    Defenders of Ardania
    In conclusion, Defenders had the basis for a good game. The developers have tried something different, but it hasn't worked this time. The gameplay just comes across as uneven. Certain units should be strong against some towers and weak against others and vice versa, instead of every unit bar one being weak against everything. Unfortunately, this game simply comes across as a chore to play, rather than a joy.

    50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition
    It's impossible to understand how the developers came so close to making a good game and then failed so thoroughly.

    Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home
    Try hitting your head against a brick wall for about half an hour instead.

    Risen 3: Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition
    Lovely visuals cannot save Risen 3 from falling way short in the overall quality stakes.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    Gamestyle is sure that die-hard, DS owning Potter fans will buy this game, and maybe even enjoy it a tiny bit, regardless of what we say here. For the rest of us though, this is one to steer clear of. Repetitive, tedious wandering and only marginally entertaining mini-games do not a proper game make.

    Eragon
    An utterly pointless game.

    Disney*Pixar WALL-E
    Ultimately WALL-E the film deserves better than this licensed release, which has been formed using an off the shelf formula.

    Tehra Dark Warrior
    Tehra Dark Warrior is ideally packaged for the handheld market and a solid option for PSP Mini enthusiasts. The game play is easily recognisable and three difficulty modes with an added gore option means it caters for players of all ages.

    Brooktown High
    The whole concept of Brooktown High is appealing, but what the developer Backbone Entertainment has done is given us the most boring and lifeless look at high school life imaginable.

    Bubble Bobble Double Shot
    If you really must have a Taito classic on your DS then go for New Zealand Story Revolution instead.

    Galerians: Ash
    While the story is complicated and filled with reprehensible creatures and people, it loses something in the retelling.

    Starlight Inception
    A good game is in there somewhere, but held back by an overly ambitious ideal.

    B-Boy
    Even without the long loading times the gameplay is poor - how many games can you name with a control system much too complicated but with almost no depth?

    Two Worlds
    With the Xbox 360 laying host to several epic Japanese RPG’s of late and the soon to be released Mass Effect. Two Worlds warrants little attention and deservedly so. Amidst the range of options, classes and menus, lurks a promising storyline but while the PC market would have lapped up this five years ago, it deserves to be cast into another dimension.

    Family Guy
    The humour does little more than raise the game's entertainment value from below average to average.

    xXx
    A shoddy piece of license work with flashes of potential (which the film has in bundles) but too much is gaming by numbers, and overall it leaves you cold.

    SWAT: Target Liberty
    Target Liberty is a game so clunky, dated and downright unlovable that between its miserable graphics, woeful presentation and tedious gameplay it feels more like a late-90s budget PC release than a premium PSP game with a price-tag to match, and playing it is as pointless and unrewarding an enterprise as you're likely to get for £30.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus
    A device for mental torture. And even the most diehard fans of the series would have to be truly blinkered to believe that this game was worthy of the licence. Put simply, it's nothing but a travesty.

    Shadow the Hedgehog
    Considering the series' rich history, no gamer should be forced to have such mediocrity tarnishing their childhood memories.

    Digimon All-Star Rumble
    A fine game for younger audiences that can be enjoyed by parents too.

    Blue Estate
    A solid on-rails shooter that if great fun for the short time you will spend with it.

    Super Rub a Dub
    It is just unfortunate that SCEE have not built upon a unique puzzle opportunity, instead content to ship out something that will long term only appeal to the youngest of players.

    Angry Birds Star Wars
    Angry Birds Star Wars isn’t the greatest of games, it is a tried and tested formula that offers little new and is cashing in on both its own success and the success of one of the biggest movie franchises in the world. It does however do what it does as well as it does. If you enjoy the franchise as a whole, then you’ll get plenty of mileage out of this version, but it is one for fans of the series only.

    Castlevania Judgment
    It tries to make the most of a stupid idea, and compared to previous efforts at a 3D Castlevania game it’s quite a triumph.

    Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
    Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem is what we like to describe as a mild diversion. Certainly not worth your hard earned pennies it’s nevertheless a fairly competent movie tie-in that will entertain for about half an hour.

    Terminator Salvation
    Simply put there just isn’t enough game here to justify paying full price.

    Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit
    For all the fun the game offers, and it is fun, it is brutally short... Admittedly there are a plethora of options to "unlock", but the game itself is all too brief. There is no versus mode either, something that would have added greatly to the replay value.

    Aliens: Colonial Marines
    As a fan of the series, the game was horrible to play, and this review was heart-breaking to write. For purely sentimental reasons, this was one of the games that fans would have been desperate to see succeed. Somewhere along the line, we were all let down. What makes it worse are the occasional flashes of a good game that flash through.

    Alien Syndrome
    Alien Syndrome is another entry in the catalogue of Wii games that fail to grasp the potential of the system. Simply tacking on a few new controls in a title that could easily have been created twenty years ago is not a winning formula.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    With a tight release schedule, developing a game based on a movie will inevitably involve a degree of compromise, but creating a game that feels unfinished and distinctly rushed isn't acceptable.
