Toy Story 3: The Video Game is, quite simply, one of the best movie-licensed video games to be released. The game truly captures the elements of the film everyone knows and loves – providing enjoyable gameplay for gamers of all ages.

If you are good at fighting games then NeoGeo Battle Coliseum is right up your street at a reasonable price of 800 Microsoft Points, but for the beginner I wouldn't advise picking this one up unless you are prepared for the steep learning curve.

I enjoyed it a fair bit and, for any Green Day fan, it's an essential purchase but I don't feel it is worth the money.

Overall there are a lot of things to do in Tiger Woods 11 which is great.

It combines the cuteness of Peanuts with the brilliance of Crimson Skies and creates one of the most surprising packages of 2010 and probably one of the best online experiences of this year.

When it's working it’s brilliant fun, making you feel like a spy, the rest of the time is an exercise in either manic depression or frustration

Overall, Pure Football is a weak attempt at obtaining the football crown. Whilst it offers a unique experience and some promising ideas and concepts, the over-use of meters, the lack of game modes and the poor implementation of features means the title is one to avoid, even at the reduced prices retailers are offering the game for.

On the whole, Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex is a poorly developed Xbox Live Arcade title. The repetitive puzzles, the short story mode and the lack of decent game modes doesn’t deem the game a worthy purchase – especially at the 800 Microsoft Points price tag.

Despite a poor multiplayer, Doom II really is a great game and if you have never played a Doom title before I urge you to try it.

Voodoo Dice is relatively cheap weighing in at 800 MSPs, and there is enough here to keep you going for a couple of hours. The question really is, will you want to play it for that long? The answer is probably not.

As a single player game, UFC Undisputed 2010 is not very good. It's too complicated, drawn out and at points, plain boring, but when taken online, the entertainment really begins.

ModNation Racers is a well-crafted racer that is certainly worth taking out for a spin.

Solder-X 2: Final Prototype is a very novice friendly entry into the shooter genre, yet at the same time it is able to cater to the veterans of this type of game.

To conclude, Blur: The Video Game is one of the better arcade racers in recent times. Whilst the game doesn’t bring anything new to the table in terms of gameplay, Blur certainly is genre-defying – implementing the use of power-ups incredibly well; as well as offering a thoroughly in-depth online multiplayer.

Overall, Aqua has a solid single player campaign which will last a couple of hours with great visual and audio, but unfortunately, the lack of online multiplayer and very few modes for local games means that you might not be too tempted to play the game again after finishing the campaign.

In short, the game presents a slice of quick-action pie to pass the time but won't keep you anchored for any impressive stretches of time. At the hefty ol' price of 1200MSP, I can't recommend a purchase, 800 would have been far more reasonable.

Despite it's flaws, Alan Wake is not a game you can miss out on.

Rockstar have once again showed that they know just how to create video games, oozing brilliance from the graphical prowess to the elegant and fluid gameplay. It's a shame that the mission structure, variety and polish attempt to drag the game away from its shining glory.

To conclude, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a great addition to the series that fans of the predecessors will enjoy.

As with many film tie-ins this feels very rushed and it's evident here more so than usual.

Overall, Split/Second: Velocity is a fantastic arcade racing title.

Rocket Knight certainly bares it's 16-bit brethren well, taking an interesting character with plenty of uniqueness and not spoiling it with a remake and re-visioning.

Lost Planet 2 is a huge package. It’s challenging, rewarding, frustrating and enjoyable all at the same time.

The barebones have always worked and EA has gone by the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" idea and kept most of it the same. Instead, EA have thrown in a bunch of interesting extras that make a purchase worthwhile.

Lost Planet 2 is a huge package. It’s challenging, rewarding, frustrating and enjoyable all at the same time.

For 1200 MS Points, the asking price seems too high for what it is. It's definitely more of an intriguing look rather than an instant classic.

Arcade classic fans may be willing to shell out 1200MS Points to fill their needs, but for the rest of us there are much better, and cheaper, alternatives on the market.

If you enjoyed the movie, the game may potentially be worth a wait, but as with most movie game tie-ins, the game just isn’t up to scratch and will no doubt be found in the bargain-bin in a shop near you soon.
