    Deadliest Warriors is childish, in all the best ways, It takes a ridiculous premise and makes it work by doing everything over the top.

    Sonic Riders takes the racing formula and adds its own spin on things which results in a quirky, entertaining title that should not only appeal to sonic fans but racing fans as well who are looking to test their skills on other forms of transport, albeit fictitious ones!

    Due to a lack of diversity and interest within the party games, the extreme shortness of the competition mode and a lack of options within the ‘options’ screen, I’d be surprised if you play this more than thirty minutes a sitting.

    The story is gripping and rich in content.

    But what I will say is that if you're a gamer who has had a bad experience with, or you just don't enjoy the simplicity of movie based titles, and are questioning on whether this is any different to other run of the mills, then keep looking, this game won't change your mind.

    Sadly the game doesn’t really reward you for playing like a pro and if you are looking for advanced action based combat a la Ninja Gaiden then you might be a little disappointed.

    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.

    I think despite the shortcomings with this title it does a good job of providing some entertainment and fun and at the end of the day this is what counts.

    The End is Nigh, while on the short side, is a good game, it's easy to pick up and master, and is satisfying to dish out some punishment.

    You're in the Movies, will easily appeal to kids, but adults are sure to find this game just as entertaining.

    If you like tennis games, then this is certainly well worth checking out, although it doesn’t offer too much variation from similar games based on the sport.

    Once you scratch beneath the surface you are presented with a rather mediocre gaming experience which boils down to a simplistic shooter with magical overtones.

    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.

    NBA Ballers: Chosen One has some enjoyment if you play in short sessions.

    Like the majority of ports of strategy games to the consoles, I'd stay clear of this title like the deadly measles virus.

    Lord of the Rings: Conquest is an average game at best, which could have been improved in so many ways – better graphics, more refined combat, decent camera etc.

    Lost: Via Domus is above the average movie/show turn video game, it has its faults but does have some very nice touches.

    That magic that those previously mentioned franchises is no doubt a little lost within Marvel Super Hero Squad, in what becomes quite a delight in the LEGO games, can result in some painful and uninspiring play for the older gamer here, as the humour and universe is just not on par with the previously mentioned franchises when combined with blocks of LEGO.

    If you absolutely must play it, then I'd recommend nothing more than a rental.

    Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is an average game that will appeal to die hards only, and that's people who just love to level up characters and collect items for personal benefit.

    Sadly Import Tuner Challenge doesn’t re-invent the wheel and feels exactly the same as "Tokyo Extreme Racer." This isn’t necessarily a bad thing although I do feel more could have been added other than the obvious graphical upgrade.

    Rise of the Argonauts is not a terrible game, and in some respects is quite enjoyable, especially in regards to its story. However, the low production values in the gameplay and graphics department, does mean that you’ll possibly find enjoyment is severely hindered and your patience somewhat tested.

    Vancouver 2010 the video game isn't a bad game as it does capture the essence of the winter Olympics. However, a lack of variety with the events makes for a game that's not going to hold interest for too long, especially once mastered.

    The game has none of the style or effectiveness of other similar games and as I've said several times in this review, the whole thing smells of generic.

    Warriors: Legend of Troy is a game steeped in mythology, that attempts to be epic, yet ultimately proves a tad too repetitive.

    FaceBreaker is perhaps one of the few games that has driven me to despair.

    Planet 51 is a game for kids, it’s by no means entertaining, but is the perfect fit for a GTA friendly open world game – perfect training for the later years. The problem is that even youngsters will likely quickly tire of the game, assuming they’ve had the privilege of playing anything that offers up gaming entertainment.

    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.

    Had there been more variety of games then it would be a cool game to recommend a purchase. The only reason this game is going to be popular is the interactive element with Fable II as gamers seek a head start when they start playing in October.

    In my opinion Itagaki needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with some new concepts for this hybrid dating sports game. Some more depth is certainly needed as the inclusion of water sports doesn’t accomplish this.
