Whilst the PlayStation 3 has Beijing 2008, the PSP only has International Athletics on offer in terms of Olympic action – and it’s average at best. I won’t suggest it was rushed out in time for the big event, but others might…

The graphics are pretty poor, there’s no career mode, and pushing the buttons too hard could break your console. At least there’s the multiplayer mode available to beat your friends in!

Diner Dash started off as one of the top-selling downloadable games in 2004, then moved on to mobile phones, and has finally landed on a variety of handheld consoles.

It’s an action strategy game where you take on the role of Flo, a stockbroker who has quit her job to run a diner. Gameplay involves seating customers and guiding Flo around to serve them, and if enough money is earned then you progress to the next level – whilst this happens, the restaurant is upgraded and three further diners are opened.

SoftUK are selling this DS title for £8.99 – click here for more details. PSP owners can also get this game for the slightly higher price of £9.99 by clicking here.

In Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures you can recreate all your favourite moments, with all the humor you’d expect in a Lego game,  from the first three Indiana Jones films.

Scenes involving Nazism have been altered to appeal to families, but this was to be expected. There’s six chapters per movie, with 83 regular characters to play as – each who have their own unique abilities.

Powerplay Direct have this PSP title available for £16.99 – for more information, click here.

Impossible Mission is based on the classic Commodore 64 game of the same name. Stop the evil genius known as Professor Elvin Atombender by making your way through mazes to uncover pieces of a secret password – this can then be used to shut down his deadly missiles.

There’s actually three different versions here – the original in all its 8-bit glory, a re-skinned version of the same game, and a totally updated version with all-new bells and whistles.

For some time now, any games based on The Simpsons have either been very good (The Simpsons: The Arcade Game) or absolutely awful (The Simpsons Wrestling). The Simpsons Game falls somewhere in between the two, as it’s too short and has a crap camera – although it does look excellent, and the writing is very similar to that of the show itself.

Most versions are third-person actioners, where the family discover that they are forced to take part in another Simpsons game and poke fun at other video games. However, the DS release has some differences – it’s a sidescrolling platformer, there are less cutscenes, and some of the character’s powers have been removed.

The Game Collection have the DS version for £9.95 (click here), or ShopTo are selling the PSP release for £9.99 (click here).

Cars is a game based on the film of the same name, except that this is technically a sequel as it takes place after the events of the movie. The story sees Lightning McQueen preparing for and racing in the 2006 Piston Cup season.

Five chapters allow you to race against many of the other characters that you know and love from the hit Disney/Pixar film. Kids will especially enjoy this.

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.

Phew, that’s a lot of cheap games!

The World Series Of Poker: Tournament Of Champions game is based on the popular gambling tournament World Series Of Poker. This is obviously much cheaper than the real-life equivalent!

If you already like poker then this a bit of a no-brainer, but if you don’t even know how to play it (which I must confess that I don’t, for shame) then you may choose to give it a miss.
