It’s fair to say that with any of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour games you know exactly what you’re going to get – namely the best golfing experience you can have without spending a bomb on green fees.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is the newest entry in the series, and comes with one or two new additions. The biggest is probably the appearance of Tiger Woods’ real-life coach Hank Haney who pops up to offer advice if and when you need it.

Phew!
Although Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time is quite an old title now (it was released way back in 2003), it’s perhaps worth taking a look at in advance of the big-screen film of the same name appearing in 2010.
This third-person action adventure game takes the original Prince Of Persia and updates it for a new generation, with 3D level design and an intriguing storyline. I should probably point out that some of the puzzles are bloody hard as well!

Too Human £9.95
17 Oct
Now let’s just get this clear for a moment – yes, Too Human is nowhere near as good as anyone was expecting but it’s also nowhere near as bad as this price would suggest.
This first installment in a planned trilogy was delayed for absolutely ages, so it is a bit disappointing that it’s a bit flat in places. However, if you enjoy action role-playing games then you’re bound to like this at least a little.
Pop in to John Lewis and pick up this XBox 360 title for only £9.95.
The makers of Tony Hawk’s Project 8 have done something a little cunning with the title. This is actually the eighth game in the series, so they’ve put a number 8 in it! Hilarious! Ahem.
XBox 360 owners can rejoice in the fact that their version has a full online multiplayer mode not found on any other release, which is a trifle odd when you consider that the series began on the original PlayStation (maybe Neversoft have fallen out with Sony, who knows).

If you’ve been visiting this site for any period of time, you may have noticed that I’m quite harsh on games based on movies – I only do it to warn everyone about how bad they generally are. I’m aware that some people enjoy crap games, which is fine, but I’d hate to see someone buy one on the expectation of it being good.
The Incredible Hulk is yet another title to add to the ever expanding list of mediocrity. At least Edward Norton provides the voice for Bruce Banner, although I doubt this would be a deal-breaker!

In a nice bit of generosity (I suppose), Microsoft are selling the XBox 360 20GB Hard Drive for the lower price of £12.99.
The offer is open to either Arcade or Core console owners who don’t have a hard drive, as there’s a new update thing coming out in November which needs extra space or something.

Even though it’s the ninth game in the long-running series, Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground is somewhat disappointing. With the arrival of Skate, me thinks that Neversoft will have to pull something out of the bag to bring people back to them.
If you’ve never played a Tony Hawk title before, they’re skating games that give you the freedom to perform tricks anywhere you feel like. Along the way there’s various items to unlock, and new characters to find as well.

After the huge success of Viva Piñata, a sequel was inevitable. Many thought that Viva Piñata: Party Animals would be it, but it was instead a collection of mini-games – however, Viva Piñata: Trouble In Paradise IS a true sequel. Chances are very high that if you were a fan of the first one, that you’ll enjoy this one just as much.
32 new animals have been added to the mix, raising the total to 100. A range of different game modes are now present as well, including one where you can hop in to begin work on a garden (without worrying about running out of money or unlocking items) and another where piñatas can be entered in beauty contests (!) and races.

FIFA 09 £32.99
15 Oct
It’s now quite a difficult choice to make when it comes to football games, with FIFA 09 being on a par with PES 2009: Pro Evolution Soccer. Well done EA for finally seeing that shoving out the same game every year with small updates was a bad idea!
This year’s release comes with the usual smattering of new additions, the best of which looks like the pay-based Adidas Live Season. It updates player stats on a weekly basis, but costs £4.99 per league (or £12.99 for all six leagues available).
Click here to buy the XBox 360 version, or click here to get the PlayStation 3 release – both of which are £32.99 each at ShopTo.
With FIFA improving every year, there’s increasing pressure on the Pro Evolution Soccer team to come up with fresh ideas to keep them ahead. With PES 2009: Pro Evolution Soccer, there’s one or two new things which add more to the game than ever before.
You can now change your tactics to adjust to specific situations, off-the-ball movement has been improved, and things like the heaviness of the ground can affect gameplay. There’s a couple of new modes too in the form of UEFA Champions League (with all the elements and attributes you’d expect) and Be A Legend (where you control a particular player throughout his career).
ShopTo are selling the PlayStation 3 version for £32.99 – for more information on this cheap games‘ availability, click here. The XBox 360 release is also the same price, from the same retailer, and you can get it by clicking here.
