    While it doesn't bring any major innovation to the franchise, Guitar Hero 3 is a solid successor and an excellent first outing of the franchise by Neversoft.

    With more than a dozen levels in the campaign, about a hundred optional challenges, numerous collectibles and rewards to unlock you definitely get your money's worth here.

    The single player mode felt short, far too easy and not as predominantly based on the stealth aspects that I’d come to love from the series.

    Dawn of War 2 is a brand new, well-made experience that's worth more than a look.

    One of Red Faction: Guerrilla's biggest strengths is that it's simply a lot of fun to play. Smart design decisions such as the minimal impact of death (which will happen) are of great benefit in achieving this goal.

    If you're a fan of shooters, you won't be disappointed with Crysis 2. The lengthy campaign is enjoyable from beginning to end, and the online multiplayer is a unique experience thanks to the nanosuit. Mix in some extraordinary graphics, an outstanding soundtrack, and plenty of replay value, and you've got one of the best shooters of the year, so far.

    You really have to either hate point and click games with the burning passion of a thousand suns or not like dealing with downloadable games to dislike this title.

    If all you’re looking for is more of the same, then Call of Duty: World at War is certainly a worthy addition to the franchise.

    Frankly if you're a fighting game fan you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing this excellent title.

    The game is simply unadulterated fun. Through its fantastic storytelling, charming visuals, catchy music, and brilliant melding of classic conventions with new ideas, Super Paper Mario is a game that plays like a dream.

    So long as you only play the game in small bursts, Far Cry 2 is an interesting experience.

    It’s a really fun game to play, with good characters, controls, locations, and objectives, and is truly an evolution of the series.

    There isn’t too much here that we haven’t seen before but the experience itself is worth exploring. It’s when the whole picture starts to come together that some of the seams begin to show. But if you persevere then you will be rewarded by a great story with rich characters and fun gameplay.

    It may not be as revolutionary as "Donkey Kong Country" was for the SNES (which completely redefined what people thought supposedly outdated hardware was capable of), but this game is a great starting point to prove the nay-sayers of the PSP wrong.

    If you really liked the first game, well then there's no doubt that you're going to like this add-on, and I'd recommend it wholeheartedly.

    When this game is running properly, without falling through the ground, NPC dialogue not triggering properly or enemies running through the floor, then it's a very fun journey.

    Children will get a kick out of the pinãtas cartoon antics, while the more mature gamer will enjoy the complete freedom to design and explore as they feel fit. Highly recommended.

    The enthusiast shall probably enjoy the 60’s twist, but others should look past, as there are too many others in the genre to pass by in order to reach out for GT Legends.

    I personally found Resident Evil 5 to be a great addition to a beloved franchise that has been going on for nearly fifteen years, even if it doesn’t represent the series’ finest hour.

    However, given the choice, the sheer fun factor, in depth career mode, excellent online support (that requires a fee if purchased used), and stellar presentation make this the penultimate MMA video game experience, and a must have for any UFC or fighting game aficionados out there.

    Easily the greatest basketball game ever made. It will please NBA fans infinitely and it will make non-fans appreciate the sport even more.

    An excellent racer, and a must for any fan of any form of racing. It replaces and raises the bar in all categories, mixing a huge amount of quantity in styles, cars, and tracks, with a truckload of quality.

    While the GHTunes music creator is still entirely uninteresting the rest of the package is of such high quality that it’s easy to recommend.

    The game is action-packed, looks good, and can cater to the hardcore players out there.
