Players who aren't willing to spend hours and hours crafting their dream tower and instead want a quick pick-up-and-play simulation will be very hesitant to pursue a career with The Tower.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
With all the power and advancements in consoles since the original game debuted nearly a decade ago, this game and indeed this whole trilogy has failed to recapture that magic. Maybe it's time for the series to change hands yet again.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Ship Simulator 2008 will only appeal to ship afficianados, but even they may find the lack of features a turn-off after a while.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
And it's the fact that the game is free that makes it hard to criticise. Ultimately all you'll be loosing here is time, but then again, there's no shortage of cheap, budget racing games that have more content that World currently showcases.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
There's something here for the arcade action gamers and the World War One enthusiasts alike, what with the authenticity and detailed planes combined with decent control options.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Fair enough, the action is thick and fast, but it's a bit of a button masher, gets repetitive quickly and doesn't have much aural or visual polish to keep you otherwise interested.- AceGamez

-
- Critic Score
The graphics and sound are well put together, the license is put to great use and the gameplay itself is both original and a homage to retro shooters.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
When compared to the rest of the gaming world, Meet The Robinsons is merely a slightly above average title that copies more than it innovates.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
If you're looking for an enjoyable hack-and-slash epic to relieve a little tension running quests for idle NPCs and nailing Zombie Trolls with a 90lb Mechanical Warhammer for an ultimately fairly hollow reward then this may just be the game you're looking for.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The longevity is abysmal and the content is woefully limited, while the controls and overall gameplay are fine for a weekend rental.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Parents could confidently buy this for their children, safe in the knowledge that the content is suitable as well as enjoyable.- AceGamez

- Critic Score
Even though it might be over too quickly for platforming veterans, those who like action from the word go will find their long lost pal in Kao the Kangaroo 2. With an enormous and linear breath of fresh air feeling, this game puts the cool back in old school and will have most gamers jumping for joy for as long as it lasts!- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The unabashedly GBA presentation and flimsy integration of both Pokémon and the DS leave this game feeling boring and unexceptional.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
There are other tactical combat games due out this year and they may be better suited to a wider audience, but if you got this far then you probably have a PSP and an itch for a good strategy RPG - and Aedis Eclipse can do a decent job of scratching it.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The gameplay is rarely exciting, quite repetitive and often very frustrating; never a good combination.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's unfortunate that the handwriting recognition portion of the touch-screen controls is largely broken (thank goodness it's optional!) and the presentation is as bland as can be, featuring only three generic background color choices and music tracks each, but even so, Sudoku Gridmaster offers a ton of content and just enough addictive gameplay to make any sudoku fan smile with glee.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Manhunt 2 is a weaker version of a five-year-old, slightly above average stealth game.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Frustration creeps in at points when the camera goes AWOL and you can't target anything for toffee, but once you get on top of the not-too-intuitive control system, life in the gloomy future becomes easier and you can get down to enjoying Redemption for what it is - a solid title that belongs firmly in the brighter, more affluent world of Above.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's still good fun, but it's by far the weakest game of the series - and the shortest too, with barely a dozen planets to explore - while its sparse, basic, PSP-quality graphics really are a big disappointment.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's like one of those paintings by Rembrant (or was it Monet?) where up close it's all dots and squiggles, but when you back away and appreciate the whole thing, it becomes a beautiful composition.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
You can easily play it online or with a real deck of cards for free, and Spades offers little incentive to spend money on a digital version of it with a deserted online community and a lacklustre single player mode.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Commandos: Strike Force does have some unusual ideas that it brings to the war first person shooter, such as peeking through keyholes and sneaking around strangling Nazis while dressed as one of them, but it's simply not enough to earn it a promotion through the ranks, not with so many great shooters out there.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The sound lets the side down a bit; it seems to have as much variety as the tracks you race around. Also, the lack of realism can jar at times, as well as the radical changes in gameplay from one transmission to the other. That said, I defy anyone to pick this title up and not have some fun with it.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
All of these games are fun to spend some time with, to a lesser or greater degree, but none of them will keep you entertained for very long, making this a nice filler for an hour between the other games you're currently playing.- AceGamez

Robo Jam is one of the most amusing and pleasant games on the PlayStation 2, and its reams of mini-games ensure that the fun is delivered by the bucketload. It's absolutely fantastic!- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
There's nothing truly groundbreaking (apart from Godzilla's feet) and there's plenty of room for improvement, but also very little to complain about and the astonishing level of destruction will most likely have you grinning like an imbecile throughout.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
A few little hiccups along the way could easily be resolved in a patch or two, and even though the game is published via Steam, Speedball 2: Tournament an essential purchase for those who fancy a trip down memory lane, while those who have never experienced the delights of the original would do well to pick up a copy and give it a try.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's not a bad concept, but Line Rider 2: Unbound feels like so much of the shovelware that's infested Nintendo's mega-huge console.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
For all the pros and cons of this type of game, Sim City 2000 has the stamp of quality. It is very well presented graphically although it doesn't have quite the feel of a bustling city the PC version has.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It won't keep you playing after the forty levels are completed and, to be honest, by level fifteen there's no real impetus to carry on playing.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
If you're a fan, importing Mr. Driller Ace is a must, though luckily if you're unable to do so this title at least carries a budget price.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The one thing that stands out about Need for Speed ProStreet is that it just doesn't feel like Need for Speed. By taking it out of the city and stealing elements from simulation racers, it loses its distinctive identity that fans have loved over the years.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Tedious and tiresome at times. With a poor AI controlling your team mates, unspectacular graphics and sound, awkward controls and nothing new to add to the genre as a whole, it simply has not impressed me.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's never going to win any awards for best game but it's fun while it lasts and you can't put a price tag on those nostalgic twinges you get whilst playing it.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It looks great, plays great, sounds great and works well online, yet never pretends to be better than it is. It will slip under the radar of many gamers, but for those who are a fan of the genre it comes highly recommended.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Escape From Paradise City is an odd game, a hybrid of different styles with some interesting ideas all thrown together that just don't seem to gel.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Mad Tracks is an excellent little game. Though it's short, it offers a whole lot of fun, especially in multiplayer mode where I can almost guarantee you'll be either badly humiliated by you friends, or you'll humiliate the heck out of them.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Tower Bloxx looks and sounds the part with its bright, colourful backgrounds and cheap and cheerful music.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
This game truly feels like a Bond game. Moreover, it makes you believe you are playing the legendary James Bond and few other Bond games achieve this. For this reason, I whole-heartedly recommend it to fans of the James Bond franchise. However, those looking for a high-quality game should exercise caution.- AceGamez

The open ended gameplay, the mini games and a mobile phone to call my own all contribute to a good time, especially if you've seen me in the film beforehand.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Unless you're a huge Fantastic Four nut I would recommend you play a different beat 'em up game, as this one is feels absolutely ancient and offers nothing new that we haven't seen before and many things we shouldn't see anymore.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Unfortunately, for everything that Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires does right, it does several things to remind you that this is the exact same game as DW2, way back in 2000; from the combat to the graphical design and quality, the series has been treading water for years.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Spaceforce: Rogue Universe isn't revolutionary, but it does feature some interesting and varied gameplay mechanics, even if they are staples of a well-established genre.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
You must play until you lose, there are no save places and once you lose you must start all over again from the beginning. This seriously impacts the longevity of the game and playing any mode other than Challenge becomes pointless, with no rewards to soothe your sore thumbs and gameplay that lacks the addictive 'one more go' quality of Tetris and the like.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Like a weak and very old dinosaur that's been resurrected only to find that after years of evolution, it's still the weakest leak in the chain, forever destined to be outdone by stronger and sturdier counterparts.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's never going to win any awards for best game but it's fun while it lasts and you can't put a price tag on those nostalgic twinges you get whilst playing it.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Basic controller requirements, repetitive presentation and an incredibly satisfying multiplayer mode add up to a sporting title that fares far better as a party game than a single player experience.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle for the DS has higher value and comes in a prettier graphical package than its GBA counterpart.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's not a bad expansion because although it does little new, it's decently sized and repeats a lot of what made the original game such a hit two years ago, but a lack of any kind of polish to the old ideas of the series, let along bringing forth brand new ones, really does lessen the appeal that this expansion has - and I loved F.E.A.R.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Blacklight: Tango Down isn't going to set the world alight – it suffers from a few too many annoying design choices, is lacking any form of serious innovation and can't quite stand toe-to-toe with the big boys of the genre. What it can do though is offer up a largely enjoyable online shooter with a huge array of options at an unbelievably low price.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It could have been much better if there was more freedom to the art of cooking, a more challenging single player structure and - most importantly - responsive and involving controls that actually give you the feeling of slicing, dicing, mincing and everything else.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
If you loved the original Game Boy/GBA Pokémon titles then you will no doubt feel a warm familiarity towards Dinosaur King DS but it doesn't bring anything new to the party - your son / daughter / niece / nephew will probably love it though, and they might just learn a thing or two as well.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Until Battlefront 3 arrives (Hopefully!), Elite Squadron will keep you happy for a while, but overall you won’t be interested for too long. A decent attempt, but it’s not what I wanted personally from a Battlefront game.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's one of the few truly fun games I've played in a long time, and in an era when all that seems to be produced are stealth agents, pimped up cars and overly complicated sports sims, it's nice that for once we've been given a nice, simple dose of pure entertainment.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The game will let the experienced player build a unique team and lead them to glory in the league or against like-minded PSP owning friends. But it's a game that a huge portion of the playing public simply won't enjoy due to the lack of actual sport in what looks on the surface to essentially be an American Football game.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
If you're an adult then the main storyline probably won't last you more than ten hours or so.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
You do have a reasonable game in Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires, especially given that it's come out at a budget price compare to most of the other 360 titles. However, it really does lack that next generation touch, besides some spit and polish on the visuals and the cracking frame rate.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Loki is very much like "Neverwinter Nights 2" crossed with "Diablo II," with a dash of gods and mythology thrown in for good measure. If you liked these games, or other hack 'n' slash action RPGs, then you should find Loki an enjoyable experience.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Regardless of the glaring omission of a complete lack of multiplayer, Ninety-Nine Nights is a great deal of fun for those that stick with it long enough to uncover its hidden depths.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
If it hadn't tried to be so cutesy and cartoon-like it would have been more gripping. It's by no means a bad game and it is quite endearing and strangely addictive in its own way, but with so many truly great console games coming out at the moment, this seems a little out of place.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
All in all, there are better sports games and better fantasy games out there, and the fact that there aren’t many “fantasy-sports” games is probably all that will save Blood Bowl from being completely overlooked.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
I thoroughly enjoyed Micro Machines V4, probably because of the heavy dosage of nostalgia that it administered to me, but also because the developers obeyed the golden rule of retro game reiteration: provide the gamer with a modern day standard game whilst maintaining the elements they loved from the original, something that is not at all easy to do.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Parents could confidently buy this for their children, safe in the knowledge that the content is suitable as well as enjoyable.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
All in all, Dead to Rights: Retribution is a solid action title, elevated above many others by dint of a canine companion who finally manages to make having a dog in a videogame completely worth it.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
A gorgeous looking simulation, rather than the satisfying looking arcade games that typify earlier entries in the series.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Ending as a reasonable attempt at a third-person action game, From Russia With Love manages to raise itself above many PSP games, despite its myriad flaws, and it's a title to stall the hunger for masterpieces until one arrives.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Wanted: Weapons of Fate is a very stylish game that uses some very clever and entertaining mechanics and set pieces.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Although Vietcong 2 has a lot going for it - good level design, good pace, humanising the very enemy you spend half the game killing - it just doesn't quite feel as though it lives up to the expectations raised by the original.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The idea is nice but the execution is lacking - that's not a bad summary for Chop Till You Drop as a whole, an experience that could have been much better than it is. As it stands, Capcom's latest Wii port is the worst of the bunch, a substandard experience that just doesn't hold up to modern standards, let alone those of the series itself.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Then there's the mostly drab level design, the 'who cares' story and the often repetitive gameplay.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
There is no middle ground with Boiling Point: Road To Hell, you'll either look past it's flaws and love the expansive, open-ended adventure game beneath, or hate it because of its numerous technical faults, poor performance and general rushed feel.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
How can the same team that produced the outstanding Fight Night Round 3 - which is arguably the best boxing simulation in videogame history - also associate its name with one of the poorest boxing titles every made? I honestly have no idea - and call me stuck in my ways, but I'm off to download Punch-Out!! from the Virtual Console and have myself some actual fun.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Unless you're a huge Fantastic Four nut I would recommend you play a different beat 'em up game, as this one is feels absolutely ancient and offers nothing new that we haven't seen before and many things we shouldn't see anymore.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Elite Forces: Unit 77 has a fun story and features some great map design, but it's dragged right down by the fiddly controls; if a smoother system was in place then it would have been a much more eventful and enjoyable game.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
All of these games are fun to spend some time with, to a lesser or greater degree, but none of them will keep you entertained for very long, making this a nice filler for an hour between the other games you're currently playing.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
If you're not an Xbox Live subscriber then steer away from this like a marine-filled armoured truck would steer away from a street full of RPG-wielding Somalians. If you're into your shooters and fancy a change, you might just like this - it's no Halo 2 but it has real charm and personality, once you settle into the flow.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It’s a rare luxury that not many films have, and if you, like I did, feel compelled to play the game after seeing the film then I can happily tell you that I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with what is on offer.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
On the one hand it's an enjoyable enough low rent action arcade game that looks great, and on the other its reliance on old and outdated ideas often remind you what you don't miss about the games of eras past.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The best party title on the PS2 and has a superb likeness to The Muppet Show, making it a fine purchase for anyone with a thing for cuddly comedy.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
If Fatal Inertia came with local four-player gaming then I'd recommend it for split screen play alone, because there's nothing like it on the Xbox 360 at the moment.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Limited in engrossing gameplay and adult content; there is barely anything here to justify that 18 rating and it would have been more interesting if the game had taken more risks, showing more of what really goes on at the Playboy Mansion (and it's more than just photo shoots!)- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Unfortunately Honeycomb Beat is devoid of quality and originality, and while I'd love to do a Jeremy Clarkson and go on drooling about its redeeming features for another few paragraphs after slagging it off so badly, it just doesn't have any - apart from its massive size, but sadly you'll be bored before you've even scratched the surface.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Smooth animation, a fantastic soundtrack and plenty of variety in the use of combat and force powers make this a game that's engaging and fun to play through.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
PictoImage isn't a bad game, but neither is the version that you can play with only a pen and paper.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
A decent enough game in its own right; inarguably flawed but offering up a decent enough challenge and more wisecracking, wall-crawling, web-slinging, redhead-snogging action than you can shake a genetically altered spider's web at... in other words, it's worth checking out.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
When it comes to complimenting the movie experience, the PSP version of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End appears to provide the best experience.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
A very mixed experience, showcasing some pretty impressive ideas with a largely woeful follow through.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
A bit of a mishmash, not made any better by the ease of which you can wade through the myriad foes, or the rather drab and dreary (although perhaps intentionally so) graphics.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's not a game that'll rise over the better-publicised Battlestations: Midway, but Pacific Storm: Allies is more than just a cheap copy - it's a difficult but satisfyingly fulfilling game that those who persevere may ultimately find more rewarding than the arcade action that Battlestations provides.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Mega Man Star Force Dragon is the proverbial Yin/Yang. The combat - the true essence of Mega Man - is engaging and complex if you want it to be, and can best be described with one word: fun. The battle cards, albeit contrived, add a nice flavor to the game and building your deck to suit your style is quick and easy. But the other side, the story and accompanying cut scenes, have the ability to rip you right out of the game to look for something else to play.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
There really is nothing else quite like it - which could be a good thing or a bad thing, as no competition for Trapt means that the flaws can stay.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
All of these games are fun to spend some time with, to a lesser or greater degree, but none of them will keep you entertained for very long, making this a nice filler for an hour between the other games you're currently playing.- AceGamez

- Critic Score
Thankfully shipping without some kind of half-arsed multiplayer, Risen is the kind of game that will probably get played by fans of the genre but overlooked by everyone else, which is a bloody shame really, as there is a decent game behind the niggles - and one that impresses more often than it disappoints.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Despite the dated gameplay, lack of online options and baffling storyline, the game manages to still be fun thanks in no small part to the charm that the Gundam license brings to the title.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
It's no Resident Evil, and if you're new to the genre then really that's the place to start, but ObsCure II does provide a few scares and there are far worse ways to spend a few hours on a dark, lonely night.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
The Wrath of Set not only stands out amongst its higher-profile peers but actually surpasses some of them in terms of its simplistic addictiveness.- AceGamez
-
- Critic Score
Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a fun game, colourful and beautifully presented, with an engaging combat system that includes mutants to control, which deliver moments of pure satisfaction. The game is definitely too easy for more experienced gamers, and even younger ones will probably find the whole thing a bit of a doddle, but there's a lot to be said for a game that you can just pick up and play, while the combination of comedic elements that will have kids rolling around in laughter and the co-op mode makes this a winner.- AceGamez
