This is definitely a must for any ice hockey fan or anyone who enjoyed Speedball back in the 80’s.

It will leave you wondering how cool a Prince of Persia that was designed around the capabilities of the platform might have been, though.

Three games for the price of one is a great buy, but be prepared for shoddy looking characters.

Both the simple controller and the easy-to-understand gameplay mean that anyone can have fun with the game.

There's a decent amount of content on hand here, but it soon felt like a bit of a chore to get through it all.

It's not the most original idea for a game and there may be some technical issues to be worked out. But, from the all the unlockables, the endless mixture of clothes, rewards, weapons, mods, and kill phases like 'Let me spray you with my awesome', Gotham City Impostors has plenty of awesome to go round.

You’re not going to find an incredible game here but what you do get is slickly presented game with a whole lot of laughs along the way.

Pretty light on content but it's (nearly) a launch title so it does its job well enough, particularly when it comes to demonstrating the value-add of the 3D depth.

But considering the speed of your movements, the hardware still does an admirable job of tracking your Ninja gymnastics.

It’s size and scope elicits feelings of wonder and irrelevance in equal measure, creating metaphors from calculus and code. Those feelings are savagely curtailed by oppressive systems that transform it into something smaller: a videogame.

Even in plain old two dimensions, first-person coastering is edge-of-your-seat stuff. I can only imagine what it would be like with virtual reality.

With a bit more polish, and a few much needed scenes, this game could be amazing.

Hellgate: London presents a wonderful story set against an artfully designed world but never goes that extra mile to separate it from the masses.

f you like, you can also customise your darts; I was pleasantly surprised to be able to add purple skulls to my dart 'feathers'.

In the end the high difficulty will drive away casual gamers so trying the demo first is a must. But between the tough bosses and fast gameplay, this is a worthy successor to the NES original.

Armageddon can't help but feel like a poor cousin to the top games in the genre. It shines brightest when it's doing its own thing, but when it tries to fall in line with genre tropes, it comes up short.

One of the best things about Crackdown is that it wastes no time in throwing players deep into the action.

While it's probably best suited to fans of the franchise, the game's gorgeous animal antics are guaranteed to generate warm fuzzies in all but the coldest of hearts.

Viewed as a standalone title, Silent Hill: Homecoming is extremely competent, but as a sequel, it falls short of progressing the series in any meaningful way.

It's cheap enough, has loads of personality, and shows the kind of promise that suggests that a sequel (should we be so lucky) will knock it out of the park.

Design missteps and combat randomness don’t defeat this sombre tale.

If you're looking for updated gameplay, you'll find nothing here to satisfy you. It's still very hard (the modus operandi of arcade games in the 80s) and little gameplay niggles (like the oddly backwards-feeling button layout or enemies getting trapped places you can't get at) keep twitching at you as you play.

For those who can't get enough, Liberation is a handy portable companion to Assassin's Creed III, but it is definitely a lighter experience both in physical form and in terms of content.

This is a game with a number of mediocre elements, being released in a season already crowded with other shooters. However, the main thing it does well – capture the spirit and fun of the Bond movies – is enough to draw in a number of people.

The unashamedly jovial and fun tone of Batman: The Brave and the Bold is sure to please gamers young and old.

Great for the PC crowd, provided you have a controller.

Eye Pet is one of the most innovative virtual pet titles around, and a seemingly natural step in the evolution of the genre. Although it’s marketed towards the kids, even adult gamers may find a spot in their collection for this innovative little pet simulation.

It's recommended as a good multi-player fun fest, but genuine fans might find it less satisfying than the last few iterations - which have been rip-snorters.
