Not the greatest, or best value for money, version of the game but a surprisingly decent port that still has all the same undead charm.

The weakest Lego game so far suffers from both a lack of variety and a movie license that fails to build on previous successes.

Borrowing so obviously, from so many classic games, was always a risk but this stylish platformer pulls off its theft with some élan.

An almost blasphemous waste of the thunder god's potential, in this predictably cheap and cheerless movie tie-in.

A superb action puzzle hybrid that works much better on the Xbox 360 than it did on the DS, making it one of Treasure's best ever games.

Neither rip-off nor bargain, but Treyarch and Activision are clearly playing things safe - despite the excesses of Call Of The Dead.

For a brand new Nintendo franchise this is short not just on content, but also compelling gameplay and a sense of fun.

It might be a 'proper' game this time, but this lacklustre Spore spin-off hasn't got anything like the same sense of fun or ambition.

Top Spin 4 wins this year's tennis trophy but this more arcade style alternative is still a valid alternative with some great gimmicks.

It doesn't lack for ambition, but in terms of finesse, innovation and execution this remains a poor advert for HD style shooters on the Wii.

Still one of the series' most influential and enduring entries, but this latest repackaging offers very little that is new to celebrate it.

Not as perfectly formed as the original, but close enough - with some of the best story-telling and voiceover work in all gaming.

A remake more than a reinvention, but one that retains all the simple gameplay and outrageous gore that made the original games fun.

Offensive both in terms of language and diluted potential, although saved to a degree by its strong team-based action.

Despite the return of Zipper this repeats all the same mistakes of the last game and seems even more old-fashioned and generic as a result.

Superb mix of role-playing, puzzle and strategy action, with gorgeous new HD graphics and an addictive online mode.

A poor man's Panzer Dragoon is still a relatively rich meal for anyone, even if this has little real connection to the original.

An improvement over the Wii version, but this still seems like the bare minimum that could be done with a Michael Jackson music game.

A low tech portable monstrosity that manages to make the worst of both the DS's abilities and the Duke's legacy.

Micro Machines meets Geometry Wars, but so phenomenally less interesting than that sounds it's almost painful.

The once inspired mix of rhythm action and real-time strategy becomes further diluted by obscure rules and needlessly high difficulty.

Still virtually the same game as released on the PlayStation 2 in 2000, with only the most minor changes to the hatefully shallow gameplay.

The only Monster Hunter clone to try and break the mould, but it still suffers from all the old problems of repetition and poor controls.

Appallingly uninteresting platformer whose bland visuals are almost as dull as its uninspired level designs.

Absolutely not a next generation Strider, but it is an unusual and fun co-operative platformer if you have the friends to hand.

Few PSP games look as good, but this is still a hugely disappointing return for Parasite Eve and the ruination of a once intriguing heroine.

A good value compilation and three of the best Tomb Raiders ever - even if none of them quite deserve classification as a classic.

A surprisingly daring mix of interactive narrative, role-playing game and life simulator - and nothing like the lazy cash-in you'd expect.
