If you’re a fan of the Star Wars films (and who isn’t?), then Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga should be right up your street. It’s the first video game that allows you to play through all six of the Star Wars movies.
With over 160 different characters, revamped attacks, new special moves, new power-ups and redesigned levels, this is the ultimate in Star Wars gaming. With a Lego twist.
Instore at Toys R Us you can get this XBox 360 title for £16.99.
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.

Lost Odyssey £13.99
16 Jul
Lost Odyssey, on the XBox 360, is a very good title. The price of it has been falling for some time now, but trust me when I say that it’s well worth buying a copy. Go on, do it!
Elements of traditional role-playing games are combined with bits and bobs from such titles as World Of Warcraft, to create a more immersive and deep gameplay experience. Handy when you’re on an epic journey, I suppose.
Powerplay Direct have reduced the price to £13.99 - for more information on this cheap game, click here.
Wimbledon may be over for another year, but to tide you over until then you could do worse than consider getting Sega Superstars Tennis. Not as good as the real thing, although I’d personally take Sonic over Murray any day!
Not only can you play as your favourite Sega characters, there’s also the inclusion of some very recognisable arenas in which to play your games. The music might ring a bell as well.

Lost: The Video Game £4.99
16 Jul
Lost: The Video Game is based on Lost the TV series, surprisingly enough. In it you’ll encounter many of your favourite characters from the show, as well as some of the best moments from the series’ so far.
It’s not a great title by any means, as it’s not very long (total gameplay time amounts to about six hours) and is a bit too easy.
However now that you can get either the XBox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions for £4.99 from Comet, it’s well worth considering.
If you fancy the 360 release, click here to get it - you can’t order the PS3 one online, but you can get it instore (actually, you can get both instore).
Sonic Rivals 2 £9.99
15 Jul
Sonic Rivals 2 is a PSP exclusive that expands upon the original 2D action-platformer by including all-new "jostling" controls for tighter competition, and a brand new battle mode that allows two players to jump into six different multiplayer challenges.
Extra playable characters (including Tails!), 12 new stages, and upgraded signature moves bring a whole new level of fun to the PSP.

Asda Cheapness
15 Jul
You might be glad to hear that there’s some Asda cheapness to be had in the way of cheap video games.
You’ll probably be even happier to hear that I’ve managed to sift through the garbage to bring you the best deals.
Good times.

A couple of DS titles appeared on the 8th of July.
Some more games appeared on the 12th of July, including Dynasty Warriors 6 and Armored Core 4.
On the 15th of July some games were reduced and some more were added as well.
Genji: Days Of The Blade is based on the PS2 title Genji, and is set three years after the events of that game. Sadly this PlayStation 3 game suffers from being one of the first on the system - impressive graphics, but a distinct lack of gameplay value let it down badly.
It’s your typical "hack and slash" type game, with many enemies to defeat. However, some shoddy camera-work can at times leave you a bit peeved off! It is cheap though…
Comet have this title priced at just £4.99 - click here for more details (and use the "Collect from store" delivery option to save on postage). Not one of those cheap games that I can recommend, I’m afraid.
I’ve always enjoyed the 2D versions of Castlevania, but the 3D titles have been quite disappointing. It’s good news then that Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin goes back to what the series does best - scrolling 2D fun-time action!
You can control two different characters (vampire hunter Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Orlean, a young girl with magical abilities) who must thwart the attempts to rebuild Dracula’s castle and unleash a reign of evil upon an unsuspecting world.

Dark Sector £17.92
13 Jul
There’s a fair few first-person shooters around, many of which are extremely average. Dark Sector is another one of these average games - even though it does have a somewhat interesting story.
Hayden Tenno has been sent on an assassination trip (sounds like fun), but is attacked by some unseen enemy. He awakens to find that he has inhuman powers - now he must evolve with these abilities and become a hero.
