I'd suggest taking a java tutorial first.
java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
What comes next depends on what kinds of java libraries you want to use to implement games.
Not many people make Java games. You may want to explain your needs a little better. You may be looking for a tutorial in Flash or something else.

I know some Java already, various types of loops, lists and maps etc etc. I've gotta make a game in java for a uni assignment and I wanted to looked at some tutorials to get some ideas of how to go about it.

Well, "school assignment" explains so much!
What kind of user interface are you building? A simple text-based interface, a windowed interface, a browser-based interface? Anyone mention that you'd be using "Swing", or "JSF" or something?
If you tell me that, I can help further.

mostly using swing, with a window based interface. I'm thinking something along the lines of a space invaders type game, maybe with some better graphics though, but nothing too flashy.

Then you'll need to search the net for a Swing tutorial. I have no doubt there is one. But I've never used Swing before, so I have to part ways with you here.
PM me anytime. Or I can PM you my email address if you'd like. I'm good for the Java questions, anyway.
