UPDATE: Some PlayStation 2 titles were added on the 2nd of July.

On the 8th of July a whole ton of new games appeared - I must admit that the Wii games for £9.99 each are great value.

Some notable titles appeared on the 10th of July. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Army Of Two are among them.

The 12th of July saw some more games added. UEFA Euro 2008 has started being reduced, I see. Not surprising really.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots

One of the best gaming series’, in my opinion anyway, has been the Metal Gear series. Great stories combined with some great gameplay equals great games - great!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots is allegedly the last time we will see Solid Snake, but what a final game to appear in! The single player campaign has a gripping storyline, and the new addition of Metal Gear Online (which will have updates throughout the year) is brilliant.

Click here to buy this PlayStation 3 title for £29.92 from Blah DVD.

In what’s good timing, when you consider that there’s another sale at Game, a £5 off discount voucher has appeared.

Simply spend £30 or more and enter the voucher code T5J194MZX to get your money off - click here to visit their website.

If you don’t see anything in the sale that you fancy, try this on for size. Bioshock on the PlayStation 3 is priced at £29.99 - however, if you add it and this wrapping to your basket you go over the £30 threshold. By entering the code, you end up getting Bioshock for £25.98!

Top bargain!

Mass Effect

If you’re looking for a game that has a compelling storyline and a decent amount of gameplay time, then look no further than Mass Effect. This XBox 360 exclusive is also one of the best games available on the console.

You uncover the greatest threat the civilisation has ever known - but sadly nobody believes you. Travelling across an expansive universe to piece the mystery together, you discover that the universe is about to come to a violent end and you may be the only ones to stop it!

Comet are selling this title for £9.99 - for more information on this cheap games‘ availability, click here (and to save on postage, us the "Collect from store" delivery option).

Another day, another sale at Game - I’ve lost count of how many sales are running at the moment, but let’s just say that there are a lot. Many of which are good. Which is nice.

As ever, I’ve gone through the full lot to bring you the highlights. If I find any more, I’ll update as soon as possible.

Remember that if you spend £30 or more you can get a whopping £3 off if you enter the voucher code modgamer.

UPDATE: Puzzle Quest and Project Gotham Racing 3 added.

If you didn’t already know, Game also own Gameplay and they too have a sale on (click here to see it) - as most of the stuff is the same (as you’d expect), I’ve included the price at Gameplay if it’s cheaper.

July the 11th saw a whole ton of extra stuff added. Alone In The Dark and Lost: The Video Game look particularly good value.

The House Of The Dead: 2 & 3 Return was added on the 12th of July.

The Play-Asia summer sale has started. They are an Asian (surprisingly enough) supplier who sell video games, DVDs, books and gadgets - some of which we can’t get in this country.

This is a slightly different kind of sale, in that everything in stock has 25% off. I’d avise not getting any PlayStation related material, as chances are high that they won’t sell it to you (some nonsense to do with Sony banning anyone importing from Asia, or something).

Please remember that if you do decide to pick up anything, customs charges may be applied if you spend more than £18.

Pro Evolution Soccer 6

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 was the first of the series to appear on a next-generation console. With improved graphics and a good choice of teams to choose from, it’s still pretty darn good.

The great element added to this release was the online multiplayer mode. Although there’s a small amount of lag (jerkiness in the screen for those of a non-technical persuasion), it’s not enough to take anything away from the enjoyment factor.

Click here to get this XBox 360 title for the ridiculously low price of only £2.99 from DVD.co.uk.

The Club

I think that people have been a little bit harsh about The Club - it’s not the most brain-taxing game in the world, but it’s very simple to pick up and play. What can be easier than shooting anyone that moves?

As it’s by the creators of the Project Gotham Racing series, you can expect a polished look. This, combined with an excellent online multiplayer deathmatch mode, makes for a game that I personally enjoy. I’m sure you will too.

To get the PS3 version click here, and for the XBox 360 release click here - both of which are £9.99 each at Comet (choose the "Collect from store" option to save on postage).

Test Drive: Unlimited is one of those cheap games well worth owning

Test Drive: Unlimited has something for everyone, in that it features both cars and bikes. With over 125 licensed vehicles on board, I’m sure you’ll find your favourite in amongst them.

It’s quite in-depth as well, with over 1000 miles of total driving space and in this respect rivals even Grand Theft Auto IV for sheer size. There’s also a great online multiplayer mode as well.

Click here to buy this XBox 360 game for just £7.99 from Choices UK.

Wheelman

Here’s a somewhat interesting fact for you - did you know that Vin Diesel owns his own game company? Tigon Studios produce games which star the bald behemoth, and Wheelman is the next release featuring him.

In it you play the part of an undercover agent who must infiltrate the Barcelona underworld to gather intelligence about a covert heist. Posing as a driver-for-hire, you end up caught between corruption and chaos…

HMV have this PS3 title up for pre-order at the price-point of £29.99 - click here for more details.
