While most console versions of Quantum Of Solace are first-person shooters (save for the PS2, which is third-person), the DS release is a kind of hybrid – this is because it's played with the handheld system in a sideways position, much like Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.
The plot revolves around scenes from both of Daniel Craig's outing as Bond thus far, which means that fans of Casino Royale will probably want to take a look at this as well.

Amazon Cheap Wii Games

Amazon cheap Wii games alert!

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody £9.97
Super Smash Brothers: Brawl £14.97
Wii Music £9.97
Hot Pixel £2.99
19 Oct
Hot Pixel is a little bit like the WarioWare titles, in that you compete in around 200 micro-games (that only last a few seconds each) before taking on one of ten boss games. As it's been made by Atari, expect all of your old favourites like Space Invaders and Breakout to make an appearance.
Once you've mastered the somewhat difficult single player campaign, why not battle with a friend via the multiplayer mode? There's even a turn-based option which means you'll only need the one copy…

18 Oct
The recent release of a smaller PS3 has also meant that retailers have been arranging some very tempting bundles for us lucky gamers – and not just with the standard 120GB version either, as most seem happy to be doing it with the larger 250GB model.
HMV currently have an offer running where you get a Sony PlayStation 3 250GB Slim console with two games, two Blu-Ray movies and a Blu-Ray remote for £284.99. FIFA 10 and Need For Speed: Shift are both very good titles, whilst The Dark Knight and X-Men Origins: Wolverine are both excellent films.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 sees the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travel back in time to change history and restore their nation’s glory. Something goes wrong though, resulting in an alternate timeline where World War III is raging…
This PlayStation 3 version (titled Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 – Ultimate Edition) has much better graphics and performance than its XBox 360 equivalent. You’ll also find additional multiplayer maps, plus a range of "behind the scenes" stuff including videos and profiles.
To get this for £17.99 from Play.com, simply click here.
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword is the first of the Ninja Gaiden series to appear on the DS – in fact it’s the first to appear on any handheld console, full stop. Set six months after Ninja Gaiden, Ry Hayabusa has rebuilt Hayabusa Village, but must find fellow villager Momiji who has been kidnapped by the Black Spider Ninja Clan…
Not only do you get a title which makes full use of the unique DS stylus control system, but a custom stylus (designed like an actual sword, with its own case) to use with it – a gimmick certainly, but a somewhat unique one nonetheless.

Saints Row 2 £8.99
16 Oct
Far from being a sub-standard sequel, Saints Row 2 surpasses the original Saints Row in almost every way possible. Some may even argue that it’s as good as Grand Theft Auto IV, which is quite a big compliment to make.
Sadly a few technical bugs let it down somewhat (bugs and glitches have been known to make it freeze), but even this shouldn’t put you off getting this completely insane action/adventure game – a patch has since come out anyway, so these should probably disappear.
Gameplay have this XBox 360 title available for £8.99 – for more information, click here. Definitely one of those cheap games that fans of GTA, etc. should lap up.
The Hut XBox 360 Day
15 Oct
Today marks The Hut XBox 360 Day, which can mean only one thing – bargains galore for Microsoft’s most popular product in years.
I say that, but in reality there isn’t a great deal included…
Call Of Duty: World At War £24.73
The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian £4.93
Dead Space £9.73
Frontlines: Fuel Of War £8.73
High School Musical 3: Senior Year DANCE! (With Dance Mat) £17.73
The Legend Of Spyro: Dawn Of The Dragon £12.73
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures £9.73
Need For Speed: Undercover £8.93
Section 8 £17.73
UPDATE: This offer is back again, with one or two stand-out titles – Call Of Duty: World At War for £24.73 is great value, but Dead Space at £9.73 is even better.
Where the original F.E.A.R. set the benchmark for other first-person horror titles to aspire to, its sequel sadly doesn’t provide that much in the way of originality. That’s not to say that F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is a bad game though – far from it in fact.
Gamers of a nervous disposition should probably avoid this like the plague, as the sheer number of frights is liable to give them a heart attack! Don’t be put off by some average-looking graphics either, because underneath them you’ll find a very worthwhile addition to anyone’s collection.
