    Despite its obvious shortcomings, it's difficult to overlook the game's clear enjoyment. Keep expectations low and you could find your 'guilty pleasure' title of the year.

    The technology behind Singstar needs to improve; charging $49.95 for what is essentially a cd is fairly expensive. However, the game is still incredibly fun and addictive in multiplayer, plus the songs are some of the best yet.

    Ultimate Mortal Kombat isn't quite the Ultimate collection of Mortal Kombat games but is still a lot of fun and is a game that Mortal Kombat fans should definitely pick up.

    Burnout Dominator is a good game at heart, but feels quite stale when compared to its predecessors.

    Triggerheart: Exelica is a good little shooter that's held back by a lack of value for anyone other than the hardcore.

    Without a doubt one of the most surprising games of the year. If you're a fan of the show or the Desperate Housewives television show then the game comes highly recommended.

    Mortal Kombat Armageddon hasn't changed much in six months. There are a few new bonuses and executing moves is done different but the game is still very enjoyable.

    For all the game has got going for it, which is still a lot, Fable III is unable to transcend the sum of its parts and we're left to lament what could have been.

    Own the City still has framerate issues and a gameplay engine that hasn't really changed, but it's still a fun game.

    For 800 points, Tetris Splash is well recommended to those who enjoy the game of Tetris. Just don't expect all the trimmings.

    A rather pointless port but still an enjoyable game available at a budget price point.

    The Bogey Man is a good ending to the series, although it is a little too slowly paced.

    Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines is a good title that rides nicely on its predecessor's coat tails, but is let down by a lack of polish and evolution.

    The game encourages you to dig deep into your vocabulary and create powerful attacks. It’s surprisingly engaging and when coupled with strategic elements such as Gem Tiles, and can also be quite challenging. To keep things fresh there are also a variety of mini-games on offer. A must for casual gamers.

    A very calming and intriguing experience, but unfortunately nothing substantial to keep you coming back for more.

    While it doesn't quite fulfill the high expectations, Mirror's Edge is a unique gaming experience that is certainly worth a look.

    It’s not worth the trouble when there’s greater wartime FPS out there or coming up.

    Mortal Kombat: Armageddon isn't wildly different from it's predecessors, but it features a lot of characters. It's disappointing that the gameplay hasn't really evolved but Armageddon is still a fun title.

    Whilst Crazy Taxi has a number of technical issues, they don't add up to anything more than a minor inconvenience to the majestic mayhem, especially with a second player along for the ride.

    Let's Go Tower Defence Play! is the best South Park game out there, not that there was a lot of competition. Fans of the show will get the most out of it.

    Overlooking its visual and storytelling blemishes, Tom Clancy's HAWX is an entertaining flight game with solid controls and satisfying gameplay.

    The game can be a little restrictive but the campaign mode is enjoyable and is sure to satisfy World War II FPS fans.

    While poor programming undermines the single-player, Operation Flashpoint: Red River offers an engaging and challenging cooperative experience for shooter fans of all levels.

    The Time Crisis: Razing Storm compilation is a really mixed disc – for those seeking out a light gun game that implements the Move controller well, it will only be partially satisfying, given the weakness of Razing Storm's motion controls. Thankfully, the package is partially saved by the controls and fun factor of Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates especially.

    Project 8 is still a solid game, but the PlayStation 3 version is just inferior to the version we've been playing for four months.

    Could this be the best game version of At World's End? Sure, but realistically that isn't too difficult. Good for a run-through.

    Better than its predecessor, but only just.

    FlatOut: Head On basically takes FlatOut 2 and tweaks a few things, resulting in a solid game, with plenty of content. The racing isn't quite as good this time around, but the Carnage mode is pretty decent.

    If you're after a quick Tetris fix, and you own a 3DS, this iteration is an obvious choice. For those who have every other version on the market though, it might not do enough to continue the blocky wonderland.

    With such a low price point, the best format to pick Ratatouille up for is the PC. For a platformer, Ratatouille is pretty enjoyable and younger gamers should enjoy it.
