Despite each stage lasting only sixty seconds, it takes hours for Minutes to blossom.

Stealth Inc 2 can be a really challenging and frustrating experience but it is still a good game that just needed another pass to iron out some of the kinks.

There's no incentive to save the Leopold and her crew from destruction, and playing through the game feels more like a chore than a challenge. It's a valiant attempt at reinvigorating an old franchise, but one that ultimately fails to make an impact.

Like many zombie flicks in history, this is for a cult audience only. It's a genuine shame but it just isn't very good.

Overall, Close Combat: First To Fight doesn't have the looks or the sound, but what it does have is the fun-factor.

JASF is a fine concept that could have been a winner, however it is let down by some questionable design choices and a lack of excitement that flying a jet fighters should give. It isn't a game that should be bypassed completely, but one left for rental or the bargain bins.

For all its limitations and tongue in cheek presentation, the actual quiz itself is fun, challenging and varied enough to warrant a place on your Wii Channel Home Page.

Atomic Ninjas is a completely average game and that is meant with the greatest respect. It is a mid-tier game, that will never be a long term favourite, but there is room for that, it is a game you are happy to pick up, play for a couple of weeks then move on.

Unfortunately, due to the irritating camera, steep learning curve and lengthy missions, Gamestyle can only recommend Heroes to the most avid of strategy enthusiasts.

Crashes, glitches, bugs and constant below-par combat manage to undermine the gorgeous art style.

Black Eyed Peas: The Experience has a decent engine, looks stunning and plays really well, it is however limited by being for a single band and one, that despite being so popular just doesn't have the catalogue to appeal to anyone but the biggest fans.

The frame rate is solid enough, as is the draw distance, however the water effects leave a lot to be desired when compared to the excellent lighting.

Boogie on the DS is a vast improvement on the Wii version. The game has more of a purpose, and actually requires some skill to play.

The failure to pen an emotional and captivating storyline, alongside some bizarre character designs, have alienated what made Shadow Hearts such a joy to play.

A competent game which has little wrong with it, but just won’t leave an impression.

While it can be enjoyable at first, and certainly has some impressive graphics, it soon begins to reveal itself to be little more than an average title which only improves when played with other people.

We really do believe it’s a step in the right direction for the much-maligned franchise, and contains a lot of elements that feel like real ‘Sonic’ moments. However, it proves to be as frustrating as it is fun, with several flaws that interfere with one’s enjoyment of the game.

It tries to be Mario platforming crossed with all the goodness of lemmings but really it ends up showing only glimpses of the brilliance of each.

If you are a fan of difficult shoot 'em ups from a bygone era of gaming then Gundemonium Recollection will keep you occupied for sometime. For most players however this is a challenge too far and lacks enough variety to warrant any long term playing.

One of the weaker platformers for the Wii U where sadly a beautiful game can’t hide the rather poor level design.

The PES brand is currently sinking into shark infested waters and it seems that no matter how loud people shout the problems that have plagued the series since the beginning still aren't being addressed.

007 Bloodstone is a solid entry in the world of James Bond assisted by strong production standards and acting talent. The actual gaming aspect lets the overall piece down somewhat. As a stopgap to the next Bond film it'll do as a pit stop but the only aspect you'll return to for a while is the multiplayer mode.

What MadWorld has in style it lacks in substance.

Doesn't know whether to call itself an adventure or something much deeper - underpinned with the trimmings of a simulation. This personality 'conflict' has resulted in a game that fails to match the auspicious concept.

Fans of the genre will lap up the space age conflict, yet some people may be left wanting more.

The mixture of Mario Kart racing and Little Big Planet's customisation should be a recipe for hours of fun. Unfortunately, the long loading times leave a bitter taste.

The words 'a mixed bag' tell you everything you need to know about Midway Arcade Treasures 2. For every classic like "Mortal Kombat" there's a travesty like "Pit Fighter" - so this one can only be recommended for the purists.

It definitely has an "Atari-esque" feel about it. But, unfortunately the rest of the game just isn’t up to scratch.
