As a spin-off from the main series, the Buzz! Junior range of games are aimed at kids. They all include a collection of mini-games, instead of the usual quiz format that’s to be found in many of the other Buzz! titles – a change that works rather well, if you ask me.

Buzz! Junior: Dino Den is the fourth entry in the series, and features a range of dinosaurs to play as. 45 different mini-games are available to take part in, with 10 of them being brand new team mini-games.

Click here to get this PlayStation 2 title for £6.73 from The Hut. Definitely one of those cheap games that families as a whole can take part in, with children probably getting the most enjoyment.

The Ultimate Board Game Collection is exactly what you’d think it would be – namely, a collection of some of the most iconic board games transferred across to the video game arena.

One odd thing though is that the Wii version only comes with 12 games, whereas the PlayStation 2 release has a total of 20. I can only assume the unique features of the Wii Remote meant that some had to go…

If you fancy the PS2 version, click here to buy it for £7.73 from The Hut. Wii owners can click here to get their release for £8.98 from Game.

"Be A Pro" mode makes it debut here, where you control one player (apart from a goalkeeper) throughout entire matches over the course of a few seasons. The XBox 360 version also includes co-operative online play for the first time and a collection of interactive online leagues to take part in.

NBA Live 09 is the 2008 installment in the NBA Live series. As with pretty much every release, this comes with a whole host of new features which help improve the game a great deal – here’s hoping that they never run out of ideas!

Click here to get the PlayStation 2 version for £8.75 from Zavvi, click here to buy the PSP release for £9.99 from Play.com, or click here to get the XBox 360 version for £12.75 again from Zavvi.

Although the next-generation releases are superior in terms of graphics and online multiplayer capabilities, the Call Of Duty team have still found the time to develop an exclusive PlayStation 2 version of Call Of Duty: World At War (titled Call Of Duty: World At War – Final Fronts).

This features 13 missions set near the end of World War II, and provides a "companion piece" to World At War. Aside from the two U.S. campaigns in the Pacific and Western Europe, Final Fronts also includes a third campaign involving the British advance on the River Rhine.

To get this game for £11.69 from Argos, click here. Maybe not as good as the other console versions, but definitely one of those cheap games that PS2 owners will want to add to their collection.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed bridges the two Star Wars trilogies, and introduces a new protagonist, Starkiller, as Darth Vader’s secret apprentice. The first level sees you playing as the evil Lord, whilst the remainder of the game is seen through the eyes of the apprentice.

A more intimate and powerful story can be found in this than any of the prequel trilogy, and the soundtrack ranks up there with the best that the films can offer – maybe not too much that sounds exciting, but certainly enough to keep fans entertained.

Click here to get the PSP version for £9.99 from Comet, click here to buy the PlayStation 2 release for £13.99 from SoftUK, or click here to get the PlayStation 3 version for £14.99 from Comet.

PC World have the XBox 360 release (click here) available for £19.97, whilst ShopTo have the Wii version (click here) priced at £19.99.
