The original Trackmania was an exciting and fun driving game, and Trackmania DS promises to be more of the same - plus a whole lot more. It’s quite an interesting title actually, as it combines elements from puzzle games to give a very unique experience unlike any other racing game.

Along with the three single player modes there’s a multiplayer option, although there’s sadly no online mode (for shame). An excellent track editor is also included, which means that you should never really tire of it.

Paint By DS £8

19 Oct

Paint By DS

As the DS uses a stylus to control things, it’s inevitable that painting titles would appear. Paint By DS challenges you to recreate classic artworks using the stylus, from artists including Van Gogh and Cezanne.

There’s a total of 15 different paintings to complete, each of which has their own level of difficulty. Reviews have been mixed, probably because you need a bit of interest in fine art to appreciate what you’re doing.

Pop in to your nearest Asda and pick this DS game up for just £8.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men £9.73

19 Oct

Sometimes reviewers can be so overly critical of games that almost everyone gets a negative opinion of it, as is the case with Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. OK, it’s not the best thing since sliced bread - but it is a somewhat enjoyable co-operative action game.

Two men bound by circumstance as they wait on death row for their final sentence are forced to team up on a violent and chaotic journey, hating each other every step of the way. Play this before the film comes out and ruins any lingering memories that you have/had.

Sony PSP 3000 (With Two Games) £149.89

Sony PSP 3000 (With Two Games)

PSP owners complained for some time that the original design was a bit too chunky, so Sony went down the same route Nintendo did with the DS and released a slimmer version.

The PSP Slim And Lite was 33% lighter and 22% slimmer, but this wasn’t enough - so they also manufactured the Sony PSP 3000. It has an improved LCD screen and built-in microphone, and also has slightly modified buttons (start and select have changed from semi-circles to ovals).

Gamestation have two decent bundles available for £149.89:

PSP 3000 with FIFA 09 plus another selected title (from Buzz! Quiz Master, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, LocoRoco, Need For Spped: Carbon, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, and Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

PSP 3000 with Lego Batman: The Video Game plus another selected title (from Buzz! Quiz Master, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, LocoRoco, Need For Spped: Carbon, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, and Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

Grand Theft Auto IV £19.99

18 Oct

With the massive hype before it’s release there was a danger that Grand Theft Auto IV could have been a huge letdown. Thankfully, it’s turned out to be the best in the series and quite possibly the best game of 2008.

It’s set in a redesigned version of the fictional Liberty City, which strongly resembles modern day New York City. You play as Niko Bellic, a war veteran from Eastern Europe, who comes in search of the American Dream but quickly becomes entangled in a seedy underworld of gangs, crime, and corruption.

Click here to get the PS3 version, or click here for the XBox 360 release - both of which are £19.99 each at Play.com. There is a slight difference between these two cheap games, in that the 360 version has downloadable content coming soon (although it wouldn’t surprise me to see it appear on the PS3 at a later date).

XBox 360 Elite Bundles £249.99

18 Oct

XBox 360 Elite

The XBox 360 Elite console is considered the top-end of the market, as it is the one with the most amount of hard drive space - it’s also the most expensive of the three systems, but you’re paying for a genuinely top quality item.

It differs from the others by coming in a black finish, and also has a massive 120GB hard drive which should provide you with more than enough space for downloads and game saves.

There’s a couple of XBox 360 Elite bundles available for £249.99 at Play.com. Click here to buy the one with copies of Fable II and Fallout 3, or click here for the other one which has copies of Fable II and FIFA 09.

Lego Batman: The Video Game £24.49

18 Oct

We’ve had Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones games, and now it’s time for potentially the best idea so far - Lego Batman! Here’s hoping they can come up with more titles that have their tongue firmly planted in their cheek (X-Men would be good *hint* *hint*).

In Lego Batman: The Video Game you can fight as either heroes or villains on land, sea, and in the air using all types of different vehicles. There’s a total of 30 levels to explore (15 for the heroes, and 15 for the villains), as well as some secret levels that are unlocked as you progress.

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess £19.99

18 Oct

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Even though it was a launch title, The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess is still easily one of the best single player games on the Wii. Although not as great as Ocarina Of Time (which will probably never be surpassed), it’s still well worth adding to your collection.

The Wii Remote is used as a sword, and the Wii Nunchuk is used as the shield - it takes a little getting used to, but becomes quite natural after a while. The epic storyline will also keep you entertained throughout, and I’m sure that you’ll also love the fishing bits (which are incredibly addictive, for some reason).

Instore at Currys you can get this title for £19.99.
