    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).
    • 79 Metascore

    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.
