Endure the few inevitable instances of frustration and your left with a solid sonic spin-off.

Colorz lures you in with its lavish colours & test to your coordination skills but it takes difficulty a step too far, unless you like your hard games with a side of cruelty. But if you’re looking for a multiplayer game, it’s a fun cooperative experience

A very slow SRPG that feels more like an interactive novel. Its characters and story might make it worthwhile for fans, but if Bleach is not your thing, steer clear of it.

A short, but fun, and visually outdated, but still enjoyable, combination for a reasonable price.

Unless you really need to play a wrestling game while away from home, avoid and stick to the home console version.

While we were worried Planet Moon Studios couldn’t live up to the usual quality of 5th Cell, the team has put out a decent Wii platformer that anyone can admire, despite the targeted, younger demographic.

Worms is slowly getting stale and Battle Island is doing nothing to prevent that.

A game that could easily be made better with a decent story and a better fighting system to seperate the good players from bad.

If you watch Cartoon Network during the day you may like it, if you prefer their Adult Swim shows avoid.

It simple nature makes it perfect for a quick play every now and then.

So as Jambo Safari threatens to reinvent itself it becomes a jack of all trades, though master only of what it originally was: an arcade cabinet that this old codger loved back in the day but one that should have probably stayed there.

Our advice: use a GameCube controller, learn the shortcuts, and hope the next one sorts out that boost system.

While the groundwork for a great Super Monkey Ball is there, the level design fails to realise this potential.

Sonic in name only, this is yet another example of an experimental series off-shoot that while nicely presented does little in the way of gameplay to convince fans.

No fun at all, once you’ve done the first mission, you’ve done them all.

For a first shot at a WiiWare title, it’s not a horrendous effort from Oxygen, though it is overpriced. It can be good fun, but that feeling just doesn't last long enough.

It’s a shame that the game is brought down by repetition and difficult controls. It could have honestly been a lot more fun to play.

While it seems that effort has gone into making this easy and enjoyable for kids, the price is too high for this kind of game.

A decent detective title that will often challenge, delight and entertain you throughout a reasonably sizeable adventure. Another solid example within its genre that ticks all of the boxes and provides an enjoyable experience for the player.

It’s whack-a-mole with a Wii Remote. You won’t find it all that taxing to fill in the gaps yourself.

Rygar is an admirable revamp of a once classic NES game, it is still a port of a six year old title though and it shows; however it's still worthy of attention if you missed it the first time around and are looking for a reasonably competent adventure game.

Top Spin 2 could have been so much more; instead of just going down the 2D route they tried too hard and ruined what could have been a great game.

Best for darts fans with spare money. Has potential that will hopefully be worked on for next year.

An attempted brand new direction only proves Travellers Tales didn't have the required monkey balls.

Yet another Movie tie-in falls victim to an evident lack of effort or ambition from it's developer and so ends up being nothing more than the latest in a long line of crudely cobbled together cash-ins that are an insult to gaming itself.

NBA Live 09 really nails the All-Play subtitle and is an enjoyable outing when your taking to the court with friends. But play it on your own and both the cheap-shot exploits and ugly looks make it a title you’ll soon tire of.

Captain America: Super Soldier is a fun yet forgettable adventure. Only buy if you're a Marvel nut.

Bubble Bobble is a classic example of what was once a decent arcade game that has been updated badly, the classic gameplay and multiplayer are welcome but the tacked on extras and lack of features means there is little else to warrant a purchase.
