You have the atrocious commentary which is worse than ever in this game.

For now, despite the niggles and frustrations, the sum total of Mafia II's parts is greater than it should be and still equals an enjoyable romp through what you might expect old-school Mafia life to be like. How much you enjoy the game really does come down to your patience levels and how much leeway you're prepared to give.

Refreshingly, the size of the game is just enough and avoids the titanic proportions of GTA.

Your enjoyment of Deadlight is dependant purely on what you want from the game. The gameplay is a solid compliment too, it is a shame it ends so soon, but it was an experience we could enjoy before moving on to the next game.

Neon tinged retro shooter fun. Just don’t expect it to last.

Not a game without its problems: its short length, its stilted dialogue, its murky 3D graphics, its ridiculous name (seriously, what will the sequel be called?!); and yet there is an ineffable quality to the game that transcends these shortcomings.

By far the best aspect of this game, which really separates this from number 2, is the ability to play musou mode with 2 players cooperating.

Zubo is an interesting gem from EA that is neither tied to a recognizable license or a sequel of an existing game.

The visuals are lovely, though, and although they're not the most fluid the frame rate is acceptable throughout given the realtime shadows, cloud effects and three-dimensional crowd.

Packed full of limitations and issues, the sense of fun and destruction overcomes the majority of flaws on display.

Planning on spending time online? Spend some hours in Career mode and a few more on the practice court and you're on your way to greatness. Staying offline? Unless you're happy with a tragically uneven Career mode, you're better off perusing other options for the virtual tennis court.

A higher score if we didn't feel a sense of shame rubbing half naked girls to level up.

The developers should be doing as much as possible to engender the title to the player, but aren't helped by trying controls and a clearly rushed and unfinished development.

The game could be tightened up in a few places and we'd rather not have the stealth level at all, but if you're after a game that successfully marries old-school platforming with contemporary physics and interface, you could do a lot worse than NyxQuest.

The first appearance of Soul Hackers outside of Japan is a most welcome one. It may not have had the graphical update some would’ve hoped for, but the story and characters are interesting enough that it will grab you till the end.

Gamestyle seriously can't imagine anyone NOT having a good time with the game; the story is strong, scripting is well-done, characters are likable and the humour is abundant and at times very sarcastic.

Soul Nomad & The World Eaters may be a disappointment to a minority of fans, being Nippon Ichi’s most mainstream release.

If you want a truly great 3D Prince of Persia experience, however, we’d recommend tracking down a copy of The Sands of Time instead.

Another solid, if unspectacular episode in the Borderlands series.

With the return of NBA Jam comes the return of pick-up-and-play gameplay and quick, fast-paced (and exciting) basketball entertainment. However, it is also accompanied by lacklustre AI, repetitive commentary and a short lifespan.

They may have tried overly hard to create Half-Life 2 and failed, but the result is another flawed but worthwhile video game.

The graphics and overall feel of the game do not seem quite right.

While Gamestyle loves the on track handling, the pursuit of new vehicles and driving excellence, Gran Turismo 5 fails to achieve its goals or address its bad habits. Full of distractions and pretty eye candy, beneath the bonnet, the chassis is in serious need of attention.

Hit and miss humour and some ropey stabs at surrealism aren’t enough to spoil solidly crafted and frequently beguiling storytelling. Just bare in mind it won’t last long.

Get past the inherent limitations and you'll find a surprisingly good rendition of the beautiful game.

The bottom line with Command and Conquer 3 is if you're a huge strategy nut who doesn't own a decent PC then you'll absolutely love this. If you're not or are hoping for this to break you into the world of RTS' then it's best to look elsewhere for your thrills because before you know it the game will absolutely hammer you into the ground before you have time to blink.

The Dolby Digital soundtrack is somewhat disappointing, as despite having utilised many elements from the film it lacks the power and punch one could have hoped for – even the city sounds a little too quiet at times.

Ivy the Kiwi? is a worthwhile additional to your DS library, but just don't expect a classic.
