It’s becoming almost a daily event to report new console deals, but you won’t hear me complaining – and I’m sure that you’re not either! How long until we see a Wii deal that’s too good to resist?!?…

Anyway, the smallest XBox 360 package comes with a wireless controller and five games (Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man and Uno) from the XBox Live Marketplace. There’s very little storage space included, but Microsoft are selling the XBox 360 20GB hard drive for £12.99 to new customers (which is an excellent price, to be honest).

At the moment, Amazon are running a very good offer where you can get a few extra titles and an extra wireless controller.

Click here to buy the XBox 360 Arcade, with four games, for £147.97 – oh yeah, and the games in question are Kung Fu Panda, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, Project Gotham Racing 4, and Sega Superstars Tennis.

You’ll need to scroll down to the "Product Promotions" area to see more information on this bundle, as it’s not quite as straightforward as I’d like it to be.

If there’s one thing that irritates me about the XBox 360, it’s that there’s no in-built wireless network adaptor – not only does the PlayStation 3 have one, the bloody Wii does as well!

Hopefully at some point in the future Microsoft will decide to integrate one into the console, but until then we’ll have to make do with the XBox 360 Wireless Network Adaptor.

Currys have an XBox 360 Live package (which contains this accessory and a 12-month subscription to XBox Live) available for £69 – for more information, click here.

Many of the cheap games featured on this site have online capabilities, and this set lets you take advantage of these without too much fuss.

Could PES 2009: Pro Evolution Soccer be the last one to appear on the PlayStation 2? This hasn’t been confirmed, but you do get the feeling that less emphasis has been put into it than the seventh generation console versions – which include a full Champions League tournament not found on this.

It has to also be said that FIFA has either moved on a par, or ever so slightly ahead, in terms of playability. As someone has both, I feel qualified to state my reasons why – Pro Evo seems a bit more arcade-y than previous, whereas FIFA 09 plays much more realistically.

Click here to get the PS2 version for £12.49 from Gamestation. They are also selling the PlayStation 3 (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) releases for £19.99 each as well, which is incredibly good value for money.

In the future, the Earth’s appetite for resources has led to a great deal of deep space exploration. Huge, privately-owned and operated mining ships orbit planets and extract rock, reducing it to component elements and raw ore.

When communications with one of these ships goes down, top engineer Isaac Clarke is sent to fix the problem. However, once he gets aboard he soon realises that he’s not alone…

Pop in to your nearest Gamestation and pick up Dead Space, on either the XBox 360 or PlayStation 3, for £24.99.

There aren’t as many decent racing games as there are first-person shooters, so it’s always nice to see a decent attempt at translating the real-life thrill of driving to the small-screen – and Midnight Club: Los Angeles does it rather well.

The single player mode is pretty difficult, as the AI is at times seemingly impossible to defeat, but not enough to put you off trying it out. As with many other games though this really excels in the online races, with the ability to race against another 15 players making for some good times.

Play.com are selling this XBox 360 title for £19.99 – click here for more details.

There’s a couple of XBox 360 console deals that are well worth taking a look at, especially this close to Christmas. One good thing to have come out of the recession is lower console and game prices, so we shouldn’t complain too much!

The XBox 360 Arcade comes with a wireless controller and five games from the XBox Live Marketplace (Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man and Uno), but no hard drive. However, Microsoft will sell you an XBox 360 20GB hard drive for £12.99 if you fancy upgrading for a more than reasonable price.

Instore at Asda Living (the ones that don’t sell any food) you can get this pack for £110.

The XBox 360 60GB Premium model is the one that is suitable for pretty much everyone, as it has enough space to store as much stuff as you would probably need. Maybe not as much space as the Elite, but it is much cheaper than it is!

Previously this came with a 20GB hard drive, until Microsoft had a rare moment of generosity and decided to bump it up to 60GB – helped in no small part by the PlayStation 3 having similar space, I imagine.

Click here to buy this with copies of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, James Bond: Quantum Of Solace, Project Gotham Racing 4, and Sega Superstar Tennis, for £199 from Currys.

Although it has a fairly rubbish storyline, and it’s damn annoying when enemies respawn quickly, Far Cry 2 isn’t quite as bad as some would have you believe. It’s maybe not as good as Call Of Duty, but then how many other first-person shooters are?

You can pretty much do what you like and choose who to align with in the single player campaign, which is nice. It’s the online multiplayer that’s the real highlight though, with up to 16 players able to duke it out at one time.

If you fancy this, click here to get the XBox 360 version or click here to get the PS3 release (which comes with four extra missions) – both of which are £26.99 each at HMV.
