Unfortunately, the technical flaws are too obvious to ignore and play a hand in keeping gamers from enjoying a fun adventure and one of Lady Croft’s finest moments.

Unfortunately the same problems that plagued it before are back again, and just because it’s now portable doesn’t necessarily make it enjoyable this time around.

Tetris DS failed to wow me. A lacklustre online service, and only one or two new modes worth playing just don't add up to a DS game's worth of value for me, especially since I can play Quinn on my Mac with the same rules for free.

The poor A.I. and tired looking graphics are inexcusable. The addition of Multiplayer modes, while a nice addition to the series, wasn't enough to save this game.

While Sonic Riders can be fun in the beginning it will quickly become boring.

Sure, the basic gameplay's there, but even for previous SMB fans, this would have to be a try-before-you-buy title.

The fact most of these games can be played in a couple of minute bursts is good for people on the go and the budget pricing point makes this a worthy addition to your PSP game collection.

A let down is the lack of control over the military units, the consistent and predictable AI especially within the vikings.

The game is visually appealing but does also suffer a few problems such as poor AI for your team mates, this is alleviated in multiplayer mode.

Following 6 different storylines works well but I think the developers were aiming for more when they set out and the game just stops short of the goals.

The graphics are ok but could've been better and the audio is typical TMNT fare.

The 3D realm hasn't been kind to Castlevania graphically. A lot of gamers will be turned off by the slow start to the game.

There isn’t much to this game at all. Just grab a weapon and shoot stuff endlessly.

The single player campaign is very playable, very enjoyable, and also very long.

The developers did a good job with the graphics putting actual scenes from the movie in the game and sound by acquiring the film’s voice talents.

If you love to mod cars then L.A. Rush is the game for you, its a modders dream. Unfortunately L.A. Rush is an average title at best and there isn't much to distinguish it from other similar titles.

Graphically superior from the previous 2 titles.

This is nothing on the beautiful little gem I [didn't] played four years ago.

The game looks great and the sound complements the game well.

The poor AI is inexcusable and very frustrating.

The game has had a major overhaul of the FPS engine and a nice improvement on the "action dictates storyline" aspect.

The game follows the movie closely and looks superb.

The fact that they deliberately ensured that you can't pick up items until you need them is just a lame attempt to lengthen what is already a short game.

Not as good as its Xbox cousin but still an enjoyable title with lots to do and will keep a tennis fan happy for ages.

Frantix is very linear in play, but is good if you have a few minutes to spare as most levels can be finished pretty quickly.

Unfortunately it only has about 5-7 hours of gameplay without much lastability.

It's challenging, fun, genuinely hilarious, and sets the benchmark for future PSP games in this genre - the likes of Daxter and Prince of Persia have a lot to live up to.

There are some problems with the game, but a great combat system, great multiplayer and great presentation all make up enough for the game’s shortcomings.

All the machine guns, sawed-offs, and rocket launchers can't save this title. 187 Ride or Die lacks a number of things that could have made this a worthwhile action game so all we're left with is a disappointing racing game.

Been there, done that.

The majority of the games has plenty of replay value and will keep most people playing for ages.

Pac 'n' Roll proudly stands as the king of mediocrity. Not bad, not good, but just there anyway, pushed out of the door to keep the income coming.

The game feels unfinished in parts and unfortunately there isn’t enough content in the game to another play through once you have completed the game.

This is the best Batman video game ever released, saying that this game still isn't a AAA title but is above average. The linear storyline does subtract from the playability but this is really not a true hindrance.

The basic storyline is good enough and the game does bring a few new aspects to the genre such as having to fill your car up with petrol. Unfortunately though this vision became lost during development and the game just feels unfinished.

The fact that there’s not much more you can do apart from hit a ball over a net makes Volleyball games unfulfilling and extremely limited.

A nice attempt, but an overall feeling of unfulfilling incompleteness.

Follows the movie’s storyline quite faithfully.

Features the backbone and potential of a great first-person shooter: lush graphics, great music and ambience, massive, well-designed environments and a unique storyline. When it comes down to it, though, the story is told poorly and the gameplay is incredibly repetitive, bland and hardly innovative.

Only the true RE addicts should pick this one up.

The graphics are supreme and almost unmatched in today’s strategies, but with "Age of Empire III" just around the corner, we can’t see Stronghold 2 sustaining life for a long time in anybodies gaming world.

The game is good for those who are just after a laugh and a fun time with their mates away from 'stat slaves', which have become far too frequent on a little-known FPS called "Halo 2."

If you can put up with annoying controls, stupid team mates, and what simply feels like a rushed title, then there are some moments in Close Combat: First to Fight which are rewarding, but overall the game really isn't worth the trouble.

A good solid game, as it should be considering it’s the fifth in the series. Being released around the same time as "Tekken 5" though, it’s incredibly noticeable how one series can progress and develop new modes of gameplay, while another can simply try to release the same old.

A messy port of the year-old Xbox version, bearing disappointing graphics and sound.

If you can get past the slightly annoying controls while swinging around and the short length of the game, then pick this title up.

Fans of turn based strategy games will enjoy this title though, if you aren't a fan then I suggest avoiding this title.

The game is long enough to keep most fans pleased, with the small multiplayer mode adding some additional lifespan if you have a friend who also owns a copy of the game.

The forts concept has been added with precision, ensuring that it moulds into the game's structure almost seamlessly. Unfortunately, though, the gameplay is still painfully slow.

Special in its own way, and is a one-of-a-kind in a market full of games that have been done over oh so many times.

Just an average game really. Nothing really grabs you to keep playing.

It’s a shame though that the game only lasts for about 4-5 hours though, as Constantine could have been a good 3rd person shooter adventure if done properly.

The Arwing levels improved from Dinosaur Planet, while the on-foot ones worsened.

Black Monday has a few glaring faults with control, over your character, targeting and a camera system that hurts the overall game play experience.

The whole touch-screen system needs to be reviewed, as there are plenty of better ideas out there that just aren’t being used in a lot of the third party Nintendo DS games.

Demon Stone deserves 75% because it’s not the best hack and slash game out there, probably because it’s a measly port that they probably threw together at the last minute.

Overall we gave it a 6.5 because it does have a fair bit of life in it, but there’s a few things about the game that are just too annoying to put up with for very long.

Rogue Agent had the premise to be a great action title, playing the villain but it isn't. Rogue Agent is an average FPS, with an uninspiring single player, with decent multiplayer.

The words: unfinished, short, below par, and disappointing come to mind after spending a few hours playing around with Spider-Man 2 DS.

It's repetitive, occasionally frustrating and visually unappealing. Put your cash to good use and grab the cheaper and near-perfect "Burnout 3" instead.

Despite its downfalls, it still maintains solid gameplay and will be a winner with the kids.

Half the time you might find yourself falling asleep at the wheel, rather than getting too excited about Outrun 2. The first time you pop it in, it looks promising, but beyond the slick veneer there isn't much more to it than those first few minutes of excitement.

While it does lack in certain graphical aspects and contains some fairly linear worlds, the game's concept is unique and the transformation feature really adds a lot of variety to the gameplay.

It might be a good present for a lonely mate though, but that's about it.

Though the game features many replayability features the casual gamer won't be compelled to do so considering the fact that the game gets repetitive and difficult early on what with the constant fighting and all.

Although it's not a hard game, it can get quite tedious going back and forth around the world to please a girl, trying to get that perfect trampoline combination, and win at Quarters whilst still managing to get enough money to buy those cool clothes to impress that special girl.

The graphics in Robotech: Invasion are, put simply, average at best and very dated.

A pretty lacklustre game - in both the pinball and Mario aspects.

If you’re a keen gamer and not a big fan of the strategy simulation games, stay clear of Evil Genius as it won’t bring you any satisfaction as opposed to a leading FPS game out on PC these days.

It will offer you around five to ten hours of solid gameplay.

Shark Tale does a fantastic job of representing the film authentically as a whole, but it’s its very basic, mini-game style levels and side-scrolling gameplay that let it down.

Featuring little to no employment of special effects or lighting, some blocky character models, terrible lip-synch and a whole lot of flat, messy textures, Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo is rarely anything special in terms of graphics.

The worst in the series, but is by no means a bad game...The most disappointing thing about the game, though is that it only borders on being scary, and this has always been one of the biggest elements in the Silent Hill series.

The best Terminator game yet, but its arcade-style gameplay, extreme difficulty and minor flaws let it down a bit.

The attempt at injecting a strategy theme into the series just doesn’t seem to fit in with the game’s arcade feel and the battling is repetitive and generally bland.

A fairly ordinary game with fairly ordinary gameplay.

One of the better controlled games.

It just lacks some of the special elements that other Survival Horror and Action Adventure games have that make the game immensely fun, and therefore you won’t pick this over "Resident Evil or "Silent Hill."

A fairly unique game that is, overall, quite fun. Its flaws lie, unfortunately, in the largest part of any game - the gameplay.

The disappointing thing about Athens 2004 is the party-style button-mashing gameplay.

The game’s presentation is quite average and what many would call the meat of the game, the racing, falls far below any of the realistic racing you’ll find out there today.

The jump animation seems very stiff and looks like Tanner hasn't stretched in years. Tanner can also swim which looks marginally better than his running technique.

The online mode makes up for some of the problems with Omega Strain, but if you don't have the PS2 adapter, or not a fan of the series, there is very little for you in the game.

The game play could be overhauled further as it's slow, controls could be more responsive, ball physics still can do with some working.

Though there are obvious faults, but Red Dead Revolver does allow you to be a tobacco chewin’, foul mouthed gunslinger cowboy in the wild wild west.

A repetitive and dull First-Person Shooter.

With the lack luster graphics, textures, lighting, and shadows being stripped from the port, the game suffers and doesn’t allow the full gaming experience of a Clancy title that we know in titles like "Ghost Recon Jungle Storm."

It’s worth a look if you’re a fan of the western setting but keep in mind that it’s nothing special when juxta positioned with the kings of the genre.

If you're getting a few mates around and don't have enough controllers for them, give Worms 3D a rent as you only need one controller to play the multiplayer.

There isn't a lot that stands out except the obvious online features a good level design, and decent stealth action.

The computer AI is disappointing at times, rather than working together as a team your opponent's efforts are disjoint allowing them to be picked off one at a time.

Being Xbox Live compatible, and a 4-8 player game, Carve would also be the perfect gift for a mate’s birthday if you’re really stuck for ideas.

The lack luster textures and collision detection let the game down, it made the otherwise enjoyable gameplay frustrating.

A good example how top quality motion capture can be used within a game. Unfortunately the "revolutionary" control system hurts an otherwise solid game.

The Entente is a fairly big game with dozens of missions to complete, so if it turns out you like it, you may spend several weeks churning out all possible opportunities that this game has to offer.

Whats unfortunate is there is no real difference in graphics from Sega GT 2002, which is disappointing. I would have liked to have seen better car models, car damage and effects. Why is it that games which claim excellent realism, often the cars handling is poor?

The idea of bringing fighting into three-dimensional arenas with freedom of movement is excellent, but bigger, multi-floored arenas with more weapon pickups would’ve added more variety and eliminated repetitivity from the simple, round arenas.
