Cheap Games

As we now live in a technologically enhanced age, so it has come to pass that creators of video games tempt us with promises of downloadable content and extra features in exchange for small-ish amounts of money. Telltale Games took this one step further with the PC release of Sam & Max Save The World, which is an episodic series of adventure games based on the comic book – individual episodes could be purchased on a monthly basis.

Thankfully they’ve also decided to produce a version for the Wii, under the title Sam & Max: Season One. This collects together all six episodes, which are all excellent in their own right – the first in particular deserves special mention, as it’s easily the most enjoyable.

Rather annoyingly, the developers of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series’ couldn’t manage to make the different instruments available compatible with each other – meaning you could possibly end up with two sets of everything!

The Wii’s Guitar Hero Les Paul guitar will work on any of the Guitar Hero games on the console, but not with the Rock Band titles. The price is low though, so this is ever so slightly less irritating.

Klonoa is a remake of the classic PlayStation title Klonoa: Door To Phantomile. It has similar graphics (but fully rendered in real-time with a new level of detail) along with some new things not found in the original, such as reversed levels and unlockable costumes for characters.

Although this is fairly easy to play, it’s very enjoyable and serves as an excellent upgrade to an already brilliant game. Sales haven’t been fantastic on the other side of the pond, so here’s hoping they are over here – the producer of the series has promised Klonoa 2 if this is received well.

The DSi may be out, but the DS Lite is considered by many to be better value for money. Yes, it doesn’t have any of the fancy extras found on its new brother – but it’s a hundred times better than the original DS, which was a bugger to use.

Not only is it a lot cheaper, you can also play GameBoy Advance titles on it (something which has been removed from the DSi). No cameras or SD card slot, but I think you’ll manage without them!

Click here to buy a Nintendo DS Lite, with two games, for £89.99 from Play.com. There’s a couple of drawbacks though – the console is pink, and comes with Nintendogs: Labrador & Friends (you can choose an additional title from a list of 10 though).

Eternal Sonata is a role-playing game centered on the Polish romantic pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin. The story envisions a fictional world, dreamed by him during his last hours, that is influenced by Chopin’s life and music – in which he himself is a playable character, amongst others.

This newer release of the game comes with additional content not found on the original XBox 360 version. This includes new playable characters (Crescendo and Serenade), a new clothing system, exclusive new music, and, best of all, new quests, battles, events and multiple endings that shed new light on the engaging storyline.

Although you can play any of the many Wii rail-shooters by using the Wii Remote and Wii Nunchuk, it’s perhaps worthwhile looking at the many different gun holders available – with The House Of The Dead: Overkill Hand Cannon being one of the best around.

Not only does it look absolutely fantastic, it feels pretty great too. Please note that you don’t get a copy of the game with this (would be nice, but I’m afraid at this price a highly unlikely thing).

If you fancy this, click here to buy it for £9.73 from The Hut.

It’s interesting to see that the Wii has gone from being a games console with a different style of control, to a lifestyle system that encourages you to take up new activities like cooking and exercise – it’s been a popular decision as well, as these titles sell by the bucketload (just look at Wii Fit).

My Fitness Coach is actually a port of Yourself!Fitness on the XBox, but surprisingly doesn’t make use of the Wii Balance Board accessory. Instead you get a range of different exercises, tailored to your body type, that help and encourage you to lead a healthy life.

Click here to get this for £9.99 from Amazon. Definitely one of those cheap games to buy if you’re serious about getting in shape – much cheaper than joining a gym!
