Cheap Games

Puzzle games are always going to have an extra element of fun and/or difficulty on the Wii, and de Blob is no different. This sees you controlling a funny little blob who just so happens to share his name with the title, de Blob.

The evil I.N.K.T. Corporation have taken over Chroma City and outlawed all colour and fun – it's your job to re-animate the city and help the oppressed by splattering buildings, landmarks, and citizens with colour. After you've had your fill of single player, there's also a great multiplayer mode (though sadly without any online capabilities).

Play.com have this Wii title available for £6.99 – for more information, click here.

Promising some 80 hours worth of gameplay, it's fair to say that epic is something which is very appropriate for role-playing title Dragon Age: Origins – plus there's downloadable content which will add even more playing time (with possibly even more to come in the future).

The game itself sees you controlling a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted General in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice…

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Guitar Hero 5 appeared in the middle of September 2009. The slightly irritating thing is that yet another Guitar Hero title, in the form of Band Hero, was released soon after (November to be exact) – and is essentially the same thing, but with different songs.

85 tracks from 83 artists are available to play along with, and there are also special appearances from Johnny Cash and Carlos Santana. Many more are also for sale via download, including a Rolling Stones live pack and contributions from Blink-182 and Kiss.

After leaving the UK in a state of flux by not giving a firm release date to the God of War Collection, Sony have finally let us known that at the end of April we can enjoy both God of War and God of War II in glorious high definition – and about time too!

Also announced was The God of War Trilogy pack – which also comes with the latest and greatest entry in the series, God of War III. Here's hoping that Kratos comes back again some time soon, as this is easily one of the best games on the PlayStation 3.

ShopTo have this available for £48.99 – for more information, click here.

Even though its the seventh game in the series, Prince of Persia features no characters from any of the previous installments. Instead it primarily focuses on a new Prince and a secondary protagonist, Elika.

The duo explore an unidentified Persian city-state, cleansing the land of Corruption as they attempt to stop the god Ahriman from escaping his imprisonment. Beautiful graphics and easy to pick-up-and-play controls make this an excellent entry, and one that newcomers will enjoy just as much as veterans.

If you fancy this XBox 360 title, click here to buy it for £4.98 from Game. One of those cheap games I'd recommend to fans of Assassin's Creed and Tomb Raider.

With the announcement of a new smaller (in size anyway) PlayStation 3, it was hoped that Sony wouldn't arse about with the amount of hard drive space included – but they've since released a bigger 250GB option to go alongside the 120GB standard size.

Not only are you getting more storage for your money, it's considerably quieter than previous models and also uses a lot less power. Remember it can play Blu-Rays as well as games, so represents even better value for money than other consoles.

Play.com are selling a Sony PlayStation 3 250GB Slim console, with a game, for £269.99 – click here to get one with God of War III. Also available are packages with Heavy Rain (click here) or Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (click here) for the same price.

Although it's undoubtedly been the king of the off-road gaming scene, the MX vs. ATV series hasn't quite managed to break through the barrier to appeal to a bigger audience – the latest offering, MX vs. ATV Reflex, could very well be the first to do this though…

Racing motocross and supercross on motocross bikes or ATVs in a wide range of different events have always been a core staple of the franchise, but a brand-new control scheme and physics engine (along with real-time terrain deformation) make this well worth taking a look at.

Fuel is an open-world racing game set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by extreme weather due to global warming, with occasional sandstorms and tornadoes being the norm – plus the day-night cycle has been accelerated somewhat as well.

The single-player career mode will eventually allow you to unlock around 75 vehicles from six different classes, but it's the massive online multiplayer mode that will keep you coming back for more – up to 16 people can play at once!
