The Kung Fu Panda video game is very loosely based on the film of the same name. As far as movie tie-in titles go, this is actually alright – I can’t quite believe it myself!

Although it’s mainly intended for children, it’s challenging enough for older gamers to at least give it a shot. The multiplayer mode also adds dome more fun, and you won’t be surprised to hear that there’s a few mini-games thrown in too (just for a change).

Powerplay Direct are selling the PlayStation 2 version of this for £16.49 (click here), Amazon have the DS release for £17.98 (click here), and Tesco supply the Wii version for £24.71 (click here).

Normally a game that comes out which is near-enough identical to the others in the series would be ridiculed, but in the case of Guitar Hero nobody seems to mind. And with good reason – it rocks!

Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock is the latest release and plays exactly the same way as the previous two Guitar Hero titles. Of course there’s a whole ton of new songs to play along to, but that’s the only difference. Oh, and Slash (from Guns ‘N Roses and Velvet Revolver) makes an appearance.

If you fancy the PS2 version, click here to get it for £17.99. Click here to buy the XBox 360 release for £24.99. Both are from ShopTo and sadly neither come with the guitar accessory.

NHL 2K8 is the latest in the long-running ice hockey series. This includes some new features which help to enhance an already very good gaming experience.

An all-new face-off system includes tie-ups, warnings, jostlings, and penalties. Goalies have also been improved, so that they now challenge the puck carrier, perform amazing saves, and guard the post.

Click here to buy the XBox 360 version of this game for £6.95 from The Game Collection, or click here to get the PlayStation 2 release for £9.99 from Play.com.

R: Racing is a racing simulation game that features over 33 different licensed cars for you to drive, which can each be near-enough fully customised.

The single player mode is quite different from many other titles – you follow the career of Rena Hayami as she juggles the life of a professional driver with the politics of the sport. Through each chapter you can earn new cars, and points which can be used to buy new items.

Click here to get this PlayStation 2 game for £1.98 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £3.97 delivered) from Amazon. This is one of those cheap games to pick up if you’re a fan of racing titles in general.

Crash Bandicoot has never quite been as popular as Sonic or Mario, but there’s still a fair few games that star him. Three of them are contained in the Crash Bandicoot Action Pack.

This PlayStation 2 title provides great value for money, as you’re getting three games for under £10. They are Crash Nitro Kart, Crash Twinsanity and Crash Tag Team Racing – all of which are pretty decent.

To get this for £8.99 from HMV, simply click here.

Even though the 1989 arcade game of the same name is much better, TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has still managed to sell just over a million copies. Proof positive that people will buy any old tat, I think you’ll agree.

This is based on the 2007 CGI movie TMNT (which was fairly average), and is a fairly run-of-the-mill platform title. Kids may get some enjoyment out of it however, as well as Turtles fans.

Click here to get the PSP version for just £1.99 from Sendit.com, click here to buy the PlayStation 2 release for £4.93, or click here to get the Wii version for £11.93 – the latter two both being from Asda.

Phew, that’s a lot of cheap games!

3D fighting games such as Rampage and Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee are obvious influences upon the makers of War Of The Monsters. This is ever so slightly better than both of them though.

The aftermath of an alien invasion of Earth has spawned giant monsters that battle it out across city environments, as you do. The game looks a bit like one of the old monster movies and homages are made to these, including characters that resemble Godzilla and King Kong.

If you fancy this PS2 title, click here to get it for £6.99 from SoftUK.

Power Rangers: Super Legends is like some sort of reunion for many of the stars from the TV show’s past, with 16 different playable characters from "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" right through to "Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive".

Lord Zedd has reappeared in his old form and is buggering around with the time stream to try and destroy every Power Ranger throughout history. Gather a force of Power Rangers and artifacts from across time to break through to his hidden dimension and restore the timeline.

If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? TV show, but have never had the chance, then the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?: Party Edition (with four snazzy buzzers) game will be your next best shot at sort of getting there. Without the potential cash prize. Or studio audience.

This PS2 title has a single player mode which is almost exactly like what you see on television, and a couple of multiplayer modes (one particularly evil mode called Millionaire Party lets you steal questions, like some sort of quizzical thief).

Pop in to your local Tesco and you might be able to pick this up for only £7.50. The buzzers can also be used with any of the Buzz! games on either the PlayStation 2 or even the PlayStation 3.
