    It is playable, but only just for a few minutes.

    It’s quite an enjoyable career for The Kid, but once that’s done, that’s practically the end of the game. Sure, you have the Exhibition mode, Training and Online, but there’s nothing more to it.

    Overall, NASCAR 09 is not for the casual racing fan and will only be enjoyed by NASCAR enthusiasts.

    Overall I enjoyed NASCAR 09 for a fair few hours, but I got bored after around 6-8 hours of play.

    If you are looking for a great fighting game, stop looking--you've just found it. Whether you are a fan of the TV show, or have never even heard of it, DBZ: BL is quite simply brilliant.

    Simply put, there is no reason that anyone should pay money to play this game.

    Aces of the Galaxy is certainly not for everyone. Whilst the level of quality is clear and fun is certainly to be had, the game will scare off many with its fast and confusing style of gameplay.

    Roogoo is an addictive puzzle game with very simple controls and enjoyable multiplayer.

    Sadly the game isn’t as spectacular as I was hoping and the repetitiveness will soon set in during your first trek through the levels providing very little replay value, however while it lasts, you will no doubt love whacking people time and time again with a few sequences, while also testing your timing and even driving skills.

    Whether combat is fast and gruesomely beautiful or at a halt leaving nothing but the scenery to admire, Ninja Gaiden II is presented beautifully.

    GRID is ultimately the fun and enjoyable racing game that many people have been waiting for. With beautiful graphics and an amazing flashback feature, who wouldn't buy this game? With so many different game types, GRID really does cater all thrills that drivers seek.

    Whilst the game is certainly not a must-purchase due to its length, it is definitely a must rent for younger and casual gamers.

    Being an “achievement addict” when I first got my hands on the list, I was more-or-less drooling... OK, that was a slight over-exaggeration but they are one of the best achievement lists I have seen.

    The problem that crops up with Buku Sudoku is a matter of value. There are literally hundreds of sources on the web where you can play Sudoku for free. Why would you pay money to play something that you can play for free?

    If you don't have Xbox LIVE, steer well clear of this because the AI simply doesn't cut it. Still, if you have LIVE, and are looking for a fun online shooter to tide you over, you could do a lot worse than ET: QW.

    Fantastic story, genuinely funny, great comic feel.

    Whether you are working on a Yoga pose, stretching your thighs, or going for that perfect down hill run, there is a quality and a depth to each of the activities. This speaks volumes about the investment (and commitment) Nintendo has to their causal gaming approach.

    The audio in UEFA Euro 2008 is also extremely great.

    Prince Caspian isn't really bad, like many other movie tie-ins, but it does have some major flaws such as the camera and reptitiveness which really let it down.

    Ultimately the game dies due to the problems with the multiplayer, and so here lies the paradox: it would be great to see more people playing this online, but online is so crippled it doesn't make buying it worth while. Go figure.

    Despite having some great gameplay, SR: TVG is ultimately let down by its serious lack of depth.

    Whilst Boom Blox may look childish, it will appeal to audiences of all ages.

    Whilst the game has some nice features in it, the overall gameplay is far too repetitive and boring.

    Let me put it this way, there are times when I’m playing GTA IV and I forget that it’s a game. It literally is an immersive experience.

    The Wii Wheel and the wide open online courses all make it a lot less difficult for first time karters.

    If you have a few spare and want a nice mix between strategy and card games, then go ahead, but Lost Cities will not be for everyone.

    A half-decent title.Midway have brought in a few interesting ideas to spice up street basketballand whilst a few of the ideas work, a lot of them let the game down.

    Overall Battlezone offers little life span and just feels outdated.

    Prologue is a superb game in general and if you can live without the online play as it’s a pain in the backside on most occasions, there’s no reason not to pick it up.
