Whilst you've probably heard it a million times before, it's worth mentioning again how brilliant Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is. Put simply, if you enjoy first-person shooting games you need to get a copy – it's the best in the genre in quite some time, and is probably even better than the more recent Call of Duty: World at War.

The Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Game of the Year Edition differs from the other version by including four brand-new multiplayer maps. Doesn't sound a lot, but then online multiplayer is something you'll be going back to for some time to come…

Although it's entering quite a crowded market, Japanese role-playing game Resonance of Fate has been very well received by reviewers – at least one going as far to say that it's one of the best of its kind to appear within the last decade.

You play as Zephr, a 17 year old boy who has the wonderful luck to be in a position to save Earth after a purifier, which has been protecting the planet from poisonous gases, begins to malfunction…

Green Day: Rock Band is the latest spin-off from the main music game series, and features a variety of different tracks from right across the band's career – meaning that you can now sing and play along with Billie Joe Armstrong and company.

A total of 47 songs are available, although it's a little surprising to note that there aren't going to be any extra tracks to download (though this could change in the future). All of "Dookie" and "American Idiot" are included, plus there's some 12 tracks from "21st Century Breakdown" too.

If you fancy the PlayStation 3 version, click here to buy it for £24.45 from Zavvi. XBox 360 owners can click here to buy their release for the same price from the same retailer – also, remember to take advantage of the Zavvi April discount vouchers to get at least £2 off.

Like most role-playing games, White Knight Chronicles sees your characters gain experience points and level up, becoming stronger as you progress – unlike many others though, this promises over 100 hours of gameplay!

While it's fair to say that the original was a very disappointing Western-themed first-person shooter, Call Of Juarez: Bound in Blood is completely the opposite – managing to blend fast-paced gameplay and brilliant graphics with an authentic Western feel.

Although the single-player campaign is a little on the short side and the enemy AI is often found lacking, the team-based multiplayer mode is great fun. Downloadable content is also available, extending the lifespan of the multiplayer mode by adding four new maps.

Being billed as an interactive drama might bring back some bad memories (step forward The X-Files Game and anything on the 3DO), but Heavy Rain manages to be that rarest of things – a diamond in amongst a genre filled with what can only be called absolute shit.

The story centres around four protagonists who are involved with the mystery of the Origami Killer, a serial killer who uses extended periods of heavy rainfall to drown his victims. Decisions and actions that you make will affect the narrative – main characters can be killed, and different scenes will appear depending on what you choose to do…

Promising some 80 hours worth of gameplay, it's fair to say that epic is something which is very appropriate for role-playing title Dragon Age: Origins – plus there's downloadable content which will add even more playing time (with possibly even more to come in the future).

The game itself sees you controlling a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted General in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice…

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Guitar Hero 5 appeared in the middle of September 2009. The slightly irritating thing is that yet another Guitar Hero title, in the form of Band Hero, was released soon after (November to be exact) – and is essentially the same thing, but with different songs.

85 tracks from 83 artists are available to play along with, and there are also special appearances from Johnny Cash and Carlos Santana. Many more are also for sale via download, including a Rolling Stones live pack and contributions from Blink-182 and Kiss.

If you fancy the XBox 360 version of Guitar Hero 5, with a guitar, click here to buy it for £49 from Tesco. PlayStation 3 owners can click here to buy their release for the same price from the same retailer, whilst Wii gamers can click here to buy their version for £49.99 from Powerplay Direct. Definitely one of those cheap games recommended to pretty much everybody!

After leaving the UK in a state of flux by not giving a firm release date to the God of War Collection, Sony have finally let us known that at the end of April we can enjoy both God of War and God of War II in glorious high definition – and about time too!

Also announced was The God of War Trilogy pack – which also comes with the latest and greatest entry in the series, God of War III. Here's hoping that Kratos comes back again some time soon, as this is easily one of the best games on the PlayStation 3.

ShopTo have this available for £48.99 – for more information, click here.
