Anyway, there’s a Sainsburys video game clearance on instore at the moment, which features a decent amount of top-notch reduced titles. These are being sold off because of the distribution company Entertainment UK going in to administration.

Although Christmas is but only a few short days away now, if you’re searching for a last-minute gift that the whole family can enjoy then look no further than Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock.

You don’t even have to particularly like the songs that you play along to, but once you get into the swing of things you’ll never know how you lived without this in your life – seriously, expect arguments aplenty over whose turn it is next.

Instore at HMV you can pick up Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock, with a wireless guitar, from £28. The PlayStation 2 version is £28, whilst the PlayStation 3, Wii, and XBox 360 releases are £35 each.

Tomb Raider: Underworld is the eighth game in the Tomb Raider series, and resumes the adventure from where Tomb Raider: Legend left off. You’ll be glad to hear that some of the unexplained elements of the plots of both Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary are addressed.

Fans will get the most enjoyment from this, although newcomers shouldn’t be put off as it’s very easy to pick up and play. Special mention must go to the graphics and story, but the combat is still a bit dodgy and the camera angles can be a little haywire at times.

The Hut have the PlayStation 2 version up for preorder at £17.73 – for more information, click here. They also have the DS release (click here) for the same price, except it’s available right now.

PlayStation 3 owners can click here to get their version for the slightly higher price of £23.99 from ShopTo.

The Choices UK games clearance has been on for a couple of weeks now, but there wasn’t really anything worth mentioning in it – a few crappy PC titles and some cheapo PS2 games basically.

However, they’ve added some very decent titles to it today across all platforms. Be quick though, as stock is low and running out faster than a very fast thing.

It’s fair to say that in recent years WWE titles haven’t really changed that much. WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 still looks fairly similar, but if you look beneath the bonnet you’ll discover there’s more to do than ever before.

An updated roster, with new outfits and gimmicks, is a given – it’s everything else that’s of importance here though. For the first time ever you can compete in an Inferno match (where fire surrounds the ring), the tag team matches have been completely revamped, and there are four new game modes (Create-A-Finisher, Road to WrestleMania, Career, and a multiplayer season).

The Hut are selling the PlayStation 2 version for £17.73 – click here for more details. The same retailer has the DS release (click here) at the same price, whilst over at Amazon you can pick up the PS3 version for £18.49 by clicking here.

Even though you can now get a PlayStation 3, the PS2 still has many fantastic titles available for it. Where else can you play the brilliant Kingdom Hearts series, or enjoy the greatness that is Shadow Of The Colossus?

Not only that, but many big releases (like FIFA, Pro Evolution, or even Guitar Hero) are still coming out for the system at the same time as newer consoles – but at a much cheaper price.

Instore at Toys R Us you can pick up a PlayStation 2 console, with a game, for £48.93. The title in question is Buzz! Junior: Monster Rumble, and you also get four buzzers with it as well.

It’s sad to say that Need For Speed: Undercover isn’t anywhere close to being as good a racing game as others on the market today. The selection of vehicles to choose from is good and the handling is excellent, but it’s far too easy to beat the AI and the live-action cutscenes just look plain stupid.

I should mention now that ShopTo are running a special offer until 1pm on the 28th of November, where you can get either the PlayStation 3 (click here) or XBox 360 (click here) releases for £27.99 each.

ShopTo also have the PS2 (click here) and PSP (click here) versions available for the lower price of £19.99 each.
