If you’re going to be picking up a copy of The Club on the Xbox 360 when it’s released next month and you’re wondering about the achievements, then wonder no more as we’ve got them all listed here for you.

When we’re not at work playing games, talking about games, writing about games, thinking about games and making tea, we like nothing more than spending some quality free time with our loved ones and squeezing in some more game playing. But what games have been taking up our time in the past month (much to the annoyance of some of our partners)?

Well, this past month I have mostly been playing…
- Guitar Hero 3 – A fantastic game and the wireless controller allows me to jump off the sofa like an idiot. I’ve now progressed to medium woohoo!!

- Call of Duty 4 – Simply one of the best multiplayer games on the market, and I will probably still be playing this next month.

- Ghost Squad - a brilliant arcade shooter, mindless fun

- Wii Sports – The best pack-in game there has ever been. Played this with family and friends over Christmas and had such a great time with it. I even managed to complete a game of bowling with nothing but strikes and spares.

- S.W.O.S – What a waste of money that was. I’ve tried time and time again to get a game online but the damn thing keeps locking up. Also, I’m annoyed you can’t take your custom team online.

Oh and I’ve just received my 5-disc Blade Runner: The Final Cut Blu-ray from the US so will be spending some time watching that and the extras when I can.

The Big Cheese says:
My hours of gaming have been divided up between the following digital delights:
- Football Manager Live Beta - Best game in the world, just superb.

- Super Mario Galaxy - Just pure joy, takes me back to the fun I had on Mario 64

- LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga - Another trip to a Galaxy far far away with red bricks and unlockable characters.

- Crackdown - I was so surprised that I loved this so much, I now dream of collecting ability orbs

- Call of Duty 4 - Multiplayer mayhem of the first degree.

- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games - Is this making me fitter?

- Assassin’s Creed - I know it’s a little dull, but it is ever so pretty!

ArchangelUK says:
There has been some expenditure in the AAUK household, which means new entries on my gameplay timetable.
- Guitar Hero 3 – Despite complaints about the “twanging” noise of strumming the guitar controller.

- Billy Hatcher & The Giant Egg – I want a sequel. I want one now. COCK-A-DOODLE DOO!

- SONIC The Hedgehog – I’ve now got 45% less hair.

- NiGHTS: Journey Of Dreams – Out Friday in the UK, I’m looking forward to demoing it to the main NiGHTS fanbase on Thursday.

- Crazy Taxi – My Crazy Taxi announcer impression gets even worse, but my driving gets better.

Dave says:
A normal gaming month from me I’m afraid, I don’t like change!
- Football Manager Live Beta – I’ve never been so emotionally attached to a football team, real or fictional. Dynamo Dave FC are by FAR the greatest team, Gameworld 3 has ever seen!

- Pro Evo 2008 – Spanked my brother and his mates on Sunday, and am regularly ruining the lunch breaks of Naz, one of our designers

- Arkanoid II – Internet broke on Saturday for a bit, back to some old-school Atari block-busting!

Mark O’Connell says:
- Call of Duty 4 - I’m still spending far too much time playing Call of Duty 4 online. While I frequently attempt to play other games, it isn’t long before a friend’s game invite lures me back in the trenches!

- Warhawk – I downloaded this over the weekend for Playstation 3 and am getting quite into it.

- Guitar Hero 3 – Having completed it on easy and medium, I am currently attempting to rock on Hard difficulty. I find the key to successfully doing this is to ignore my natural blinking reflex for 3 minute stretches.

- SingStar – Another PS3 title and the only one that my wife volunteers to play! If only I could actually sing…

- Super Mario Galaxy – I haven’t played this as much as I’d like to, but I’m looking forwards to spending more time with the moustached plumber soon!

- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games – We spent a little bit too much time playing this on Saturday evening, and woke up the following morning unable to move my arms or shoulders. Good times!

- Worms Mobile - Many a journey has been shortened thanks to this portable game of Worms!

From 9 a.m. GMT on Tuesday 8th January, an exclusive demo for the exciting new shooter, The Club™ will be available via download across Europe and Australia on the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Developed by industry revered development studio, Bizarre Creations, The Club™ mixes cutting edge high definition visuals with hyper-addictive score based challenges to deliver the most intriguing and innovative shooter of early 2008.

The demo features:

- The Prison environment; a disused crumbling, tomb-like Federal Penitentiary, lying in a remote region of one of the less glamorous Rustbelt states.

- One playable character exclusive to the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace version of the demo (Renwick, a tough, no nonsense, NYPD Detective whose investigations brought him too close to The Club™).

- Single player modes ‘Sprint’ and ‘Time Attack’.

- Multiplayer splitscreen.

As one of eight misfit gladiators players must fight in a shadowy underground blood-sport run by a secret group of sick millionaires. Each character has their own reasons for being in The Club™ – some are there against their will, others to experience the ultimate high. Whatever their reasons what unites them is the need to kill quickly and skilfully – a challenge those who download this demo will experience first hand.

UK Official Xbox 360 Magazine - “The rules of The Club are simple: you cannot break your stride. You cannot stop. You must be the perfect killing machine. This is Space Invaders for the Quentin Tarantino generation. Welcome to heaven”

The Club™ will be released across Europe on February 8th 2008 for the Xbox 360™, PLAYSTATION®3 and PC. For more information on The Club™ please visit www.theclubgame.com.

The Guinness Book of Records have launched a sneak peak of their 2008 Gamer’s edition which rather nattily (and unsurprisingly frankly) contains many SEGA related records.

The 24 page preview of the book contains various sections devoted to individual game series, platforms and types. Unfortunately they seemed to miss “most obscure ninja” for Martin, but we now know the following SEGA related records:

• 1999’s arcade version of Virtua Tennis was the first tennis game to use 3D graphics.
• Virtua Tennis 3 has more playable real life players than any other tennis game.
• The highest score achieved on the Dreamcast’s Virtua Tennis in exhibition mode is 44,000 by Jan Erik-Spangberg of Sweden.
• Sonic 2 is the best selling game on any SEGA console.
• Sonic Mega Collection is the world’s best selling retro games collection.
• The highest recorded total scored on Sonic 2 is 433,640 by a Heather Corocan of Arizona (under Twin Galaxies rules).
• Sonic is officially the fasted video game character in the world.
• Sonic Heroes featured more playable characters in a platform game (12) than any other game.
• Sonic The Comic is the longest running comic on a video game character, clocking in at over 14 years!
