yun-Fat reprising his role as cop Inspector "Tequila" Yuen. His loyalties are pushed to the limit when his ex-wife is kidnapped by the Russian mob in Chicago and as he struggles balance his duty to uphold the law with doing what it takes to save his family.
The John Woo Presents: Stranglehold - Collector’s Edition PlayStation 3 release is different from the XBox 360 version in that it comes complete with a high definition copy of Hard Boiled. What a very nice bonus to get!
Click here to get this title for about £13.28 delivered from Axel Music.
