    The House of the Dead: Overkill
    What gives this game its punch is the sublime grindhouse presentation, making for a hugely entertaining game experience. The gameplay is ultimately very shallow, but from the soundtrack to the dialogue to the sheer silliness of the story you'd have to be dead inside to not enjoy this.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
    Casual players might prefer to stick to its Wii Sports equivalent, but PGA Tour 10 is undoubtedly the definitive golf videogame for fans of the sport, offering a level of control and nuance that hasn't been achieved before in sports games.

    Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
    If Disgaea: Hour of Darkness was a person, they would have a red hand stamp labelled "Insane" and would be locked up in an asylum cell.

    Super Paper Mario
    Super Paper Mario is a game that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be and while it’s enjoyable, it’s ultimately an unremarkable adventure.

    Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception
    One of the finest games to come from a console to a handheld and is easily the best flight sim on a handheld.

    Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict
    With a bit more work on the weapons and little less emphasis on the melee combat, this mix of first and third person combat could be a real hit next time around. As it stands, it's still a very good game, but it falls a little short.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm
    As solid and reliable as Soulstorm is, it's a largely uninspired attempt to wring a few more bucks out of the series. If it's 'more of the same' that you're after, then go right ahead.

    Battlefield 2142
    Whilst not being overly different from the previous Battlefield games it does offer significant improvements and additions to gameplay to make it an extremely good game. A few bugs bring it down a little.

    The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
    The best open ended superhero game to date, despite what the score says. Excellent action sequences, but needs more mission variety.

    Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
    A worthy follow up to its predecessor, but did we really need another one in such a short space of time?

    Sonic Classic Collection
    Sonic Classic Collection compiles some of the greatest platformers of all time in one convenient portable package.

    NHL 2K7
    Solid game of ice hockey that shines brightly in some regards - but it isn't the Holy Grail of universal accessibility we would have liked. It's worth giving this pucker giving a lengthy chance.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
    If you've played the previous two titles then this may be worth skipping but if not then here is your chance to get two of the most enjoyable games released in the past two years.

    Back to the Future: The Game - Episode II: Get Tannen!
    The second episode's story is a marked improvement on the first one, although it's still a short, easy ride through 1930s Hill Valley.

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

    Quake Arena Arcade
    At the end of the day, Quake Arena Arcade is a virtual ghost town, but if players are willing to give it a crack, it's one serious shooter that is worthy of your attention.

    LittleBigPlanet 2
    LittleBigPlanet 2 throws in an absolutely massive amount of new features but forgets to improve upon its gameplay mechanics and in turn loses some of its groove.

    Dynasty Warriors 5
    Improves on its predecessors in the right ways, and removes a lot of the useless features. That said, the core gameplay is still the same, and may strike some as being either repetitive or milking a series to near death.

    Band Hero
    Band Hero is essentially just Guitar Hero 5 re-skinned and with a new track-list, but it's still an enjoyable game best enjoyed by its target teenage audience.

    WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006
    All the modes have carried over, most of the commentary has been removed and the wrestlers still look great. The loading is a huge disappointment though.

    Dead Island
    Dead Island, while rough around the edges, has a lot of content for those willing to put in the hard yards of side questing and zombie murdering, and is ultimately a solid open world adventure.

    Beat City
    A decent addition to any rhythm game enthusiast's collection, no matter what the age or experience level. However, older or more experienced gamers may find that the game lacks challenge and that the game's aesthetic is a tad too cheery.

    Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty
    As far as a downloadable episode goes, Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty serves its purpose extremely well. The experience is fun, fast and furious throughout the four hours that it lasts and fans will definitely get a kick out of seeing how the story has progressed.

    Madden NFL 07
    This game is a classic example of a developer being forced to innovate and embrace the Wii remote. Madden NFL 07 on the Wii is clearly one of the best uses of the Wii remote yet.

    SingStar Vol. 2
    It's like a party in a box.

    Archer Maclean's Mercury
    A surprisingly addictive puzzle game that not only looks great, but is also insanely deep.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
    Although it may not be without its problems, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is still an incredibly fun and highly recommended experience.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Drawn to Life
    Drawn to Life offers up some solid, yet safe, platforming. Where it really shines is in the concept behind its world and the ability to draw sections it. There are few games that let you get creative, but this is definately one of them.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Disaster: Day of Crisis
    Disaster: Day of Crisis has a lot of different gameplay mechanics which provide a pleasant and unique experience to players.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Meteos: Disney Magic
    The additions added to Disney Magic more than make it a fun and engaging title however, it may seem a little too familiar for returning players and only nine franchises have been taken advantage of plus there are no remixes of classic Disney tunes.
