Fun to pick up and play Easy to learn.

A breath of fresh air for Xbox LIVE Arcade providing a fun turn based strategy game well worth your 800 MS points.

Is Lost Odyssey the best RPG experience on the market? If it isn’t it’s making a strong push towards being one, at least being the best on the Xbox 360. It is however near the top as far as an intimate storyline and a true JRPG.

A very addictive game with great graphics.

Overall Turok is mediocre at best, offering a somewhat engaging experience with impressive sound, average visuals and some solid replayability if achievement hunting is your passion. The dinosaurs save Touchstones effort, from what would have been a very dull FPS without them. Dinosaurs are still cool.

An action packed blockbuster featuring some of the best elements to be seen on a console, conveniently masking the flaws.

The story mode can easily be completed within 7 hours and you will also unlock you the majority of the achievements (with the rest coming from the multiplayer).

Awesome soundtrack will see your foot tapping throughout the game.

A complete and detailed chess package.

It is seriously hard not to recommend PjM to anyone, as it is just such a great tribute to the tower defence genre, and is easily one of the best titles available on the PlayStation Store.

The real joys are when you can explore together with seven other friends and share stories, show off stunts and attempt wacky challenges.

Overall, Burnout Paradise is smashing title (sorry, again). With a lengthy game life and its near on perfect gameplay, it will take you days or even weeks to find all of the hidden routes, billboards and fences located around the city, as well as building up your licence, collecting cars and winning all the events.

Sure there are a couple Star Wars rip offs such as the beam sword and some of your enemies looking like they wear storm trooper helmets, but all-in-all this is a unique game, with just the right amount of motion controls that gives enough in cast, speech, game-play, and story to keep you wanting more.

Poor graphics, poor gameplay, poor everything.

Magnificently reproduced in a way to feel terrible even for a port of a 1982 arcade title.

NFL Tour is a fun game that you will have fun playing, but after completing Tour Mode you are only left with two mini games and Xbox Live which isn't enough in my opinion to play the game at any great length.

But it lacks depth and creativity.

The inclusion of online features add even more longevity to the game.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is by no means a total loss and deserves a flutter, just don’t get too carried away especially if you want a nostalgia trip.

Strangely addicting.

If you’re looking for a racing title on the Arcade, Gripshift does a passable job doing it.

The Bemani series is like a vampire that just won't die. However much Konami drives a stake through its heart with extremely poor graphics and un-original gameplay, which literally bleed it dry.

PAIN does have significant replay value and is well worth the low price of $10 on the PSN.

The graphics in the updated versions do look rather good, but the game is just too frustrating to play for long periods of time.

In the audio department the sound effects and music are passable, but not really anything worth paying much attention to. They get the job done, but never really push the boundaries, with most of the sound effects feeling very generic.

With its faultless audio, ambitious graphics, incredible digital characters and compelling storyline, Mass Effect feels like you are playing though a sci-fi blockbuster with a bottomless movie budget.

There is just no other game out there that makes all your mates want to sit and play an instrument co-operatively until their fingers bleed. Quite simply, a work of genius, and the slight discrepancies in the peripherals are forgotten in an instant.

Rock Band's longevity will last as long as it has support for it.
