If you're after more antics with the prince and princess, then I would recommend this additional content, as a worthy addition to the game. If you're still up to your eyeballs in the original then I would say hold off until you've fully exhausted the game first.

No nonsense, to the point, no "brainer" gaming that not only looks good but works well.

If you were disappointed by the multiplayer options of the original game you should be more than satisfied with the bolstered options on offer in Earned in Blood.

I feel any true fan of the Virtua Tennis games can be happy with Sumo Digital’s work with Virtua Tennis 2009, as they have kept the perfectly solid gameplay mechanics and modes as solid as they were, but tweaked and adapted where deemed necessary.

As it stands, Turok is a good game, that should be taken at face value, because if you are expecting the next Halo or COD 4, then you might be a little disappointed.

A welcome arcade street racing title with enough bits and pieces to mess around with to keep the pimp in us all quite happy.

In closing, Ninja Blade offers a welcome slice of action gaming that is not only simple, but effective at the same time.

I say this time and time again, if you don’t own a previous version of Madden than this game will have everything you want to play football.

Those who love college basketball will be exceptionally pleased at all the pandering, and those who aren't might just gain an better understanding for the strategy of the game.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles offers up an entertaining ride around the city, with plenty to keep you busy from getting away from pursuing police to meeting and beating the competition, all in the name of taking their rides, earning money and more importantly, some respect along the way.

However the linear nature of the terrain, lack of depth for the characters and the story means that it doesn't quite get top marks. A solid and entertaining title that simply lacks overall ambition.

It's an enjoyable romp and one that's worth looking into if you've got younger gamers or are looking for a game that will keep you entertained without teasing your frustration levels.

As I’ve already mentioned, at best Frontlines will provide a game for clanners to play for months to come and at worst it’s a nice stopgap game while waiting for the next Battlefield game, Bad Company.

Attention to detail in every level makes Vanguard Games initial entry in the XBLA seem like they have been around for a long time. Gatling Gears is a blast to play alone or with a friend as you trample you way through waves of the empire's forces in a universe that seems to be expanding upon itself. Fans of dual stick shooters will be pleased with the challenge the game presents and the overall presentation. If you're itching for something different then this is a perfect addition to your game library and will provide hours of enjoyment.

The bottom line, if you’re looking to get Tetris on a console, you should grab Tetris Splash. At 10 dollars you’re getting the same kick ass core gameplay Tetris has offered for over 20 years, you’re also getting all the great online features that Live offers. I think it’s worth it even if the premium content isn’t.

Kinectimals is definitely a game recommended just to show off how clever Kinect can be with a little imagination. For older gamers and adults, there's certainly enough charm to win you over, but perhaps not enough substance to keep you glued to the TV for long periods or after the initial novelty wears off.

Lost Odyssey brings back a traditional JRPG game style with some little additions, but nothing astounding.

The Writer, is an interesting addition to the game and one that fans will no doubt lap up, however, if you're not overly bothered then waiting out for a price reduction might be more worthwhile.

If you are looking for a game which offers fast paced combat and you are of the competitive type, then The Club is most certainly well worth a look.

Fans of flight combat simulators will surely spend plenty of time doing missions and unlocking the extra aircraft but simply put, the game offers little else that stands out for the average gamer.

This is a story driven game with the emphasis on gun play rather than mindless wandering around. Red Dead certainly delivers this at every turn and is well worth a look if shooting is your thing.

Getting Up could be described as "Jet Set Radio" without the cartoon flavour and minus the roller blades but maybe that's going too far as really the only thing they have in common are the exploration element and graffiti.

In its own right this is StreetFighter, which is a cracking game for casuals and at tournament level and will continue to be so for years to come.

The relaxed nature and slow pace of the game actually works well as you don’t need things to get overly complicated and if you are unfortunate enough to get into a situation where it becomes so then with careful and perhaps ruthless actions, players can get out of bad situations.

WWE Legends of WrestleMania succeeds in its goal of being a welcome nostalgia trip down memory lane. Long-time wrestling fans will certainly appreciate reliving this experience from the earlier years of WrestleMania.

Simply put, Monkey Island 2 is one of the industry's most widely regarded titles, one that stood at the top of it's genre for years to come, and now looks set to do so for many more to follow. It's place in any self-respecting gamers' library is vital, and without doubt, incredibly as well deserved now as it ever was.

Either way though, this is a most welcomed remembrance package from SEGA and as always supporting their fans well, now all we need is some more license agreements for releasing all of those other legendary gaming accomplishments.

With its innovative online features and realistic fight system, EA's first attempt at MMA lays down a solid foundation that's worth checking out.

With its new cinematic approach to the series it has captured the essence of what Bond does in the movies very well.

The controls aren’t quite 100% satisfactory, but an incredibly brave attempt has been made and should be applauded.

Prey offers a surreal and entertaining playing experience; however I did feel that it was a one trick pony, albeit a very good trick indeed.

The best skateboarding game you can buy. A good game in its own right, and a worthy sequel for all its worth.

MotoGP definitely isn’t one of those games, I doubt it has done anything out of the ordinary, but it is a game out of my regular interest and a game that’s definitely recommended by conformists and non-conformists alike.

The animation and quirkiness of the characters is superb and brings a whole new dimension seeing them in Lego form.

The game does play much better when there are four human players using mics and who are equally disgusted by the prominent offensive language. It's in these moments that Gameplay is tight, engaging and well worth the entrance fee for an unrivalled experience this generation.

If you are looking for a wide variety of single and multiplayer game types then I would say that this game is well worth a look.

Panzer Generals: Allied Assault is an impressive little game, the battles are challenging but also rewarding.

Naturally full of suspense and will no doubt make many players jump in their seat at times or genuinely feel anxious whilst playing.

Rez is a game with tons of character due to its initially innovative sound track, and although this idea has been used elsewhere, Rez still has its own charm and uniqueness that makes Rez HD a must buy for those on the hunt for something new.

Throwback delivers a genuine Tecmo Bowl game without adding too much or taking away anything that made the game a cult classic.

A good few hours can be spent on just walking around the mansion, just checking out the character bios by logging onto the terminals. All in all great fun.

A Kingdom for Keflings provides a light but unique strategy experience that is pretty much one of a kind on XBLA.

MechAssault 2 sounds pretty damn good as far as simulating a giant robot fight.

Silent Hill: Homecoming will not disappoint in quality, whether you’re returning traditionalists or even a curious newcomer, Silent Hill: Homecoming is an honorable addition to a defining franchise.

While it may not be perfect and it may have taken a few steps backwards, the strides forward still make NBA 2K10 the best damn basketball game you’ll find on the Xbox 360 – or on any other console, for that matter.

Assassin’s Creed is receiving a fair amount of criticism, despite some of its flaws I still believe the game to be very good, it just could have done with some more refining.

Despite the driving, which I couldn't stand and the odd glitch here and there I found The Godfather to be a compelling and entertaining title. Yes it does look rather dull in places but in general has enough character and polish to keep you hooked.

Shank, combined with its well thought-out combat and artistic style is a game that certainly appeals to fans of classic side-scrollers and gory romps of gaming mayhem, and earns its worth at 1200 Microsoft points; more so if you're able to experience both modes of play.

Once you get past the uninteresting story, the rather patronisingly bad voice acting, and a few minor gameplay finicky bits that remind you that this is a game now and again, R.U.S.E. offers a revitalising outlook on the strategy formula with just a couple of new additions.

Wacky, fun, engaging and full of beans and perhaps not too dissimilar to "Amped 3" in design.

In closing, Dark Sector is a decent action shooting game that will appeal to those gamers who like a little thinking with their blasting.

If you're looking for a solid action game with an Italian flavour then Mafia II is worth the investment it's just a shame 2K Games opted to ignore all the things gamers love about open world activities hence their absence here.

If you have never played a Far Cry game before then now is the time as Far Cry Instincts Predator has a lot to offer.

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is not without its problems, and as a modern third-person shooter it appallingly lacks some gameplay elements that are considered standard in games of this type. Despite these shortcomings it still deserves to be played, largely due to its great visual style and atmosphere, easy to pick up and enjoy multiplayer modes and co-op offerings.

Filling the void in the games market and giving fans enough of everything they could possibly ask for, Def Jam Rapstar is possibly the surprise sleeper hit of the season. It won't appeal to everyone given the genre of music it represents, but for those it does appeal to, appeal to them it most certainly will.

Bakugan is a surprisingly fun and addictive and that's coming from an older gamers perspective. Whilst the anime inspired story might come across weak and typical, the game is fresh and rewarding to play due to its tactical slant and despite the fact the AI likes to cheat, but also makes its fair share of mistakes.

The story is gripping and rich in content.

The game as a whole is an entertaining race into the world of Moto GP, however marginal updates to the core gameplay may not warrant a purchase unless you're a hardcore MotoGP fan who wants another ride around the track and mop up some achievements along the way.

Sadly the popular co-op mode from "Chaos Theory" did not make its return in Double Agent, I’m sure there are reasons but I am and no doubt many other fans of "Chaos Theory’s" co-op mode will be disappointed that it did not make its return in the new game.

SST is a decent foray into the tennis genre, but rather than rely on the basic game, throws lots of diversity into the mix with its mini games and challenges.

Once you get over the initial speed of the game and focus on the more tactical element then players will have a better time. However I fear that many players will lack the patience, especially if they are used to fast paced first person shooters.

An essential purchase to any retro Contra fans, and well worth checking out for anyone else.

The game is very fast and fun.

Kung Fu Panda is a fun title with a lot to offer. It will make a perfect gift for a younger gamer in the household, while still offering adult gamers some top rate gaming experiences (even if abit short).

Despite some glitches, simplistic level design, some repetition, its brevity and perhaps music that you're not going to agree with, Afro Samurai is an enjoyable experience and well worth picking up. I would also suggest if you're unsure to rent first, although fans should rush out and buy it because the game captures everything you know and love perfectly.

The game play is solid throughout and never overly complicated. The combat is fluid and intuitive especially if you scratch beneath the surface to find a rewarding combo system in place.

All in all, a refreshing return to form for the premier moto racing title in videogames today.

I've enjoyed Prize Fighter, because for the most part I found the story mode presentation to be a welcome addition to the game.

The Bourne Conspiracy is a valiant effort for a movie tie in game and captures the flavour of the movies it is based upon very well due to its unorthodox stop start action sequences and variant gameplay.

Swarm is a unique blend of addictive gameplay and humorous antics that will hold the attention of gamers willing to shell out the cash to download the game.

I found Snowblind to be an engaging and highly entertaining title, and as a fan of "Deus Ex" was pleasantly surprised at how they incorporated the features into this simplified spin off version of the game.

There is no doubt that whilst it lasts, Black is a very cinematic, fun and immersive playing experience; however its length and lack of multiplayer might ultimately be its demise because most gamers could probably get the most from the game within a rental period.

I would perhaps describe FEAR as "Condemned" on steroids perhaps.

However, even with this rather cumbersome fault, the Secret Armory of General Knoxx is one of the best add-ons we’ll see this year for Borderlands or any other game, making it well worth the price of admission.

A long game in that there are plenty of dungeons to fight through and the fact [is] that it’s not easy if you don’t continually add credits.

Track and Field is a title you really can’t go wrong with and is well worth the MS points.

Viking: Battle for Asgard is a very enjoyable game; it features a very accessible control scheme, graphically rich environments, highly intense battles and an immersive atmosphere.

The core gameplay is still the same, but Mars' theme is unique enough that it warrants a place in your arcade and pinball collection.

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is another excellent spin on a fantastic movie world, that does justice to both its source material and the standard of Lego games preceding it. With great visuals and scenery bringing such life to a rich, crazy world of ships, pirates, damsels in distress and turbulent seafaring life, it's hard not to fall in love once more with the cute charm, unique character and addictive gameplay that Lego Pirates has in strides.

If you are a fan of Clive Barker's works, or in fact a horror fan, then Jericho should be a priority for you.

The game isn't a straight up shooter, which is a good thing, and if you've got the patience to test the stealth mechanics properly, you'll find some rewarding moments.

Section 8 Prejudice brings to the table a unique shooter, with an MMO shooter feel. Players that are looking for something a little slower paced than a twitch shooter, something that requires teamwork to succeed should enlist when the game releases on the 20th April.

If you like strategy games and playing god, then I can fully recommend this game as it offers hours of strategic entertainment. However, for those of you with less patience, then I will say that there's quite a steep learning curve compared to more accessible games.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 seems to follow on nicely from its predecessor but despite some new mechanics like the off-roading, feels essentially like the same game.

If you love shooters, then Bulletstorm offers up a refreshing change that is worth the look-in, though it lacks the staying power in comparison to other heavily multiplayer oriented titles.

For fans of the anime, this is a must have game, and to be fair, the new RPG approach might appeal more as a fitting change making the game stand out against its predecessors.

Tomb Raider: Underworld is a concise, consuming and meritorious addition to the franchise, which is well worth playing for fans of adventure, puzzle solving and action (despite a lack of cohesiveness in the action department).

With all of that said (and for 800 Microsoft points), Mega Man 10 is still a fantastic download for three demographics: those who are hardcore Mega Man fans, those who have never played Mega Man at all, and those who are face-punching masochists.

Magna Carta 2 isn't the best role playing game ever, but is certainly a great effort and one that is captivating for the right reasons.

Dance Central is a great entry into new realms for Harmonix and those who have picked up Kinect.

BSP is a worthy WWII game, and although the period is perhaps more worn than most, still feels like there's a lot of fresh ideas to be had here.

Overall, this is a massive leap from previous years.

The addition of the new card collecting system is fresh and inspirational; however it is also frustrating with a steep learning curve that really needs a better introduction to persuade the FIFA elite to get involved.

The Defiant Map Pack at 800MSP is worth adding to your download queue, though its value ultimately comes down to the type of player. If you're pro multiplayer only, and scoff at the mere mention of switching proceedings to Firefight, then the Defiant Map Pack is no doubt a hard sell for two maps, even as well crafted as they certainly are. If you enjoy both modes of play, then you're certain to get plenty of time well spent for your points on the Defiant Map Pack.

If you are looking for a slice of fighting game history then you won't find a better package than this one.

They have certainly spent a lot of time tweaking the gameplay mechanics to create something more entertaining and more importantly, fair online, however there are still some minor quibbles that will displease.

My only real complaint is that they took out a lot of the tension in the game. I guess making it more accessible to the casual gamers that lack patience.

If you are one of those players that are looking for the innovative game of tomorrow, then I think this is probably the worst game you could purchase. Singularity is not about renovating the FPS genre, but more reinstating it with some well known mechanics and a common setting.
