    The visceral thrill and sheer, white-knuckle intensity of Burnout remains untouched. The game looks, sounds and controls as well as it ever has. Online play is excellent, if currently somewhat limited. There are only two real downers (the lack of event restarts and Crash mode) and we’re big fans of the open city design, though it does have a learning curve.

    The best feature of NMH has got to be the visceral combat system.

    It's neither a good depiction of the real thing, or fun.

    Intelligent Systems put an awful lot of thought and effort into Dark Conflict. The result is that the series has been rebooted and revitalised. If you’ve had Advance Wars fever in the past, prepare for a relapse.

    A passionless racing cocktail that’ll fail to start your engine.

    Epic Games has done a more than admirable job of transporting the game from PC onto PS3 and further refined their genre-leading gameplay. Offline gamers, however, should just rent it.

    Everything that's wrong comes down to a lack of polish, and a poor choice in multiplayer game management.

    Its sheer randomness and awfulness is a remarkable sight.

    If you’re into arcade TC4, you’ll really dig this.

    Just like your typical medical soap, there’s a seemingly endless 42 episodes to contend with, plus bonus challenges.

    In the shadow of this missed opportunity, Impossible Mission is just a tease.

    The genius of Super Mario Galaxy is that its basic game design solves every problem that’s ever existed with a platform or adventure game.

    If you can lose yourself in Steel Panthers style strategy games on the PC, Panzer Tactics DS could be for you. If Civ makes your head spin, then give it a miss.

    A decent addition to your collection, but it hasn’t evolved.

    Yes, it looks pretty, but without the competitive spirit and creativity of other party games, Party Animals gets old faster than a progeria sufferer. This one is sadly a bit of a party pooper.

    Despite such tactical bugbears, this really is a fun game to play, and the lively atmosphere will keep you coming back for more.

    A word of caution however, don’t get fooled by the kiddy visuals presented in Zack & Wiki because some of the puzzles contained within require a fair degree of lateral thinking to beat. With that in mind, older gamers seeking an enjoyable challenge should definitely pick this up.

    Sight Training has no story at all, and no context beyond the potential to improve skills useful in your everyday life. It is simply a tool – a good one. If you want to improve your vision, it’s an affordable first step.

    This last mode is particularly inspired, allowing Net-connected gamers to head online, identify the biggest game of the week, and then go about rewriting/confirming history.

    Donkey Kong was Nintendo’s original big baddie. He’s now been reduced to an inanity-grunting, tie-wearing corporate wuss, shilling lacklustre knock-offs of games his mortal adversary in Mario aced the market with. It’s time to stand up and fight! Don’t support this emasculation of a – perhaps THE - classic arcade bad dude.

    Fabby low-pressure gaming for kids or any lovers of all things bright.
