After an extended break (bit longer than I planned, if I’m being honest - apologies for that!), we’re back. As you can imagine, there’s a fair amount of bargains to get through so let’s get going…

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga is the very first game that lets you play through all six episodes of the space saga. Combining this with the tongue-in-cheek humour associated with the Lego video games makes for a great gaming experience.

One of the highlights of Wii Sports is the golf bit, which helps show off some of the Wii’s abilities. If you’re looking for something similar, but slightly different, than King Of Clubs could be the game for you.

Instead of being your normal golf game with 18 rounds at various courses, this is a crazy golf title with 10 different courses to play on. There’s sadly no online multiplayer, although there is an offline one (i.e. in your living room, etc).

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is the very first Harvest Moon title to appear on the Wii. If you’ve never played any of the series before, the basic idea is that you run a farm in a place called Forget-Me-Not-Valley.

So far so boring, but really it’s much more than just a game about farming - you can explore the sights around town, or you can even get married! It takes a little time to get into, although once you’re hooked you’ll never know how you managed without Harvest Moon in your life.

Instore at Comet you can pick this up for £9.99. This is definitely one of those cheap games to get if you enjoy titles like Animal Crossing.

Emergency Mayhem is a Wii exclusive title that mixes fast and frantic driving action with hilarious arcade mini-games. Great, another Wii game with loads of mini-games - how original.

Racing as either a fire truck, ambulance or police car, you can either play the single player Career mode or the Party mode (where up to four players can take part).

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen And The Tower Of Mirrors is the very first Dragon Quest title to appear on the Wii. What with the Wii Remote being handily designed like a sword, you won’t be surprised to learn you can use it just like one.

A beautiful musical score helps fully immerse you into the game, and the rich and vibrant 3D world looks pretty darn amazing as well.

For many years, gamers eagerly anticipated a sequel to Sega Dreamcast title NiGHTS Into Dreams. There was excitement, then, when NiGHTS: Journey Of Dreams was announced for the Wii.

Sadly, it’s nowhere near as good as the original. Although the music and graphics are top notch, the boss battles are very confusing and the controls can be a bit awkward as well.

You can tell that video games are now becoming more accepted by the "mainstream" by the fact that Steven Spielberg is now helping make them. His first effort is Wii puzzle title Boom Blox.

On the surface this resembles such games as Jenga, but once you delve beneath you find a game that’s actually quite challenging. With over 300 levels and a decent multiplayer mode, this is well worth getting.

If you fancy this, click here to buy it for £24.98 from Amazon.

Mario games are usually excellent, and Super Paper Mario is no exception. Even though it’s quite different from most other Mario titles, it hankers back to the original Super Mario Brothers game somewhat.

The Wii Remote is used like a NES controller, whilst pushing A flips the perspective from 2D to 3D - giving seemingly flat worlds hidden depth, with plenty of secrets to discover.

Comet are selling this Wii game for £14.99 - for more information, click here (additionally, select the "Collect from store" option to save on postage).

I was under the illusion that Nitro Bike was designed by the same people behind Excite Truck (which is one of the best games available on the Wii, by the way) - how wrong I was. It tries very hard to be similar, but fails on almost every level.

The graphics look like something a child has created, the gameplay is almost nonexistent, and the online mode is so empty that you’d be mistaken for thinking you’d stumbled across a barren landscape untouched by human hands. Truly awful.

Beating up Mario sounds like a good way to pass the time, as does pummeling Pickachu (the annoying little twerp). Thank goodness then that Super Smash Brothers: Brawl lets you do these things and a whole lot more.

Fight against your favourite Nintendo characters, as well as some special guests, in some beautiful arenas. After you’re through battering the computer, take it online and beat your friends to a virtual bloody pulp.
