The makers of Tony Hawk’s Project 8 have done something a little cunning with the title. This is actually the eighth game in the series, so they’ve put a number 8 in it! Hilarious! Ahem.

XBox 360 owners can rejoice in the fact that their version has a full online multiplayer mode not found on any other release, which is a trifle odd when you consider that the series began on the original PlayStation (maybe Neversoft have fallen out with Sony, who knows).

If you’ve been visiting this site for any period of time, you may have noticed that I’m quite harsh on games based on movies - I only do it to warn everyone about how bad they generally are. I’m aware that some people enjoy crap games, which is fine, but I’d hate to see someone buy one on the expectation of it being good.

The Incredible Hulk is yet another title to add to the ever expanding list of mediocrity. At least Edward Norton provides the voice for Bruce Banner, although I doubt this would be a deal-breaker!

If you fancy the Wii version, click here to buy it for £9.97 from PC World. PlayStation 3 (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) owners can get their releases for £9.99 from Comet, whilst DS players can click here to buy their version for £11.49 from Forget The Rest.

In a nice bit of generosity (I suppose), Microsoft are selling the XBox 360 20GB Hard Drive for the lower price of £12.99.

The offer is open to either Arcade or Core console owners who don’t have a hard drive, as there’s a new update thing coming out in November which needs extra space or something.

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.

After the huge success of Viva Piñata, a sequel was inevitable. Many thought that Viva Piñata: Party Animals would be it, but it was instead a collection of mini-games - however, Viva Piñata: Trouble In Paradise IS a true sequel. Chances are very high that if you were a fan of the first one, that you’ll enjoy this one just as much.

32 new animals have been added to the mix, raising the total to 100. A range of different game modes are now present as well, including one where you can hop in to begin work on a garden (without worrying about running out of money or unlocking items) and another where piñatas can be entered in beauty contests (!) and races.

It’s now quite a difficult choice to make when it comes to football games, with FIFA 09 being on a par with PES 2009: Pro Evolution Soccer. Well done EA for finally seeing that shoving out the same game every year with small updates was a bad idea!

This year’s release comes with the usual smattering of new additions, the best of which looks like the pay-based Adidas Live Season. It updates player stats on a weekly basis, but costs £4.99 per league (or £12.99 for all six leagues available).

With FIFA improving every year, there’s increasing pressure on the Pro Evolution Soccer team to come up with fresh ideas to keep them ahead. With PES 2009: Pro Evolution Soccer, there’s one or two new things which add more to the game than ever before.

You can now change your tactics to adjust to specific situations, off-the-ball movement has been improved, and things like the heaviness of the ground can affect gameplay. There’s a couple of new modes too in the form of UEFA Champions League (with all the elements and attributes you’d expect) and Be A Legend (where you control a particular player throughout his career).

ShopTo are selling the PlayStation 3 version for £32.99 - for more information on this cheap games‘ availability, click here. The XBox 360 release is also the same price, from the same retailer, and you can get it by clicking here.

Although the Project Gotham Racing and Gran Turismo series’ have been ahead of the pack for some time, there’s a new contender on the scene in the form of Race Driver: Grid - and it’s quite possibly better than both of them.

It’s a hybrid of arcade and simulation racing, and comes with a total of 43 different vehicles to choose from. A brilliant innovation is the instant replay feature which lets you rewind time by 1o seconds, allowing you to see in real-time any moments that you deem worthy of seeing again.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is the sequel to PC title Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but is set in the same universe as Quake II and Quake 4 - just to confuse the heck out of everybody! There’s also a minimal back-story which serves as a prequel to Quake II thrown in for good measure.

The graphics on the next-generation console versions are nowhere near as good as the PC release, which is a bit disappointing. However, if you enjoy multiplayer-based shoot-em-ups then I’m sure you’ll like this one too.

First off, an apology - the site hasn’t been updated for some 12 days now, as I’ve had the flu. You’ll be glad to hear that I’m better now, so expect updates every day from now on. Great.
