Yet another entirely inessential special edition of one of the best video games ever made.

Not a bad attempt at bringing Resistance to the PSP, but the end result feels shallow and repetitive.

Probably the best Harvest Moon game ever with a successfully odd mix of farming and dungeon crawling.

EA's latest DS game is half platformer, half puzzle game, all fun (well, three quarters at least).

Konami's role-player is a frustratingly uneven mix of great graphics, dull combat and fun questing.

A startlingly well realised iteration of GTA that even does some things better than the home consoles.

Konami's reinvention of the footy sim still impresses a year later, even if this is largely the same game.

An unexpected, but largely successful, change of pace as Norse melodrama meets strategic role-playing.

Someone finally finds something interesting to do with Pong, with this excellent retro homage.

An unsatisfying facsimile of Resident Evil 4 with none of the style or excitement, just more bugbears.

Not only a poorly disguised mobile game but one of the shallowest Tower Defence strategy games ever.

A hugely entertaining, if slightly uneven, roller coaster ride of gorgeously stylised ultra violence.

There are some great ideas at work here, but the game can't quite bind them into a successful whole.

Charmingly old-school puzzle-solving with some interesting gimmicks and cute characters/corporate mascots.

Viewing this simply as a re-release it's still a hugely enjoyable game, overshadowed only by its own sequel - with its longer, more complex missions, no time limit and multiplayer modes. Since it's getting the New Play Control treatment too it makes this a little harder to recommend... but not much.

Nintendo hobble their excellent old GameCube sports game with dreadful new motion controls.

More restatement than rebirth, this Gradius greatest hits collection has little new to offer.

It certainly looks and sounds the part but this downloadable game is just as shallow as most retail tie-ins.

Halo's attempt to re-imagine real-time strategy for consoles is simplistic and surprisingly drab.

An almost total success and one of the best ever strategy games, with amazing scope and accessibility.

A flight simulation so shallow you barely need to hold the joypad to become a top gun.

The graphical downgrade has certainly been handled with less grace and the new controls are more twitchy and unpredictable than the old ones.

Sonic speeds ever further away from his roots and into one of his most ineptly-designed games so far.

It's barely any different from its predecessor but it's still the best skiing sim on any console.

The Phantasy Star Online legacy still goes unfulfilled, as the portable version treads water.

One of the best looking games ever, but also one of the least ambitious in terms of anything else.

You'll be laughing at, not with, this parody - which perpetuates every cliche it sets out to mock.

50 Cent's second game is an enjoyable slice of dumb fun that has plenty to teach more serious shooters.
