With the basic controls it's like a jazzed up version of Wii Sports. With the full manual controls it's a mess. Take your pick.

Dead on arrival. [June 2009, p.74]

Much like a value supermarket sausage, this is 18% Sonic and 82% sawdust. Avoid it. [May 2009, p.56]

A relaxed approach to skiing and snowboarding that has loads of visual charm, very satisfying handling and a huge frozen playground to explore at your leisure.

A brilliant portable fix for PC Peggle-heads and a treat for newcomers to the world of peg-toppling. [June 2009, p.63]

A zombie-infested mall doesn't make much sense without zombies to infest it. Poodles and parrots are among the most irritating substitutes imaginable. [Apr 2009, p.50]

A solid second outing for the Puzzle Quest series that will keep you busy for light years if you can overlook a few frustrating elements. [June 2009, p.65]

It's good value if you just want to spend the afternoon mindlessly shooting cannon fodder. Don't expect anything different, though. [May 2009, p.77]

It didn't make an impact first time around, and it's unlikely to make one now. Everything Plus has to offer has been done better elsewhere. [Apr 2009, p.65]

Another strong offering for RPG fans to sink their teeth into, with some great graphical updates, but be warned: this is two parts work, one part play.

Shadow Dragon boasts some of the most intense turn-based squabbling in existence. [Feb 2009, p.60]

There are some cheeky thrills - roughly two per character - but this is tiresome. [Apr 2009, p.58]

A bunch of so-so games. [June 2009, p.64]

Scratch one up for the 'hardcore.' [Apr 2009, p.52]

You'll see interesting sights, but this doesn't capitalise on the ick factor or the thrill of seeing our world through a fresh set(s) of eyes.

It's good fun and something different. [May 2009, p.76]

Really get into it and you'll spend weeks finding the perfect 'solutions". For everyone else, this is a rare actioner on Wii, and very competently handheld. [JPN Import; Mar 2009, p.58]

Not quite the blistering next step after "Hotel Dusk," but Cing at their worst are still better than most. Gently intriguing stuff. [Aug 2009, p.68]

A decent and briefly diverting 'boarder, but the full fat games are far superior, stuffed with content and hence better value for your money. [June 2009, p.72]

Hardly epic and in no way legendary, but this contains mild thrills - if you can come to terms with how outdated it all is. [Aug 2009, p.71]

Well-presented and very charming. [Apr 2009, p.72]

The presentation will attract younger gamers but unless you're adept at this gaming lark The Chase could prove frustrating. [May 2009, p.78]

A dark fantasy adventure stripped of darkness, fantasy and, well, adventure. [July 2009, p.71]

A blatant rip-off that, if anything, isn't derivative enough, stealing only the surface ideas from LocoRoco, but ignoring the invention that lies underneath. [Mar 2009, p.73]

This little gem was made by three blokes in a Parisian attic. Basically a shoot-'em-up, but one stuffed with loads of great ideas and lots of content. Tres bon. [Mar 2009, p.67]

A bit disappointing in terms of its presentation but we can recommend it to anyone with a hankering for an unusually sweet god game. [Mar 2009, p.54]

Word-manglers of any sort should have some fun with this. [Apr 2009, p.77]

Visit your local arcade instead. [Apr 2009, p.72]
