    Alone in the Dark is a good game, which falls short of being great based on the severe lack of polish.

    A welcome relief to play after having a manic session of Ghost Recon; where I can just sit back, relax and play a few games without having to worry about being shot in the back.

    Puzzle Chronicles tries its hardest to be just like its big brother Puzzle Quest, but it's hard to live up to such lofty goals. The core gameplay is fun, challenging, and easy to pick up, but it lacks the addictive quality that other puzzlers posses.

    However, the game really does feel like a one trick horse and perhaps relies too heavily on the dismemberment and beheadings rather than more inventive gameplay.

    There simply is not enough "Meat" here to cater for older gamers who undoubtedly will breeze through with their eyes half shut, whilst eating, smoking and watching another TV at the same time.

    Tecmo's effort here in Quantum Theory is certainly interesting. While it doesn't meet the high bar set by many other competitors in the genre, it's certainly at least in the pile of good third person shooters, just near the bottom somewhere of that stack marked 'average'.

    The release of this game might be proof that Dragon Ball Z is still relevant to some gamers and that Dragon Ball Z can indeed translate to being a game, but alienating audiences with inaccessible controls and content is highly irrelevant and quite unacceptable for today's standards.

    As a whole Two Worlds II is a definite step up from Two Worlds in almost every regard, and it especially shines through with its in-depth and thought out quest lines. Two Worlds II isn't however a match to the bigger western RPGs out there, e.g. The Elder Scrolls series. This is let down by the overly convoluting interface and control system that makes the gameplay feel like a generation behind.

    It’s easy to see that March Madness 2007 is not the best college basketball game on the market. It’s not even close.

    As movie tie in games go, Iron Man sits neatly on the pile and follows the formula of being decidedly average at best.

    Rent first and see how you go with this one, especially if you are a lone gamer.

    It looks nice, it plays nicely and it's short BUT it is a budget title and at £20 it is a steal.

    FIFA Street 3 is a fun game in small doses simply because it is lacking in true depth.

    Saw II: Flesh & Blood delivers more of the same from the 2009 original, and improves on very little.
    • 69 Metascore

    Quake Arena isn't going to pull the masses away from other FPS games like Halo: Reach or Call of Duty Black Ops, but it is a nice change of pace to just jump into an arcade game where you know you're going to kill and be killed.

    The movie tie-in rightfully so typically receives a lot of flack, although Megamind's outing is one that while repetitive, does prove to offer up its entertaining moments.
    • 50 Metascore

    Another movie based game and another typical outcome, it's hard to have a hopeful attitude before entering this game into the tray because it's predictable of what it's going to be like.

    Ratatouille has its moments, it will definitely appeal to fans of the film in terms of location and the characters.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Overall, the gameplay is repetitive but ultimately fun in very small doses, and with plenty of content included, means you do get your monies worth. If you're a fan, then this is an essential purchase despite desirable features which appeared in other games being absent; such as create a character, tactical 'Risk' like options upgradable body guards and such like. Sadly this means you're left with a bare bones yet interesting game rather than the all encompassing ride a game with a "seven" in the title should be.

    Not so fantastic and a game that I would say is disappointing considering the possibilities of the characters.
    • 76 Metascore

    R-Type Dimensions is pretty expensive for such an old game with such short levels, which makes this a game best suited to side-scrolling fanatics or people who just have money to burn.

    I've seen better on older generation consoles.

    Shrek The Third is a decent all encompassing adventure action game which features puzzling , platform and fighting elements. It’s certainly an entertaining game but somewhat on the simple side.
    • 59 Metascore

    With some of the puzzles being laborious rather than fun I suggest bringing your brain along with you as well. Overall Head hunter ends up being a very average game.

    Yars' Revenge is a fairly competent shooter and gives new life to a gaming classic. It has a decent story, and looks great on a huge display, but the voice acting and sound really detract from the overall appeal of the product, which in turn sucks the life out of all the action on screen. With a short story, and no real multiplayer, Yars' Revenge is a hard-pressed sell to any but the most die-hard of shooter fans.

    Sadly the implementation and impact on the player the game has will most likely be overshadowed by the numerous flaws. The lack of replay-ablity of the single player, the omission of playing as Lynch for lone players, the poor graphics, terrible enemy AI, and the mundane Havana levels, really kill the single player experience for me.

    With the original receiving praise from some, criticism from others, it was always going to be interesting to see whether or not the issues with the first were going to be addressed and improved upon, and for the most part, Hawx 2 is a definite improvement. Still though, something doesn't feel quite right, and there's something about the series that feels slightly "last-gen" to me, and I can't help but feel like the game could have been so much better.

    Unfortunately other than the Ford licence there is nothing here to really fire you up. Sure if a player wants a quick blast at a racing game then this delivers.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    To sum this up, this game is your standard scrolling shooter, it's nothing special and nothing majorly appalling.

    Ga'Hoole is a rarity in that it's one of those few movie tie-in titles that is actually worth playing.
