It’s interesting to note that John Woo Presents: Stranglehold is quite unique, in that it’s actually the sequel to Hong Kong action film "Hard Boiled". Chow Yun-Fat even returns as Inspector "Tequila" Yuen, which marks the first time Woo and Chow have collaborated since the movie was made.

The game itself is pretty darn good, especially if you’re a bloke! Although it can get a little repetitive, the story stays true to the style of John Woo’s work and the battles are very, very enjoyable – it looks absolutely brilliant as well.

Play.com are selling this PS3 title for £4.99 – click here for more details. Definitely one of those cheap games that lovers of shot-em-ups will enjoy.

When the PlayStation 3 launched in 2006, Resistance: Fall Of Man quickly became one of the best first-person shooters on the market. Nearly two years later, its sequel has arrived in the form of Resistance 2.

Nathan Hale travels to the United States in order to once again battle the Chimera, who have launched a full scale invasion of both the East and West coasts. This time out he’s a member of a special task force of soldiers called "The Sentinels", who, like him, are resistant to the Chimeran virus.

Long-time players of the Soul Calibur games will be glad to hear that in Soul Calibur IV you can finally take the fight online – I have to admit that there’s very little more enjoyable than battering some poor sod on the other side of the world!

If you’re new to the series fret not, as it’s very easy to pick up and play. This doesn’t mean that experienced gamers should feel left out though, because there’s plenty of depth (including a huge amount of single player challenges in the "Tower Of Lost Souls" mode).

Click here to get the XBox 360 version for £9.99 from Play.com, or click here to get the PlayStation 3 release for the slightly higher price of £12.87 from CoolShop. Either one of these cheap games will make an excellent addition to your collection, especially if you enjoy fighters!

Call Of Duty 3 is the third installment in the first-person shooter series and is the only one not to appear on home computer platforms. It’s also only the second World War II game to feature Canada as a playable country – something which is a bit of a mystery why they have been overlooked previously, if you ask me.

Although this is still a very decent title, up against others bearing the Call Of Duty tag it falls short somewhat. The graphics and sound are both excellent, however since Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out the multiplayer mode looks rather dated.

Mirror’s Edge is a first-person action-adventure game set in a conformist dystopia in which communication is heavily monitored by a totalitarian regime (remind you of anywhere?). A network of runners, including the main character Faith, are therefore used to transmit messages whilst evading the Government.

If there’s one criticism you could have about this game, it’s that it’s a little on the short side – don’t be surprised if you’ve completed it within a couple of days or so. Well worth getting if you’re looking for something a bit different from the norm though.

Click here to buy the PlayStation 3 version, or click here to get the XBox 360 release – both of which are £9.99 each at ShopTo.

Even during one of the worst recessions in recent history (apparently), the PS3 continues to sell well both in this country and around the world. Perhaps this shows that Sony were right not to cut the price of the system – although a slight reduction would have been nice!

Amazon currently have a deal whereby you can get a Sony PlayStation 3 80GB console, with three games, a Blu-Ray movie and an HDMI cable, for £289.99. Titles to choose from include UFC 2009: Undisputed, FIFA 09 and Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
