The ‘cuteness' of Partners in Time does not take away from any of the overall scope of the game and developers AlphaDream have done the Mario name proud with pretty graphics, great sound and great gameplay to match.

MLB 08: The Show for the PS3 is arguably the best baseball game I have played in this next-generation era of gaming.

This is evident with the recently released Metroid Prime Trilogy which offers three highly regarded titles at the same price point as any other single Wii game making it a tremendous value.

Little Big Planet 2 is a very accessible game as it can be played in small bursts and does not require a whole lot of skill or commitment.

Overall, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is an enjoyable game and an incredibly deep one at that.
