    Fresh, quality content is something that the PSP needs dearly, and just happens to be something that Maverick Hunter X offers in droves. Lovely.

    Repetitious gameplay and confusing plot drag down what is otherwise a breathtaking audio and visual experience. Visually there is absolutely nothing else like it, which alone warrants a serious look.

    Not quite a 2K killer, this year's edition of NBA Live is definitely a significant step towards reclaiming the basketball videogaming crown.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters definitely uses the iconic tournament as an advantage and is a great golf game. But it needs more tangible reward and polish, with less fluff and gratuity.

    If you like X-Men and have four friends that share that like, you are going to find that there's a lot of fun to be had in X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse. It's just a shame that it doesn't really appeal to the rest of us.

    Where many games tend to stick to well trodden gameplay paths when dealing with well know intellectual property, Duck Amuck is brimming with originality.

    A really great game that feels a leap ahead of its other Eyetoy counterparts. We still can't help but get the feeling that it is a little light on features though.

    The game play is very varied, with every ten minutes bringing something new to be done. Stealth, action, platforming, all genres make some kind of appearance.

    The Eye of Judgment is one of those rare games that breaks out of the typical video game mould. If you’re into strategy, fantasy or CCG’s generally, it’s a game that deserves a look.

    Shift 2: Unleashed doesn't offer the experience that so much of the preview footage was based on. That being said, it's still a great racing game.

    Splinter Cell: Conviction features an engrossing campaign and superb co-operative mode. Ubisoft has implemented some serious changes to advance the series and create a worthy stealth-action game.

    For 800 MS Points, Crazy Machines Elements is well worth the money, providing patient players willing to overlook its minor flaws with countless hours of fascinating and complex puzzles.

    Swarm really has a killer one-two punch with its combination of engaging and unique gameplay and whimsical presentation style.

    The Club is so excellent at capturing the essence of old-school arcade gaming that you might find yourself trying to shove dollar coins into your console.

    Despite the lateness, Call of Duty 3 is a intense and enjoyable shooter for the PS3 but only worth it if you haven't already played another version.

    It's a little bare-bones, but Art Style: AQUITE is unique and addictive.

    You will find that the action-packed explosion-fest that is Mercenaries 2 is kinda like a good action film: light on story, heavy on action and sure to keep a big, dopey grin on your face the entire time you play.

    Stuntman Ignition is far better than its predecessor and a highly enjoyable game. As long as the premise behind the game appeals to you we have no hesitation recommending the game.

    This is the ultimate version of the game to own.

    Top Spin 3 is a decent game with an incredible learning curve. Anyone who has the patience to stick with it will enjoy the game, but anyone who is just a casual fan of tennis games will be put off by the steep learning curve.

    Requiring much more lateral thinking and old-school adventure antics than some of Telltale's latest offerings, Senseless Acts of Justice is both hilarious and challenging, although it once again leaves us hungry for more.

    Schafer hasn't been able to crack the finer details of blending a story with action and strategy, but Trenched is definitely a step in the right direction, opening up a myriad of possibilities.

    Dead Head Fred is an interesting, immersive and innovative game that makes good use of the PlayStation Portable's capabilities. A few gameplay issues and the eventual receptiveness drag the title down a notch or two though.

    Meteos Wars may not be ideal with a standard controller, but it is still a fun, hectic and different take on the traditional block clearer.

    Whilst the clunky control system is the only significant flaw, it certainly doesn't quite ruin the game.

    It isn't a deep game but should keep most gamers immersed while they play.

    It's still rough around the edge, but House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut proves to be a package that is great value for money, especially if you haven't already played Overkill on the Wii.
    • 79 Metascore

    The plot, which we've intentionally avoided going into so as not to spoil it, is much more interesting than your average FPS too. Its relatively short length, lack of challenge and uninspiring multiplayer mean that it doesn’t quite fall under the ‘must own’ category.

    UEFA EURO 2008 is a fantastic game, and it's amazing how different the title is from FIFA 08. Football fans who are heavily into the tournament should pick this title up immediately.

    Possibly the best Kirby game ever. Platformer fans need this in their collection.
