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.

The game can be finished on easy overnight with just 12 missions to play, but there are a lot of reasons to go back and play each of the levels, especially with the medal system.

If you were hooked on the original then purchasing The Stunts & Effects pack is a good buy!

A wonderful continuation of the story of Half Life.

If this review hasn’t sold you, at least give the game a hire. Hitman: Blood Money will keep you on the edge of your seat through each diehard mission.

Heroes V brings all Heroes fans back to their origins as the game builds on all of the series' past experiences to make a truly epic game. Days of campaigning is involved in beating Heroes V, and RTS fans will most definitely feel that their money has been well invested.

If you have never played a Lemmings game before then I recommend picking this title up. Fans of the series will be disappointed in the lack of new levels and the level editor leaves much to be desired.

Once you delve in to the game, you’ll find that there are tones of unlockables and Xbox 360 achievements that will take many hours to complete, making the game well worth its budget price tag.

This game is a solid title for anyone who wants no holds barred brawling wit superheroes!

Sin Episodes: Emergence is bland and repetitive yet frequently funny and sometimes entertaining game. The game remains start to finish a very standard first-person shooter albeit one with ragdoll physics and shiny explosions.

The inclusion of connectivity to the PSP was a stroke of genius that I hope other developers take note of and use in the future.

The balance of action and puzzles is near perfect. The working controls are easy to pick up and the adventurous storyline keeps you wanting to play.

Evolution isn't much of an evolution from "Instincts." That being said Evolution is still a top notch title.

What lets it down is the lack of variety in missions. Although the single-player mode will lose your interest quickly, Xbox Live is the heart of Blazing Angels with a multitude of well thought out combative and cooperative modes.

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.

An excellent puzzle title that offers mixture of simple but challenging gameplay. The multiplayer options and extra downloadable content will help to keep this game in most peoples PSPs.

Metal Gear Acid 2 is a great strategy game, and its gameplay keeps the Metal Gear spirit close to heart, despite radical differences. MGS fan or not, this is much better than the first and a recommended purchase.

The game is entertaining and challenging missions, excellent writing, terrific voice acting, and the way it recaptures the feeling of one of the greatest American films of all time.

Rise of Legends does evolve the series and the genre. The gameplay is perfectly balanced between all three factions and the graphics stunning. Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends features the best balance I’ve seen in an RTS – ever. If you are a fan of the genre, don’t go past this title!!

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 new innovations to the genre are likely to be copied by other games. Ultimately Driver Parallel Lines is definitely worth trying out.

Construction mode and WiFi give Mega Man Powered Up almost limitless replayability.

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.

If you are looking for a fairly mindless shooter then Black will keep you busy until the end, even if does have a basic storyline that is best ignored, and the game doesn't take long to complete.

The one hundred missions will keep you playing for ages. Unfortunately what could've been a top notch title is let down by poor camera issues and some repetitive gameplay.

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.

While the online modes stand out as superb, the career mode can’t be overlooked and ends up being a great deal of fun. Put simply, this title is also amazing to look at.

The controls do take a little to get used to but once you have mastered the controls then you are in for a treat.

There is an engaging story and lots of new moves to learn.

It breathes new life into the puzzle genre and looks fun enough to make sure that it appeals to more then just fans of puzzle games.

The variety of gameplay modes available will keep you playing for ages.

The voice acting seems a bit too much for the game but suits the game well and adds some character.

It has the appealing cartoon cutesy humour, the controls and gameplay we all know and love, plenty of extras and a few new surprises.

This is exactly the kind of thing that the DS was created for. Excellent, unique, fun, you'll never have so much fun with fish (unless you want to play Seaman on the Dreamcast). [JPN Import]

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.

It just seemed to me that for every good addition to the DS game, they left out a good thing or failed to fix a problem that was evident in the first.

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

Unfortunately the short length of the game might make this a rental for most but it is definitely worth it to give this game a go.

While there are certainly flaws in the single player and multiplayer, the gameplay, fantastic visuals and engaging storyline make it a worthy.

While PD0 may not be a revolutionary game, it can be considered a huge evolutionary step in the right direction.

A must have title. If this is the future of console gaming, I'm sold.

From mind blowing graphics and lighting effects and the brilliant experience of speed, and the enormous amount of vehicle choices and racing options.

Gamers who are seeking a more modern RPG, possibly darker and a more mature western-style storyline may not really find Dragon Quest VIII to their taste; the whole game may be a little too cute for their liking.

A vastly ambitious game that delivers on a number of levels.

The action is fluid and fun, though some of the difficulty is a bit off. It looks gorgeous, and I give top props to the developers for the engine in both the normal stages and 3D boss battles.

New York looks fantastic and really feels alive as you drive through the busy metropolis, gazing at the pedestrian hordes swarming on the sidewalks.

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.

With a deeper single player mode, great LAN capabilities and free online play, it will offer hours of enjoyment for you, and your mates.

While the A.I. may leave something to be desired, the positives far outweigh the negatives in this awesome title. The best wrestling game on the PS2 to date.

X3 – Reunion is bigger, and visually more impressive than any of the X titles that preceded it. However the game play can be very repetitive and you can lose interest unless you are a dedicated player.

Zipper Interactive has done a great job by bringing the enjoyable gameplay of the console versions to the PSP with minimal change to the classic formula.

An ambitious, brutal, slice of Americana with a great look, great story, and some great experiences to be had but, frustratingly, it doesn't all add up to overall greatness.

One of the better horror games out there and will definitely give you a fright factor, definitely recommended for horror fans.

An ambitious, brutal, slice of Americana with a great look, great story, and some great experiences to be had but, frustratingly, it doesn't all add up to overall greatness.

While the addition of a second player character would have been cool had the co-op mode made the cut, without it Sylvia's presence seems a bit pointless. Nevertheless, a strong outing for the only guy I know that can make pink and red lycra sexy.

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.

In terms of gameplay and balance, Battlefront II is a massive improvement over its predecessor.

Its excellent replay value due to its multiplayer capabilities will place it on the most wanted list for many gamers.

One of the most intense and exciting game for the PS2 in ages.

It may not be the most realistic in terms of solider damage and battlefield strategy, but for bringing across the atmosphere, and pure chaos of World War II, Call of Duty 2 is the still the best around.

It provides intoxicating gaming on a tremendously large scale rarely seen before in the hack and slash war genre.

Offers the same overall experience as the PC version which is good news for console gamers specifically those looking for a new shooting game.

What's not to like about this game with 30 vehicles, 50 weapons, 4 playable forces, support for 24 players online and over a dozen maps?

This game works well on the Xbox due to the simplified controls and is a major improvement on the past 2 console versions.

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.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games that have to be experienced and has something that most games lack, originality.

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.

Stubbs is a fun title but unfortunately is a bit too short.

What I didn't expect was that the areas themselves would take up so much space on the overall map and that one victory would take over multiple states. I also didn't expect that the units would be so incredibly limited.

The bigger environments and drivable vehicles are both welcomed additions to the series. The only let down is poor enemy A.I. in the single player missions but these are forgivable once you start playing multiplayer.

The addition of vehicles to the series is a nice touch even if they are a little too cumbersome to control.

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.

The sound is superb, something about singing while you are in battle is enjoyable and at times you will find yourself singing along to the game.

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.

Dragonshard has a core of a solid graphics engine, adequate sound and introduces some innovative gameplay elements such as the dual realms.

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

A solid game even considering the few problems I mentioned previously and is a cut above most of the RTS titles available.

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.

If you can look paste the long loading times, then this is an awesome title and definitely recommended.

The overall combination of shooting, stealth, primal abilities, vehicles, great level design, storyline, and amazing graphics and sound add up to a must have game.

If you can look paste the long loading times, then this is an awesome title and definitely recommended.

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.

Two new campaigns, new units, and an entire new playable army makes for a great expansion pack.

The game feels a lot like a movie, but the interaction is extensive enough that the player is a crucial part of the unfolding storyline.

You can see for yourself that Fable has damn fine looking graphics. The attention to detail can not really be underestimated in this respect. The character models look brilliant and the aesthetic changes in your hero’s look over time add just that little bit extra to the game’s finesse.

The best golf game available so far. The game features excellent graphics, a large range of detailed real life courses and a large number of controllable characters.

Complicated characters with rich personalities, a thoroughly complex and enjoyable story-line, massively entertaining interactive action sequences, intriguing mysteries, stylish sex, beautiful scenes, and a lack of flaws make Fahrenheit one of the best games this year.

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.
