Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll no doubt be more than aware that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now out. Some worried whether the hype would prove to be too much to live up to – but thankfully Infinity Ward have managed to pull it off, and present the very best game in quite some time.

This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Hardened Edition set comes with a copy of the game, plus some additional goodies. These include a steelbook case with custom artwork, a "Behind The Lines" hardbound artbook, and a code to download "Call of Duty: Classic" (the original PC title).

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 is the eleventh entry in the WWE Smackdown series, and is named after two of the professional wrestling promotion's three brands – although it should be noted that ECW performers are included too (they just get shoved to the bottom of the cover art!).

Lots of new features have been added this year, with the most interesting probably being the story designer mode where you can design storylines using a variety of preset options. Two new exciting match stipulations, in the form of Championship Scramble and mixed tag team, also look like worthy newcomers.

In a move that I really wish more developers would consider, Burnout Paradise has been updated on a fairly regular basis since its original release in 2008. Not only have some glitches been fixed, but Criterion Games have also added bikes as vehicles to race on.

Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box contains the game along with nearly all of the free expansions and patches. You also get the "Party Pack" premium downloadable content stuff, which has a range of new single-console multiplayer modes that up to eight players can take part in.

If standard racing games aren't your thing, then maybe you should look into the off-road genre – there's still the driving element, but you can perform all sorts of mad tricks and mental stunts.

Pure is probably the best to appear in quite some time, with vertigo-inducing vertical jumps and spectacular tricks being the order of the day. These, combined with a pumping soundtrack, make this well worth taking a look at.

Whilst the original was criticised by many for being unoriginal and pretty boring, Overlord II is a much improved effort – the combination of great humor and a unique combination of action and strategy make this something well worth adding to your collection.

Taking control of the previous Overlord's son, you must battle against a Roman-inspired civilisation known as the "Glorious Empire" – who are hell-bent on eradicating or enslaving known magical creatures…

After proving a massive success across multiple platforms, it should come as no surprise to see a sequel to Marvel: Ultimate Alliance in the shape of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 – I can imagine it took absolutely ages to come up with that title though!

The game features a whole range of different characters from the Marvel Comics universe, including old favourites like Spider-Man and Hulk, and the story follows two story arcs from the series' "Secret War" and "Civil War" (which should be recognisable to long-time fans).

To get the PlayStation 2 release for £9.99 from ShopTo, simply click here. PlayStation 3 (click here), Wii (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) owners can get their versions for £24.99 each from Play.com.

WET is a third-person shooter that sees you play as gun-for-hire Rubi Malone (voiced by the lovely Eliza Dushku) who agrees to find and bring back a wealthy man's wayward son – until the man who hired her turns out to be someone else entirely and she has to go on the run…

Whilst reviews of this have been mixed, and the lack of any multiplayer and/or online mode is a tad disappointing, if you're a fan of Tomb Raider style games then you're sure to like this just as much.

Click here to get the PlayStation 3 release, or click here to buy the XBox 360 version – both of which are £12.99 each at HMV. Either one of these cheap games should prove to be enough of a challenge for pretty much everybody.

Rogue Warrior is a forthcoming tactical first-person shooter which is loosely based on the autobiography of former U.S. Navy SEAL Richard Marcinko. In it you play as Marcinko, who has been sent on a mission into North Korea to disrupt ballistic missile launchers – with ventures into other places like Russia happening along the way.

Mickey Rourke provides the voice of the main character, which is nice, plus there's rumored to be a massive online multiplayer mode included too – however, very little else is known at this time about the game itself.

The Hut are selling both the XBox 360 (click here) and PlayStation 3 (click here) versions for £17.93 each.
