Star Wars: The Force Unleashed helps to bridge the gap between Episodes III and IV somewhat, by showing a little of what Darth Vader did. And here was me thinking that he might have gone on holiday to Spain or something.

You play as his "secret apprentice" and uncover some interesting things about the Star Wars galaxy, none of which I’ll tell you here because I ain’t no party pooper. Let’s just say you’ll be a bit surprised.

Instore at Toys R Us you can pick up the Wii version for £24.78. Xbox 360 owners can click here to visit Sendit.com and get their version for the slightly higher price of £29.96.

With a whole truckload of third-person shooters available, it’s quite often the case that many of them are pretty poor. Dark Sector, whilst not being the best game ever made, is ever so slightly better than the majority - this is perhaps due to the great weapons and decent combat on offer.

In a fictional Soviet-bloc country in the near future, you must work your way through a world where biological weapons have been unleashed on an unsuspecting populace. Play as CIA clean-up man Hayden Tenno and help save the world…

Asda have both the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360 versions of this game available for £9.93 each - click here for the PS3, or click here for the 360.

With 20 different world-class players to choose from, and 40 different venues to play on, Top Spin 3 is probably the best tennis title available at this moment.

The PlayStation 3 and XBox 360 versions feature a career mode and online multiplayer, but for some reason these have both been removed from the Wii release.

If you fancy the Wii version, click here to get it for £19.99 from ShopTo. Alternatively, click here for the PS3 release or click here for the XBox 360 version - these too are £19.99 at ShopTo. Cheap games like this are recommended for fans of the sport and people who like multiplayer fun, which I suppose is pretty much everybody.

Civilizations has long been a franchise that has been predominantly a PC-only affair for some time, so the appearance of a specially designed console version called Sid Meier’s Civilization: Revolution is a welcome one.

This is a turn-based strategy game where you take control of one civilisation from a total of 16, and lead them through from prehistory all the way up to the near future. Also, gameplay has been simplified to make it easier for newcomers to get to grips with.

I’ll warn you in advance that Final Fantasy XI Online: Wings Of The Goddess is an expansion pack that requires a copy of Final Fantasy XI Online before it will work. And that’s not the only thing you’ll need.

As it’s an online multiplayer game, you’ll need a subscription to the service as well - and this costs around £8 a month. All in all it could work out a bit costly, however if you’re already playing it then this pack seems a bit more worthwhile.

SoftUK are selling this XBox 360 title for £9.99 - for more information, click here.

The Microsoft XBox 360 Messenger Kit makes it about a billion times easier to type on your console, as it contains a chatpad that connect to your XBox 360 controller.

There’s also a headset included, which allows you to talk to other gamers whilst you’re playing. Quite whether you’d want to or not is another thing entirely.

Even though it’s only been out for a couple of weeks, the price of Too Human is starting to come down very quickly - this isn’t a good sign, and to be honest with you it’s actually a disappointing title.

There was a delay of around nine years in this getting released, but the final product has a poor combat system and sub-standard boss battles. The graphics are good though, if that’s your sort of thing…

The XBox 360 version of Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath features an exclusive "Kane’s Challenge" mode not found on the PC release. Here you choose one faction to control and are pitted against all others across ten challenges.

By the way, it’s a real-time strategy game that’s basically an expansion to Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars - in fact the PC version is just that, an expansion pack.

Sendit.com have this available for £14.89 - click here for more details.

The success of the Lego Star Wars series meant it was inevitable that we would see more famous franchises lampooned in miniature form, and so the release of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures confirmed this. Lego Batman: The Video Game is the next one up, at the end of October.

This features all the best moments from the first three Indiana Jones films with all the humour and tongue-in-cheekness you’d expect from Lego. The Nazi stuff has not surprisingly been removed, but this takes nothing away from a great little game.
