Despite the lack of ambition, with a great fighting system that never gets boring, Naruto provides fast and furious fights, making it one of the best fighters available for the Wii, even if you’re not a Naruto fan.

Zack & Wiki is a must have in any gamers’ collection and a beacon of hope for quality 3rd party games.

Great job from Treasure, very well balanced and great fun once mastered. The best fighting game on DS, at least outside of Japan.

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

It was a game no-one noticed because no-one should notice this. Ever. Don't bother looking at it never mind buying or renting it.

Great real life-like controls make for a very good golf simulation and all the modes and multiplayer will keep you busy. One for the fans.

If you are looking for a game with a challenge then look no further. Etrian Odyssey will kill you and keep you coming back for more.

It is a short game, clocking up around 10 hours, but that does not detract from the enjoyment, which at times is sad to say, repetitive.

A fine demonstration of the genre and the medium, and will leave the masses breathless.

Just as a Nintendo 64 without "Super Mario 64" was unthinkable, so too is a Wii without Wii Sports. It’s one of the most perfect launch games we’ve seen.

A real platforming gem. Add another point to the score if you never played the original.

If you want to make Contact in strange new ways then this passionate game could be for you. Just don’t be hoping for something amazing to take you away from all your bases.

If you want to play The Sims, go out and buy a PC and the game too. It may be a lot more expensive this way but for the true Sims experience I would recommend it.

Low in price, but high in quality, 42 All-Time Classics is one of the surprise highlights of the Autumn DS line-up.

It falls in an uncomfortable category somewhere between good and average that makes it almost impossible to define. There are flashes of genius, marred by long moments of mediocrity. Excellent flight sections are needlessly maimed by an over tight timer and difficult controls.

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

A polished, accessible and entertaining series of brain-bending teasers. Great stuff.

The bottom line is you must own this. It’s your duty as a DS owner.

The game might have a number of faults but the enjoyment of the battling makes up for it, add to that the WiFi duelling and you’ll be glued to your DS for a long time.

If you aren’t into logic puzzles and memory tests, and you’re a man of action rather than one of thought, this game is definitely not for you. But playing this – for however long you do end up playing it – is a pleasure, albeit a guilty one.

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.

One lazy attempt to bring the Worms franchise to the DS. If only they had put some time and effort in it.

It's the Tetris that defined the handheld generation over two decades ago, resurrected and remade better than ever. The definitive version and will most likely remain so for another twenty years.

The most explosive (and fun) multi-player game out there for the DS. You will love it if you strive to master the controls.

Super Princess Peach is a platform game taken straight off a Nintendo blueprint; it has the charm and simplicity reminiscent of the “good old days” and yet remains fresh thanks to solid, original gameplay.

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

Great strategy game becomes an average one on the DS.

Another slice of obscurity from the Sonic Team cake of craziness, it's just a shame that the proverbial cake is half-baked and could do with a bit more icing.
