The Lego Star Wars games were so popular that hopes were high some of the other big-screen hits would get the same treatment. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is the first of two new Lego titles this year - the other being Lego Batman!

Play through all of the first three scenes, with comical interpretations of classic scenes and elements. Along the way you can unlock more than 60 different playable characters, which can then be mixed and matched to create new heroes (just like in Lego Star Wars).

Gameplay are selling this title on the PlayStation 3, Wii and XBox 360 for £29.99 each. If you spend over £30 though, you can get £5 off (just buy this gift wrap to take you over the threshold) by entering the voucher code gugheq6xe.

Therefore click here to get the PlayStation 3 version, click here for the Wii release or click here to buy the XBox 360 version - all for £25.98 each from Gameplay (when using the voucher code doo-dah above).

The PSP seems to be getting turned into a multi-purpose machine, instead of just a games console - you’ll soon even be able to turn it into a GPS receiver!

Passport To Prague is another unique title available for the system, and does exactly what you’d think it does. It provides a virtual guide to the city, highlighting some of the best things for you to see and do.

Asda are selling this for just £3.93 - click here for more details.

I can’t stand companies who rush shoddy games out so that they can get them on the shelves in time for big film releases. The stupid thing is that people buy them - why? 9 times out of 10 it will be a complete joke (look at The Golden Compass, for example)!

This brings me nicely to Iron Man. The film is not too bad, but the game is a big pile of crap! With graphics that would make early PlayStation 2 games look advanced, it’s really a big mess. Only fans and mentalists should even consider a purchase.

Click here to get the Wii version for £16.97, click here to buy the PSP release for £16.97, click here to get the PlayStation 3 version for £22.97, or click here to buy the XBox 360 release for £22.97 - all from the lovely chaps at Tesco.

Ninja Gaiden was a very good game for the original XBox - the sequel, Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, is nowhere near as good as its predecessor. It was a launch title for the PlayStation 3, so I suppose that’s some sort of excuse. Kind of.

I must admit that the graphics are a big step up though, and it’s a bit harder to complete than the first game, but it still doesn’t match up to the heights of Ninja Gaiden.

If you fancy this, after considering what I’ve said, click here to buy it for £16.97 from Tesco.

The Wii seems tailor made for certain types of games, and fishing is one of the obvious ones. Sadly, you end up looking like a plonker to everyone who sees you - but who cares as the "sport" has never been more fun (or dry!) as this.

Fishing Master brings arcade-style fishing to the console and has over 100 different kinds of fish to catch. To become the master of the fishing world, compete in over 30 competitions - once you’ve done that, battle three friends in the head-to-head fishing derby mode (there’s no online multiplayer, annoyingly).

There’s not many crazy golf games around, which is a little odd when you consider the amount of straight golf titles available on various consoles. King Of Clubs fills this void in quite a good way.

With 10 courses, which each have their own resident pro, this should be a good laugh if you get some friends round to take part in the multiplayer mode.

To get the PSP version for £10.98 delivered from Gamestation, click here - for the PlayStation 2 release (which is slightly more expensive at £12 from Simply Games), click here.

If you’re a Wii owner, you might be interested to know that King Of Clubs is £17.99 for it.

It’s quite rare that a title appeals to both the younger and older gamer, but Ratchet & Clank: Tools Of Destruction does exactly this. With the power of the PlayStation 3 behind it, this is the best Ratchet & Clank game yet.

This time out our two friends must go on a galactic adventure to unravel the mystery of Ratchet’s origin. Along the way you’ll meet new characters, try out new weapons and explore brand-new worlds.

One of the best ideas Nintendo ever came up with was Super Smash Brothers. Can you honestly think of anything better than fighting some of your favourite characters - the joy of pummeling Pikachu alone makes a purchase worthwhile.

Super Smash Brothers: Brawl is the first time the series has appeared on the Wii, and what a debut it is. With new characters (I won’t spil it by telling you who, but let’s just say cardboard boxes and sneakers are involved), new levels to fight on and the ability to battle online this is the best one yet.

This game is out in a couple of weeks, and Gameplay have it up for preorder priced at £29.99.

However, if you spend £30 or more (buy this gift wrap for 99p to take you over the limit) and enter the voucher code gugheq6xe at the checkout you get £5 off - click here then, to get this for a total of £25.98 (which I guarantee you is the cheapest price you will find anywhere).

Samurai Warriors: Katana is based on the popular Samurai Warriors series, and gives you the ability to wield your Wii Remote like a katana. Sounds like my kind of fun!

The reviews for this game haven’t been too kind - sloppy, not very good and a new low don’t exactly make it sound appealing. Still if you’ve always wanted to kill folk with swords, but didn’t want the prison time, this could be ideal.

Click here to buy this for £12.99 from SoftUK.

The Tony Hawk series has been excellent over a number of years, but there’s a new game in town - Skate. With improved visuals and gameplay, this is the best skating game yet.

Instead of being restricted to smallish areas to perform tricks, you can explore the expansive San Vanelona and find the best spot to perform in. Also remember to capture some of your best stuff and upload it to show off your skills around the world.

Amazon have this XBox 360 title available for £19.96 - for more information on this cheap games‘ availability, click here.
