Borderlands shows just how compelling a mix of shooting and looting can be. And it can be even better with friends.

One of the most unique adventure games in years. Gripping stuff from start to finish.

The hottest RTS game this year, and one of the most rewarding Lord of the Rings title available.

A thoroughly enjoyable military sim from start to finish: tense, engaging and strategic in equal measure.

Still as life-draining as the original. It'll suck you in for hours upon hours, only to let you go when you need to have a toilet break.

It's a good game brought a hair's width short of being great due to a handful of oversights.

Too often RPG's, both Japanese and Western, fall into a rut, offering almost the same experience as those that came before them. Valkyrie Profile 2 instead features some fresh feeling gameplay wrapped up in a beautiful looking and sounding package.

A highly enjoyable game and one that’s easily recommended to those who crave competitive play with a good dose of chaos thrown in.

UFC 2009 Undisputed is the genuine article; authentic, visceral and with enough technical depth to satisfy the most ardent fan.

This HD remake of Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes offers the same great puzzle RPG action with superior graphics and online play, but at the end of the day it feels more at home on the Nintendo DS.

A gale of fresh air, Child of Eden compels and delights on a number of levels.

Warlords does a great job of fleshing out some of the minor problems that persisted through the original, and also adds some exciting new features that does the series no harm. However, some gamers may not be happy with the lack of new content at hand, especially at its price.

Vanquish only sounds a single note, but it does so with style and flair to spare. The most polished, exciting and interesting shooter of the year.

It has a completely unique style, both in the audio, sound and gameplay departments that cannot be easily compared to anything else.

You really have to wonder how long Yuke’s continue to push out the exact same game with minor changes each year when there are so many issues – even EA’s games feature bigger alterations than what we’ve seen from Smackdown over the past few years.

It isn't as evolutionary as "Jak II" was but it is still a fun platformer which puts up a great challenge.

A great suprise game only really let down by the latter couple of levels and some shoddy voicework.

Whether you bleed for all things Battlefield or are just a gamer after a moderately priced casual shooter that is fun to pick up and play, you can't go past the entertaining gameplay of Battlefield 1943.

The game falls short in several areas: the game has a tendency of being too easy, the camera angles can be frustrating, the framerate drops and a lot of other nit-picks that prevents this game from being the best in the series.

An indie triumph that takes classic gameplay from Ye Olden Days, dusts it off, buffs it up and reminds us all why we got hooked on gaming in the first place.

The game proves that the PSP is more than competent enough to handle "pick up and play" titles, which is really the type of games that people want on handhelds. It's an addictive game and i don't think i've ever smiled more whilst playing a game than I did with LocoRoco. It's insanely addictive, and has a unique look that is unmatched on the PSP.

A great mix of fun and frustration.

Would have scored higher if the PAL version had been the complete version, but still a must buy for any 18+ year old Wii owners with half a brain cell.

It's a step back from Round 2, but still delivers a knockout to the competition.

A well done story, large set pieces and a new co-op mode are great, but aren't enough to make Halo 3: ODST as different as it was supposed to be.

Graphic adventure fans would be drop dead crazy to let this this fantastic adventure pass. Pun intended.

Pixeljunk Monsters is a brilliant game that's perfectly suited to the PlayStation Network. With several levels and some incredibly easy to pick up gameplay, Pixeljunk Monsters is a title that's definitely worth picking up.

A good game that is becoming a little too familiar. C'mon Neversoft, show us some evolution!
