Need For Speed: Prostreet is a good racing game, but it must be said that all of the cars have shoddy performance and unrealistic handling. It’s also a pity that the makers decided to move away from the traditional roots of street racing.

What I will say is that the online multiplayer mode is quite possibly one of the best around, as it’s much more integrated into the game than ever before and offers a greater level of competition as well.

I’ve been an on/off fan of professional wrestling for as long as I can remember, right back to when Hulk Hogan was capable of having watchable matches and Vince McMahon was just a commentator (OK he still owned the company, but didn’t have an on-screen role as owner).

WCW was the WWF’s main competitor for may years, until they sunk without a trace and the WWE bought what was left of it. Since then, many companies have tried to fill the void left by WCW but only one has even succeeded a little bit – TNA.

TNA: iMPACT! is their very first video game, but it’s sadly an incredibly mediocre outing. All of the big stars (like Kurt Angle, Christian Cage, Samoa Joe, and Sting) are present and the graphics look great, but it gets very repetitive and it’s far too easy when playing against the computer.

Click here to get the PS3 version, or click here for the XBox 360 release – both of which are £17 each at Zavvi. It’s one of those cheap games to get if you’re a fan, but for everyone else it’s probably worth waiting until the price goes down even more.

If there’s one criticism you could have about the Pro Evolution series, it’s that they haven’t yet got the online multiplayer mode quite right. That’s really the only thing that stops PES 2009: Pro Evolution Soccer from being "excellent" rather than "great".

Two new modes are included with this year’s entry, in the form of UEFA Champions League (complete with all the elements and attributes of the competition) and "Become A Legend" – the latter being a brilliant idea, as you control one player throughout his career.

MX Vs ATV: Untamed is an off-road racing game that includes a huge amont of different modes to choose from. Motocross, Opencross, Supercross, Supermoto, Endurcross, and Mini-bikes are just some of what’s on offer.

It’s quite easy to pick and play as well, which means that anyone of any age should get some amount of fun from playing. It’s just a shame that there’s no sign of any online multiplayer, but there is an offline one that at least goes some way to rectifying this oversight.

Clive Barker is well known for his horror novels and films, so the next obvious thing for him to do would be to write the story for a video game – with the result being Clive Barker’s Jericho.

The other day we featured Grand Theft Auto IV for £19.99 – sadly Play.com have decided to raise the cost, which is incredibly annoying. Damn you Play.com and your changeable prices!

If you’ve never heard of this game before, may I ask if you’ve been living under a rock? If you have, then it’s an open-world title where you can roam about and do pretty much anything you can imagine, right down to picking up hookers from some sexytime. You can also kill them as well, which is something that many frown upon.

HMV have the PlayStation 3 version priced at £24.99 – click here for more details on this cheap games‘ availability.

Sometimes reviewers can be so overly critical of games that almost everyone gets a negative opinion of it, as is the case with Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. OK, it’s not the best thing since sliced bread – but it is a somewhat enjoyable co-operative action game.

Two men bound by circumstance as they wait on death row for their final sentence are forced to team up on a violent and chaotic journey, hating each other every step of the way. Play this before the film comes out and ruins any lingering memories that you have/had.
