In a move that seems synonymous with video games based on Disney films (see the different versions of Wall-E, which are available from £14.93 as part of the Asda September sale), there are some differences in the DS and PlayStation 2 releases of Disney’s Meet The Robinsons.

Both are prequels to the movie but the DS version is a first-person shooter shooter with a simple storyline, whilst the PS2 release is a more in-depth game with a bigger story and additional mini-games.

Click here to buy the DS version for £4.75 from Blah DVD, or click here to get the PlayStation 2 release for £4.98 from Gamestation.

Pokemon always seemed a bit tame, so it’s nice to see that Monster Lab takes the catching part and uses it for finding ingredients to make the perfect monster instead of a funny little ball of fluff.

You take on the role of an apprentice scientist who performs a series of experiments to create a monster. Once finished, use the monster to explore the land – finding ingredients for more monster parts, defeating other monsters in combat, going on quests, or competing in mini-games as you go.

Any fans of High School Musical are bound to enjoy High School Musical: Sing It! where you get the chance to sing along with your favourite characters from the first two films, to various songs from both.

This is basically Singstar with a license tacked on, and features a total of 30 tunes for you to destroy. Sorry, sing.

Click here to buy this PlayStation 2 title on its own for £9.99, or click here to get it with a pair of microphones for £24.99 – both of which come from Choices UK.

The very first Guitar Hero is very, very difficult to get for a decent price so I would strongly urge you to consider getting it while it’s available for under £15. For a title that’s been out for a couple of years, it’s surprising how few retailers have ever decided to reduce it.

This features 30 popular rock songs spanning five decades, from the 1960s up to 2005, in addition to bonus tracks from independent artists. You don’t necessarily need the guitar to play it, but it does add a whole new dimension to the experience if you do.

Amazon have this PlayStation 2 game (which sadly doesn’t come with the guitar) available for £14.98 – for more information, click here.

Alone In The Dark was originally called Alone In The Dark: Near Death Investigation, but the makers instead opted to go for the same name as the very first in the series – how ruddy bloody confusing!

DVD-style episodes allow you to choose to start the game from the beginning, or simply skip to a different section if you get stuck. The interchangeable first and third person camera helps make solving the puzzles a little easier, and the environment plays a big part as anything can be picked up and used as a weapon.

Click here to get the PlayStation 2 version for £17.99, or click here to buy the Wii release for £19.99 – both of which are provided by the lovely folks at Game.

The Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles games are unlike any other in the Naruto series, as they are action and adventure titles. Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is set directly after the first one, and focuses on the Shirogane Clan who are trying to regain power by using a forbidden jutsu to revive the Puppet Master – which allow them to rule over the Five Ninja Nations.

Missions are now separate from the story mode, several characters can be unlocked as you progress, and there’s a multiplayer mode as well.

NHL 2K6 was actually the very first ice hockey simulation title to be released on the XBox 360. Considering that it came out in 2005, you can imagine that it’s since been surpassed by other games in the genre – it does make a cheap introduction to the series though.

I should probably warn you that there’s an annoying bug in the game, in which it freezes (surely not intentionally!) when you use the hard drive. To get round this either remove the hard drive when playing, or download the patch from XBox Live.

To get this 360 title from Game for £4.99, simply click here. PS2 owners should click here if they wish to get their version for £5.85 from Blah DVD.

Although it’s a little out-of-date, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is well worth picking up while it’s available for a cheap price. It controls similarly to 08 (and probably 09), so there’s almost no learning curve.

There’s a total of 53 golfers to choose from, 32 of which are fictional, and 21 courses for you to play on – everything else is pretty much what was available in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.

Game are selling this PS2 title for £7.99 – click here for more details. Alternatively, click here to get the XBox version for £10.99 from SoftUK or click here to buy the PS3 release for £12.99 from base.com.

The Wall-E game is based on the movie of the same name. Interestingly, there are variations in the game based on which console you buy it for – something which you don’t see all that often.

On the Wii there are nine explorable worlds and three head-to-head multiplayer modes, the DS version features fourteen worlds and unlockable clips from the film, and for the PlayStation 2 release you can use music to summon help whilst travelling through the nineteen different worlds.

Click here to buy the Wii version for £15 from Asda, click here to get the DS release for £17.99 from Game, or click here to buy the PS2 version for the same price of £17.99 from Game.

PSP owners might like to know that their release is also £17.99, but this time it’s part of the Powerplay Direct sale from a couple of weeks ago.
