A charming game and one that will have you playing for what you believe to be an hour, only to look up and realize five hours have passed.

In a world where driving titles such as Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer rule, Racing Gears Advance stands out as a breath of fresh air; a driving game that is simply out to entertain the masses with an incredibly developed sense of excitement and panache.

It's an inventive creation that basks in some of the finest voice acting available, an incredible amount of visual pizzazz, and an incredible mixture of gameplay.

Coming in at ten dollars less that its console counterpart, you should be giving your PC some long overdue attention.

Field Commander proves to be a nicely presented and intuitive strategy game that is simplistic enough to lure in the unsuspecting, but thorough enough to satisfy the expecting.

Overall the game manages to cram all these different game play elements into a single title and makes it work.

A fun pick and play action game. Insane enough for the most hardcore of fighting fans and friendly enough for anyone in the family to enjoy. Costing only 800 points, it's a safe bet some good times will be had by all.

A fine mix of adventure, puzzle and mini-games that all end up falling into place gracefully.

With an astounding muscial score, amazing graphics and incredible gameplay, Ikargua is a gaming dream come true.

Though the game is uncannily similar to the first one, with very few changes having been made, it is an exceptional game and one Sony shouldn't have glossed over.

The first time you create your own sick flip trick is worth the price of admission. This game, despite all its faults rocks. It is indeed the best Hawk game to date. even over the coveted "THPS3."

Everything from the gorgeous graphics, the smooth gameplay and even the well designed in-game GUI signifies everything that could and should be great about PSP games.

One of the best music games on the PSP. Even along side some of it's more fancier competitors it easily stands alone, as a fun and enjoyable adventure with some of the craziest visuals and tunes to ever land on the PSP.

Other than that, you've got the first definitive RPG from Japan that shows what the 360 can do and it's just the start - there are more to come.

While it lacks a lot of actual scenes from the new film (it uses more footage from the Two Towers and the Fellowship of the Ring with Gandalf doing voiceovers), it still tells the final part of the story and will spoil many facets of the film.

There's just so much to the game that I feel this is probably only the second or third 360 game to ever really be worth the extra money: I mean, it's really two complete games on a single disc.

It's a very social game. This isn't a game where you'll be talking crap back and forth, nor is it a game where you'll be taking commands from a squad leader. It's a social event/game which is a lot of fun.

A story telling masterpiece.

While on the surface it might seem like a mindless brawler, it's surprisingly robust, and is one of few games that really lets you feel like the heroes you're portraying.

Remember this kids, Clive Barker Mercury Steam and Codemasters have formed together to make what is in my mind one of the best shooters this year.

Peter Molyneux and the rest of the team at Lionhead Studios have for the most part achieved what they set out to do with the original Fable.

Perfect Dark Zero slows the pace down a bit, forcing players to think more on a strategic level, rather than a "shoot the living hell out of anything that moves" level."

With a myriad of options through character creation, and a new twist on tactical combat with the "geo-system", this may be one of the foremost MUST-HAVE games for the PSP this year.

But there's something I can quite put my finger on, some intangible quality that's missing from this version. Simply put, Call of Duty 3 is less epic. I know that sounds trite, but it's the truth.

Saint's Row has done something that "Grand Theft Auto" had never managed to do for me: the game is so over-the-top, so exaggerated, so hyperbolical, that it really makes you suspend your disbelief and just "act a fool", getting into the role of your own personalized character and becoming a gangster.

Seriously, it really makes you feel like you're back in the arcades, listening to bad 80's music in a darkened coin-operated world with your friends watching you play as you take on the competition — it's amazing and truly brings back an experience I haven't felt in years.

While its gameplay is not incredibly groundbreaking, or its story spellbinding, it does add new and fun elements to this genre. Nice boss battles, lots of different weapons, and lots of players online will keep you busy for quite awhile. It's a complete, solid package that anyone purchasing a PS3 should pick up with the system.

The controls for the PS2 version are nothing short of perfect, but the slightly reduced graphics and occasional framerate issues drop it down a notch.
