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.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, with a wireless guitar, is the first band-specific title in the series and features songs not only by Aerosmith themselves, but other groups they have toured with or who have influenced them in some way.

You may or may not have heard about the Sainsburys console offers that allegedly start today and end on Monday the 13th of October.

If you pop instore then you might be able to pick up the following:

Nintendo Wii £149.97
XBox 360 Arcade Pack £99.97
XBox 360 60GB Premium Pack £139.97

As I said, this is unconfirmed - however as soon as I get word that it’s 100% true, I’ll let you know.

UPDATE: This has now been confirmed as officially running. Stocks will be flying out the door, but I’d expect that deliveries should be fairly frequent to keep up with the demand. Expect ads to appear in the newspapers tomorrow as well.

One of the most popular series’ in recent times has been Guitar Hero, although the appearance of Rock Band has at least given it some competition. Both are fantastic in their own ways, with each having a great variety of songs to play along to.

Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock is the last guitar-only title in the series (Guitar Hero: World Tour will include drums, etc) and includes some great tunes to rock out to - Guns N’ Roses, The Sex Pistols, and The Rolling Stones are just a few of the featured artists.

Click here to buy the Wii version for £30.67, click here to get the PS3 release for £33.67, or click here to buy the XBox 360 version for the same price of £33.67 - all from Amazon.

Oh, I should also point out that these also come with wireless guitars. This makes this particular post one of the very top bargains I’ve seen this year - seriously outstanding value for money.

Warriors Orochi is a crossover game between the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series’, and Warriors Orochi 2 is the sequel to it. I should also point out that it’s only been out for a couple of weeks, which makes this price look slightly surprising.

After the events of the first game, the new land that was created found peace. However, former Orochi army officers (as well as many others who have nothing to do with Orochi) have broken away and formed their own armies. When a plan to bring back the Serpent King is discovered, a new group of warriors must join forces with history’s finest in battle to stop this evil resurrection.

Asda are selling this XBox 360 title for £14.93 - for more information, click here.

The price of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 seems to be getting lower and lower with every passing day, but this isn’t to say that it’s a bad game - far from it in fact, as it’s probably better than Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. Proof positive that not all cheap games that have been out a short time are crap!

You may be glad to hear that the online mode has been improved a great deal, and is now a much better experience all round. You’ll be slightly less glad to hear that Tiger Woods’ real-life coach is on-hand to give advice if and when you need it.

Click here to get the PlayStation 3 version, or click here for the XBox 360 release - both of which are £22.97 each at Amazon.

FIFA 09 is the newest entry in the long-running series of football games. It comes with a few new features, including improved responsiveness from players and a completely revamped collision system (which means that stronger players should be able to hold off others for longer).

Thank the Lord that goalkeepers have also been improved, with better positioning and reactions to saves. Evening games should feel more realistic as well, because the sky changes from light to dark while you’re playing.

Yes, I’m aware that we already featured the XBox 360 version of Half-Life 2: The Orange Box for £14.99 the other day. However, the PlayStation 3 version was lower than this - but has since sold out at the £12.93 pricepoint. Sad times.

It’s well worth picking this title up, by the way, as you’re getting five games in one. Not only are there Half-Life 2 and two expansion packs, but one of the best games of 2007 in Portal. Also included is team-based multiplayer Team Fortress 2.

ShopTo have the 360 release for £14.99 - click here for more details. Click here if you’re interested in the PS3 version, which is the same price from the same retailer.

One of the most realistic motorbike experiences you can have, this side of not killing yourself in the process, is with the SBK series of games. SBK 08: Superbike World Championship is the newest addition, and has more to offer than ever before.

Not only are there five racing styles to choose from, as well as six game modes, but there’s also a great little online mode. It’s so good that it’s easy to compare to more well known games like Forza 2, in all honesty.

Click here to buy this PSP title for £15 from Simply Games. Other versions are available for slightly more, including the XBox 360 for £17 from the same retailer (click here) or the PlayStation 3 release for £19.99 from Woolworths (click here).

There’s also the other usual little improvements graphics and gameplay wise, and this time the online mode has been improved to give a much better experience. All in all cheap games like this may not seem better than the previous entry in the series, however there’s enough new additions to warrant a look.
