An inoffensive 2D platformer with some novel ideas - but fairly vapid and overly expensive.

The perfect Sam & Max episode is still yet to be made, but in terms of puzzles this one is hard to beat.

Mercilessly difficult, and unusually complicated, but the best looking and most varied BIT. TRIP yet.

A clever use of head tracking tech is sabotaged by a game that seems specifically designed to subvert it.

It can never have the impact of the first game but this is still a worthy, incremental improvement.

One of the best looking games ever, but its awe for retro Zelda ruins hopes for similarly inspired gameplay.

It looks amazing but baffling design decisions suck every ounce of fun out of this disappointing sequel.

One of the best Ace Attorney games still looks awful on the Wii, in another lazy and irreverent port.

Putting looks before substance doesn't seem so bad in this superbly surreal first person fighter.

Only the smallest of improvements on the original game and still a shameful waste of the license.

Picross makes the jump to 3D better than many games, although it's still not quite the perfect puzzler.

A fun and imaginative homage to Dungeon Keeper that's gone from impossibly to merely incredibly hard.

The only asses that need kicking in this game are those of the developer responsible for such rubbish.

Possibly the world's least anticipated sequel, but a surprisingly enjoyable brain dead romp all the same.

A bizarre mix of influences and a great script still can't save this inventive but flawed role-player.

The best fighter ever gets even better with a huge roster of some of gaming's most iconic characters.

Something close to a minimal effort, but with FIFA 10 powering the action it's still hard to resist.

Frustratingly beautiful graphic adventure that's sadly ruined by poor voiceovers and fuzzy logic.

There are flashes of brilliance, but this graphic adventure lacks some very elementary features.

The landmark script and puzzles override the bland artwork as the classic graphic adventure returns.

The graphics may have improved but this is still the same old After Burner - for better and worse.

The latest and ugliest Puzzle Quest spin-off is still addictive, but its gimmicks are getting very old.

More accessible and finally sporting an online mode, but the clumsy combat still limits the hunt's appeal.

A perfect recreation of an arcade classic (plus Magic Sword) and the new gold standard for retro gaming.

A solid if predictable start to the new season, but still one of Telltale's better graphic adventures.

A necessary reboot that fights accusations of dumbing down with an artful mix of stealth and violence.

A great value aerial Mario Kart that flies rings round many other racers that cost ten times the price.

Another largely pointless download that fails to capitalise on any of Mass Effect 2's achievements.
