Cheap Games

Most people like to get a game or two when they buy a console, but with the Wii you don’t have that problem as Wii Sports is included with each one sold – actually, I wonder if they’ll ever stop doing that?

Anyway, Zavvi have a nice little deal running instore at the moment. For £190 you get the system itself (which comes with the aforementioned Wii Sports, a Wii Remote and a Wii Nunchuk), a copy of Mario & Sonic At The Olympics and a Wii accessory pack.

Great deal, as you’re essentially paying £10 for the Wii accessory pack and Mario & Sonic At The Olympics.

One of the best driving games of the year so far has to be Race Driver: Grid. With some truly fantastic graphics and very realistic handling, this is definitely up there with the Project Gotham Racing and Gran Turismo series’.

Take your cars out onto the streets and race around beautiful tracks in Europe, America and Japan – you can also race someone else anywhere in the world via XBox Live, which is nice.

Click here to buy this XBox 360 game for £29.99 from SoftUK.

If you can remember Turok on the Nintendo 64, you probably have memories of it being quite a good cross between Jurassic Park and Call Of Duty. The newest title in the series continues this theme, but is sadly not as good as other first person shooters available on the market.

Playing as Jason Turok, your mission is to take down a war criminal – your former mentor, Roland Kane. Set on a planet inhabited by Kane and his soldiers, use your elite training to overcome not only them but the other creatures that populate the environment.

There’s only one handheld console worth getting (in my opinion anyway) – the Nintendo DS Lite. With a great selection of games to choose from, as well as the ability to play your old GameBoy Advance games, it’s head and shoulders above the competition.

John Lewis are selling the black console along with a copy of Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? for £99.95. However, if you enter the voucher code PRR852PCH876 you get £10 off – taking the price down to £89.95.

If you want a game that has no gimmicky elements to it and is just staright-up no-nonsense fun, then consider Table Tennis on the XBox 360. It’s basically table tennis. And that’s it.

With great graphics and a very easy to use control scheme, this title is recommended if you want something that’s a bit addicitve – it’s bloody cheap as well.

Instore at Comet you can pick it up for the crackers price of only £2.99.

Okami was the last truely original game on the PlayStation 2, with it’s beautiful visuals and revolutionary design (which is very reminiscent of traditional Japanese art). This epic tale combines folklore and mysticism to create a very immsersive experience.

It’s out on the Wii next week, and takes full advantage of the Wii‘s unique control scheme – use it like a paint brush to perform various different manoeuvres.

For the very first time in the Ratchet & Clank series, Clank gets top billing in a full game of his own. When Ratchet is framed and jailed for a crime he didn’t commit, it’s up to Clank to solve the mystery and set his friend free.

This PSP exclusive title is due for release on the 4th of July, so there’s not long to wait – celebrate Independence Day with a game, why don’t ya?

DVD.co.uk have this game up for preorder at £17.99 – for more information, click here.

If you’re a PS3 owner, be sure to check out Ratchet & Clank: Tools Of Destruction which is priced at just under £20.

Do you care about mindless violence in video games? I didn’t think so, as it seems to be only people paranoid about everything who complain about them corrupting our minds. I for one would rather run over a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto IV than do the same thing in real life – surely that’s a good thing?

Anyway, you probably know all about this by now so there’s not much point in me trying to tell you what it’s all about. I can tell you that it’s probably the best game of the year so far though.

Click here to buy this PlayStation 3 title for £27.99 from Movietyme (this is a US release, but it will work perfectly fine on your PAL console – much the same as Haze will as well).
