Cheap Games

There’s a few Nintendo console deals around just now that seem worth mentioning, so I thought I’d do just that! Of course, there’s going to be a mad rush around Christmas, so my advice would be to pick one up before then as stocks may very well be low.

The Nintendo DS Lite is much smaller than the original DS, but doesn’t lose anything that it had. The ability to fit it in your pocket is handy, although I suspect that not many people are that bothered about keeping it in their pocket – lucky the games available for it are brilliant then.

Game currently have an offer where you get any colour of console that you wish with a free game (the titles are Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?, High School Musical 2: Work This Out!, or Wall-E). If you fancy the look of this, click here for more details.

The Nintendo Wii has been something of a revelation since bursting onto the scene, mainly due to the fact that pretty much anyone can pick up a controller and play – from the very young to the very old! You use the Wii Remote much like a sword, tennis racket, or whatever else you can imagine (or it can also act like the old NES controller too).

Every console comes bundled with one Wii Remote and a copy of Wii Sports, which helps to display the unique features that the system has.

Game have a few different bundles available, and these include:

Wii console plus Star Wars: The Force Unleashed £179.99

Wii console plus Super Mario Galaxy £179.99

Wii console plus Wall-E £179.99

Wii console plus Big Beach Sports, Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2, and Super Mario Galaxy £199.99

One of the most popular series’ in recent times has been Guitar Hero, although the appearance of Rock Band has at least given it some competition. Both are fantastic in their own ways, with each having a great variety of songs to play along to.

Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock is the last guitar-only title in the series (Guitar Hero: World Tour will include drums, etc) and includes some great tunes to rock out to – Guns N’ Roses, The Sex Pistols, and The Rolling Stones are just a few of the featured artists.

Click here to buy the Wii version for £30.67, click here to get the PS3 release for £33.67, or click here to buy the XBox 360 version for the same price of £33.67 – all from Amazon.

Oh, I should also point out that these also come with wireless guitars. This makes this particular post one of the very top bargains I’ve seen this year – seriously outstanding value for money.

Warriors Orochi is a crossover game between the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series’, and Warriors Orochi 2 is the sequel to it. I should also point out that it’s only been out for a couple of weeks, which makes this price look slightly surprising.

After the events of the first game, the new land that was created found peace. However, former Orochi army officers (as well as many others who have nothing to do with Orochi) have broken away and formed their own armies. When a plan to bring back the Serpent King is discovered, a new group of warriors must join forces with history’s finest in battle to stop this evil resurrection.

Asda are selling this XBox 360 title for £14.93 – for more information, click here.

FIFA 09 is the newest entry in the long-running series of football games. It comes with a few new features, including improved responsiveness from players and a completely revamped collision system (which means that stronger players should be able to hold off others for longer).

Thank the Lord that goalkeepers have also been improved, with better positioning and reactions to saves. Evening games should feel more realistic as well, because the sky changes from light to dark while you’re playing.

The DS Lite is, without doubt, the best handheld console available today. With a great catalogue of games and the ability to play GameBoy Advance titles, I doubt anything will be able to match it for some time – although there’s apparently going to be an announcement from Nintendo this week about yet another kind of DS.

Tesco are selling three different coloured systems for £96.97 each, but we get them for lower than that. Enter the code XXLV96 to get £12 off a £60 or over spend, which brings the price down to £84.97.

Click here for the black coloured console, click here for the snazzy silver system, or click here to get the white one.

One of the most realistic motorbike experiences you can have, this side of not killing yourself in the process, is with the SBK series of games. SBK 08: Superbike World Championship is the newest addition, and has more to offer than ever before.

Not only are there five racing styles to choose from, as well as six game modes, but there’s also a great little online mode. It’s so good that it’s easy to compare to more well known games like Forza 2, in all honesty.

Click here to buy this PSP title for £15 from Simply Games. Other versions are available for slightly more, including the XBox 360 for £17 from the same retailer (click here) or the PlayStation 3 release for £19.99 from Woolworths (click here).
