Cheap Games

On the market today you get get very good first person shooters (such as Bioshock), but you can also get very average ones as well. This is sadly the case with PlayStation 3 title Haze.

The team behind Timesplitters made this, so you’d expect something half-decent – what you actually get is something that looks like a bad PS2 game and plays like a car with 2 wheels (i.e. not very well).

Addictive games are all the rage (see The Club), and Sid Meier’s Civilization: Revolution is yet another one where you’ll be saying "just one more turn" like a broken record.

Play.com are currently running a 2 PlayStation 3 games for £25 offer.

The selection is limited to just the Premium titles recently released – click here to see what’s included.

I have to recommend MotorStorm, Ratchet & Clank: Tools Of Destruction, Resistance: Fall Of Man and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune as each are brilliant in their own way.

Sony are bloody irritating at times, such as when they decided not to include rumble feedback in the original PlayStation 3 controller. Thankfully they’ve now rectified this silly mistake.

The Sony PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller is basically the same as the previous controller, but now includes pressure sensitive buttons that rumble with each action.

Personally I though that NASCAR 08 was very disappointing, so I hoped that E.A. would improve on it with NASCAR 09. Sadly, they haven’t – in fact, it’s almost as though they’ve taken the previous game and updated the roster.

One new addition is the "Chase For The NASCAR Sprint Cup" career mode, but it’s not enough to get a recommendation. Here’s hoping they get it right next year.

After featuring the XBox 360 version of The Bourne Conspiracy a couple of days ago, it was inevitable that the PlayStation 3 release would appear at a reduced price sooner rather than later.

As I said previously, hopes were high that this would rival the Bourne novels and films in terms of excellence – sadly it doesn’t. Although not the worst game ever made, it’s far from being a strongly recommended purchase.

One of the greatest ideas for a game in recent years has to have been Guitar Hero – OK it’s nothing like playing a real guitar, but it makes you feel like you are. Sort of.

Guitar Hero III is the latest in the series, and the very first to appear on the PlayStation 3 and Wii. With some great tunes to play along to, it may very well be the best of the bunch as well.

Amazon have the various different console versions available for good prices – click here to get the PS2 release for £29.97, or click here for the Wii version (which is £39.97). The PS3 (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) releases are slightly more expensive, coming in at £44.97 each.

As with almost every other movie-related game, Spider-Man 3 is incredibly average. My prayers may have been answered in regards to a decent film tie-in appearing though – the next James Bond game looks excellent (fingers crossed, eh?).

Kids will love this PlayStation 3 game as it’s very easy to control and not to difficult to complete either. If you’re a fan of the films (or comic books even) then you’ll probably enjoy it a little as well.

Instore at Toys R Us you can get this title for £9.99.

Oh dear. Conan really isn’t one of those cheap games I can recommend on any level – it’s just really not that good. Well, if you like "hack and slash" titles you may get some enjoyment out of it I suppose.

The films are quite good as well. Although saying that, the acting in them was not exactly of the highest quality – poor old Arnie has never been one for talking (which is odd when you consider his current job!).

Pop in to your local Zavvi and pick up this PS3 game for £8, if you dare!

If you’re a PS3 owner in the market for a decent racing game, look no further than MotorStorm. Put simply, it’s one of the best racers available for the console – and to think it was a launch title!

The graphics look absolutely fantastic and the online multiplayer mode is an excellent addition as well. The handling of the vehicles might take a little getting used to, but you’ll soon get the hang of it.
