If you like your puzzle games fast and furious, whilst still retaining that addictiveness that they seem to have most of the time, then Frantix could be right up your street.

Over 150 different challenging levels are on offer, which are all played out in front of some very high quality 3D graphics. The U.S. version includes a short film as a bonus feature, but we sadly don’t get it (no idea why).

SoftUK are selling this PSP title for just £2.99 – click here for more details.

LocoRoco 2 is the sequel to one of the most popular games on the PSP, and comes with a range of new features. These include the ability to swim underwater, and to squeeze through crevasses – not to mention climbing inside shells to destroy thorns, and jumping from grass blade to grass blade.

25 new stages will provide more than enough challenge for most, but there are an additional six mini-games to be found as well. The great news is that these can be played with up to three other friends from the one console, making for even more fun.

If you’ve got a PSP, and fancy taxing your mind with some puzzling questions and challenges, then Buzz! Master Quiz could be just the thing for you – and it’s completely different from the PS2 and PS3 entries in the series as well.

Over 3,000 brand new questions across six all-new rounds mean that you won’t get bored of this any time soon. Even better is the fact that five other players can compete with you on the one console, via the "Pass Around" function.

Shaun White Snowboarding features five different mountains to race around, including Alaska, Park City, Europe and Japan – each one also has three sections (peak, back country, and park).

Whilst most of the versions of the game are fairly similar, the Wii one is like an entirely new title. Not only does it have a unique storyline and adventure, but it also takes full advantage of the Wii Balance Board.

Amazon are selling the DS release for £17.98 – click here for more details. Gamestation have the PSP version (click here) available for the same price, and over at Gameplay you can pick up the XBox 360 release (click here) for £17.99.

Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip (which is the title of the Wii version) can be yours for £24.98 from Amazon by clicking here.

First off an apology – technical problems have stopped any updates from appearing for just over two weeks now. It’s all sorted, thankfully!

Anyway, there’s a Sainsburys video game clearance on instore at the moment, which features a decent amount of top-notch reduced titles. These are being sold off because of the distribution company Entertainment UK going in to administration.

At the moment there’s a couple of Argos vouchers that are well worth taking advantage of, especially if you have any last-minute Christmas shopping to do.

Enter AFD10 at the checkout to get free delivery, and XMASDISCOUNT to save £5 when spending £50 or more or £10 when spending £100 or more.

Click here to visit their site, and remember that using both together will give you even bigger savings.

This takes the PSP Slime And Lite, with two games, down to £97.59 from £107.59 (2.5% VAT comes off too). Other things to consider are a black, green, pink, red, silver, turquoise, or white DS Lite for £90.77, or a Nintendo Wii for £166.16.
