A worthy continuation to the original Company of Heroes and is every bit as enjoyable.

I am disappointed with the latest trend, where what looks to be a great game on another platform is an ultimate disappointment on the DS.

Possibly the most detrimental aspect of the PS2 port is the stuff they’ve taken out of the original PSP version. The visual gore is gone, which is odd considering you can still hear the crack of a bad guy’s neck being broken (it still retains its R16 rating). The ability to taser is gone, and most noticeably, the much lauded multiplayer is gone.

All in all, the lineup of songs isn’t terrible – it just lacks any compelling set of standout songs that hold everything together.

Better than the sum of its parts, the game offers an arcade experience with a little more room to muck around and a little more scope for customising things than is usually offered.

A fantastic setting, realistic controls, and insane graphics make EA Skate a definite must-have.

A pretty, short, next-generation God of War-alike with quirky gameplay.

DiRT is one of the prettiest and most accessible racing games you’ll ever lay hands on.

A pretty average affair. Fun can be had if you’re really into your hockey, but there are better games to choose from.

Once again, the Big N delivers with a unique gameplay experience, visuals that are, in the very least, fun, music and sound effects that hark back to a simpler time and any gamer's holy grail - a giant, luminous space banana. Happy climbing!

Drawn to Life is by no means a bad game, it's just a simple one with innovative mechanics thrown into the mix.

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

Good job EA, you have finally given a parachute to your declining series and now you are ready to pick yourself up from a botched landing and create a truly next-generation shooter.

Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 simply repeats a lot of the mistakes of its predecessor and proves that it wasn’t just the escort missions holding Uzumaki Chronicles back: it was an overall flawed design.

While the graphics are certainly less polished than what you’d find in the PSP version, they still retain the typical Worms feel.

But if I got this for Christmas, I’d be writing Santa a somewhat angry letter, and asking where in the hell my puppy was.

So there's a sense of overkill. Unless of course you're a Total War obsessive -- in which case, the Kingdoms expansion is more or less chocolate-covered awesomeness. And then some.

What changes you do find in Tiger Woods 08 are positive; however, it’s just the fact that there is more polish needed to make this title really stand out.

Its incredible controls and even gameplay really elevate the franchise to new levels.

Where it is impressive is in the explosion and smoke effects – the combination of high impact sound, bright/expansive visuals and the shake of your camera makes for quite an impact.

The graphics are amazing; the audio is possibly even more stunning; the sheer cohesiveness of the world of Rapture is absurdly impressive; the gameplay is very tight, polished, frantic, and fun; and all of these elements combine to create an experience that is even greater than the sum of its (already remarkable) parts. This is simply a game that everyone needs to play.

Questionable gameplay decisions, quirky AI, and lacklustre online play really dog NASCAR 08 from being up there with the premier racing titles on the 360, but with some improvement - like some of EA’s other franchises have had since starting next-gen - then it too might find itself one day in the winner’s circle on pit-lane.

Regardless of the fact that it’s basically a third version of the same title, Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a well put together game with an interesting storyline and some inspired settings.

The Wii version doesn’t look as pretty as the other next gen consoles, but delivers back in spades with the realism that is offered by the Wii remote and nunchuck.

This is a bare-bones platform fighting game and will probably only appeal to Naruto fans.

A delightful little hack n’ slash rpg despite, or maybe because of, its flaws.

If you can get past the fact that you must do a lot of reading, you'll find a game which is highly original, incredibly fun and will stay in your memory for many 'next-generations' to come.

An extremely well made and well thought out romp packed with loads of laughs and fun things to do.
