In the end Naughty Bear just isn't very durable, and after a few hours of play starts to resemble the rather forlorn, moth-eaten teddy bear you abandoned in your youth.

All in all, Transformers: War for Cybertron is a good, fun game.

It is a game you will happily complete the missions on, get some decent time attack scores and see how long you can last in Survival, then move on to the next game.

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.

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.

On the whole though Joe Danger is still popcorn entertainment at its finest.

Green Day: Rock Band will not bridge generational gaps or introduce many new fans, but it goes without saying that if you like Green Day and you like Rock Band, this is a no-brainer.

Whether or not Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is an essential purchase depends on your own point of view. The thought of starting again for many regulars will prove too much, as will the additional cost. The extra features and game changes are beneficial and potentially the Playstation Move support will be a convincing reason.

The odd thing about Snoopy Flying Ace is that it isn't perfect, yet it is very hard to pinpoint anything that is actually wrong with it.

With unique glitches evident Pure Football is an interpretation of the sport similar to Super Mario Strikers with its emphasis on pick up and play.

The single player is where Blur starts to show it faults. While the constant progression via the fans is good, after the first few sets of events the game difficulty ramps up and soon enough we found ourselves coming up against a brick wall.

UFC Undisputed has raised the bar in the cage itself but has really let itself down with a career mode that offers very little.

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.

This is a rare occasion when the hype can actually be justified; Super Mario Galaxy 2 is, quite simply, a masterpiece.

Alan Wake himself is a cold, moody and clinical character, so much so that Gamestyle felt no affinity with his onscreen presence. We however, warmed to the actual gaming experience, but still left short changed and disappointed, especially after such a long gestation period.

Red Dead Redemption is a strong entry in the sandbox genre and a promising opening chapter from Rockstar San Diego.

Split/Second is at its core an amazing and visceral experience and the true successor to the Burnout series, even more so than Criterion's own Burnout Paradise.

Skate 3 from the outside looks like a bog standard yearly update effort and with the lack of Create-A-Spot from the previous game, it is easy to see why. However get into the game, jump online, grab some friends and get ready to be treated to one of the most fun and relaxing experiences console gaming has to offer.

3D Dot Game Heroes is a wonderfully presented game, with a clever concept that is well-executed throughout.

Whether it deserves the hefty price tag is certainly questionable, but if you feel that FIFA 10 doesn’t satisfy your World Cup cravings, you you’ll be more than happy with the offerings available through 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

A solid framework for the future of online gameplay on the Wii and the strong multiplayer sessions are the only reason this game is getting an above-average score from us; if you’re not a fan of the series or can’t play online, deduct three or four points from our score and stay away.

Overall Splinter Cell: Conviction is a let down for long time fans of the series, but as a game in its own right it is worthy of your attention.

Compared to other beat ‘em ups it lacks polish and epic sized modes but SNK Playmore has reanimated this series to good effect with a solid combat system.

The battles are entertaining, and the ship customisation is excellent. It's marred by monotonous journeys back and forth between planets with little character, and speaking to the same people over and over and over again.

Overall Metro 2033 is a game that should be played. It is atmospheric, gripping and arguably one of the better stories told in a game.

The game is probably the most balanced of the three, but excitement wise it never quite reaches the heights of it's predecessors.

Despite some cumbersome game mechanics, particularly the shoddy combat, Fragile Dreams is an interesting, emotional experience.

It would be all too easy to grumble at the series for the supposed lack of innovation since its inception all those years ago. However, this game is a textbook example of why people keep coming back to it; it’s fun, addictive and a resounding social experience to be shared in any way possible.
