Despite an unhealthy amount of fan service this is an innovative, if inaccessible, one-on-one fighter.

As usual the new play controls add little, but this is still a good deal for such classic games.

Gaming's politest protagonist returns with another generously stocked portable puzzle compendium.

Mr Driller is a great game, but this is not a great Mr Driller game - merely an expensive introduction.

A disappointing second chapter that's short on comedy, game length and decent puzzles.

The greyification of gaming continues, but this new age Super Metroid is more fun than it looks.

The Wolfenstein series has never felt older than in this unambitious and workmanlike sequel.

Another incremental improvement that adds some welcome new features but fails to fix old ones.

All the fun of the original squeezed into an all-action and generally more enjoyable expansion.

You'll either love or loathe the rote learning and rock hard difficultly in this next gen Kikstart.

Better looking than many a retail game and with only a little more variety it could've been a 2D classic.

There's certainly plenty of rock but this climbing sim doesn't prove quite as exciting as it sounds.

More complex and yet also more accessible than ever, with an incredibly in-depth simulation of WWII.

The last of the Fallout 3 expansions is also one of the worst in this bafflingly dull abduction yarn.

The princess may have bitten off more than she can chew with her clever but confused multiplayer melees.

As a prime slice of pure gaming cheese we only hope a new sequel is imminent.

A game insensitive to both the subject matter and the need to offer any real variety or intrigue.

The DS's second serving of Bust-A-Move has little new to offer but the same old coloured bubble matching.

A disappointing series reboot, with the new graphics proving more trouble than they're worth.

Arkanoid is finally superseded as the best Breakout clone around in this enjoyable retro update.

Sony's super-stylised future racer may still be download-only but this expansion is worth every penny.

Like any good firework display this fun platformer retains its charm even after the novelty runs out.

A surprisingly high quality tie-in, which for once acts as a good introduction to gaming for youngsters.

Better than My Life As A King but the bad guys still aren't having that much fun with their tower defence.
