The sad news that Nintendo were bumping up the recommended price of the Wii by £20 seems to have little effect on retailers, as they seem more than prepared to keep selling at around £179.99 – fair play to them, but I’m not sure how long they’ll be so generous for.

It’s great then that this new bundle has appeared. For £176.19 you get a Nintendo Wii, with Wii Play and an accessory pack which comes with different things to put your Wii Remote in (steady!).

Click here to buy this from Argos, selecting "Offer 1" from the "Special offers" tab. Remember that Wii Play comes with its own Wii Remote, which technically means that you get two with this deal.

Before Bully was released in this country, it had its name changed to Canis Canem Edit (presumably because Bully might seem to glorify bullying, or some such nonsense). When the updated version came out on the Wii and XBox 360, it went back to its original title.

Bully: Scholarship Edition features exclusive content not found on the original PS2 title. There are eight new missions, additional characters, four new classes (Biology, Music, Maths, and Geography), and new unlockable items and clothing – a selection of multiplayer mini-games have also been added as well.

Click here to buy this Wii game for just £4.99 from Play.com.

The success of the Guitar Hero series has meant that bands are keen to cash in with their own versions, hence the reason for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. With Guitar Hero: Metallica due for release soon, it looks like this is certainly a "fad" that’s here to stay.

A total of 41 songs can be played along to, with 29 coming from the group themselves and the remaining 12 are from those that have inspired or toured with the band in the past.

Choices UK have the PlayStation 3 release of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, with a wireless guitar, available for £26.98 delivered – for more information, click here. The same retailer is also selling both the Wii (click here) XBox 360 (click here) versions for £29.99 each.

Tenchu: Dark Secret is a stealth action game that places you in the shoes of one of two ninja assassins who have been charged with protecting the life of a princess. More than 40 missions await you, and then once they’ve been complete you can also get a friend round and try out the multiplayer mode.

Reviewers have been critical of this because it doesn’t share all that much in common with its bigger console cousins, a bad camera angle, and some pretty poor graphics. All this aside, fans of other titles in the franchise will probably want to see what this is like (basically, an OK stealth game!).

If you fancy this DS title, click here to buy it for £9.99 from Play.com.
