    Despite some niggling flaws with the camera and general speed of the game it does feel reasonably polished. There are some really neat effects used and the idea of having the choice to use the Vital Suits or on foot makes for some inspiring gameplay moments.

    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.
    • 84 Metascore

    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.
