The arrival of Rock Band meant that the pressure was on for the guys behind Guitar Hero to make the next one even better. With Guitar Hero: World Tour, they appear to have done just that.

It’s the first in the series to feature drum and microphone controllers (available separately) and you can also now create your own songs in the "Music Studio". These can be uploaded and shared through the GHTunes service, where you can download other people’s tunes to play yourself.

Click here to buy Guitar Hero: World Tour, with a wireless guitar, on the PS2 for £37.18 from ShopTo. You can also get both the Wii release (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) version for £54.99 each from HMV.

50 Cent: Blood On The Sand is the sequel to the disappointing 50 Cent: Bulletproof, and sees our man discover that his payment for a gig in a fictional war-torn country has been stolen by a local crime baron. It’s up to you and the G-Unit to battle across two countries in order to collect your payday and unleash justice on those who have crossed you.

With a co-operative mode, intense combat and fast-action shooting, this is better than the original in every single department. 50 Cent’s involvement shines through, right down to the exclusive new music that he provides for the soundtrack.

Choices UK are selling this PS3 title for £16.98 delivered – click here for more details.

Baja: Edge Of Control is an off-road racing game from the original team behind the MX Vs ATV series that gets its name because it’s based around the real-life Baja 1000 off-road race.

Set over 95 different tracks (including three Baja 250 courses, two Baja 500 courses, and one Baja 1000 course), this is very decent racing title. Graphically it’s not all that impressive, but once you get into it you’ll be hooked.

Buzz!: The Mega Quiz is the fourth entry in the Buzz! series, and comes with a further 5,000 questions for you to answer. Interestingly, Europe was used as a testing ground to see how popular these kind of titles would be – with this being the first to be released in North America.

If you’ve yet to try any of these games, they are a little bit like Trivial Pursuit (minus the coloured triangle nonsense) created specifically with multiplayer gaming in mind. It should be noted, however, that you need the buzzers to be able to play this in the first place.

If you’re considering getting an XBox 360 and want to download games from XBox Live, save media, or just not have to worry about where to store your saved data for any cheap games, then the XBox 360 Premium would be ideal.

This version comes with a 20GB hard drive (which can be upgraded if you feel that you need even more space), a wireless controller and a headset. Although it’s much smaller than the newer Premium model, this should be just fine for most casual gamers.

Choices UK have this system available for £119.99 – for more information, click here.

Skate 2 is the sequel to one of the surprise hits of 2007, and goes by the saying "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" – which isn’t to say that it’s exactly the same, as it accomplishes the almost impossible task of making old gameplay feel fresh.

Double the amount of tricks are available to perform, and there’s also a vastly improved online multiplayer mode. Various downloadable packs can be bought as well which allow you to try out new arenas and buy new gear for your skater.

If you fancy this XBox 360 game, click here to buy it for £22.98 from Gamestation.

The price of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 seems to be getting lower and lower with every passing week, but this isn’t to say that it’s a bad game – far from it in fact, as it’s probably better than Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.

You may be glad to hear that the online mode has been improved a great deal, and is now a much better experience all round. You’ll be slightly less glad to hear that Tiger Woods’ real-life coach is on-hand to give advice if and when you need it.

Click here to get the PlayStation 3 release, or click here for the XBox 360 version – both of which are £16.98 each at Gameplay.

Although you can use the headset that comes with your XBox 360 console, the XBox 360 Wireless Headset is much better. Not only does it look futuristic in a Buck Rogers style, it also has much clearer sound than the other one. Which is nice.

Any games that have the Voice Command feature should be a lot more enjoyable with this as well, and no wires means that you’re not forced to sit in the same position for ages!

Amazon are selling this useful device for £24.99 – click here for more details.
