    FIFA Soccer 08
    Considering the resources at EA's disposal, the practised excellence of their programmers and artists, and the experience of well over a decade of development, there should be more put into the game.

    FIFA Soccer 08
    While one of the the biggest issue with the series lies decidedly with the console's controls itself, it's hard to lay all the blame on the game itself completely; but it remains difficult to recommend this over its home console versions, as ubiquitous as they are.

    Crash of the Titans
    Overall Crash of the Titans is an average title that will provide some enjoyment to younger gamers just long enough until something better comes out. And let’s be honest here, it’s not like the 360 is brimming with decent platformer titles.

    FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage
    However, it’s difficult to recommend FlatOut wholeheartedly given that the practically non-existent difficulty curve and frustrating physics might be enough to deter those in search of simple arcade crash ‘em up thrills entirely.

    Project Gotham Racing 4
    An excellent online mode (as always) is the icing on an almost perfect cake. Bizarre have even had the decency to include a brand new version of Geometry Wars, subtitled Waves, to keep people amused. With PGR4 the series may have reached its peak and it's going to be interesting to see how Bizarre Creations try and top it.

    The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
    It may not have the epic feel of its big console cousins, but the DS manages to create a Zelda experience that is truly unique.

    NBA Live 08
    It all makes for quite a competent basketball game, but ultimately there’s little to draw in anyone who doesn’t enjoy the sport in the first place, unlike EA’s brilliant Fight Night Round 3, which was one of the best early Xbox 360 titles.
    • 68 Metascore

    NBA Live 08
    If you own any other NBA game then this will just be an update, but if you don’t then this is a solid piece of work.

    Ninjabread Man
    It has no redeeming aspect except that thankfully the pain is short-lived, but then again you should heed our warning and avoid this title at all costs.

    Crayola Treasure Adventures
    Crayola Treasure Adventures to quote a famous phrase ‘does exactly what it says on the tin’ and delivers an enjoyable colouring experience through the DS touch screen.
    • 94 Metascore

    Halo 3
    Halo 3 isn't perfect, but it's so close it's unnerving. There's very little to fault with this game, and the flaws that are there are almost completely overshadowed by the overall quality and incredible amount of content and features.

    Soul Nomad & the World Eaters
    Soul Nomad & The World Eaters may be a disappointment to a minority of fans, being Nippon Ichi’s most mainstream release.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Cosmic Family
    However even the appeal of Cosmic Family will be short-lived to any demographic as it is very much on the short side. Rather than being a complete box set of a whole television series (or even a few shows) it is probably best summed up as an interactive episode.

    MySims
    Beyond building, however, the game doesn’t have much to keep your interest. There are enough tasks to keep you amused for some time, but if you find this becoming boring, there’s nothing else in the game to keep you playing.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    MySims
    The concept means that technically MySims could last forever, but realistically you’ll be bored within a couple of weeks. Not that this is a bad game per se, it's just that it has already been beaten by Animal Crossing: Wild World.

    Warriors Orochi
    As expected Warriors Orochi can only be an attractive proposition to dedicated fans of either series or even then only the most loyal of elite.
    • 53 Metascore

    Warriors Orochi
    It is not something that we can recommend experiencing, as even for fans this instalment does little to push ahead or celebrate both games.

    Skate
    Simply by moving the controls from the face-buttons to the analogue sticks – an idea so simple it’s amazing no-one though of it before – EA have created the best skateboarding title in years and in doing so have redefined the rules of the entire genre. A joy to play and a game which the inevitable sequel will have to go some way to top.

    Heavenly Sword
    Ultimately very few players will wish to repeat the experience and for such a high profile release questions have to be asked just what went wrong.

    NHL 08
    NHL 08 is one of the finest depictions of the sport so far and we're actually looking forward to what next year's iteration will offer. And it's not very often we say something like that.

    Fatal Inertia
    Underneath the average graphics, rubbish track design and lack of options there is a decent enough game fighting to get out.
    • 73 Metascore

    Drawn to Life
    Drawn to Life is a great example of a game which uses the DS very well. Being able to create the look of the main character, and the environment around him, is a great feature, but unfortunately it’s the only exceptional aspect of the game.

    Stranglehold
    If you like destruction, shooting people and a game with a brain the size of a pea then there is no doubt that Stranglehold is the game for you. It’s not smart or clever, but despite the flaws it still managed to entertain us right to it’s conclusion.

    Medal of Honor: Airborne
    Medal of Honor Airborne offers up some genuinely interesting ideas to freshen up the series and the genre as a whole. It’s just a shame that they are let down by the game’s shoddy mechanics.

    Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2
    It does lack that touch of genius that Nintendo brought to its Pokemon series, but for what the final product represents and whom it will appeal to, the match is ideal.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Warhawk
    As an action-shooter on the most basic level, there's little to fault, making for a better game of soldiers than you might expect considering the developmental angst.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Stuntman: Ignition
    There is no doubt that Stuntman: Ignition is superior to its predecessor in every way, but it still doesn't quite live up to its lofty potential.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dynasty Warriors: Gundam
    Really, the best we can say is that it's better than we expected, which isn't exactly a glowing statement, but it's proven that not all of Koei's hack-and-slash games are mind numbingly awful.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
    Ultimately, it is still Metroid Prime, with most of the strengths intact - a brilliant 3D world with impeccable design, attention to detail and amazing production values. For all the little faults you could level at it, it's one of the best games available for the Wii.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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.
