Although it has a slightly smaller hard drive than the one found in the current Premium model, the XBox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition 20GB Premium Console does look a lot smarter than the standard white system.

Not only do you get the console itself, but both the wireless controller and wired headset are in matching colours as well. Plus, this version comes with a play and charge kit and a one-month Gold subscription to XBox Live.

Game are selling this for £169.99 – click here for more details.

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. is an aerial warfare game that takes place in the same universe as Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (more specifically, between Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 and Tom Clancy’s EndWar).

Cutting-edge technology, devastating firepower, and intense dogfights combine to make this a title deserving entry in the Tom Clancy series. No multiplayer is a bit of a letdown, but there is a very good co-operative mode to go with the single player campaign.

When you see the range of titles available for both the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360, it’s easy to dismiss the Wii as a non-gamers console. I would counter with the argument that The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Brothers: Brawl are all fairly intensive games – its version of Resident Evil IV is also arguably the best on the market as well.

The beauty of the system is that anyone can pick up and play right away. Wii Sports is included with every sale, along with a Wii Remote, and demonstrates exactly what makes the Wii a unique experience like no other.

If you fancy a Nintendo Wii, with Wii Play, click here to buy one for £176.16 from Amazon. There are a few other different titles to choose from if Wii Play doesn’t sound that exciting (but bear in mind that it includes an extra Wii Remote).

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is the long-awaited sequel to one of the best first-person horror shooters in recent years, F.E.A.R. Known for its intelligent enemies, this follow-up bumps the pressure up another notch to make them even more challenging and aggressive.

Although it has excellent atmosphere and scares, visually awesome gameplay, and fun weapons, this is perhaps not as good as the original – however, it’s certainly far from being awful.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed bridges the two Star Wars trilogies, and introduces a new protagonist, Starkiller, as Darth Vader’s secret apprentice. The first level sees you playing as the evil Lord, whilst the remainder of the game is seen through the eyes of the apprentice.

A more intimate and powerful story can be found in this than any of the prequel trilogy, and the soundtrack ranks up there with the best that the films can offer – maybe not too much that sounds exciting, but certainly enough to keep fans entertained.

Click here to get the PSP version for £9.99 from Comet, click here to buy the PlayStation 2 release for £13.99 from SoftUK, or click here to get the PlayStation 3 version for £14.99 from Comet.

PC World have the XBox 360 release (click here) available for £19.97, whilst ShopTo have the Wii version (click here) priced at £19.99.

If you like your puzzle games fast and furious, whilst still retaining that addictiveness that they seem to have most of the time, then Frantix could be right up your street.

Over 150 different challenging levels are on offer, which are all played out in front of some very high quality 3D graphics. The U.S. version includes a short film as a bonus feature, but we sadly don’t get it (no idea why).

SoftUK are selling this PSP title for just £2.99 – click here for more details.

The House Of The Dead: Overkill is a first-person rail shooter that serves as a prequel to the original House Of The Dead game. Appearing exclusively on the Wii, this is quite short – however it’s also incredibly good fun, especially if you get a friend round (nothing like blasting the undead to kingdom come with a chum).

The House Of The Dead: Overkill – Collector’s Edition differs from the other release by coming in a special cardboard slipcase, and including the "Prelude to an Overkill" graphic novel.

Kyle Hyde, a former member of the New York Police Department searching for his old partner, unravels a mystery shrouded in the Hotel Dusk’s past that may lead him to the answers he is looking for.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is an excellent graphic adventure game that has been critically praised for its brilliant storyline and engaging character dialogue. It really is very enjoyable, I must say.
