The GBA version of The Sands of Time is much more of a straightforward action platformer... lacks any major wow factor.

The cartoon style might not appeal to hardcore Tekken devotees, but there's certainly a lot of fun to beaten out of this one.

It is a refreshing change to play a game that makes you sit up and take notice, makes you really think about every move, and punishes you if you make a false step.

Fans of action titles are almost certainly also big fans of The Matrix, and will be disconcerted by such a pallid tie-in.

XIII's a charming game initially, but get past the visuals and you're left with a simple shooter with a maddeningly deadly aim.

Fun in the short-term and has ambition, but there's not enough innovation to get excited about, or warrant re-playing what is a lengthy franchise title.

While it might not be the true land of milk and strategic honey, Heaven & Hell is a reasonable enough entry in a fairly small pantheon.

Ultimately, it's just Risk with a bare minimum of flashy animation. Obviously it's a faster game than a board-based one to entice you into purchasing, but there are no striking new modes that utilize the console setting. A competent, convenient interpretation that doesn't do enough to banish the board game to a jumble sale.

Worth a look if you fancy some Rollercoaster Tycoon-style construction fun, with four-wheel time challenges thrown in for good measure.

If you were hoping it would upgrade the action quota... or if you expected an improvement in AI and collision detection, then stay away.

While "GoldenEye" was the videogaming equivalent of "Citizen Kane," Agent is just another dumb Hollywood blockbuster.

Driving through such locations would be a joy in itself if only you felt some sense of response from the cars. As it is, the sensation of driving goes largely unchanged with terrain.

Extraordinarily simple, and many might find the novelty wearing off faster than they'd like.

With its improved control system and animation the FIFA series is heading the right way across the pitch in terms of fluid gameplay, but even with these improvements, it still hasn't caught its greatest rival.

A short and slightly limited game....While it lasts, it's a blast.

Project: Snowblind sn't quite as blinding as some of the Xbox's FPS offerings but this game is more than capable of keeping PS2 marksmen happy.

It's far from perfect, but still a classy title.

It does get repetitive fairly quickly and once you've explored every level from pirate ship to casino, you might get a little bored.

The locations feel more spacious than the original, too, and missions are varied so drug busts move into car chases with only the slightest hint of nausea...A limited but exciting experience.

This game may be relatively simply, but it sure is varied... Comforting and predictable.

A very sweet game and, thankfully, very easy to play from the outset. While nowhere near as comprehensive as "The Sims," this is as endearing and sylish as keeping people as pets gets.

If you run and gun like an idiot, expect your men to follow you straight into an early grave...A thiking man's firefight.

Ideal for younger gamers.
