It isn’t as long as some of the more established RPG titles out there, but in terms of value for money it does hit the spot. We urge you to take a chance on Black Rock Shooter.

Ultimately it’s a game that feels like some of the mechanics are a little bit too wonky to be truly great, but if you have a knack for real time strategy you’ll get a good deal of enjoyment out of it.

If you look past the tenuous link to the license and the admittedly dodgy art design, you may just find a game that is quite unlike any other, and is excellent to boot.

Sure, there are a number of gameplay problems at the core, but overall we rather enjoyed playing Outlaw Tennis.

It isn’t a game with much substance, it isn’t one that will eat all your time, but it is a fun little time waster for when you have a spare five minutes.

Whilst there’s plenty here to keep fans of F.E.A.R. happy, it’s telling that the game from which both of these titles derive is still significantly better in terms of design and playability.

WRC: World Rally Championship 2 does a bit more to become accessible to new and casual players, but in truth it is a game for real fans of the sport, those who really want a full on challenge. It isn't going to grab the DIRT crowd, but it is the best rally simulation on consoles today.

Beyond the jaw-dropping visuals there's actually a fun and entertaining piece of 'soft' ware to be held, er... had. So what if it raises a few eyebrows? It's only a game.

Backbreaker doesn't do anything wrong as such and it seems to tick all the right boxes, it just feels a little flat as a package, it will be played for a good solid period then will likely be forgotten about as newer titles come out. You'd be foolish to not even give this game look though.

Unfortunately doesn’t live up to the developer’s previous high standards that were set by Demon Gaze.

Given the quality of recognised classics of the genre such as Capcom v SNK 2 and Capcom's formidable Street Fighter Alpha Anthology disc (both of which retail for the same price) and Battle Coliseum’s bargain basement finish, there is no way this game can be considered anything other than average.

Dragonball Z: Battle of Z is a decent game, that anyone can dive into, but it is one aimed at fans first and foremost. Fans will lap it up, but there is room for the newcomer, as long as they are willing to take their time to buy into it and learn more about the Dragonball Z world.

A solid JRPG with an addictive battle system which is let down by the repetitive plot, minor technical glitches and generally being way too easy.

Overall, Unmechanical Extended is a lovely way to spend a few hours lost in a silent world taxing those brain cells with an adorable main character too.

Judged on a visual basis SOS: The Final Escape is average and rarely rises above this level, thereby becoming immediately devoid of gloss, and lost amidst countless other Playstation 2 titles.

A safe game that does a lot by the numbers, but still an enjoyable experience for anyone willing to give it the time.

It's not a better game all round than "Crimson Skies" but offers quite a challenge for the single player, with several nicely playable multiplayer scenarios thrown in.

As rewarding as it is frustrating. So just like real golf then.

Midnight Pool is a welcome purchase on the Wii Ware system, representing decent value for your Wii points.

The actual game play is practically bullet proof, as one would expect. It’s the lack of themes or even additional modes that holds back Magic Orbz from being a must have purchase.

It's quite sad when what we have here is a solid beat em up that really deserves quite a bit of attention. It's not the best fighting game on the PS2, but for the budget price which it's being released at, it's certainly worth a shot.

Competent if uninspired.

It has some niggling issues that will annoy regular gamers, but young kids will jump into the action with both feet and have a wonderful time.

A decent action adventure that fans of the series will enjoy.

Despite being a great game, it is still just a re-release, and hasn't done anything major from the originals except improve the paintwork

Visually this is the most disappointing PSP title that Gamestyle has experienced to date.

You will find yourself picking it up and having a blast if you have a spare 10 minutes and don't fancy a longer lasting game.

Steep learning curves aside, the payoff is totally worth it, in a rewarding game that really gets its hooks in.
