It's got its share of flaws but this is another absorbingly original puzzler for WiiWare.

This generation's best arcade racer in an extra value compendium that really is a slice of driving heaven.

The best Tenchu for years, even if it does still leave too many frustrating relics from the past.

Beautiful to look at, and with some great puzzles, but the bland writing is even worse than Hotel Dusk.

R-Type journeys into the third dimensions but a lack of control and high entry fee spoils the trip.

Another overly simplistic WiiWare puzzler, that benefits hardly at all from being a video game.

A relatively ambitious WiiWare game, but whose many options never provide any truly riotous fun.

Low budget, low effort port of what is otherwise one of the PS2's more unfairly forgotten action games.

It looks and sounds the part but this anime tie-in should've worried about more than just presentation.

Another disappointing slice of downloadable content, with little of what made the main game great.

Ultimately this is a very different game to the offline versions but on its own terms almost as entertaining.

A hugely original and beautifully presented shooter sadly in search of proper difficulty curve.

The very obvious problem with using The Sims template on animals is that they don't do very much all day expect eat, sleep and procreate.

The problem is there's very little extra of any importance and much of what there is doesn't work that well.

It's no classic, but this is still better value, and in some cases better quality, than shop-bought games.

To add to its problems the game is also surprisingly ugly, often looking much more like an original Xbox game.

One of the best looking DS games ever made, but the gameplay just dosen't live up to the visuals.

It doesn't do anything new, it doesn't fix any old problems and it's not very substantial. There are a lot of better ways to spend £6.80 on Xbox Live.

The reason the PC version works better is simply down to the keyboard and mouse controls, which allow for much faster and responsive movement.

What once was a dumb-but-fun alternative to GTA is reduced to a broken technical mess on the PC.

Horribly unrefined historical romp whose few positive features are outweighed by dull, glitchy questing.

The Japanese role-player grows up, with a fantastic mix of traditional gameplay and daring plot.

The Destroy All Humans! franchise goes out with a whimper not a bang in this disgracefully poor sequel.

The classic 1995 role-player is finally released in Europe and it's almost sad how fresh it still feels.

It's got more in common with Advance Wars, but this is still a great strategy game – real-time or not.

Turning Castlevania into a one-on-one fighter is a dumb idea but at least this tries to be different.

SNK fail to provide any real justification for continuing the 2D shooter series or for moving to the DS.

Even committed fans are likely to be disappointed by this lazy and largely unnecessary rehash.
