Microsoft has just informed us that its 'Classics collection' in Europe, the Middle East and Africa has got plumper by three titles.

Halo 3, Mass Effect and Project Gotham Racing 4 have now joined the line, making their 'Estimated Retail Price' £19.99.

Offering up a spot of corporate blather is David Gosen, VP of marketing for Xbox Europe. “As we see more and more families looking to save money by staying in, Xbox 360 continues to offer high-quality home entertainment at fantastic value...” Zzzz. Sorry... where were we?

Yes, Halo 3. A perfect opportunity for Mum and Dad to cosy up on the couch with little Johnny and enjoy some wholesome family time...
