The second week into the New Year and unsurprisingly this week's new releases are relatively thin on the ground. The sequel to 2007's co-op shooter Army of Two, Army of Two: The 40th Day, will likely be your best option this week, offering up some action-packed, cover-to-cover based co-op gameplay, while those looking to follow next month's Winter Olympics would do well by Vancouver 2010: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games. What a mouthful.
Here's a rundown of the various pre-order bonuses and options available for prospective buyers this week:
Army of Two: The 40th Day - Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP

Coming in at £39.99 GAME certainly isn't the cheapest place to pre-order, so if you're more interested in simply playing through the campaign rather than taking people out online, your best bet coolshop.co.uk, who have the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game going for £34.99 and the PSP version available for £24.49.

SEGA's mature answer to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games may not have any pre-order bonuses to its name, but it's sub-£30 price point could certainly make it an attractive buy to some. Thehut.com are offering up the best price at £29.73 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, with the PC version coming in at a lowly £17.73.
