    I'm not exactly sure how much Wii points cost, but I don't think one thousand of them is too high a price for this game, it's not brilliant, but it's some nice simple fun that you'll enjoy sharing with your friends.

    So you’re left with a game that provides surprisingly enjoyable family-friendly fun, but one that doesn’t last longer than four hours (five if you’re a child) and misses opportunity after opportunity.

    In the end, Two Worlds is a bit like when you know there’s a five pound note hidden under a pile of rancid, squishy, steaming manure – sure, you’d like the money, but is it really worth wading through all that poop to get to it?

    It even brings some clever and unique aspects to the game design including two fun sections where you can manually spin platforms around to create the best route.

    The game is resplendent with in-jokes from the series, and a ridiculous amount of content from the series is present in some form. The trick is to see past the occasional frustration, and simplistic gameplay.

    The aspects it draws on do add a new element to the genre although they do slow down the action, making you work even harder to build your railway. The presentation makes the game feel half complete and the learning curve on the interface is unnecessary and sloppy on the tutorial.

    There are better games already out, but if you’re bored of them, need a trophy boost or just have an interest in this kind of shooter, know that it is an above average game, but at a price that should be reserved for much greater games at this length.

    It looks and plays fantastically well and recalls the days when flight sims were something fun and accessible as well as requiring intelligence.

    No one is going to cough up cash for two games that, to be honest, can be played with bits of paper if you have the time and inclination to make them.

    It’s not going to break any records or receive any awards, but in this early content dry PS3 time, I’m more than happy to play a game that seems to embrace the nostalgic simple level gameplay of old for less than the price of a "Guitar Hero 2" song pack on the 360.

    It's generic Pirate fare with caricature characters and plots derived from any Pirate film you care to mention.

    Now I know this game is aimed at a young market, but I think things are too dumbed down here and that they are underestimating the youth of today.

    The sound, animation, story and enemy AI are all lacking to some extent. This causes the game to be a lot less fun than it should be. The lack of story means that you're running around without a purpose and the lack of enemy AI really make this a rather flat feeling title.

    Tony Hawk RIDE is rubbish.

    The dialogue and the one-liners are simply inane. This and other aspects give you the feeling that the game was rushed out in time for the movie.

    There’s no easy way to put this, but Sonic the Hedgehog is quite possibly the worst Sonic game ever.

    Running away is a decent strategy, actually. If you see Dungeon Lords on the counter in your local games store, run away. Run as though your life depended on it.

    Unfortunately what you get at the end of the day here, despite it's 'Wacky' tag is an extremely average mini game compilation.

    An addictive blast of fast paced fun which quickly becomes a boring repetitive chore.

    I can only recommend this game to hardcore fans of the genre. Others would find it hard to get much enjoyment from it, especially when there are a lot of great RTS classics out there. This game is six years old and looks it m’lord.

    They really need to work on the game's AI to make the single player game fairer, and that wobbly reticule, if they are going to make another edition next year, but even then it'll still only be darts.

    The breaking of the missions into arbitrary short sections doesn't work for me, as I would prefer to see a large mission with sub-goals rather than what feels like lots of really short missions.

    Avoid Unleashed like you’d avoid Godzilla himself.

    The combat system is very basic and rather repetitive. The cut-scenes and story don't make a great deal of sense. The puzzle and adventure parts of the game aren't very well designed or thought through.

    If you are an absolute diehard darts fan, someone who really enjoys watching the televised tournaments then there is possibly something here for you, otherwise if you’re simply looking for a game of darts, one that you can enjoy with your mates? Well nip down to your local high street, a bog standard dartboard is likely to cost about half of where this game will RRP.

    Capcom has dropped the ball and left us with a title that will be forgotten about even before it hits the bargain bins, which won’t be too long at all by the looks of things.

    At the end of the day this is just another lacklustre movie tie in really, it had some good ideas badly executed, but if you are a fan of the movie you may get a few hours enjoyment out of it.

    Sky Diving remains a cheap and cheerful title that will get your Sixaxis muscles flowing again.

    Cheap, cheerful and a good laugh, even if it does lack a little longevity.

    The awkward controls mean that the other problems with the gameplay probably won’t be noticeable as you wrestle with the controller.
