NHL 08

Ice hockey games are great, especially when a fight breaks out - nothing better than smacking someone round the head with a big glove.

I’m not the world’s biggest fan of the sport, but I can see the appeal in battering around a small puck with wooden sticks, even if most of this country can’t.

Need For Speed: Prostreet

Need For Speed: Prostreet is the best Need For Speed game for quite a long time - that being said, it’s still not as good as the likes of Burnout.

Compete around the world and prove you have what it takes to be king of the street.

Click here for the PlayStation 2 version which is £9.96 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £11.95 delivered) or the PlayStation 3 release is £20.96 (click here) - both from the good folks at Amazon.

Jumper

I wonder if there will ever be a really decent game based on a film (I’m discounting The Godfather as it came out ages after the film did!)?

Jumper is another mediocre attempt at bridging the divide between the two mediums - to put it mildly, it stinks.

Click here to get the PlayStation 2 version for £11.99, click here for the Wii release (which is £14.99) or click here for the XBox 360 one which is £16.99 - all are from HMV, who clearly want to get rid of it (and who can blame them).

The Shield

The Shield, on the PS2, is based on the television series of the same name.

Keep the streets clean by using your own brand of justice - the Vic Makey way.

Guitar Hero

The very first game in the Guitar Hero series has a good selection of songs to play along to - from David Bowie through to Ozzy Osbourne, and eveything in between.

I’d recommend picking this up while it’s in stock, as not many places have copies left.

The Golden Compass

The Golden Compass wasn’t that well received as a film, and the less said about the game the better.

Sometimes movie tie-in titles are average, but this isn’t even that good!

Click here (if you dare!) to buy the PlayStation 2 version for £4.99 from Play.com.

Swords Of Destiny

Swords Of Destiny has been dropping in price for quite some time now - there’s nothing wrong with it, just it’s a bit old!

The story is the age-old tale of a man fighting to vanquish evil in order to save the world (nothing new there then).

DVD.co.uk have reduced this PS2 game to just £4.99 - for more details, click here.

Ape Escape 3 is another PS2 cheap game

Ape Escape 3 continues to elaborate upon the core theme of the Ape Escape series: capturing monkeys. Although staying faithful to the originality of this hit franchise, Ape Escape 3 brings additional advances to the Ape Escape series.

Packed with more content than any former Ape Escape title, Ape Escape 3 has a full twenty-eight stages (136 total areas, compared with eighty-four for the previous installment) and lots of mini games.

Boasting over 430 monkeys to capture, Ape Escape 3 calls upon the skills of seasoned monkey-catchers Satoru and Sayaka who both feature as playable characters. Additionally, our heroes now have a wardrobe of super-powered costumes to select from, each with new powers and abilities. Choose from 7 varied attires, depending upon the situation - use Sayaka’s Cowgirl outfit to administer hot leaden justice from your twin six-shooters, or give the monkeys a gothic kicking with Satoru’s knight armour, finished with shield and lance.
