    Retro Game Challenge
    It's yet another unique DS experience, yet another game that simply must be played.

    DK: Jungle Climber
    The control scheme is still as intuitive as it was first time round, but it is now encased in a fun and rewarding experience that is a pleasure to play from start to finish. [JPN Import]

    Black
    Black is great fun, to be sure – it's just not some divine revelation. Instead, it has nothing to show you that you won't see within two days, at the outside.

    Tom Clancy's EndWar
    What is so frustrating about Endwar is that underneath everything, it is a brilliant game. The designers have just made it extremely difficult to get at this by wrapping the core gameplay with a number of ill-conceived modes.

    Exit
    While the ideas behind it may not be anything new, Exit is the sort of game that exudes a charm and style all of its own, helped considerably by its graphical front and jazzy musical accompaniment.

    Outlaw Volleyball
    Despite the more comprehensive set of drawn out challenges, it doesn't have the long-term appeal and playability of that title, or the "charm" of "DOAXBV's" well-established character roster.

    Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome
    On its own, Makai Kingdom stands out as a solid and decent example of the SRPG genre managing to bring in the new elements of buildings and vehicles, but it is less strategic than "Phantom Brave," and the story isn’t as enthralling or interesting as "Disgaea."

    Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
    Shining Force is only worth buying for those who like their RPG meals to be served in small helpings and without any fat. Those who are growing tired of the endless pages of stats and infinite battles that are currently in vogue will find a lot to enjoy here.

    Pool Paradise
    It is a good pool simulation, for extra realism you could add stale beer stains and fag burns to your carpet. It will take you a long time to unlock everything, but it’s not without its flaws. The length of time it takes the AI to make a shot grates, and the lack of solo practice annoys.

    Rayman Raving Rabbids
    Sheer enthusiasm is what carries this product though and, when played in the right environment, it’s absolutely hilarious.

    Bone: The Great Cow Race
    As with the first episode, The Great Cow race is still an immensely difficult title to rate. Though the same engine-based problems remain, the much more intriguing dialogue, and better flow of story and puzzles help culminate in making this second episode an even brighter prospect than the first.

    Gradius Collection
    The bottom line is that none of these games are new, but this is still a wonderful package that offers excellent value for money, and for Gradius fans it's a must-have.

    LEGO Batman: The Videogame
    While not necessarily a bad game, Lego Batman scrapes through under the definition of 'fun'.

    Lego Star Wars
    Extremely fun to pick up and play with now and then, but ultimately somewhat limited; its final destination gathering dust in a cupboard next to Hungry Hungry Hippos is all but assured.

    Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
    There will obviously be another in the series, by which time Gearbox Software will have hopefully managed to tame both their engine and the irksome controls, and ultimately provide the game experience that this title should have been.

    Donkey Konga
    It is ideal fun for both the serious and casual games player, and entertaining for those not taking part to watch the participants flinging their hands over the place.

    The Club
    For those who love score attack systems and shooting things then membership of The Club is certainly recommended.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All
    For those fans captivated by the first instalment, buying this is an absolute must. [JPN Import]

    Metal Slug 3
    Played as it should be, with minimum lives and maximum difficulty, Metal Slug can provide jaded gamers with a sublime and simple gaming experience. Unapologetically tough, Metal Slug will remind players of a time when all games set this frustrating a challenge.

    Star Fox Command
    The mix of strategy and shooting works quite well, and although there isn’t enough strategy here for Advance Wars veterans, shooting enthusiasts are well catered for.

    WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
    It is one of the most perfect social gaming experiences that anyone can and probably could play. There is no significance to how good you are, or how much the game has been played in the past - these are mere irrelevances. [JPN Import]

    Mega Man ZX
    There is nothing to recommend within this game cart to anyone who isn’t an uber-fan of the series, when there is much better fun to be had on both the DS and the GBA already – and for a much cheaper price.

    Super Mario Strikers
    Super Mario Strikers is an evolutionary step beyond Soccer Slam, and gives the small-team football game a new breath of life, trumping its predecessor and stamping other similar games such as FIFA Street into the ground.

    Silent Hill 4: The Room
    Ultimately, The Room comes across as a game afraid of its own potential; not only afraid, in fact, but petrified. For what it achieves the game pays a heavy cost in bad calls, misjudgements and, above all, an uncharacteristically blunt edge.

    Midtown Madness 3
    Offline, the game is ordinary and without much originality to it. Online, though, it is another kettle of fish all together, and there are few games out there that can match it for thrills, chills, and spills. The variety of play is just incredible.

    Wii Sports
    A massive, massive success as a launch title. Ignore the negativity you may have heard, and embrace this marvellous new bit of kit into your home.

    Tomb Raider: Underworld
    While the game does have a few minor weaknesses, they don’t take away from the fact that this is the definitive Tomb Raider experience to date.
    • 75 Metascore

    Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse
    A game that runs out of steam far too quickly for its own good. What begins as an intriguing and fun game rapidly goes downhill.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
    As a monster-collecting game, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker isn’t in the same league as Pokémon. As an RPG however, it’s a big success.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
    Umbrella Chronicles achieves greatness by being more than the sum of its parts. It takes the established Resident Evil genre, throws a dormant light-gun element into the mix, stirs it all together and still comes up with something that will amaze and thrill fans of both. This is an essential purchase for anyone who is a fan of Resident Evil, light-gun games or just action games in general. For devotees of all three, this is nothing short of gaming nirvana.
