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.

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).

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.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is the sequel to PC title Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but is set in the same universe as Quake II and Quake 4 – just to confuse the heck out of everybody! There’s also a minimal back-story which serves as a prequel to Quake II thrown in for good measure.

The graphics on the next-generation console versions are nowhere near as good as the PC release, which is a bit disappointing. However, if you enjoy multiplayer-based shoot-em-ups then I’m sure you’ll like this one too.

First off, an apology – the site hasn’t been updated for some 12 days now, as I’ve had the flu. You’ll be glad to hear that I’m better now, so expect updates every day from now on. Great.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, with a wireless guitar, is the first band-specific title in the series and features songs not only by Aerosmith themselves, but other groups they have toured with or who have influenced them in some way.

The creators of the MotoGP series of games are well known for their in-depth racing simulations, so it’s something of a surprise how accessible and fun Pure actually is.

Taking the helm of a quad bike, that you can customise to your heart’s content, perform ridiculous and death-defying jumps that will very probably leave your underpants a darker shade of brown.

If you like puzzle games such as Lumines and Tetris, then Koloomn will be right up your street. This is also known as Kollon in Japan, or Ultimate Block Party in the US (just in case you’ve heard it by a different name).

Rotate four coloured blocks to match them up and cause them to disappear within a set time period, or else they’ll be forced to the top of the screen and you’ll lose. Sad times.

You may or may not have heard about the Sainsburys console offers that allegedly start today and end on Monday the 13th of October.

If you pop instore then you might be able to pick up the following:

Nintendo Wii £149.97
XBox 360 Arcade Pack £99.97
XBox 360 60GB Premium Pack £139.97

As I said, this is unconfirmed – however as soon as I get word that it’s 100% true, I’ll let you know.

UPDATE: This has now been confirmed as officially running. Stocks will be flying out the door, but I’d expect that deliveries should be fairly frequent to keep up with the demand. Expect ads to appear in the newspapers tomorrow as well.
