The sheer volume of content is really good, and the "entry level" program was well pitched for me at my beginner level.- NZGamer

Does what it sets out to - just don’t expect a revolution, Dance Dance or otherwise.- NZGamer

A surprisingly complicated shooter that could prove worthwhile for those who invest the time.- NZGamer

It was a good adventure while it lasted but once I was out of Arkham City, I had no desire to go back there and this DLC does not change that.- NZGamer

Classic Zelda puzzle-dungeons in a simple, in-and-out format.- NZGamer

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen shows promise early on, and the controls are near perfect - other than the transformation quirk, of course. It’s the first Transformers title to feature a multiplayer mode – and pulled it off well. Unfortunately, the single player falls flat with repetitive combat. Check this out for the online play.- NZGamer

It's only the poor provision for mech-fans in recent years that hold this game's score up to a respectable level so if you don't count yourself in their number, you're probably best advised to avoid this one.- NZGamer

There are certainly some good features in Web of Shadows, but they’re wrapped up in a pile of poor implementation.- NZGamer

If you enjoyed Dead Nation and are the kind of player who wants that high score challenge, then Road of Devastation could be the perfect expansion to scratch that twin-shooter itch for you.- NZGamer

Don't get me wrong; Island Tour's not particularly bad in any way; it's really not, but… unless you're hankering for a pretend board game and know a bunch of people who'll be keen for regular sessions, it's hard to imagine this being one of those purchases you'll look back on and think "that was the right decision."- NZGamer

Because you don't control the pace of the game or have control of the pieces the game chooses for you, I found Lucidity quite unsatisfying, a bit hands off, if you will.- NZGamer

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.- NZGamer

Its multi-player options will appeal to the hardcore co-op zombie crowd and its disaggregated gameplay elements set it apart from its peers. If you're addicted to zombie titles, and you want something with a little more depth, then it might be worth a rental. But unfortunately it just doesn't live up to its own hype.- NZGamer

If I were to take a pick, I’d say this game would be perfect to play with your son or daughter – you can play the actual levels, and go make a cup of coffee while they sit and watch the cutscenes.- NZGamer

But, good or bad, it's just more of the same. Not a recommended buy, unless you've lost your copies of the original Dawn of War and the other expansions, and still have a hankering to play.- NZGamer

Despite its flaws, Get Even is still a very worthwhile experience. The game’s narrative is a little predictable, but it’s told well. It builds tension unlike anything else, and uses jump scares sparingly to give maximum effect. It’s a great game, with unfortunate quirks holding it back – which will hopefully get patched out.- NZGamer

While it is disappointing to find no substantial changes apart from the touch screen kicking and lineouts, and outrageous how old some of its content is, Rugby Challenge is still the best rugby video game on offer.- NZGamer

Because of the way the story progressions are designed, with most missions clocking in at around fifteen minutes, CounterSpy would be a decent PS Vita title.- NZGamer

If you want more DeathSpank, or if you haven't tried him before, then The Baconing is old fashioned gaming with a comedic twist. But, if you've played the other games, don't expect too much different.- NZGamer

Not recommended for anyone with hands big enough to hold the buzzers. But for your very young children, it could well be a goer if you're looking for another use for your Buzz! buzzers.- NZGamer

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is a good first person parkour game, provided you keep your momentum going. Chaining move after move while running across rooftops feels very satisfying, but putting the brakes on to fight or pick up collectibles grinds the fun to a halt. An okay storyline keeps you running, but ultimately, graphics that are above-average at best, and an open world that is essentially corridors stitched together means Mirror’s Edge Catalyst falls short of what we really want out of this franchise.- NZGamer

A mediocre title that fulfils the basic requirements of a console role playing game. At times, it shows promise and it does have enough going for it to keep casual gamers entertained.- NZGamer

It's a decent adaptation of a fun card game, and at 400 Microsoft Points it's priced just right. If a few things were tidied up this would be one of the elite card genre titles, but it still holds its own against the competition.- NZGamer

The biggest draw here is the inclusion of many movie clips and sound bites. It’s pretty cool sitting back and watching a clip, and then pretty frantic as you realize you should have been paying more attention when the questions continually stump you. Oh, and if you aren’t much of a movie buff, you may as well stop reading now.- NZGamer

Whether you're new to the series or a veteran, you may find the later levels to be pretty challenging - and by challenging I mean annoying.- NZGamer
