It's interesting that in many war games, you can't actually destroy everything around you – however, in Battlefield: Bad Company you can do just that. Not a big selling point, I know, but something that was very welcome when it first came out.

Other titles, such as Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, may have had more fanfare and acclaim, but this should certainly not be missed. Large maps, a decent single-player campaign, and a wide array of vehicles, make it one of the most underrated games on the next-generation platforms.

Although it would help if you're a fan of the band, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith contains enough decent songs to play along with that this isn't something that is entirely necessary. Anyway, who can help but love such classics as "Walk This Way" and "Train Kept A-Rollin"?

It's interesting to see that many other groups have shown interest in getting involved with instrument video games – Guitar Hero: Metallica is out now, as too is Rock Band: The Beatles, and Van Halen have been lined up for a game of their own some time in 2010.

Click here to get the PlayStation 2 version for £7.73 from The Hut. Meanwhile, over at ShopTo you can get the XBox 360 (click here) release for £9.95, or either the PlayStation 3 (click here) or Wii (click here) versions for £12.85 each. Any one of these cheap games would make an excellent addition to anyone's collection.

If there's only one thing I can say about Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, it's that if you don't own a copy then you must be prepared to crawl across broken glass to get one – it's simply the best game made in quite some time. Even better than Sensible Soccer, if you can believe such a thing is possible!

An intense single player campaign would have been enough for most, but the inclusion of an online multiplayer mode which takes the very idea to new heights makes this unmissable. Even though the sequel has rightly been heralded as excellent, it's still well worth giving this a go…

Game have the PlayStation 3 version available for £19.99 – for more information, click here. XBox 360 owners can click here to get their release for the same price from the same retailer.

With all these different guitar and band-based games available, it makes you wonder what's next – except that we now have the answer, with the release of DJ Hero. I'm still waiting for Banjo Hero, Ukulele Hero and/or Sitar Hero…

Anyway, Rock Band: The Beatles is the latest offering from the team behind the original Rock Band. This includes some of the best songs the band ever made, plus you also get to see virtual versions of all four guys as you play along – all you drummers out there can now prove that you're better than Ringo (not hard, I know).

Click here to buy the Wii version of the Rock Band: The Beatles – Limited Edition Premium Bundle, which contains the game and a full special band kit, for £89.95 from ShopTo. PlayStation 3 owners can click here to buy their release for the same price from the same retailer. Definitely one of those cheap games that fans old and young will enjoy a great deal.

Band Hero is a spin-off from the Guitar Hero series, and is structured similarly to Guitar Hero 5 with the drop-in/drop-out and in-song instrument and difficulty change menus, plus additional new multiplayer modes. As this has been designed for a more mainstream audience, the songs are from more family-friendly artists (although Poison make an appearance with "Every Rose Has Its Thorn").

The Band Hero: Band Kit comes with everything you need to get started, plus a copy of the game itself. Contained inside the box is a guitar controller, a drum kit, and a microphone – all you'll want now is two friends/family members who agree to embarrass themselves!

If you fancy the PlayStation 2 version, click here to buy it for £119.99 from Play.com. PlayStation 3 (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) owners can buy their releases for £120 from Tesco.

If you're a fan of the Star Wars films (and who isn't?), then Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga should be right up your street. It's the first video game that allows you to play through all six of the Star Wars movies.

With over 160 different characters, revamped attacks, new special moves, new power-ups and redesigned levels, this is the ultimate in Star Wars gaming – all with a very tongue-in-cheek Lego twist.

Click here to get this PlayStation 3 game for £9.99 from Play.com.

Every year means new updates of all your favourite sports games, with the most eagerly anticipated being FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. FIFA 10 has the head start, but to be honest Konami will have to pull something fantastic out of the bag to beat this – it's better than ever (and FIFA 09 was brilliant).

As well as full roster and kit updates, the manager mode has been improved greatly – an authentic transfer system and other features making it a heck of a lot more enjoyable than previous outings. 50 stadiums can be played in now as well, plus the "Virtual Pro" mode expands upon "Be A Pro" from FIFA 09.

To get the PlayStation 2 release for £14.99 from Amazon, simply click here. Wii owners can click here to get their version for £22.85 from ShopTo, whilst both the XBox 360 (click here) and PlayStation 3 (click here) releases are £22.99 each over at Tesco.
