EA have saved the worst for (second to) last in this laughably poor third person shooter that fails as both a tie-in and a game.

Its goals and improvements may be more modest than the last game but this is still an enjoyable return trip to Italy - especially in the company of friends.

The road to Sonic's redemption is a long one, but this is a much surer step towards it than any other game in the last 15+ years.

Almost everyone does it better than this bland, unambitious shooter that manages to squander all of the developer's usual talents.

The underlying technology and use of Kinect is impressive, it's just that the package as a whole seems a little undercooked.

The concept is clearly not going to appeal to anyone with an age in double digits but the game makes much better and more varied use of Kinect than almost any other title so far released.

Once the novelty has worn off - which will only take a couple of goes with lesser games like 20,000 Leaks - you'll never want to play any of them again.

It's not a new idea, the feature set is thin and the presentation is mediocre. But it's still the best dance game - and the best Kinect game - so far.

Just as shallow and unoriginal as you'd expect, and with some fairly obvious technical issues. But it still offers hope for the future of Kinect.

It was probably foolhardy to ever try to bring The Sims 3 to consoles and despite a spirited attempt this is just a shadow of the PC version.

Every year this moribund franchise goes without a complete overhaul the more obvious and unacceptable its half-decade old problems become.

The whole package absolutely shames most other downloadable expansions (including the earlier Red Dead ones) and as silly and shallow as it all is it's just as unmissable as the main game itself.

Ask not what Rock Band 3 can do for you, but whether you have the commitment (and a large enough wallet) to make the most out of it.

It's only a slightly better game than last time but that's almost irrelevant given the impossible range and complexity of virtual objects at your command.

An aggravatingly poor sequel that insists on changing things that didn't need changing and refusing to fix those that did.

Even for those that would never normally dream of playing a basketball sim this is a great game, although it's best played in small doses.

The best new music title for years and a significant improvement on the first game, with almost every complaint from the original addressed.

Considerably worse than the thoroughly unremarkable original, this is a horror game but not quite in the way it was intended.

The plot may have gone off the deep end but thankfully the puzzles remain perfectly logical in what is Layton's biggest and arguably best adventure yet.

Another charmingly scripted adventure with bright cheery graphics, a loveable cast and… tedious combat and frustrating exploration.

Indie gaming at its retro-loving best, with some of the most cunningly-designed and purposefully infuriating 2D gameplay of the year.

It needed a lot more fine tuning to work properly on the Wii, but almost by default this still becomes one of the best racers on Nintendo's home console.

Some minor improvements to the formula, but the dull combat remains an unresolved problem in this lighting fast sequel.

Game starved rally fans will welcome it all the same but this low tech racing sim has a bit too much room for improvement.

Not only the worst PlayStation Move game but probably the worst motion-controlled title ever. Riding through traffic on a real chair would be more entertaining.

There are a few points of interest here but the greatest accomplishment of this lacklustre role-player is making Dragon Quest IX seem even better by comparison.

An unremarkable and derivative first person shooter that uses the cover of controversy to hide a game severely lacking in courage and ambition.

It looks the part, but this 18-rated Final Fight suffers from a repellent script and the usual descent into monotonous, skill-less button-bashing.
