    Yep, still no friends. I better get the ball rolling. I will assume second hand value is what you are after. You should at least state what you have played and what interests you.

    MGS4 - great game with a great story. Should get this for 45.

    Uncharted Drakes Fortune - Very addictive but a bit easy. Pick up for 25-30.

    Burnout Paradise - Fast paced racing. Good for a quick race and then switch off with a grin on your face. 30

    GT5 prologue. Very easy but a good buy for 30.

    COD4, GTA4, Heavenly Sword apparently, Ratchett and Clank, Motorstorm, Resistance and the Orange Box I believe is good?

    Uncharted Drakes Fortune is a must. Great storyline, great action and very funny dialogue in places.

    COD4 is a modern classic. While the single player game is quite short, just look upon it as a training exercise for multiplayer where it becomes addictive as the more people you kill, the more upgrade points you get where you can obtain better weapons.

    Resistance is a great game that will keep you occupied for a week or so but not much replayability factor to it.

    Ghost Recon 2 is a brilliant squad game and excellent action.

    Games to avoid are Haze (awful, brutal, terrible, waste of money even if you get it for free!!) and Turok (terrible graphics for a next gen game.)

    Ah sorry lads, I meant what's out now as a new release. I have/have owned most of the games listed and I was wondering what's new in the charts now? Mercenaries 2 any use?

    If you have a credit card, get Siren: Blood Curse on the PSN.

    Also get Madden 09 when you see it.

    Other than that, its a pretty dry spell until LittleBigPlanet comes out. Maybe PES2009 as well.

    You mean Fifa '09, right? What about Star Wars? It sucks, any time I get the urge to buy a game, there's always a landmark release about a month after....and I can rarely hold off.

    You must'nt realise then that releases for new games is seldom on a weekly basis, the next half decent game out is Star Wars in two weeks, last one was Tiger Woods there last week, before that it was Battlefield

    I was trying a little humour - you suggested PES 09, I said Fifa 09, little bit of rivalry etc etc. Ahem. I never actually got around to playing Warhawk.

    I'd say avoid Mercs 2 like the plague. Get Battlefield: Bad Company instead. Really good multiplayer.

    Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is out on the 29th too.
