The Need For Speed series has been incredibly up and down over the years - it started off well, seemed to be stuck in limbo for a time, and has just recently appeared to be on its way back up again. Very odd.

Need For Speed: Prostreet is the latest title, and is very probably the best in quite some time. Although still far from being as good as other racers available, it’s still good to burn rubber all around the world - although there’s no online multiplayer mode, which is a shame.

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle Of Doom is a new chapter in the Kingdom Under Fire series which has been designed exclusively for the XBox 360. Sadly, instead of sticking to a strategy-based game the developers have decided to make this a hack and slasher. Good move - not.

A good idea implemented is the ability to get three of your friends to join your game via XBox Live, but it’s not really enough to save it.

For too long now the FIFA games have been miles behind the Pro Evolution series in terms of greatness - thank the Lord then that FIFA 08 bridges the gap quite a bit.

Although it’s still not 100% perfect, the improved controls and graphics (as well as the very good online multiplayer) make this the best FIFA title for some time.

Instore at Tesco you can pick up either the XBox 360 or PlayStation 3 version for £15 each.

The Lego Star Wars games were so popular that hopes were high some of the other big-screen hits would get the same treatment. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is the first of two new Lego titles this year - the other being Lego Batman!

Play through all of the first three scenes, with comical interpretations of classic scenes and elements. Along the way you can unlock more than 60 different playable characters, which can then be mixed and matched to create new heroes (just like in Lego Star Wars).

Gameplay are selling this title on the PlayStation 3, Wii and XBox 360 for £29.99 each. If you spend over £30 though, you can get £5 off (just buy this gift wrap to take you over the threshold) by entering the voucher code gugheq6xe.

Therefore click here to get the PlayStation 3 version, click here for the Wii release or click here to buy the XBox 360 version - all for £25.98 each from Gameplay (when using the voucher code doo-dah above).

I can’t stand companies who rush shoddy games out so that they can get them on the shelves in time for big film releases. The stupid thing is that people buy them - why? 9 times out of 10 it will be a complete joke (look at The Golden Compass, for example)!

This brings me nicely to Iron Man. The film is not too bad, but the game is a big pile of crap! With graphics that would make early PlayStation 2 games look advanced, it’s really a big mess. Only fans and mentalists should even consider a purchase.

Click here to get the Wii version for £16.97, click here to buy the PSP release for £16.97, click here to get the PlayStation 3 version for £22.97, or click here to buy the XBox 360 release for £22.97 - all from the lovely chaps at Tesco.

The Tony Hawk series has been excellent over a number of years, but there’s a new game in town - Skate. With improved visuals and gameplay, this is the best skating game yet.

Instead of being restricted to smallish areas to perform tricks, you can explore the expansive San Vanelona and find the best spot to perform in. Also remember to capture some of your best stuff and upload it to show off your skills around the world.

Amazon have this XBox 360 title available for £19.96 - for more information on this cheap games‘ availability, click here.

The Need For Speed series is notorious for being incredibly average. Need For Speed: Prostreet is much better than most of the other titles in the series, but it’s still far from being the perfect racing game.

Compete around the world to prove that you have what it takes to be the king of the road, but sadly there’s no ability to compete online. Boo!

Click here to buy the PlayStation 2 version for £4.96 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £6.95 delivered) from Amazon, click here to get the PSP release for £20.99 delivered from Gamestation, click here to bag the Wii version for £19.99 from CD-WOW, or click here to buy the XBox 360 release for £14.97 from Amazon.

Phew!

Although we’re only into June, it’s going to take some doing to beat Grand Theft Auto IV in any game of the year award type thingys. With a more interactive city than ever before, plus a decent online multiplayer mode, it’s easily the best of the series.

The XBox 360 version is due to have downloadable content at some point which will be exclusive to the console. It wouldn’t surprise me if the PS3 eventually sees it as well though.

DVD.co.uk are selling this title for £29.99 - click here for more details.

There’s a fair few games that try to be like the Grand Theft Auto series (e.g. Just Cause), and Saints Row is yet another to add to the pile. It’s an open-world game where you can pretty much do what you like, all the while listening to a pumping soundtrack.

It has got an alright online multiplayer mode I suppose, although if you’ve got Grand Theft Auto IV I doubt it would be any more exciting than it is - it’s also one of those cheap games you might like to get if you’re interested in achievement points.

I will say, however, that the price is excellent - click here to buy this XBox 360 game for £9.95 from The Game Collection.

In most games with the option, you can choose whether to play a solo mission or a two-player variation - in Army Of Two you have no choice but to work with a partner. I’d highly suggest getting a friend to play, as the computer is fairly crap.

If it’s not enough for you to defeat a whole heap of baddies, take it online and battle against other teams of players from all over the world via the wireless network.
