In conclusion, Race Pro is a above average racing simulator that has a sturdy control system and some great car models. My only gripe with the completed game is that the background environments are unfortunately quite lacking and at times looks like a game from a few years ago.

At the end of the day, CAPCOM have created a true successor to the Street Fighter series with great anime inspired graphics and good old fashioned fighting fun that has probably not been seen in quite some time.

At the end of the day, GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned is a great addon for the series and is not just a quick money making addition to the series but rather something substantial to this franchise.

With 40 varied and diverse games, this is definitely a great collection that we could recommend to everyone and best of all, the collection is quite affordable.

The game is clichéd, entertaining and best of all a blast to play which has truly moved this franchise to the next level.

SouthEnd Interactive have put some effort into this "remake" and it supports both purists and newcomers who wish to check out a classic arcade game. The visuals are good, considering the age of this game and the gameplay still works.

The game keeps the player motivated with the different levels, items to build and wanting to get just a bit further. The difficulty level though is a little too easy for adults and the story may be a little simplistic which makes this a recommended play for the kids and for fans of the show.

At the end of the day, fans of the anime series may enjoy this title, however the fiddle some control system and camera problems unfortunately just make this a truly frustrating gaming experience and I really wanted to like this title. Quite a shame really

With improved gameplay, Skate 2 is definitely a worthy successor that contains a slick presentation, a decent control system and some very impressive graphics.

The only downside to the game is that it is quite short. Let's hope that Twisted Pixel will create a full game in the near future because the duo of Frank and Maw really works and best of all, the gameplay is fun and can be played by all sorts of gamers.

In conclusion, Rise of the Argonauts is a strong RPG title that contains a different perspective on this genre with a classic story, realistic graphics and a truly majestic sound track with a Hollywood style of voice acting.

Prince of Persia has flashes of greatness. Its production values are absolutely stunning – but the game designers need to take a long hard look at themselves.

In conclusion, Sony have released a great addition to the Singstar franchise and for those naysayers complaining about Sony's choice for ABBA, you really don't have to buy this game.

In conclusion, Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force won't win any awards for the outstanding adventure game genre, however it's refreshing to see a developer make a decent game for the younger gamer without the need for violence.

In conclusion, the developers tried to be a little too clever in terms of controls and they should have focused on just one control system, rather than attempt to cater for everyone. It feels a little rushed in this department which makes mastering the tricks a very hard experience.

Ultimate Band can still be fun. It’s not horrific to play, and the multiplayer mode can be a laugh. Yet for the cost of the game and four Wiimotes with nun chucks, one could just purchase the full band version of Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

In conclusion, Tomb Raider Underworld is what the series has been missing and although it may not the standout game of the year, it's definitely one of the better ones and it's good to see.

If you love the show and get a kick out of mini-games you might enjoy this… but at 50 bucks, you’d be wise to wait until it drops to one-fifth that price.

The game is exactly what so many fans of the zombie horror films have longed for, for so so long.

In conclusion, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is a very impressive fighting game that melds two great franchises into one.

In conclusion, Mirror's Edge is a thoroughly enjoyable title that is one of the most unique games of the year as you run and fight your way through a futuristic utopia that contains good gameplay, amazing graphics and a storyline to match.

In conclusion, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is a brilliant game on the 360 with great graphics (you really need a high definition TV to enjoy the title), decent console gameplay for a real-time strategy game and a kick ass story that features a bevy of Hollywood's greats in this "B" Grade Science Fiction experience.

Good graphics, sturdy gameplay options and a great soundtrack, this is definitely for the younger gamer, however more mature gamers will still get a blast or a blast from the past out of this.

Populous fans may want to find another platform to relive their memories.

At the end of the day, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 is still the definitive wrestling game available with THQ and developers Yukes making this franchise a fine art.

In conclusion, Ultimate Ninja Storm is a super fast fighting game that can be played by gamers of all ages, whether novice or professional.

At the end of the day, Quantum of Solace is a sturdy action game with elements of first person and third person shooters.

Resistance 2 is definitely an enjoyable first person shooter experience on the PS3 with detailed graphics, sturdy gameplay and a great storyline that is at times like the survival horror genre. Definitely a must have for fans of the original title or for those wanting a very immersing first person shooter experience.

In conclusion, Red Alert 3 is a true 21st century remake of the RTS genre that features a healthy dose of humour which may be over the top but it actually suits the genre perfectly.

Gorgeous graphics, great RPG customisation and an interesting yet fun combat system, there's little to complain about Fallout 3, except for the odd slowdown or buggy camera angle. Be warned though, once you start playing, you will find it difficult to turn off.

It's very hard not to dislike the Singstar series and considering that this has made the gaming world more accessible to a plethora of people who would have never even considered a console, is great news for the gaming world.

In conclusion, MotorStorm 2: Pacific Rift truly delivers on the original game that has improved graphics, better gameplay and new vehicles.

At the end of the day, Scene It? Box Office Smash is a decent party game that needs to played with as many people as possible as this is what makes the game truly enjoyable. Online is interesting, however not as fun as playing with someone physically next to you

If you are a fan of the series, than this is another game for you and even if you have never played it and would like to “play” something different, than we could happily recommend this strange puzzle game.

I would say that Far Cry 2 is a well put together game that will be giving players hours of gaming fun for along while.

In conclusion, this game is on the mark for the fans and will take the average gamer around 10 - 15 hours to successfully complete.

Spider-Man Web Of Shadows does all of the right things very well, while it's minor inconsistent issues hide in the back ground, but do not take too much away from the super hero experience. Only major down side? No free roaming after finishing the game.

In conclusion, SOCOM Confrontation is a decent online multiplayer game set in a realistic universe with sturdy gameplay, good graphics and some great online moments.

The gameplay is unfortunately un-inspirational as are the graphics which is a shame because the premise was there.

In conclusion, Army Men: Soldier’s of Misfortune is a considerably cheaper game than the current “blockbuster” releases on the Wii and this is definitely a kid friendly title without the gore or violence.

At the end of the day, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals is an interesting third-party Nintendo DS game that we would definitely recommend to lovers of Japanese RPG fans, due to the extensive dialogue and reminiscent gameplay to titles such as Final Fantasy and Pokémon.

The story is deep and for those Brothers In Arms fans that have followed and played the other games in the series franchise, many things are answered.

If you love strategy games, especially tactical strategy games than King's Bounty the Legend is for you.

For all of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed incredible game play, there is not a huge amount of replay value here.

It's pure fighting from the get go that gives the gamer a ton of variety.

In conclusion, Spore is definitely an exciting game in this time of repetitive ideas in an over crowded gaming market. It's not quite an RTS nor an RPG nor a strategy game but one that successfully combines all three genres into an exciting game that works quite well and is complimented with good graphics and a great premise.

Space Siege may be for those more hard core fans that know that not every addition to a series is going to be a slam dunk blast of an adventure.

Compared to the other games in the series, Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice is a step in the right direction with the mini-games and disguises that are available.

Even though there are a few mini-games in the title, these seem a little too forced and contrived and what's even more frustrating is that one wrong answer sees you at the bottom of the quiz game pit again.

In conclusion, Battlefield Bad Company is a breath of fresh for 2008 that takes the genre to the next stage and gives the gamer a truly entertaining first person shooter experience with that touch of squad based mechanics.

In conclusion, The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure is an almost dead genre on the PC, however for fans of this genre, this is definitely a worthy purchase and will keep you enthralled with it's spooky story and strange settings. The gameplay is at times dated but if you can get past, you'll have an enjoyable time.

It’s a point and click adventure / puzzle game, which is going to immediately turn off the hard-core gamer, but for puzzle game aficionados this one is sure to give you your money's worth.

In conclusion, Deal or No Deal is an interesting twist on the original TV show with the inclusion of a variety of mini-games that although are quite forced still shakes things up for the player as the game does not just become a number picking or gambling game.

Definitely one of the better casual games of 2009!

Overall A Vampyre Story is a decent game. Some may find it slow paced, some may not see the humour in the conversations, but as a call back to classic adventure games there is little else available.
