If loading screens, online lobbies, and game menus are annoying to you and you enjoy racing games, then I have a feeling you’ll love Burnout Paradise - it gets rid of all the guff and gets down to business the second you put in the disc.

To start a race or event, all you have to do is pull up at a set of traffic lights which are dotted around Paradise City. There’s also the option to race on motorcycles, which you can get by downloading an update from XBox Live.

Out of the many driving series’ around, Project Gotham Racing is definitely one of the best. With some exciting new features, this is quite possibly the best one yet.

Kung Fu Panda is based on the film of the same name, and is aimed squarely at children. Progressing through the game unlocks more characters for you to control and use in the multiplayer modes.

As with many titles that have been released recently, this comes with a fair amount of mini-games to take part in. Even more characters can be unlocked when taking part in these as well.

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.

A lost city has mysteriously reappeared in a remote desert, and has brought with it an evil that goes right back to the dawn of time. You control a Special Forces squad, trained in both conventional warfare and the arcane arts, who must hunt down and destroy it before it can destroy humanity.

Click here to get the XBox 360 release for £7.97, or click here to get the PlayStation 3 version for £13.56 - both are supplied by the good folks at Amazon.

With the massive hype before it’s release there was a danger that Grand Theft Auto IV could have been a huge letdown. Thankfully, it’s turned out to be the best in the series and quite possibly the best game of 2008.

It’s set in a redesigned version of the fictional Liberty City, which strongly resembles modern day New York City. You play as Niko Bellic, a war veteran from Eastern Europe, who comes in search of the American Dream but quickly becomes entangled in a seedy underworld of gangs, crime, and corruption.

Click here to get the PS3 version, or click here for the XBox 360 release - both of which are £19.99 each at Play.com. There is a slight difference between these two cheap games, in that the 360 version has downloadable content coming soon (although it wouldn’t surprise me to see it appear on the PS3 at a later date).

The XBox 360 Elite console is considered the top-end of the market, as it is the one with the most amount of hard drive space - it’s also the most expensive of the three systems, but you’re paying for a genuinely top quality item.

It differs from the others by coming in a black finish, and also has a massive 120GB hard drive which should provide you with more than enough space for downloads and game saves.

There’s a couple of XBox 360 Elite bundles available for £249.99 at Play.com. Click here to buy the one with copies of Fable II and Fallout 3, or click here for the other one which has copies of Fable II and FIFA 09.

After featuring Race Driver: Grid for a good price the other day, it’s my good news to tell you that it’s even lower today. Unless of course you bought it the other day, in which case you may want to lynch me.

This is a driving game in the same mold as Project Gotham Racing or Gran Turismo, except this is much better than both of them. Not only does it look amazing, the cars handle beautifully and excitement factor has been pushed up to 11 - it’s real edge-of-the-pants stuff at times, let me tell you.

Click here to buy the XBox 360 version for £22.49 from Powerplay Direct, or click here to get the PS3 release for £29.99 from Argos.

Halo 3 concludes the story that began back in 2001 with Halo: Combat Evolved on the XBox. As one of the best-selling XBox 360 titles of all-time, chances are high that you either have this already or know someone who does - although saying that, I don’t!

The story centres on the interstellar war between 26th century humanity and a collection of alien races known as the Covenant. You play as cybernetically-enhanced supersoldier Master Chief, as you wage war in defence of humanity alongside Marines and the alien race called Elites.

If there’s one good thing about having two big supermarket chains in this country, it’s that they love a good old price war when anything big comes out to buy.

PES 2009: Pro Evolution Soccer has only been out but a few hours as I type this, and already Asda have slashed the cost quite considerably.

Instore you can get either the PS3 or XBox 360 version for £27, which is pretty darn good. And the offer runs until Sunday the 19th of October, so you have a couple of days to get it in!

It’s fair to say that with any of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour games you know exactly what you’re going to get - namely the best golfing experience you can have without spending a bomb on green fees.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is the newest entry in the series, and comes with one or two new additions. The biggest is probably the appearance of Tiger Woods’ real-life coach Hank Haney who pops up to offer advice if and when you need it.
