Cheap Games

Many of the PS3 launch titles are actually still very playable, even now. Resistance: Fall Of Man was definitely a highlight and now that the sequel is on the horizon, it’s well worth taking a look at.

After you’ve completed the epic single player storyline which sees Britain and America join up to fight a horrific species of unknown origin, take it online and battle your friends (or enemies!) in the multiplayer arenas.

It might surprise you to learn that in order to use a PlayStation 3 you’ll need a controller. The Official Wireless Sony Black SIXAXIS Controller was the first to be released for the console.

Sadly it doesn’t include rumble feedback (although the DualShock 3 wireless controller does), but works just as any other PlayStation controller has. Well, to be precise.

If you fancy this, click here to get it for just £14.95 from The Game Collection.

Has Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots been over-hyped a little? Possibly yes, but does it really matter – if you were a fan of the series already, you’d have enjoyed it no matter what.

This last outing for Solid Snake isn’t a particularly long title – the new addition of Metal Gear Online gives you an almost entirely new game to play anyway!

Game are selling this PlayStation 3 title for £29.99 – however, if you spend £30 or more you can get £5 off. Click here to get the game and add this wrapping to your basket to go over the threshold, entering the voucher code T5J194MZX at the checkout to bring the price of the game down to £25.98.

Lost: The Video Game is based on Lost the TV series, surprisingly enough. In it you’ll encounter many of your favourite characters from the show, as well as some of the best moments from the series’ so far.

It’s not a great title by any means, as it’s not very long (total gameplay time amounts to about six hours) and is a bit too easy.

However now that you can get either the XBox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions for £4.99 from Comet, it’s well worth considering.

If you fancy the 360 release, click here to get it – you can’t order the PS3 one online, but you can get it instore (actually, you can get both instore).

Genji: Days Of The Blade is based on the PS2 title Genji, and is set three years after the events of that game. Sadly this PlayStation 3 game suffers from being one of the first on the system – impressive graphics, but a distinct lack of gameplay value let it down badly.

It’s your typical "hack and slash" type game, with many enemies to defeat. However, some shoddy camera-work can at times leave you a bit peeved off! It is cheap though…

Comet have this title priced at just £4.99 – click here for more details (and use the "Collect from store" delivery option to save on postage). Not one of those cheap games that I can recommend, I’m afraid.

One of the best gaming series’, in my opinion anyway, has been the Metal Gear series. Great stories combined with some great gameplay equals great games – great!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots is allegedly the last time we will see Solid Snake, but what a final game to appear in! The single player campaign has a gripping storyline, and the new addition of Metal Gear Online (which will have updates throughout the year) is brilliant.

I think that people have been a little bit harsh about The Club – it’s not the most brain-taxing game in the world, but it’s very simple to pick up and play. What can be easier than shooting anyone that moves?

As it’s by the creators of the Project Gotham Racing series, you can expect a polished look. This, combined with an excellent online multiplayer deathmatch mode, makes for a game that I personally enjoy. I’m sure you will too.

To get the PS3 version click here, and for the XBox 360 release click here – both of which are £9.99 each at Comet (choose the "Collect from store" option to save on postage).

Here’s a somewhat interesting fact for you – did you know that Vin Diesel owns his own game company? Tigon Studios produce games which star the bald behemoth, and Wheelman is the next release featuring him.

In it you play the part of an undercover agent who must infiltrate the Barcelona underworld to gather intelligence about a covert heist. Posing as a driver-for-hire, you end up caught between corruption and chaos…

HMV have this PS3 title up for pre-order at the price-point of £29.99 – click here for more details.

The FIFA games have improved greatly in more recent times (take FIFA 08, for example), so why EA insist on bringing out FIFA Street games, I’ll never know. "It doesn’t work, move on" would be my advice to them.

For a start, none of the players even slightly resemble their real-life counterparts – Peter Crouch looks like a bloody giraffe, for crying out loud! Add this together with some dodgy gameplay and you have one stinker of a footy title.

Play.com have both the PlayStation 3 (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) versions available for £17.99 each. Not a couple of cheap games that I can recommend, unless you want a laugh at how bad it is.

Burnout: Paradise is one of the best racing games available on either the PlayStation 3 or XBox 360. I think that the ability to absolutely destroy your own car and others around you is one of the things that make it so good.

Even with the appearance of Race Driver: Grid (which is still priced at £29.99, by the way), the online mode alone is worth buying this for. The chance to smash up your friends around the world is something I myself cherish dearly. I am a bit weird though.

To get the PS3 version click here, or for the XBox 360 release click here – both of which are £19.98 delivered each from DVD.co.uk.
